The Wizboard...for sticking with this shiznit. We are all hung over and deserve a pat on our backs.

[AWIZZINGBULLET]

Singleton was big too...

[pineappleheadindc]

Sorry guys, gotta vote again. AWIZZINGBULLET and I think alike. I was putting Chris Singleton into the mix as he wrote his post, above.

Gotta revote!

Jonas did us many favors

[GhostsOfGil]

We have a 100% win percentage with Gooden. Just sayin..

[nate33]

It should be just Wall or Gortat. Nobody else belongs in the conversation.

I'm gonna go with Gortat only because he played so much above his baseline.

Wall was awesome too, but he's been so solid lately that I'm pretty much expecting it. Wall has really improved his shot selection since the All Star break.

[pineappleheadindc]

Wall 2 Gortat was a thing of beauty tonight.

I can't remember how many pick and rolls there were. But they were pretty and they are abundant.

[miller31time]

The politically correct answer: co-POTG to Wall and Gortat. Both had monster games. Both had key defensive stops. Each relied on the other most of the night.

But if I HAD to choose, I'd take Gortat for a more complete game. He had about 40 of 50 and-1 plays that kept us in the game. Hats off, sir.

[fishercob]

Jonas did us many favors

yeah, that guy's not so awesome, eh?

[GhostsOfGil]

Wall-tat for POTG but HM to Andre Miller. I remember people posting things like: "Andre Miller may give us 1 or 2 more wins for the year"

Well as much as the meaning behind that statement is downplayed, this is one of those games. He kept it close when the bench usually kills us.

[Sluggerface]

Wall blocked Lowry's layup attempt at the end of regulation. He picked Vasquez's pocket at the end of the first OT and scored the go-ahead layup to send the game to 2OT. At the end of the third OT he picked Vasquez pocket on back to back possessions and calmly ran the break for scores to give us the go ahead win.

I'm going Wall.

I'm also rethinking about letting Gortat walk.

[queridiculo]

Miller and Singleton were huge in the second quarter, both deserve some kudos.

Wall was amazing, but to me the potg has to be Gortat.

Clutch buckets and blocks, and on top of that he overcame his poor free-throw shooting with some clutch hits down the stretch.

[long suffrin' boulez fan]

Jonas did us many favors

yeah, that guy's not so awesome, eh?

I'd go even further and call him a hoser, eh?

[CntOutSmrtCrazy]

So blown I had to be at school tonight and missed us winning it triple OT, on the road, against the RAPTORS! Based off the stats it looks pretty close between Wall and Gortat. Regardless, both have been playing stellar ball since the break. Sixth straight dub-dub by Gortat.

[Matty]

John Wall hands down.

The block on Lowry going for the game winner in the 1st OT, plus the 2 steals late in the 3rd OT done us. Not to mention the countless PnRs he executed to near perfection.

[Error Afflalo]

Wall because he made three great defensive plays down the stretch. Gortat was clutch, too.
