Brandon Roy – Roy had an Easter weekend performance to remember with his amazing 18 fourth-quarter points to lead the Blazers to a comeback win over the Mavs. It was the best Blazer performance I can remember seeing in a longtime and it had such a redemptive feel to it. I’m so happy for Roy and stoked that the series is now tied at 2-2.
• Video of the comeback.
• John Canzano’s take on B-Roy’s performance!
Wesley Matthews – Hit four big threes en route to a team-high 25 points in leading the Blazers to a must-win home game that put Portland on the board 1-2 in the first-round series with Dallas.
Jermaine O’Neal – Shocked everyone with his performance in game one of the Boston versus New York series. O’Neal was a perfect six of six from the field and had four huge blocked shots to lift the Celtics over the Knicks.
Zach Randolph – Z-Bo’s three-pointer with under a minute to play in game 3 lifted the Memphis Grizzlies to a 2-1 advantage over the San Antonio Spurs and it’s being called the biggest shot in Grizzlies’ history.
“Crunch time belongs to Randolph” – ESPN
How awesome is the 59.0 points/rebounds/assists combined average that Dwight Howard has in two playoff games this season? Howard was third in the league with a pts/rebs/ass average of 38.3. LeBron James led the league with a 41.2 and rookie Blake Griffin was second with 38.4.
In 11 postseason games last year, James had the top average of 46.0 and now teammate Dwyane Wade was second with 45.6. James was also the regular season leader in 2009-2010 with a 45.6. Kevin Durant was second with 40.6.
Howard’s 59.0 is after just two games, but I can’t imagine that Atlanta can stop him and that serious could go seven games. So look for Superman to keep those numbers up!
