Purely numbers he deserves it. But to me watching the game he wasn't in when they actually started playing defense and making their big push. Hit two more 3s when game was already very likely over late 4th.

He was very good obviously, but that's my logic. I'm a big numbers guy, but I care about that kind of stuff as well.

franz was okay to me tonight, i thought KCP was better.....i think +/- is a hit or miss stat so that +21 doesn't mean that much to me....For me this was one of KCP's best games while this game was below standard to me for franz

Let's start with an awesome run.

Harris is now upped his Zombie total to 21 games. That is: he has now NOT SCORED in half of the games he has played in this year.

He has to be closing in on a Magic record for most games with Zero points. Right?

This game was win becasue of TO differential. That clearly separates:

Caldwell-Pope for the vest.

Going with F-Wagner for the cummerbund, as I cannot ignore the +/- of +21 as a tie breaker over:

Banchero. Dude goes 24/4/10 with two steals a perfect 6/6 and he is not a top-2 player. Ace for the mittens.


Lot's of lollis here.

Joseph did exactly his job
Anthony on a nice return to Magic blue
Houstan for evloving into "next Caldwell-Pope"
And as it's a win, Isaac and Black for solid plus/minus lines with "some" boxscore in that

Carter gets a lolli as 8/5 deserves one. But dude: you got outplayed by Bismack Biyombo.

Kind of hurts giving KCP the vest for this unicorn. A probable fluke of all flukes. I'd back Caleb to have another big 3 point shooting game before we see something like this again. But I would love to be wrong

Paolo had a spectacularly bad game going until the final five minutes. He scored four times late when the game was more or less already out of reach (Magic up 2-3 possessions or more on each bucket).

With 5 minutes left in the game Paolo was 5/17 from the floor for just 15 points with 5 turnovers and was playing really bad defense.
