Playoffs: Day 3

A snapshot of each PG in each game of the 2008 NBA Playoffs

WAS @ CLE (GAME 2)
Antonio Daniels (WAS) – Once again, split a game with Arenas… Unlike the ’06 series, has failed to make an impact… Just eight points in two games, including four in Game 2.
Gilbert Arenas (WAS) – Looked like “Played-just-a-dozen-games-since-November Gilbert” tonight… Shot just 2-10… think he regrets pre-series comments? ... Friendly confines of home may do the trick… Will he crack that starting lineup?
Roger Mason (WAS) – Made the most of gar-bagh time… 10 points in 22 minutes… Played mostly at the two.
Delonte West (CLE) – Way down on Game 1 production – turns out, Cavs didn’t need a big one from him… As always, takes a huge amount of ball-handling responsibility from LBJ… Shot just 1-5 FG in 23 minutes.
Daniel Gibson (CLE) – 13 points in 29 minutes… think Cleveland didn’t miss him down the stretch of the regular season?

UTH @ HOU (GAME 2)
Deron Williams (UTH) – Really won’t be challenged this series, Alston or no-Alston… 22 points on 8-15 FG… found time to block two shots… Not get too far ahead, but you think Kobe might guard him the second round? … Scary part for Houston is, this guy is a killer at home.
Ronnie Price (UTH) – Eight points in eight minutes off the bench in a six-point decision? You’ll certainly take it… If you’re counting at home, that’s 13 points in 11 minutes this series.
Bobby Jackson (HOU) – Played a lot better than Game 1… Still shot poorly (7-17 FG), but that Sacramento Bobby Jackson was there… Tough ask to play starters minutes against a good team when he’s been a bench guy for going-on eight years.
Aaron Brooks (HOU) – Like Jackson, redeemed himself after a poor series opener… 11 points in 18 minutes on 5-9 FG… Unfortunately, didn’t translate to a win… how will he handle the tough confines of Utah?
