Great game for our 2nd tier players tonight, some real debate about who gets the cigar

It is between Rondo and Powe. But how many times will Leon have an opportunity to win one, so I am giving it to him! He deserves it!

For me, there was no clear cut winner. BUT I am going to give it to Leon for his great play all season.

I went with Leon, it was a tie between him and Rondo, but Rondo's already got a bunch of victory cigars, so Powe it is.

I would have loved to give my vote to Leon, or Rajon, but I had to give it to Tony. Powe posted 25/11 against a poor frontcourt (but looked impressive doing it), Rondo was on target offensively, but TA contributed 20 points while picking up six assists, shutting down DWade, and only turning the ball over once.

It's got to be Rajon. I loved Tony tonight, and Leon played great as well, but with out Rajon, we have no great ball handler/penetrator.

Can we have a three-way tie?? Rondo, Powe and TA ALL deserve a piece of the pie, or the cigar :D

I voted for rondo in only 25 minutes (he wasnt in there in the 4th) he scored 23 points grabbed 6 boards and dished out 3 assists. In the first quarter when we pulled ahead it was off his scoring or his drives for the most part, TA had a big impact early too and Powe had a great game, but i think rondo was the most valuable

My first choice is TA. He played very well on both ends of the floor and did a very good job of distributing without committing turnovers. It almost looked like playing him at pg made sense. The more he plays the better he's going to get.
My second choice is Leon. Huge game from Powe looked like he might actually have some value in the league.
Third choice is Rondo. Finally looks like he's back on track. Miami had nobody who could stop him. I'd have liked to have seen even more penetration from him.

I went with Powe as well, but it's real close between Powe and Rondo.

Got to love how the 2nd teir guys stepped up for the win.

I agree. I think TA had the best overall game.

I watched the replay, and nobody really stands out, if I didn't look at the boxscore, there was no way I would have known that Powe(?) had a 25/11 game.

The scrappy defense is what won the Celtics the game.

I hope KG and Ray are back to whoop some Mavericks.

Since we can't have a 4 way tie I'll have to go with Powe.

Wow, what a tough choice. Rondo played like an all star. Leon was an absolute beast on both ends of the floor but TA is getting my vote. I think this was the first game where we saw the old TA back. He basically shut down DWade on defense and was driving at will on offense. The dunk he had in the first quarter gave me goose bumps. I'd like to see him get another start on Friday but I'm sure Ray Ray will be back from the flu.
