GAME 34 DIRKIE: Winner Maxi (63%) & Runner-up Seth (30%) - Kammrath - 01-02-2020
Who was the "player of the game" that elevated his game to help the team get the win?

Seth and Maxi stepped up

Maxi. Perfect 3&D bigman.

Maxi, Seth, and 4th Quarter Luka are 1A, 1B, and 1C
Maxi got my vote though.

Glad to see Seth do as well as he did (I love Seth when he plays like that, and I like him a great deal even when he doesn't) and that Luka kept his chin up and took over the game at the end. But as I have said, I don't think Luka should get Dirkies without a 40-point TD. In any event, Maxi gets it over Seth - not just because of the great shooting, but especially for not being afraid to get chippy with a chippy Nets team. Great rim protection as well!
In addition to Luka and KP, Maxi, Seth, Wright, and DFS are my guys. Brunson could become part of that crew with a few more games like this.

Lots of contributors! I'll call it a tie between Luka, Seth, Maxi and JJB

Smart coaching. A lot of time he was playing off the ball, which saved his strengths for the final quarter. Also his threes went in at a high percentage.

Hardest Dirkie vote in a long time. Luka so great late. Just wow. Seth in that blistering 3rd quarter. Whoa! But Maxi wasn’t just fabulous. He also was irreplaceable. Every time he sat, the team seemed to fall apart. We miss KP something awful.

But... but... but jOn said he sucks!

Yeah, we obviously miss KP's rim protection

I really want to vote Luka for coming in the 4th and scoring 15 points and assisting on a host of other baskets to put the game out of reach.
But Maxi was unstoppable last night. He literally had 4 straight possessions of straight blocks. That is some lockdown D if I've ever seen it.
It's obvious that we're missing KP a lot. He really does set the foundation for the defense and his ability to stretch the floor opens everything up. And thankfully Maxi stepped into that role perfectly tonight.
