Everybody chipped in and was key in the victory so it'll be interesting to see who comes out on top.

It's really hard to choose. Everyone listed played such a big role in our win. I'd give it to Harrington if I could, but obviously can't. So I may have to go with our sharpshooter. Novak just made so many clutch 3s when we needed it. As did Gordon, but at this point you kinda expect it out of him. Baron played big as well with his 20 assists even if he shot horribly. I would probably put him at 2nd since this is his best game teamplay wise.

Such good numbers all around tonight. It's hard not to go with Baron after those 20 assists, or EJ with those 30 points, etc... But I'm gonna go with Zach Randolph, because he made the big shots. We were getting killed on the boards, then he stepped up and grabbed 15 of em. But it was the timing of his buckets that got it done, despite the Knick's crowding defense. So, my vote's for Z-Bo.

I'm going with Novak, although it was hard not to go with Gordon. Novak had ice in his veins and was our 2nd leading scorer. The other guys had impressive games of their own, but it's not common for us to have a guy pitch in 20+ off the bench. 75% from 3. Dude was clutch.

I went with Gordon, although Novak certainly deserved to share it with him. Some of those 3's Novak hit were unbelievable, he has a much quicker release than a guy like Piatkowski had and takes better shots. The Clippers had better match any offer for him this offseason as a RFA.

I'm going with Gordon, based on the boxscore and what I've read on what you guys said.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

I gotta go with Novak. When nobody else was scoring and it felt like the Knicks were going to build on their 8 point lead, Novak really kept us in the game with some key 3 pointers. Al Harrington is an honorable mention.

Gotta go with Eric Gordon, he pulled through for us the most consistently. Z-Bo came through late, but Eric Gordon was lighting it up throughout. Im looking at the overall course of the game, and how he came through during crunch time as well. (The reverse lay up...nice!) Novak hit some big shots, but i don't think thats enough to make him player of the game.

Side Note: HONESTLY, how many people thought baron davis was going to miss that 3 pointer in OT! I did...lol

It's a tight call between Gordon and Novak and since I vote EJ all the time I think Novak deserves this one.

I picked the unpopular choice of B-diddy! Come on, career high 20 assists! most of those were going to Novak for three's that kept us in the game

Return to Los Angeles Clippers
