Who do you have?

I might be in the minority here, but I'm goin' Camby. It was those 15 boards that sealed the game for us. He did the little things that gotta get done to win, he chased loose balls, was aggressive on D, and shot a high percentage (60%). I feel that without his hustle, we may not have gotten back on the horse and won this baby. EJ was sincerely impressive with his shooting %, yet still, I think the game ball goes to Camby.

This wasn't an obvious one at all --- IMO it could have gone to any of the guys listed above or a couple of others who really contributed beautifully.
I voted for Randolph as a gesture of good will. It was my first opportunity to actually watch him play as a Clipper. I still haven't determined to my own satisfaction whether or not I think he is a blood diamond on this team, but I want to keep an open mind and a positive attitude and observe for a while. He had a good game; I've never voted for him before, so I did tonight.

I'm goining with Gordon just for the fun of it, he had a good game.

This one is hard to vote on because the starters really just rallied and did everything as a unit. Think I will give it to EG he had some shots that kept momentum high and I feel with more shots he might of had 30 this game.

Gotta go with the rook. His fingerprints were all over this game from his aggressiveness to hoop to his poise down the stretch. Plus, he was lights out when we needed him unlike that other guy with the shaggy beard. :lol:

j/p

props to Zach Attack though for being that 20+/10+ once again & again & again & again... :bowdown:

Gordon had a few shots to stop the bleeding and stop OKC's run. He was very aggressive tonight and deserves star of the game.

I went with Gordon. He's been working hard all season long. He's really committed to giving a strong effort on defense. He has a ways to go, but you can see the potential in him being a really good player on both sides of the ball. He was really efficient tonight and helped push this team over the top to a victory. 22 points on only 11 shots. It doesn't get much better than that.

Camby would have been next in line for me. I don't give a damn what any Camby critic has had to say. He leaves it all on the floor each game. He may be 34 years old, but he's working harder than anybody on the court. 15 rebounds, is about hustle, desire and determination. I love having him on this team.

This was a tough choice tonight. If you had Clippers as an option I would have picked it. The team played very well as a team. Baron's number are very impressive, so are Camby's and Randolph's but I had to go with the rookie on this one. His defense, hustle and desperately needed timely shots were big.

It's a tough choice between Gordon and Camby.. But I'll have to give it to Gordon this game. He did hit some pretty big shots.

Gordon has become our most efficient guard. He does so much with a minimal amount of shot attempts. Right now, he's our #4 option, but I can't wait until he blossoms into a #2 or even #1 option.

In the last 3 games he has been phenomenal.

16.3ppg, 4.3rpg, 2.7apg, 0.7tpg, 1.3spg while shooting 66.7% from the field and 42.9% from 3.

I just hope that his minutes don't take too much of a hit when Ricky returns.

I think the one who will take a hit is Thornton. Basically, Ricky will take over Collin's minutes. EJ's defense will keep him on the floor.
