The Rules

Here's the deal - after each win, we'll have a player of the game thread. You post the top 3 performers (1st place, 2nd place and 3rd place). The top-3 vote-getters will receive points...

1st place = 3pts
2nd place = 2pts
3rd place = 1pt

At the end of the season, I'll tally up the point totals and put it into a thread. We should have a good idea of who was the most valuable player, at least according to Wizards fans.

The poll winner is for posterity only. It has no affect on the recorded winner. If you want your vote to count, post the top-3 performers.

#3 is the only spot really up for consideration IMO, because the secondary scoring we got tonight was absolutely phenomenal. But...

1) AJ (Need I say anything?)
2) Dmac (Great overall statline again and the defense was amazing. Hit open shots with a jumper that's really coming along
3) Darius (made really smart decisions and was active all night, 6-6 from the field)

Yes We Can!

McGuire needs to be among the poll choices.

1. AJ
2. Dominic
3. Tie for third between Blatche and Songaila. AB finished well and Darius started on fire.

Ditto.

how is dmac not in the list pine?

My bad zero...trying to do the thread real quickly. Let me edit this.

Fixed now.

1. Jamison - Yet another 20+/10+ game from Mr. Consistent.
2. McGuire - Stat-stuffer of a game
3. Butler - Nothing incredible but good for 3rd-best.

I'm gonna go

Remember when the whole board was drooling over DMAC in his first summer league? I'm feeling like that again. He's for real guys.

All your rebounds are belong to us.

Gentleman Jamison with an actual honest to goodness dunk to honor the cmdr in chief.
Dmac the dominator guarding 4 positions.
Darius Songaila with silly efficiency.

I'd give Obama the nod, but he was pulling for the other team, so, no. Still very cool to see him there.

MacMan eatin up orange pellets like PacMan

sorry that was corny...dom is my dude tho...

''I'm speechless right now, honestly,'' Bulls guard Ben Gordon said. ''To come in here and lose to the Wizards by 23 points -- it's just inexcusable.

''We didn't do anything well tonight. We just didn't show up.''

1. DMAC - great all around game
2. AJ - his best dunk since coming to DC
3. AB - Blatche was horrible in the first half, but once DS picked up his 4th foul early in the 2nd half, we rode AB on both ends of the court pretty much the rest of the way.

Honorable mention - DS. Had a great first half and the numbers look great but after picking up a couple of quick fouls, he never was a factor again.
