Go Wizards!

For perhaps the first time ever....I don't have a f*cking clue!!

I say Beal. He was money and had 7 dimes.

20 rebounds from Hump is nice though. Cant remember the last time a Wizard did that.

Tough one. I'll take Gortat. He was utterly dominant on the P'n'R and at the rim. Jordan Hill did not stand a chance.

To many outstanding players this game..

Voted Other... TEAM.. All the Above

I would say the rebound machine...

Wall dominated his position and controlled the game.

Rare agreement with hands. I vote Other: TEAM win on this one. 15 dimes by John, 20 boards by Hump, 27/7 by Brad on quietly efficient shooting adding in a pretty drive or two, and the Polish Hammer racking a dubdub. Key defense by Pierce on Kobe when Mamba was tearing Beal a new one. Even Wittman for making that switch and allowing the starters just enough rest to come back and re-claim the advantage when the bench was leaking it all away.

I gave it to Gortat. But, really, you could give it to Butler if you wanted. He played 24 minutes, and absolutely everything he did was great -- on both ends of the court.

But of course Beal and Humphries also had terrific games. So, yeah -- really it should be TEAM!!

Wall.

He hit big shots towards end of game. Played unbelievable D on Kobe after Pierce got injured and his passing was truely amazing tonight.

Also I think this was the first time in Walls career he's heard MVP chants!

Actually not a rare as you might want to admit but hey, its a great win so its a good op to heal some bridges and move forward.

This is a new day. A new team. And lots more wins are ahead of us.

Hopefully we get a highlight real video of that close.

That was AWESOME.

The Booth went nuts. Thats how you get fans to come to the next game and make some noise.

I some how feel like that close washed away a lot of hurt for many years for the BOOTH.

LOL

Its all good today. Back to back awesome games to watch. 12-5 We have waited a long time for this.

Tough call. Gotta give it to Beal. Silky smooth tonight.

Giving this one to John. He constantly pushed tempo and controlled the game. I know he wins a lot of these but he deserves to win a lot of these.

But yeah, everyone played great.

Agree. I can't even narrow it down to a top-3. Great win. Even the sucky bench had Butler and some of the others had a decent play or two.

Gave it to Beal, but the other guys were definitely worthy.

I don't think I have seen many 6 point performances as dominant as Humphries on the boards.

Our starters absolutely killed it. Each one. I voted Beal because of how aggressive he was, but Gortat, Wall, and Humphries all killed it too.

Pierce was a bad night from behind the three point line from pouring it on too. He was very aggressive and did a great job on the offensive glass.

Butler had a nice night too. Looks like the starters are finding their rhythm sans Nene. Glad it didn't take too long.
