I honestly thought all 8 guys who played any meaningful minutes did a great job tonight.

Just gotta go with Gil here. Blatche probably had the best stat line when efficiency and minutes are factored, but Arenas ran the show. He absolutely controlled the game.

Arenas
Blatche
Foye

I just don't see any way you can't give it to GIl. I want to see these TNT and ESPN guys give him the props for coming out and having a SUPERSTAR game. He took some stupid shots but the good outweighed the bad for sure.

Thirded...

No question, really... Arenas is truly, truly back from that damn knee BS, contrary to what the General Board was claiming...

He'll light all their teams up... I can't wait... 8-)

The WHOLE TEAM deserved it... WE FINALLY PLAYED SOME FREAKIN DDDDDDDD!!!!

I'm with pretty much everyone else, it's Arenas-Blatche-Foye here.

Self admitted Blatche hater went Andre. Impressed the heck out of me, though I don't have much faith that he'll continue to play as focused and consistent.

How about the simple fact he played 35 minutes? I remember when this kid couldn't step foot on the floor without fouling out.

Gotta give to Gil - I'd do it even if he wasn't the best player on the floor, just for the fact that he's back. But he really was the POG.

Gil
Blatche
Foye
Miller
Haywood
Oberto
Butler

Oh, sorry - I got carried away. Never had a chance to go beyond three nominees before.
