Great performances all around so it kinda hard to put one over the other.

EJ with all those 3's... :bowdown:

'nuff said

Gotta go with EJ on this one. I love how Baron was pretty aggressive(who would have thought he was serious in that interview?), but EJ hit some big shots and was on fire after a slow start.

It was a really tough choice for me, but I went with Baron who was anything but Barren tonight. 1 rebound shy of a triple double, 4 of 6 from 3 and 4 steals. That's what I've been wanting to see out of Baron all season long so I have to give him his due when he finally comes through. His intensity and assertiveness does look like it is starting to pick up. Will it last for the rest of the season? I'm not going to hold my breath nor get my hopes up, but it is good to see that he does still have it in him.

Gordon with his 30th straight double digit scoring effort has been phenomenal this season. He started the night off 1 for 8 with a ton of turnovers, but he didn't lose his composure and he totally turned it around as the game progressed. Who starts a game 1 for 8 and finishes shooting over .500? That's crazy. 6 for 7 from deep. He was ridiculous. It was really hard for me to not give him the nod, but he definitely was vital to tonight's win.

I'm going with Baron. He had a great stat line and almost had a triple double, he needs to keep this up.

Okay, I admit my bias to start off with.
And all of these nominated guys were great, and every one of them played a crucial part in the win. I've detailed this in the game thread for every one of them.
The choice here has to be a highly personal one, because there isn't an obvious one.
I voted for Camby because I feel that he is so reliable in the crunch, and the way he got the Clippers out of their at-best iffy first quarter without being behind, seemed like a critical turning point to me. And he always seems to serve as a terribly important, and grounding, foundation to the more splashy play of the others, while staying in the background somehow. I admire this so much.

I went Baron. Gordon was the bomb, but Baron made all those 3's happen for him. Boom was the facilitator we need him to be, and the win is his reward for that.

I went with EJ, although it was a close one.

I know I've been doggin Baron for awhile now but last night he played great. Just seeing him take it to the basket was a great sight. Even if he didn't score, it opens up everything else on the floor. That's the way he needs to play every night.
