Wall for being King Clutch and either scoring or assisting on the 3 big baskets with around a minute left that got us the lead.

Blatche close behind. I don't know what got into him but his offense has been great and his free throws helped seal the deal.

After hating on him a lot, I have to remind myself that John Wall is (just) 20 years old.

Can you imagine his game in 3-5 years?

Anyone who saw the game would vote for Wall. Blatche and Evans both had strong games, but Wall took that game over in the fourth quarter. Without him the Pistons would have won easily. The rookie was so clutch. It was beautiful to watch.

Way to rub it in...

Isnt there some rule about gloating on another team's message board? Or is that just with losses?

Well, in fairness, we took Mike Pence off their hands. Taking back Mahinmi is the least they can do.

You have to remember, he's had to watch a team led by Jose Calderon all year. This really is the highlight of the season for a Raps fan... just be glad we have Wall and let them giggle in the corner with their adorable Canadian accents.

Yeah but kicking us when we are down is LOW... he must be a French Canadian.

I suppose the obvious choice has to be Wall but he came
this close to being the goat after going 1-2 on that last
trip to the FT line. Yeah I know I'm not being fair after
he went 14-16 for the game which is awesome.

How about McGee's +/- though? Mgmt called Wall a game
changer when we drafted him and I think that's true.
But lately McGee has been the biggest game changer
which reflects both how well he's played and how
much Seraphin has struggled.
A lot of what we call 'thought' is just mental activity
