Star of the Game 12/19 VS 76ers

That was a crazy game. Both teams were thrown for a loop with the call at the end of regulation. Thankfully the Clippers saw the opportunity as another chance of redemption. We outscored Philadelphia 11-3 in overtime after being outscored by 13 in the 2nd half.

Extremely difficult to choose tonight. Camby crashed the boards like he was possessed, Baron nearly played a perfect game and only had 1 TO which was in OT. Al had 2 huge buckets at the end of the 4th to keep us alive, and Kaman just played spectacular when he was on the court.

My choice really narrowed down to Camby and Baron, but in the end I chose Baron because he did so little wrong from my view. He was very aggressive through most of the game and didn't play wild. Dishing 13 assists with only 1 turnover, and did not chuck up many 3s. I'd do co-player of the games with Camby and Baron, but that's not an option. :P

This was tough. Baron played an efficient game for the most part. Only 2 3-point attempts tonight. 20 points and 13 assists is huge. He also made some very key plays that made it possible for us to win this game. Camby had another 20 rebound night and did so many good things as usual. Thornton came through for us down the stretch with game changing plays on both ends of the court. Butler played hit his shots both inside and outside of the perimeter. He had a strong homecoming in tonight's win.

I went with Kaman. He was scoring when nobody else on our team could. Nobody on the 76ers were really able to stop him. He and Brand were going at it for awhile, but Kaman did edge him out. The only downside to his game were his being in foul trouble. Some of those calls were questionable, but thankfully it didn't really matter. Had Kaman been able to continue, he'd likely be looking at a new career high.

Very respectable numbers from everybody but I had to go with my homeboy Camby 'cause grabbing 20+ rebs is simply insane.

I haven't watched the game yeat(it's still not available on league pass broadband international) but i'm just so used to Camby grabbing 20 rebounds( :P ) that i'll give it to Baron.
20 points and 13 assists, with just one turnover, is exactly what you need from you poing guard.
He's also playing very aggressive and looks like a real leader this season, which is what i really like.

My vote went to Camby, it was between him and Butler for me, they both played really well down the stretch and in the overtime period.

Butler won the game in OT for us, he gets my vote.

I didn't watch the game so I will have to refrain from voting
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

I think everyone played well this game, and i'd give it to any of those players...

I'm just happy we didn't have another loss after having a big lead at half =\
