I didn't watch the entire game, but I'm pretty sure it was all Baron. I'm glad to see that Bynum didn't destroy Kaman either. He didn't shoot well, but at the same time neither did Bynum. As I said before those were the two biggest factors in this game. Craig deserves some mention for stepping it up in the 4th.

It was vintage Baron tonight. I fueled the team so I gotta give it to him.

Baron brought the tempo and energy, but I had to give it to Rhino since he started playing up to his capabilities and scored when we needed it the most when the game was tied.

That's my situation right now, Rhino really busted things loose in the 4th quarter. So, I'm going with Craig Smith. He was slumping there for a while and collecting DNP-CD's. So he gets huge props for hitting 6 out of 6 shots and getting us back on track after we lost our lead. That's the type of contribution that we need out of our bench, and I'm not sure things would have turned out the way they did if he wasn't out there.

I went with Craig Smith. It was nice to see him some good minutes and he was producing very efficiently. Baron, EJ, and the others played well too. It was a good team effort.

I have never, and I mean NEVER, seen Baron play like that in a Clipper uniform. That was old-school BD right there.

Faster pace = win.

Tough one between Baron and Rhino. Baron really showed his leadership qualities and PG skills tonight. On the other hand, at the beginning of the 4th quarter when everyone was settling for jumpshots, Rhino was the one that said, "F*** this! I'm taking it to the rim." After that, everyone followed suit.

Rhino really gave us that boost we needed in the 4th to close out the game. Not to mention, he was such a huge factor late in the game, that Dunleavy was able to rest Camby for the entire 4th quarter.

Honorable mentions to everyone else who was nominated as well.

I'm going with Baron. He was the man last night, I wish he would be that inspired every night
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

Baron was the superb, but Craig Smith made very crucial plays in the 3rd and 4th quarter. He was surprisingly good both in the offensive and defensive end. Therefor I say it a tie.

Baron was superb throughout the game and was driving the team on. He was screaming at players to get out and run and even shut down guys on defence. He faced doubles which opened up the play for other and didn't juck many terrible 3s (did once).

Got to give it to him but props to Rhino for his great play and Kaman for holding his own against Bynum. Also Butler was great, really putting in the effort and playing good defence. I was a little disappointed in Gordon but he had an ok game.

Yeah, Gordon was getting too frustrated with matching up with Kobe. He just needs to understand Kobe's a superstar and he's not going to get the same treatment from the refs. Just live with it and play the game instead of complaining and giving up on plays.
