No one was spectacular but I'll go with Roger Mason. He made a lot of big shots in the 2nd half to carve into the Bulls lead.

AD
RM
AB/Songaila
WoodShaq/AJ

I'll go with Bulletproof. I don't believe in +/- stats.

Blatche!

Team win, therefore: Coaching staff.

i'm going to have to go with Blatche. didn't see any of the game, but statistically, it looks like it's blatche

AD

roger mason. the team was flat out cold until he got in the game.

I only caught the last 3 minutes of the 4th quarter (my DVR wasn

Songaila for not sucking.

roger mason carried the third, Blatche carried the fourth. Haywood defended well and anchored the D during our run.

Man espn is showing Pecherov getting dunked on. OMG he dunked on stewie, stewie what are you doing get out of the way!

and the word of advice is dont stand in the tracks of a train or something

AJ - 15 boards.

AB, he came up big in the fourth, had some clutch putbacks off misses. He rebounded well and didn't force anything.

7 for 13 from the field, 17 points, 10 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 blocks.

Ugh, i can't believe I'm doing this, but Songaila... again! He had a CRUCIAL block at one point of the game and made some key plays, including hustling to get his hand on the ball that AD lobbed lazily to him, so it popped free and ended up in Jamison's hands. And he made some jumpers! Yay!

Blatche for the nice boxscore

I am torn between AJ/Blatche and Songaila. And i can completely understand people who'd go for some other guy from the team, because it simply was a team effort.

However, agreeing with lyrical in this thread, my first place vote goes to Songaila - I guess it is because my expectations are lower for him than they were at the start of the season - nevertheless a nice performance - some good hustle and nice shooting.

2nd place for AB - I felt he was one of the biggest keys to success for us in the 4th quarter.

3rd place - AJ - a bad shooting night, but he had 15 boards to go along with his 17 points - just another night at the office for our vet.

1. mason - the team desperately needed a scoring boost to start the second half and that's exactly what he provided.

2. blatche - when he's playing confident and with energy this is really a different team. he was making things happen in a variety of ways, and he's one of the few guys on the team who has the ability to do that.

3. AD - except for missing too many FTs that was the perfect AD game. he was a stabilizing force and wasn't a hindrance in the scoring department.

What he said ^

After watching the game, I'm going with Roger Mason Jr. The man simply led the Washington Revival with clutch shot after clutch shot. We'd have never been in a position to win the game had RMJ not gotten us close (and eventually take the lead).

1. Mason Jr.
2. Daniels
3. Haywood

HM: Songaila
