Wizstorm must be out. We need a thread so he can continue to track the results.

I vote Stevenson first. He was 2nd in scoring and had the best shooting percentages on the team. His two backbreaker 3's in the 4th clinched the game. He gets extra credit for playing hurt.

Second place is Jamison. He finally put together a decent scoring game shooting at least 50% from the floor. I like that he recognized that he can't hit a shot from the outside these days so he spent most of his time in the paint.

Third place is Haywood. He was dominant in the first quarter and played real good defense throughout the game. Okafor only scored on him once in the post. All of Okafor's other points were when Haywood had to help out somebody else.

I'm going with Brendan #1 for the career high 5 assists, just to encourage that sort of behavior.

Desteve.

Jamison.

Sentimental vote for DSong for not sucking. For the second game in a row. Let's hope he's got his stuff together finally.

Jamison.

DeShawn

I only saw the 4th quarter, and since Dsteve had some huge baskets then ill go with him.

And I wanna give haywood and blatche credit for both hustling for the rebound at the end. nice. i was afraid they would turn it over or something.

Where is Mikki Moore on that list?! The Wizards don't win this game if Gerrald Wallace played.

And the Bobcats dont win if Arenas and Butler play. Whats your point?

Anyway, I think this one should go to Stevenson. Nice game, and he's proving that he is definitely worth his contract extension.

Desteve.

Jamison.

(1) Magic WoodShaq Johnson for the same reason, + the put back dunk and the left handed finish.

(2) Deshawn Stevenson: 20 pts (FG:6/11 3P:4/7 FT:4/4), 3 ast 1 stl, 36 min - For playing on one wheel and nailing the 3's to cap it.

(3) Antawn Jamison: 22 pts (FG:10/20 FT:2/2), 9 reb, 5 ast, 2 stl, 33 min
For posting up more and giving us 5 assists ( matching his season high )

-----------------------------------
Honeralbe mentions to the rest.

Andray Blatche: 13 pts (FG:6/10 FT:1/2) 8 reb, 2 ast, 1 stl, 2 blk, 31 min
Looking like Bobby D down the lane with that floater.

Antonio Daniels: 10 pts (FG:3/7 FT:4/5) 1 reb, 3 ast, 1 stl, 32 min
Crash dummy just keeps ticking.

Darius Songaila: 8 pts (FG:4/7) 3 reb, 2 ast, 1 blk, 17 min
2 games in a row

Brendan's game is growing by leaps and bounds this season.

Five assists for his career high, playing with passion on the one hand dunk when he's not a usually a quick leaper, finishing with the left, fighting for a rebound, and for a couple months now shooting 80% free throws.

-Wood for POTG.

-Jamison second for a season high 5 assists.

-ThreeShawn Stevenson third for swagger threes at the end.

Agreed on the rankings.
