After 3 quarters I would have gone with Bell. But Bogut gets the vote easy here because of what he did down the stretch.

[Newz]

I think Bogut is the obvious selection.

Bell had a nice game as well though, especially for him.

[europa]

Hard not to vote for Bell given how this by far his best game of the season but Bogut was flat-out dominant tonight against a top center and was clutch down the stretch. He gets my vote.

[LUKE23]

Bogut. Made the clutch plays.

[Buck You]

Bogut easily.

I kind of want to vote for Bell because he REALLY brought it tonight, but I think I have to go with Bogut as well. Close runner-up to Bell.

I honestly wasn't impressed enough with Mo Williams to have put him even as a choice for this game. He didn't play poorly, that's not what I'm saying.

I would also like to give an honorable mention to Bobby Simmons. His jump shot wasn't on, but he contributed in so many other ways tonight.

I want to vote for Michael Redd's thigh bruise, where is that option?

[paul]

Bogut. I too would have loved to have given it to bell as it was a really welcome return to form, but it was clearly bogut.

Likewise with the props to Simmons GAD, i gave him some love in the game thread but got nothing back so thought i was the only one who saw him contributing pretty well. Mo wasn't even close to player of the game, but was ok.

After a already good game, Bogut put his team on his back late and carried them to victory. This is even more meritorious considering how he is only an average centre at best and has no hope for improvement in the future.

Also good to see his non existant post moves against a good defensive centre on show.

[bigricho12]

I want to vote for Haywood or Dalembert.... Cant wait until we trade for one of them and then we can watch their extensive post moves carry us to victory.

10 points, 8 rebounds, a big steal late and a huge assist late to Bogut. I agree, he made a very nice contribution across the board.

[Andrew34r]

Bogut. This seemed like the first time ever where they went to Bogut almost every time down the stretch? It was great to see.

[WRau1]

Bogut's coach must be in town.

[REDDzone]

Bogut's coach must be in town.

Oh man I hope not.

[bayrdbandit]

bogut only just. i thought bell made some incredible moves to the hole. bogut's passing was nice to watch tonight. my glass must be half empty though because as good a game as he played offensively, bogut's defensive effort at times looked lackluster.

great win.

That stuff is nice too, but I was more referring to all the things he was doing that didn't really show up in the boxscore.

Bogut tonight.
