<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Caron Butler's value to the Wizards was never more apparent than Monday night, when a stomach ailment forced the swingman to the locker room just five minutes into the second half. Butler, who went scoreless in 25 minutes, obviously was not himself. It was the first time this season that Butler failed to score a point. Without Butler, who is Washington's third-leading scorer at 16.4 points per game, the Grizzlies were able to overcome big nights by Gilbert Arenas (37 points) and Antawn Jamison (season-high 35 points) and come away with a 108-98 victory. No other Wizard reached double figures and down the stretch, when the Wizards needed to string together a handful of stops, Butler's defense was sorely missed as well. Butler, who said the sore stomach was caused by food he ate late Sunday, was back in the lineup last night. Entering last night's game, the Wizards were 20-12 with Butler as a starter. "I tried to go but it just got worse as the game went on," Butler said. "I'm feeling a lot better after getting a couple days to rest."</div> Source
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Bmore410:</div><div class="quote_post">Butler is scoring 17.2 ppg 1.62 spg and 6 rpg Wizards got the better of the kwame brown trade</div> Not really from the Lakers' point of view. Without Kwame, we would be last in the league in interior defense. We wouldn't have resigned Butler at the end of the year anyway, so it didnt' matter
