Definitely gotta do a write in for the obligatory EJ 4th quarter collapse.

i think the dallas fan in the stand deserves dome credit

[hands11]

AJ - 13 for 20. 14 rebounds 32 pts. 18 pts in the 3rd and a half time speak. AJ hands down
NY - Amazing spark off the bench as we made the run to turn it around. 9-14 21 pts +15
Gil - after Flip called him out for the transition quick 3 ball he locked down on the assist. 14 total

Honorable mention. Eddie.

What an amazing turnaround to go from what was it 18 down at the half to up by 7.

Phili was 61% FG and ended up at 48%. AJ and Flip got them to increase their energy and up the D. Nice road win without Haywood who is our only center. We really need a better back up center. Berto is a nice 11th or 12th players as a 3rd PF/C but he just isn't good enough to be a full time back up center. Why McGee isn't getting that burn is sad. If he is all we have, then lets use him so he can get better. He isn't a rookie anymore. Come on Flip. Give him some burn. On team that lacks energy, McGee is a decent solution. If nothing else the kid is all energy. At least he got 5 minutes tonight. Hopefully he continues to get 5-10 a night.

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

Wizards against EJ: 3-0
Wiz against others: 8-21

I'd say playing EJ's team had something to do with the win.

[closg00]

No EJ, no win.

Supported Gil

I think this game proved that EJ is more **** than the Wizards.

So Wizardsesque to blow that stupid 18 point lead.
