I'm going to have to think about this one. I'm tempted to give it to Dray for having a good game and not being around at the end. That makes him look good by default.

Pending further review......

wall had a terrible game imo. outside those 2 jumpers in the 4th, his shot selection was poor, and he had a hell of a time finishing at the rim.

1 ny
2 shard
3 blatche

but in all seriousness no one deserves a potg. this was a pathetic win and the fact that we almost lost to the worst team in the league...at home... in a near double ot game, speaks volumes about how far this team has to go

I voted Young. Wall, Thornton and martin did everything in their power to lose us the game at the end of regulation. :/ AB did have a good game, hope he isn't out too long.

Nick Young for scoring the points. He almost lost it for bearing his taco meat after the game, but I'll forgive him.

This one is easy so Ill talk about something else. NY was making a good solid case to be the 6th man of the year. Ofcourse that wont happen now but I think he may be making an even bigger case to be the MIP

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I am prophetic. 1/11/11 and Nick Young goes for 43.

I was stuck at work all night and came home to see Nick Young with 43 points. Ridiculous. Gonna have to watch this one over......

I would advise drinking heavily before the second half. Even though you know the outcome it is going to be very tough to watch.

1. Young. In a landslide. Not only did he score 43, but at least he didn't allow his counterpart to light him up. Udrih and Jeter abused Wall. Garcia destoyed Al Thornton and Rashard Lewis. But Nick held Head and Casspi to a combined 7-22 (and some of Casspi's points came off of Lewis and Thornton).

2. McGee for turning the tables on Cousins and getting under HIS skin. Cousins went 4-19 with 3 turnovers. Way to step up McGee.

3. Blatche. Good all around game. Didn't force anything and battled on the boards. Flip was struggling with the rotations down the stretch once Blatche got hurt. There aren't any other bigs on the roster who can both defend and hit free throws. Flip was forced to platoon McGee and Al freakin Thornton at center.

Are you kidding? You gotta start drinking after the first quarter. The 2nd quarter was the worst of all.

The second quarter was just a preview. I think he can get through the preview sober.

1) Young: self explanatory
2) Blatche: Thought he played well and played hard. His rebounding was good
3) Lewis: Liking what I've seen out of him thus far. Should have gone to him more in the second half.

Young easy, but I voted Hinrich for the overtime pts.

Hinrich did have some clutch baskets, but he also had a key turnover that gave the Kings a chance.

Funniest POTG thread ever.

1. Young - Seven made threes, 9 FTAs, plus great defense is Kobe-esque.
2. McGee - Cousins had been dominating recently. McGee's defense has come a mighty long way.
3. Lewis - Rebounding at SF and giving the Wizards unselfish play and selfless leadership. Has been professional since being traded to Washington.
