Who do you feel had the Best Individual Performance In A Game? 

 

The results will be compiled & announced on Sunday.

Dwight Howard vs. OKC Sooners

In the scheme of things, it might not be a big deal since it was against a pretty cruddy team, but Dwight’s triple double on Nov 12 was pretty darn impressive:
30 pts, 19 rbds, 10 blocks

Jameer Nelson vs. Los Angeles Lakers, January 16th, 2009

28 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists (15, 2, and 3 in the fourth quarter)

Dwight’s big game against the Thunder was impressive, to say the least… but that’s a JV team playing without a center. Jameer pretty much single-handedly defeated the West’s best team.

I second Jameer

vs Lakers. The numbers are good….but it was possibly the biggest game of the first half of the season. Jameer stepped up big time with some clutch 3’s in the fourth.

Agreed

The win was big, and it was Jameer’s performance that brought it home. Just huge shots down the stretch.

Best i've watched?

I’m in Australia where it appears the only games we get televised here are Lakers and Cavs, so the games i have watched in full (maybe 5? due to them being LIVE between 2 and 4pm my time….during my office hours).

Anyway, obviously i can’t watch many games, but i did catch the Magic-Blazers…
I was at my desk, watching on my laptop, earphones in ears, trying my best to pretend to work….Hedo hits ‘That Shot’ and it takes every fibre in my body to stop me from leaping out of my chair and screaming in delight…..

I have never, EVER felt such a rush from an NBA basket in my life…which is why MAGIC v Blazers gets my vote.

Dwights Triple Double FTW

30/19/10 has to take the cake. Honarable mention to Nelson for his latest Laker heriocs (he has owned them this year) and Gortat’s performance in Utah.

Jameer

and the Laker game. We wouldn’t have won it without him.

Jameer against the Lakers

Its close tho. Dwight’s triple douple, Dwight’s 39 against OKC, and Battie’s 9-9 performance against the 6ers were all fantastic. But that Laker game went back and forth and Jameer just played better than everyone else.

Dwight's trip-dub is so tough to pass over, BUT ..

.. Jameer was a man possessed in the Lakers game. His performance in that contest may very well have sealed him a reserve spot in the All-Star Game (or it may not, we’ll see soon enough).

Its Dwight, but not the triple double

I dont think that was the best Dwight performance of the year, I really like the game at SA, Duncan was intimated and worked over by the end of the game, plus D12 got up for the game so he really saw his intensity skyrocket, he had it all going. The OKC game he was just playing around with them (one small guy from OKC I think was half the blocks). I’d go Jameer’s game against LA second, and third, the combined fourth quarters of Lakers I and II, at Portland, and Miami, for the shooting guards staying with it and finally wearing down the respective two’s to close the games

I was gonna say Dwight's triple-double . .

. . . but after reading some of the posts here I’m gonna go with Jameer’s big game in LA. Money in the 4th quarter, under tremendous pressure = AWESOME.

Jameer in LA

If you're not having fun, stop participating.

by redandblue on Jan 21, 2009 9:46 PM EST reply actions  

As some guy said...

Ten blocks is ten blocks. And if you can discount that performance for being against Oklahoma, you can just as easily “discount” Nelson’s performance for being against the mummified corpse of Derek Fisher, drastically overworked by the injury to Farmar and the Lakers’ failure to locate a third point guard. Not that Nelson wasn’t heroic in that game, but if the Magic HADN’T gone to him in the fourth quarter against a rapidly flagging Fisher… well, I don’t believe SVG makes those kinds of mistakes.
