definitely Wood. The guy was unstopable down low. Overall a great win.

haywood

Brendan Haywood wins this one, no doubt about it.

1. Haywood -- career high in points, 10 rebounds, solid defense, etc

2. Butler -- He was inconsistent scoring (did his damage in the 1st and 3rd quarters, mainly), but contributed, as always, in many other ways.

3. Songaila -- Man, he was just "on" tonight. Excellent and accurate shooting. Active defense and rebounding. Ran the offense to perfection. Great game by DS2.

25-10 Nice job Haywood. Feed the big dog.

How could it be anyone but the big Wood?

Wood, but honorable mention to Darius.

As mentioned, the offense was run to perfection and the team didn't miss a beat with him starting. +26 from the same guy who could do no right for the first 2 or 3 months of this season!

Darius is really stepping up.

Haywood, obviously.

I know this isn't a great Chicago team, but the Bullets won the second of a back-to-back and they won it on the road without Arenas and Jamison. Not bad.

Of course, if they had lost the game, the only proper response would be to fire the coach and then shoot him twice in the head.

If I've learned anything from watching the Redskins it is that firing the coach ALWAYS works.

I gotta go with BTH tonite ...

Damn I missed the game tonight, and my boy Haydizzle dominate the Calfs.

I was worried about this game even when I thought Arenas would play, but we came through again in the third and took care of buisness.

Im also kind of glad we sat Arenas, smart play by the medical staff, take no risk with him, we need him for the playoffs. Back-to-backs won't be a problem in the playoffs so its all good.

Boston rested KG and Allen tonight, so hopefully they will verse us as well, if they don't so what suck it up and get another win.

1 game lead on Philly, and 2 game lead on Toronto.

Guys were only down one and a half games for fourth, Lebron is having back problems, I want that home court. Tonight couldn't have gone any better, TOR, CLEV, and PHI all lost, we won, and the Caps are in the playoffs!

ovechkin for mvp!

I was torn between Caron and Brendan, but I went with Caron. I didn't get to see much of the game, but Caron seemed to have a good game (and his reverse dunk was sick!).

But props to Haywood for the new career high. He shot great and got another double double.
