That's not a typo. We actually beat the defending champions and scooped up our first back to back home victories of the season.

This one is a bit harder because Collins and Jones both came up huge in clutch situations and Zbo put on the hard hat(again) and went to work in the post early and often. However, I'm gonna have to give the kudos to Baron. I'm just shocked he came to play in back-to-back games vs quality opponents.

It was between Baron & Collins for me. Collins did a great job (on both sides of the ball) against Pierce and of course the game winning "assist" to Z-Bo. He filled in great for Al and I'm glad that we have him for at least a couple more seasons.

I went with Baron though. 60% from the field. He was driving into the lane, hit some huge shots and had some big plays. He did not score in the last 8 or 9 minutes of the game, but he has certainly turned up the volume in the last few games. Hopefully the trend will continue.

Nice poll question, MK lol

Baron is starting to play smart and with aggression so I gotta give him the nod.

I'm going with Randolph
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

I chose Mardy. Even though Zach had the big numbers, Mardy was the man at the close of the game. I couldn't believe the $11million dollar man (Baron) froze up and allowed Mardy/Fred Jones to run the offense. Baron did have a long 3 ball, but there was no leadership at the end. Although I do have to give him credit for taking it to the basket earlier in the game.

I'm not voting for any individual, cause i really liked how the whole team played.
