haha. that's kind of funny because I was definetly going to give it to mason, but Songaila was my second. I mean come on, the guy was 1 rebound and 4 assists away from a triple double. well, the 4 assits is kinda alot. but you know what I mean. Anyway, Mason gets my vote.

Ma$on Jr. for sure, and then the entire bench. It's very comforting seeing them drop 70 right before the playoffs start

A credit to the front office, the coaches, and the guys themselves that the Wizards are now deep enough to beat an NBA team fighting for a playoff spot with 2 games left without Arenas and Butler, and with Stevenson playing very limited minutes.

With only picks outside the lottery and the MLE to work with, they've built a group that constitutes very respectable depth in Daniels-Songaila-Mason-Blatche-Young-McGuire.

1 -Roger Mason: 37 mins 31 points (FG:10/16, 3P:7/9, FT:4/4), 4 assists,
6 rebounds,

2-Andray Blatche: 27 mins 11 points (FG:4/9, FT:3/5), 11 rebounds,
1 assist, 1 block & brutal calls against him from the refs

3- Dominic McGuire: 30 mins, 9 points (FG:3/5, FT:3/7), 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal

Honorable mentions. DSong and NY

I'm going with a line up of our bench players since they pulled it off for us allowing us to rest other players. This game was all about the rebounds and the 3 ball and these are the ones that did the most.

58 to 31 rebounding adv.

Mason was on fire. He can be our Kerr. Every championship team needs a spot of 3 dagger thrower off the bench.




I have a request. If it's not to much more work, could you please add the mins to the stats when you post page 1. Thanks in adv.

True.

Honorable mentions #2, 3 and 4

2- GA for being so driven he didn't listen the the doctors and over worked his first rehab so he re injured himself and didn't play so this team has room to get these players playing time all year.

3-EJ for playing GA 40 mins a night right of and summer of GA overworking himself, see line 2

4-EG for stacking this team up with solid young talent so that we aren't only good now, but we have options for the future.

What really impressed me was that they actually ran the offense, and made very little mistakes.

Roger "God I hope we re-sign him" Mason
