Here are your nominees from tonight's win against the Sacramento Kings....

Dominic McGuire - 5pts (2-6) / 8rebs / 9asts / 3blks / 1stl / 39mins / -5

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.

It would be nice if one of these Blatche learned how to stop picking up stupid fouls so that he could play more consistently.

1-DMAC 5pts (2-6) / 8rebs / 9asts / 3blks / 1stl / 39mins

DMazing was the engine that made this thing go. 9 assists ? The guy is playing PG better then anyone else on the team. 8 rebounds.... 3 blocks.... That is an awesome line. If he would put a 12 next to the pts, those are amazing stats. Kid needs to add a 3 ball, and I think he will. CB jr with hops


2 - Blatche - 16pts (8-12) / 6rebs / 1ast / 3blks / 34mins / +11

Simply efficient. He got some rebounds which is really important for him to do. The shot from outside is really coming along nicely. I like it when he just goes up. Nice to see some of those blocks return. But with the blocks game the fools. Not so much a problem if we have depth. If he could only jump a little better he would have an even higher level he could reach.


3 - Twain - 30pts (8-21) / 9rebs / 3ast / 2stls / 41mins

Nice line. He fought hard all night. Nice to see him a SF. Loved the "T"


Honorable mentions

Nick Young - 12pts (5-10) / 1reb / 2asts / 24mins / +6

This is the missing piece for this team. Reliable efficient numbers from Nick of the bench. Did you see the 2 back to back catch and pops from the top of the key. Exactly what I have been waiting for. I'll take another rebound on that line so he has 2 and 2 and say give me that every night. Tapps seems to be getting throw to him finally.


Dixon - 18min 3-5FG 2-43Ball 1-1FT 1RB 2asst 2steals 9 pts +7

Nice game from Dixon.

Oh, and that opening play DSong to DMAC was awesome.
