Say hey, Jae! At 22:48 of playing time without a point, Jae Crowder wins our not-so-prestigious Goose Egg award. He added seven rebounds and two steals so at least he wasn’t just standing around out there.

Clean and Sober Award (most minutes without taking a shot)

Some would argue it’s better if Andris Biedrins doesn’t shoot, so that’s exactly what he did. Through his 13:14 of play, he took zero shots. His seven rebounds helped but considering he plays for one of the worst teams in the league, they’re going to need more from him.

Iron Man Award (most minutes played)

Color me concerned about playing starters too many minutes, but Klay Thompson played 46:02, with Stephen Curry just behind him at 45:40. I know they’re young and will recover quickly, but they won’t be able to play so many minutes during the postseason at this rate.
