Not sure how anyone can give it to anyone but the Truth.

Definitely Paul Pierce. Not saying Glen Davis didn't do a superb job, he did great. But Paul Pierce was unstoppable.

Pierce, not really close at all.

Baby did a great job at going beyond filling his role today.

And Rondo filled his role completly.

I wonder what a playoffs match would be like and if our team could still completley outhustle the Spurs. We got 2 offensive rebounds off free throw misses without a center on the roster!

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

it's funny i switched over to TNT or TBS or something during commercials, and there was A Few Good Men with Jack N. sayng his line.

Baby is the sentimental pick but really, this was Paul's game. without him we got nothin. he abused bowen so bad that pop went with udoka on him to close out he game. we needed pierce or ray to step up against one of the best defensive teams in the league, and the captain answered the bell.

I'm torn between Pierce and BBGD. I'm going withe the captain today but it's great to even have a rookie in contention for the MVP in a game as big and exciting as this.

P2 was too much today. Gotta give it to him even though BBD was awesome as well.

I think Paul Pierce deserves it. There was a point in the 1st quarter where it looked like he would never miss.

I was at the game yesterday and Paul played out of his mind. He absolutely owned Bowen who IMO has fallen off considerably. BBD played a great game as well but Paul was The Truth!

not to take away from big baby but i had to go with pierce on this one. Babys D was incredible on duncan and did assist in leading us to the W. But Pierce went shot for shot with ginobli in the first and didnt stop from there

Tough call, but I'm going BBD, the void left by Garnett and Perk was huge particularly against Duncan, there's no victory without BBD. If Rondo got more points you would have to consider him with the triple double.

Didn't get a chance to vote but it would have been Pierce.

I'm all for voting for a supporting player when none of the Big 3 had a fantastic game, but Pierce had a fantastic game.

What was most amazing about the game was that EVEN WITHOUT KG WE ARE A DOMINANT DEFENSIVE TEAM.

Talk about a sea change.

Cigar standings through 39-9

Paul - 10.5 cigars
KG - 6.5 cigars
Rondo - 6 cigars
Ray - 4 cigars
Perk - 4 cigars
Big Baby - 3 cigars
Leon - 3 cigars
TA - 1 cigar
Posey - 1 cigar

Leon is climibng the standings and Rondo is making a push for the Big 4. Eddie is still cigarless, if Scal gets one before him the award should be ended.
