Eddie Jordan coached one HELL of a game.
Rebounding was clearly the gameplan and it worked to perfection. Somehow, EJ managed to have Haywood there to come up big at just the right time, and also have Blatche, Young, Songaila, and Mason ALL contribute.
As for POTG, tough between DeShawn and Jamison but I'll go Jamison for the rebounds.
Honorable mention goes to Paul Pierce. The second he pissed off Butler I got happy. It turned the whole game around and Boston ended up being the team to get punked.

i said during the game "i don't care who has what stats for either team. as long as we have more points than they do in the end."
but since i feel like i have to vote, i'll go with DeShawn. he hit our 1 3 pointer until Daniels hit a clutch one in the 4th, hit all of his FT's, and got a steal which lead to the DAGGER!
everyone played hard. Even though TJ and AJ had poor shooting nights, we just gave more effort late in the game going on a 15-4 run in the 4th quarter.

For me it is a three-way tie between Randy Ayers, Dave Hopla and Eddie Jordan.
EJ coached a great game, Dave Hopla has had an amazing effect on our team...look at the free throw shooting...it was the second game in as many nights we won largely thanks to free throws. And Randy Ayers, well wow - last year a lot of us believed (or at least expressed belief in their comments) that this team can't defend at all. Look at us. We are actually playing defense. Still unbeaten at home when we keep opponents to less than 90.
But players
1 - Deshawn Stevenson - Great, great game from him again. And as WizStorm correctly pointed out - mega clutch.
2 - Antonio Daniels - Simply put - the biggest shot of the night.
3 - Antawn Jamison - Well, he might have had a bad shooting night, but to follow up 17 rebounds with 16 the following night is nothing short of spectacular. I love his hustle.
The combo of Blatche/Haywood also played well and while Blatche was performing well it might have been a blessing in disguise with him getting that minor injury because when Haywood came in he played very good defense. Butler also made some key baskets. Nick Young provided a nice spark in limited minutes.
In conclusion. Very good win - a team win.

this really was one of the best games I've seen EJ coach in a long time. there was a time towards the end when i think he should have gotten wood out a little sooner, but other than that, it was a great game on EJ's part.
Butler seems to like to do that to people. he just can go off and absolutely destroy anyone in the league at any given point. he lives to prove a point.

that steal, although an absolutely amazing play by Daniels, was mostly a mistake by Boston. they had a 3 on 1 and could've scored easily without a pass at all, but they decided to try and get a SC type play, and it backfired.
AD gets my 2nd place vote, if we could push a button for 2nd place.

Definitely a mistake by Boston, but AD had great position, and it is representative of his never give up attitude that I love so much.

Both of them looked like they were thinking "We got this".
They work well together.
This may be the lynch-pin for the success the team has had this year. Finally having someone other than a "cronie who depends on you for his meal ticket" type of assistant next to him on the sidelines has helped EJ immensely.

Wait, when did Butler go off on Pierce?

Agreed. Good cop bad cop chemistry, steel fist velvet glove. But all of the coaching staff seems to have the same good chemistry. All are standing up and around the huddle in timeouts, talking with players. And better still, laughing and joking with each other. There seems to be a bit of swagger on the bench with the coaching staff sharing expertise and ideas, making it work. And no big ticket ego too self-important top listen to advice and alter.
When there's no clear player and a team effort team win (and good scheme to attack the ball handlers with Rondo out the game) the right vote is a write-in: coaching staff.
