Mike James Made the Shots, Javaris Crittenton Made the Plays

by Jake Whitacre on Feb 17, 2009 9:40 PM EST in Recaps

I was originially planning on this being a "Start Crittenton!" post, but Mike James came through with some big shots at the end of the game to seal the Wizards' 12th win of the season, so I'll cut him some slack for tonight. There will be time to fire up the James/Crittenton debate in the coming days, but let's take this time to celebrate a rare win.

I was glad

to see Tap leave Crittenton and Blatche out there at the end. Also, NY needs to get to the line more. It’s the difference between going 0-5 with one point and 0-5 with seven points. I think even more than his defense, that’s what Young needs to do to reach the next level.

Hopefully Crittenton can be a playmaker like this on a regular basis

with Nick Young, Gil, a healthy D Steve, or Songaila hitting the open jumpers he creates. He technically only had 4 assists, but the offense ran so much smoother when he was in, and he seems to be the only player really capable of creating for his team mates. I love Jamison and Butler, but neither is really a drive-and-dish type.

I have really enjoyed watching Crit play lately. Very aggressive. Still a little out of control, but just a little. He’s got to work on his shooting over the summer. He could be a good player, I can see why EG got him.
