Kind of split between Rondo and Scal, but I knew Rondo would have more supporters so I gave Scal the nod.

EDIT: Didn't realize it was Rajon's birthday. He'd definitely get the nod from me now, but it doesn't matter, he has this rapped up.

Scal was great. So were Davis and Ray, of course.

But I have to go with Rondo. When he is this aggressive he is unstoppable. Sure, suns don`t play defense but you still need to hurt them

I just thought in the third quarter he made two unnecessary turnovers, it seemed he forced on a couple of plays.Too bad he sat practically the whole fourth quarter he could have gotten a triple double.

One thing that worries me is overplaying Ray and Paul. Doc need to give Walker and Giddens some minutes, we can`t burn PP and Allen out!

I LOVE THIS TEAM!

My vote to Rajon!!!

Amazing game by Rondo - this kid is going to be an All Star next year, and a Super Star in a couple years when he solidifies his J. DA is a frigging genius!

Ray CLUTCH AS HELL - great great game.

Paul sluggish sloppy first half - however, absolutely brilliant second half to finish with 26 points on 50% shooting, 10-10 from the line, 6R and 3A. Not bad for a guy who allegedly partied too much at the All Star game - NOT! He is all but married with a baby. I know people that he knows. He has settled down alot since his wilder days.

I LOVE THIS TEAM!

Joey, weren't we supposed to lose the first 4 games of this road trip - even with KG. Wrong again, I guess - FOR THE THOUSANDTH TIME. Not to worry - still time to post that we should concede to Denver and save the airfare. LOLOLOL.
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

Is there any way we can pull up the stats of Rondo when at least one of the Big 3 are missing?

Got to be Rondo for this game. Great job from Veal and Baby filling in for KG as well.

Ray played fantastic ball, broke the team record for consecutive free throws, and comes in a distant second to Rondo in this one.

By the way Denver is still playing in Milwaukee so maybe they'll be worn out tomorrow.

Always looking at efficiency,

Paul Pierce had a very good game (26 pts. on 8-17 shooting, 6 Boards, 3 assists, 5 TO's),

Ray Allen had a league MVP like game (31 pts., 10-15 FG, 4 boards, 2 assists, 1 TO) and

Rajon Rondo had a phenemonal game (32 pts. 13-18 FG, 10 Assists, 3 steals, 6 Rebounds).

Rondo in a landslide, I hope.

Should go down as one of Rajon's best birthday presents ever.

I know Rondo will win this, but I'm giving my vote to Ray. He really always hit a key shot whenever it looked like the Suns were getting close.

Still, happy birthday Rondo and congrats on the career high!
