Just gotta go with Gil here. Blatche probably had the best stat line when efficiency and minutes are factored, but Arenas ran the show. He absolutely controlled the game.

I just don't see any way you can't give it to GIl. I want to see these TNT and ESPN guys give him the props for coming out and having a SUPERSTAR game. He took some stupid shots but the good outweighed the bad for sure.

Self admitted Blatche hater went Andre. Impressed the heck out of me, though I don't have much faith that he'll continue to play as focused and consistent.

How about the simple fact he played 35 minutes? I remember when this kid couldn't step foot on the floor without fouling out.

Gotta give to Gil - I'd do it even if he wasn't the best player on the floor, just for the fact that he's back. But he really was the POG.

Haywood

Butler
Oh, sorry - I got carried away. Never had a chance to go beyond three nominees before.
