Voted for Baby. Pierce was amazing, but if Baby did not hold Duncan back some, we would have gotten destoryed.

This one is kinda close as Big baby played great D and that was really important, but if you replace Baby with an avereage player Duncan goes for 32 and we lose by 8, you replace pierces play with an average player today (andhe also played very good D today) and we lose by 15, simply speaking no one elsehad a really good scoring night allen was around his average, but House after his initial burst didnt score again, Rondo did a great job putting other people in scoring position but was 1-6, the D was a team effort without pierce's O we would not have had a shot tonight.

It was hard to chose between Pierce and Davis, I have to go with Big Baby due to his defense on Duncan. If anyone else played Duncan, he would have went off for 30 points easily.

Pierce was the one Scoring all over the Spurs and Glen was holding down TD and finishing under the basket. Tough but i gotta go with the captain.

I voted for Baby, but everyone contributed to the win in this one. Doc should take the whole team out for ice cream and cigars.

It's tough, Pierce put up the big numbers, but Big Baby's D on Duncan might have won it for us.

With Perk and KG out I really didn`t think we could stop TD but Big Baby did a wonderful job. Duncan couldn`t back him in and that was crucial because we didn`t need to double team him constantly!

Pierce had a great game and carried us on offense but I have to go with Davis here! With all the talk about him being undersized he actually contained Duncan! Tim Duncan! Amazing!

How can you guys give this to big baby. Pierce shredded Bowen. Baby did a good job, but COME ON!

I couldn't decide between PP Baby and Rondo (come on now 11 reb 12 assists, clutch rebound and FTs down the stretch, very efficient game), so I voted for Rondo after seeing that he had the best in-game +/-

I absolutely loved this game, perhaps my favorite game of the year. I thought almost everyone showed what they are capable of on a day we needed it most and they did it in front of a national audience.

You have to go with the captain on this one. I can even look past the scoring performance but the defensive effort and unselfish execution down the stretch is too much to ignore. Baby was great and TA had some big individual plays that lead to the win but this afternoon's win belonged to the captain.

P2 Came out from the begining and just went to work.

Dont get me wrong BBD gets alot of props, but P2 just came to play. Without him, this game would not have been close!
Look at those Bobcats......There laying on the floor!!!...Improbable

Big Baby was huge for the C's today, but I had to go with Paul Pierce.
