this could be a tough one because so many stepped up at important times. Could pick Brook Lopez, Dooling for hitting some really tough shots, Vince for just being vince. Your thoughts...... btw i pick Dooling because he was so money at the end....
Devin Harris would still win the player of the game, though this is a team effort, but his two clutch shots and passes( to dooling 2 treys ) saved our day.
Devin, without a doubt. He got us right back into the game with that big three pointer with less than six seconds left in the fourth, even though personally I thought he took a really bad shot, but it went in and that's what counts. Devin Harris is the Player of the Game for this one.
Dooling. I've always really loved Dooling. I weant to high school with him, he graduated a year after me. He is a real good guy and plays hard all the time. I always wante dhim on this team when it was mentioned we were interested in him every offseason. He would have been awesome behind Kidd 2 and 3 years ago.
some could argue that even though devin shot well at the end, but you could argue he shot the nets out of the game in the 3rd qtr, and his missed foul shots. Thank god he got hot at the end. Harris is averaging 24 pts a game, while Dooling hitting the big shots when vc was down makes me say Dooling is the player of the game... He was real big down the stretch..
How about Lawrence Frank for getting a line up that worked so well against them? He abandoned our dribble/drive / handoff offense and fed Brook down low when he was hot. He made Dooling/Harris, two scoring PG's, work wonderfully together. He gave Anderson and Yi the right amount of burn, and he handled clock management effectively.
Frank has to improve this team in Perimeter D and don't let down the lead easily, it's the only way to let me think he is a good coach.
