antawn jamisonnn ftw

kept us in it in the 3rd quarter when we needed it the most.

hon mention to wood for great interior d (once again)

[JWizmentality]

Haywood.

Honorable mention to the dashingly brilliant gamethread starter.

1. AJ - phenomenal all around game at both ends. He lit it up on offense and held Lewis to 7 points. Not bad for the guy I've repeatedly called the worst defensive starting PF in the league on more than one occasion.

2. Wood - just look at Howards box score and that's all you need to know.

3. Butler - still feeling his way back and struggling with the bad wrist, but he hit two clutch shots down the stretch (and got fouled by Howard at the end).

Wood gets that nod for me...

[miller31time]

1. Haywood - you can't overlook Haywood shutting down possibly the best center in the NBA, holding him to a season low in points, making him pick up 5 fouls, making him turn it over more than usual, WHILE getting a double double himself. Dwight has an average game and the Magic win this game, easily.

2. Jamison - Another excellent game from Mr. Consistent. Led us in points (hell, he nearly matched the birthday boy, tonight).

3. Butler - He may not have the numbers, but his 4th quarter play was crucial in our win. He distinctly made 2 shots from the 'long-2' range, and grabbed a few key rebounds as well.

Great team win.

I'll give it up for the Comcast postgame show -- they made Jamison their game MVP. An obvious choice.

31 points
11 rebounds
4 steals
1 block
1 turnover
Outscored his man by 24 points

It's the Captain, of course.

[tkunit]

Oh my Goodness Jamison playing his way to another max deal at 32 or however old he is.

[ZonkertheBrainless]

Jamison.

But Wood... WOW! Holding whatsisname to 3 points????

HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT????

[bulletproof_32]

1/1A. AJ
2/1B. BTH
3. Tough Juice.

I had DS2 slotted at 3 but he got sloppy with the ball in the 4th and CB3 hit that big shot with under a minute to go.

[RickRoll_inDC]

definitely Antawn. not only did he have 31 and 11, but he really came through in the 2nd half when we needed him.

Wood in a close second for shutting down Howard. Hands down, Wood is the best 1 on 1 defensive Center in the NBA.

honorable mention: Caron. he finally is starting to find his stroke with that bad left wrist.

m31t, that's the top three in same order in my book, too.

Gotta look up Howard's home v away splits just to see how bad a game for him tonight was. Brendan was really strong tonight.

[GilArenas88]

Im a Brendan lover and homer, but beside Wood shutting down Howard on offense, I had to give it to Jamison. He was huge in the second half, and was matching Turkey shot for shot. So I barely give it to Jamison over Big Wood, with Butler coming in with the LeBronze.

[Spence]

Let's face it -- without Jamison tonight, the Bullets would have been the Miami Heat. Offensively, at least. Nobody could do much scoring tonight apart from Jamison and Turkoglu.

[Wizards2Lottery]

1. Haywood for the god like defensive performance
2. Butler for the huge last minute shots
3. AJ for a pretty good game.

[Donkey McDonkerton]

AJ, FO REAALLLLZZ

Puff, puff pass man common...

[Tough*Juice]

Antawn Jamison.

Extreme tandem: while exploring other team threads, I must say I love the quality of posters in the Wizards section. A lot of the mods in other sections are dim-witted retards compared to regular posters here.

[TheKingOfVa360]

Wood is the player of the game for his defense on Howard.
