Playoff Revelations honors playoff players without big names, but who are having a big impact in the postseason.You can make a legitimate case that coming into last night's Jazz/Warriors series opener, Deron Williams was facing more pressure than any other player on the floor. He was going up against a guy who's had the best post-season so far (Baron Davis), and if he doesn't play big in game 1 (and for the rest of the series), Davis will have his way. Unlike Jason Terry and Devin Harris (who crapped the bed in the previous series), it appears that Deron Williams has to come play.
Leading his team to a thrilling game 1 victory, Williams poured in 31 points, handed out 8 assists, and grabbed 5 boards. The stats, however, don't tell the whole story: What was most impressive about Williams's performance was his demeanor. Even when Baron Davis went crazy in the second quarter - scoring 17 points and giving his team the lead going into the second half - Williams never put his head down and he never stopped believing in himself or his team. For a young guy (dealing with foul trouble late in the game), he showed a lot of poise, and the Jazz wouldn't have been able to storm back without it.
I believe that the Deron Williams-Baron Davis matchup is the best one-on-one battle of these Playoffs (yes, even better than the Nash-Parker tilt). It could end up being the determining factor in the series. Last night, Deron Williams was the man.
