Crazy Crazy Crazy game, who gets the MVP? Rondo with his huge game, Garnett, Pierce with the HUGE Ft's? Baby with the spark, Ray with the huge board....this one is a really tough call, I am gonna give it to rondo just barley over Garnet and Pierce.

Rondo. Those threes were probably pretty huge. Plus he's just nasty.

Rondo easily gets my vote.
All star type game for him tonight.
I can't describe how important those 3's were to close out the 1st half.

Rondo easily. He was the sparkplug tonight.



Ray should not be an option, despite that great tip he turned the ball over on the previous trip and had another bad game.

Got to be Rondo. Garnett had a nice line and a good game, but he basically fed off the momentum turning spurts of Rondo. Tremendous defense, a direct hand in nearly half (46) of our points through scoring or assists, and better decision making all night than any of the "vets" on the floor.

KG had 26/16/4/3 and he still has no chance of winning this one. That's how good Rondo was.

Rondo. KG was great and Pierce was very good but you expect it from them. You don't really expect a Chris Paul esque 20-13 with a sick block and a taking over the game performance from Rondo.

Those 3's he hit in the 1st half were absolutely huge, too. It looked like we'd go into the half down double digits and we cut it to 3, largely due to him.

kg will get this amazing line anytime. however, rondo's huge 3's, and his 20points and 13 assists is something that will give the C's an edge over the other great teams.

Have to go with PP. He hit all the FT when needed.

Davis should get the victory Cigar.....very timely baskets. The Rook was the difference.....of course PP and Garnett were clutch and refused to lose!

Rondo was the X-factor tonight. Now if he could only play like this on the road, we'll be hard to beat.

Rondo set the tone defensively and offensively. He started the second half off with some big defensive plays to get us going. Then throughout the game he was slashing, hitting the floater and setting our guys up. Not to mention those 2 three pointers in the 2nd quarter to bring us back in the game. Huge performance by Rondo.

Not to steal you guys thread, but Rondo was the key.

Cavs can't defend him. Lebron could if he played off him due to his ability to recover and block shots but then you guys would just go to Pierce.

Doc plays Rondo, you break down the Cavs defense.

You're not stealing, your opinion is welcome.

Question, how serious is the Gibson injury and will he be able to go on Friday?
