Who gets it?

Paul deserves it, but I gave it to Leon.
Great overall game for him.

I give it to Paul Pierce.

Powe, if we had left him in for the 4th(like we should of), he'd have had 40! Doc adjusted to Phil instead of making Phil adjust to the Celtics.

Leon played out of his mind but Pierce closed the deal.

powe was the biggest factor. he also had so many FT's which was our biggest advantage.

PP was great, Powe is obviously the feel good choice (almost single handedly outscored the Lakers' bench in less than 15 minutes). I'm voting for Rondo. Our offense set the tone tonight and Rondo subtely played a huge role in that, while making other contributions. Didn't come up so big down the stretch, but I blame that partially on Doc for leaving him on the floor for the entire half. IMO KG is the only guy on our roster Doc should ever consider leaving on the floor for 24 minutes a half regardless of how well anyone else might be playing on a given night.

Leon as huge! As soon as we went with Posey at the 4 it all went wrong. We can`t allow them to have 4 three pointers in the game. Play big, play with KG at the 4!

I am just glad we won this one! It was a great reminder that we need to be focused for the whole game and that we need to protect the three point line!

Now let`s win game 3!!!

PP was great as usual but Powe really stepped up and even though he's been gettin buried on the bench, he really gave us a spark and played liek he did during the reg season. Well done sir!

Great halftime segment with Leon. Good story. I'm proud to have him as a Celtic.

BEAT LA

Cleverly orchestrated blowing of the lead to avoid the "Memorial Day Massacre Effect" letdown for the next game.

Seriously, we got cocky, and we learned a lesson - better for it to happen now than Tuesday.

Powe never forgives California for making him and his family homeless.

Powe, it's not a contest. If it weren't for Powe I would've gone with Rondo. I don't want to hear how Pierce closed it, he was part of the reason we lost that huge lead. Powe deserves it.

Powe played really physical inside and got the the line in the first half and in the second half he just extended that lead by taking it to the rim strong...I love the way this guy finishes...bravo Powe...honorable mention to Rondo who also played a great game with 16 dimes and only 2 turnovers and Pierce was great getting into the lane.

powe definitely deserves it, extremely efficient 20+ game. Paul did great, but almost gave the game away at the end with his 2 straight turnovers. Ray defended Kobe extremely well, and kobe only scored all those points in the fourth after Ray got out of the game. Rondo played great minus the bad freethrow shooting.

The 10-0 run to start the second period is what won the game.

So I agree with the announcers, who selected him as the "T-Mobile Player of the Game", and go with Powe.

There's too many choices for this poll. The choices should be.

Rondo
Pierce
Powe

I would have gone with Powe if not for the game needing to be closed out and that puts Pierce ahead in my eyes. Especially when you factor in that so many of Powe's dunks as well as trips to the line were set up by feeds from Pierce.

No one seems to notice this - but its great we can win when KG has a forgettable game..

Went to the game. Awesome. Powe was magnificent. He gets my vote.

Pierce, and rondo did great though as well.

I voted Pierce, how many of Leon's points were there becuase of Paul's passing, Paul scored the most had 8 assists the key block drew fouls on Kobe and Odom he was the Most valuable player tonight, though Leon did have on hell of a game and was really clutch
