This was a team win. A tough road game, a statement game against a team that wanted revenge. A team win. So much heart to come back from 14 down midway through the 4th.

Everyone deserves it...this was awesome.

But for all the obvious reasons, for sole statistical purposes.

1- Butler
2- Stevenson
3- Haywood

Butler for the big plays at the end, but as everyone else has mentioned it was a huge team effort. Just like Saturday.

This one is so tough. Deshawn saved us over and over with timely 3's and good D. Haywood turned the ball over a ton, but played great D, and hit all of his free throws. Jamison played some of the best D of his life. AD ran the show with poise. Butler took the brunt of Boston's defensive effort and still came away with solid numbers and a ton of clutch buckets down the stretch.

I gotta go with Butler here just because he was so clutch

2nd place: Stevenson

3rd place: Haywood.

I gotta give it to Caron, just for the clutch-ness. He was playing his heart out the last few minutes. But the whole team did a great job, and the game was good!

Team. IMO, this is the game where everyone figured out their roles and what they can bring to the team game. Yah, we got another clutch player in Tough Juice. But its the team game that got us to the point where Tough Juice did his thing.

Ditto on the love for the whole starting five.

1. Butler - very Gilbertesque down the stretch with the one-on-one drives down the stretch.

2. DS - anyone still wish we had Navarro

3. Haywood (by a hair over AJ) - yes he had the turnovers, but he was the guy who forced the last two misses by Garnett and Allen when Boston had a chance to win it.

Butler.

I'm going DeShawn because he was +19, by far the highest on the team.

DS had 4 steals and made Ray Allen hurt the Celtics. DeShawn's most responsible for the tone of the game; him and Haywood.

Also, Stevenson kept the Wizards in the game early, hitting a lot of big threes.

Caron will win, but I voted Stevenson.

Paul Pierce for talking trash at Caron.

Kind of like C's fans coming in and telling us a sarcastic "good game" after they thought they had the game in the bag before the game was even over.
