I am voting Haywood for 1st, because he set the tone early with both great defense and nice productive offense.

Butler for 2nd

and Jamison gets snubbed for 3rd.

Antawn had a great game, but Caron was the one who made the most crucial plays and literally took the game over in the 4th when Memphis made their run.

1. Caron

2. Antawn

3. Brendan

Mr Under-appreciated. Mr Under-estimated. Mr Double-double.

1. butler for his late play
2. haywood for his early play
3. jamison for his overall play

It's hard to vote against both AJ and Haywood, but after the Griz cut the lead to 6, Tough Juice willed the team to victory with a key bucket and block. He gets my vote.

Woo! Tough. Caron because he basically said "All right you guys, get on my back and let's take it home." But Jamison and Haywood played excellent also.

Going with Butler.

Butler

Caron Jamison

1) caron
2) antawn
3) brendan

for all the reasons covered already

1. Brendan Haywood

2. Antawn Jamsion

3. Caron Butler

Ill give it to Butler, with Haywood as a close second...

...but our man Caron needs to go to the rim more.

THE BIG 3

I couldn't big any one of them over the other. They all equally did impart stuff.
