 Michael Wilbon - Silence Is Golden
Not everybody on the Wizards is a talker. Caron Butler is a doer. Antawn Jamison, even on a bad shooting night, is a doer.

I'm just going out there and playing ball. It's all on the court now." Which, oddly, wasn't that much different from what doer-not-sayer Antawn Jamison was saying .
