I want to say JJJ, but I think Marcus.

[MUBigDance]

JJJ because critically good first half. Because he is a Senior. Because I voted against him early in the season because of his heads down drives but he deserved it then.

[ducs]

I vote for JJ or Howard

[jsglow]

Markus' stat line is certainly impressive.  But in the first half especially, JjJ almost single handedly propelled us to a double digit lead.  It's the kind of 'I will simply not allow us to lose' kind of game we would liked to have seen more of.  But never mind that now Senior.  Thanks for leading us to the Dance today.

JJJ was a monster first half which set the tone

  Props to KR for deferring not to start on Senior Night.  Nice Move.

Then to start the second half he almost single handedly gave it all back getting back cut three times before missing the dunk. Its all wojo could handle before benching him for ten minutes... That has to make him ineligible in my eyes

Great leadership.  He recognized that the current lineup was playing well, so deferred for the good of the team.  Love that attitude!

[Vander Blue Man Group]

It's JJJ. He owned that first half and was the reason we had that big of a cushion.

He had a rough stretch in the second but we don't win the game without that performance.

[#UnleashSean]

Boo

He's not wrong.

[Dr. Blackheart]

JjJ for using his left hand.

[MUUWUWM]

JJ. Set the tone in first half for the team.

SET THE TONE FOR THE CROWD FOR REMAINDER OF GAME.

Crowd was into it and stayed into it...thats huge.

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

JjJ for using his left hand.

I noticed that also but feel validated now!

I went with JJJ even after the missed dunk and FT. Markus played well of course and has a nice stat line but his shaky handle was exploited a little in the second half not to mention his two missed 1&1 opportunities at the end. JJJ got us a lead that we never relinquished.

[Spotcheck Billy]

It's got to be Trey J.

[Herman Cain]

Excellent choice.

We need JJJ to keep going strong.

[Loose Cannon]

I think AR's patented 3 Pt foul streak ended in this game.  Hope he starts another.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

No, I think this makes 2 of the last 3 games without what is now termed "a Rowsey".  He's in a slump!

Thanks, I missed it.

[Markusquette]

Thought Markus deserved it.  All-around game, kept it at a good pace and played with poise, hit some shots as big as JJJ and also grabbed 7 boards.  Very impressive performance, but kudos to the whole squad and Jajuan for showing up.  It was obvious how upset he was with himself for the missed dunk.  He seems to get in his own head and beat himself up too much for the mistakes.

Can you share more about this?  Had not heard this.  Classy.  Was glad to see Wojo start Luke and JJJ in their last games at the Bradley Center - and both responded.

Stud could have been JJJ or Markus.  Though I must say JJJ's SOTG picture on the left cracks me up, and perfectly encapsulates his personality.  Happy go lucky kid.  Nice kid.  Will miss him, despite his at times maddening plays.

Not really, just picked it up from one of the TV broadcasters.  But when Reinhartd came out the final time and huged Wojo I read into that the great respect he has for Wojo.  Just my observation.

Actually what you say is demonstrably false. 

1st play, he did get beat on a back cut.
2nd play, he forced a TO
3rd play, he was no involved (missed 3)
4th play, M2N failed to get back on D.
5th play, Hauser failed to get around on a screen.
6th play, JJJ did a good job coming from the weak side to help, when Luke failed to respond right on a slip screen.  Patton scored anyway.

7th play, JJJ defends well, forces Foster to take a bad shot
8th play, JJJ did get beat on a back cut
9th play, not involved  (he misses his dunk)
10th play, break away dunk from Patton (JJJ not involved)

He got beat on 2 back cuts, played really good D on the other plays.  He shut down Foster when he was in.  Part of that was overplaying the deny to stop him from even getting the ball.  That will lead to an occasional beat on a back cut (which is what they drew up at halftime).  Get over your bias, there is nothing here on this one, he played great.
