Ditto

This is the correct answer. Except its a coin toss on if its AJ, CB or CB, AJ.

No vote for whatever Bucks player it was that spilled that lady's beer on the other lady?

[malan331]

wood, all the way. those blocks were sensational. w/o fouling

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

malan, the 23 mins he played sort of took away from Haywood's stats, otherwise I'd agree. Jamison played longer and was extremely effective also.

[nate33]

I gotta go with Jamison here. He scored at will, making the Bucks' defense look silly. It looked like warm ups for him out there.

Haywood gets second place. He was dominant in the 3rd quarter when he swatted just about every shot. His blocked shot on that fast break was a backbreaker. Milwaukee just threw in the towel after that.

Butler was third - though I loved his game too.

Basically, there wasn't any real difference between our top three. All played very well and all played better than Milwaukee's best player.

Mr Double-Double.

[miller31time]

Toss-up between Jamison and Haywood. I'll go with Antawn, since he was damn near unstoppable in the post and from the perimeter. Impossible to contain him when his jumper is falling.

[BigA]

Very solid defense over the course of the game, and Haywood was the key to that.
