Perk Is A Beast

KENDRICK PERKINS!!!!

18 points, 16 massive rebounds, two Garden shaking blocks and two Piston shattering steals. He also shot an amazing 72%! Perk won this game!

I must have typed this in every thread. haha. Ray.

Who had great games? Ray and Perk. Tied up 1-1. Who was clutch in the final minutes. Ray. 2-1.

Hardest victory cigar of the year IMO . I'm going to give it to Ray b/c among other things he scored the biggest 4 points of the year to date.

I got to go with ray , he was amazingly clutch tonight.

Lots of good options for tonight, here's how I rate them:
1. Perk- Career night for him. His intensity kept us in there in the early going
2. Ray- Got hot when we needed a scorer. Closed out real well.
3. KG- Monster night. He's spoiled us so much with how good he's been all playoff long.

Honorable mention: Stuckey- thanks for missing that free throw.

Jeez, it looked like Perk was a lock for it at the end of the third, but after the 4th, I'm going with Ray.

Between Ray and Perk. I gave it to Ray. Guy has ice water in his veins.

Paul's D and KG's scoring can't go unnoticed either.

Rondo's assists look great but he was pathetic. He still can't shoot and still has no confidence. And what was with those weak passes, he was LUCKY his TOs werent higher.

I think for the first time ever, 3 people get the cigar. KP43, KG, and Ray Allen!

Exactly my thoughts, any one of the starters could get it and I'll be fine with it. I gave it to Allen because he was clutch and because he finally gave us the type of game we had been waiting for.

Perkins even with the T.

I'd give an honorable mention to Doc. Even though the players didn't execute in the fourth, I though the people's whose number we were calling were the right ones. Had the balls to shorten the rotation and to start intentionally fouling Stuckey at the end of the game. To me that is just good coaching.

kendrick, kg and allen! i'm tossing the cigar in the middle of the 3 of them.

Rondo was a huge negative, but what can u do when he's the only guard who can handle the basketball and defend? I'd prolly take a guy like Duhon over him

Perkins was huge in the 1st to 3rd, but a total non factor in the 4th including a tech and a rebounding foul or two.

KG somehow managed to drop 33 points and he's not even a candidate for the victory cigar!

Ray...sealed this win with great late game defensive sequences, that big 2, and clutch free throws. he gets this cigar.

Perk created a huge number of extra possessions, with the offensive rebounds and steals. And those shots weren't automatic.

Meanwhile, KG had more TOs than Perk did, and Ray had just as many.

Perk brought his infant son to the press conference, how can you not give him the vote? You're going to make his baby boy cry! You guys are heartless!

Are you serious? He had 13 assists, 6 rebounds, 4 huge steals and threw in a block for good measure. His shooting was off but he was aggressive and a leader on the court. Rondo got it done tonight, if you really would rather have Duhon I think you ought to see a doctor.
