CP3 was bananas last week.

Even though the Wizards sit at the bottom of the standings, Antawn Jamison remains a consistent performer.  Jamison had four consecutive double doubles in his last four games: 25pts/12reb, 25pts/15reb, 21pts/12reb and 27pts/13 rebounds.

Charlie Villanueva of the Milwaukee Bucks didn’t suck

With Michael Redd going down with a season ending torn MCL/ACL injury, Charlie V has scored some buckets.

The San Antonio Spurs didn’t suck

We’re a little tired of putting the Boston Celtics on this list, so we’re gonna look at the West this week. The Spurs have gone 3-0 knocking off the Utah Jazz, the Phoenix Suns and the New Orleans Hornets.They beat the Jazz and Suns on the road building on their impressive 14-7 road record. Tony Parker was named to the all-star team last week and was also named the Player of the Week.
