Tim hit a few shots. Kyrie played defense. Jones made some high flying plays. Exum didn’t get hurt. But, my vote came down to this, it’s incredible when someone does something that no player in the history of the franchise has done. Well done Gafford. But, it’s even more incredible, practically overwhelmingly so, when someone does something that no one who has ever played the game, in the long history of basketball, has done. That’s a once in a lifetime moment. I voted for Luka. Any other situation would have been a Gafford vote.
Well said, and very true. But it illustrates precisely why I didn’t vote for either of those guys. They did sensational things that they’ve been doing consistently over the past few games. (Hardaway was a huge plus instead of what’s become his usual minus.)
Pessimism doesn’t make you smart, just pessimistic.
