It was U-G-L-Y, but we pulled it out. Who gets the honor of being named this season's first Star of the Game?

Camby played his ass off, but Kaman has been the man each and every game. As MJ said, without Kaman we lose. He's impressed me so far, and when he shoots I'm shocked if he misses. I hope he keeps up this All-Star type of play.

I really want him to keep this up even after Blake returns.

A lotta good numbers all around tonight, but you can't argue against the Vanilla Gorilla. Beast mode.

Glad we won... It's been Kaman keeping us close in every single game so far.

I think they'll dip a little bit to around 16.5-18 since his minutes/attempts drop will likely drop, but I'd still be OK with that. Teams aren't going to be able to double them both, so having Griffin back should make things easier for him.

Kaman deserves it but I'll show Camby some love.

I voted for Camby, Kaman scored a lot as expected against the weak low post defense of the TWolves but Camby had 5 blocks and 15 rebounds to keep the Clippers in the game.

I would have posted sooner but my computer has issues with RealGM at random times. I'm going for Kaman, but I think Camby and Kaman should get it equally. Kaman gave us a lead early on and Camby gave us chances to win at the end of the game. It's pretty much a toss up for star of the game though.

Was Kaman really the star of the game? I couldn't watch the game so I followed on the NBA live scoreboard or whatever, and it seemed like Al Jeff was scoring easily near the end of the game, Kaman had a crucial turnover that almost cost us the game, AND missed a free throw.

84-86 Kaman turnover
86-86 Al Jefferson tip in
...
86-89 Kaman makes 1 of 2 FT
88-89 Al Jefferson hook shot

From watching the play-by-play stats, it seemed like Butler was the star of the game, making his FTs in the end to give us the win. But what do I know, I can only watch stats because Time Warner and Cox suck.

I was at the game last night and I'd give it to rambis for benching Flynn in the 2nd half. We would have lost if he played. I wonder why he got benched. Was it cause he missed that dunk showboating?

Kaman easily. Reason everyone was chanting mvp for him.

This one is officially in the books. The Star of the Game totals can be seen in the game thread sign-up thread. The leader at the end of the year will be named Mr. Clipper (Player of the Year / Team MVP). Last year's winner was none other than Eric Gordon.
