I have to go with Fisher here, because of the stated reasons.

considering expectations, Fisher is a good choice.

But I'm going with Westbrook. He made a bunch of big shots, didn't force much and played in your face defense. I loved what he did when guarding Dirk, the kid has heart. Harden would have been a good choice as well, extremely efficient all-around game.

Easily Westbrook tonight for OKC. Tonight's refs called way too many fouls for both teams though. Simply ridiculous. It's the playoffs so let them play.

The one thing that REALLY stood out to me was with Fisher. Near the end, they called a bunch of fouls on Westbrook. This when he was getting frustrated and slammed the ball off the floor (amazed he didn't get a tech). They showed a camera cut a few seconds later and Fisher was in his ear having a conversation with him. Shortly after hit the big 3. This is exactly why he is on the team.

Westbrook has been CARRYING the thunder thus far.

Cant wait for him to have a bad came in the future then everyone freaks out. If you switched KDs and Westbrooks numbers from the first two games everyone would be destroying Russ, but since its KD he gets a pass

KD isn't playing "bad" so far, his shots are just not falling. But he takes good shots mostly.
There is a big difference in Ray Allen missing five 3's in a row and Bynum missing five 3's in a row.

Nevertheless I agree that Westbrook has been playing good ball, so he deserves the POG award for Game 2 ;)

So far its 1 for Ibaka and 1 for Westbrook.
