It's really only a two man race with KG and Rondo, I went with KG.

Garnett was great for the most part..but come on..12 pts/ 12 ast/ 6 reb with 2 HUGE HUGE HUUUUUUGE plays in the end of the game and great defense all game long on Tony Parker. I'll give it to Rajon..

BRU, you make a good point, but I'll still go with KG. Rondo had a few really bad passes tonight, and I don't like to be that picky on players. But KG was solid. He made a few "wow" plays and was psyched all night long and brought the intensity for us (except Paul, he looked like he was asleep out there).

I went with KG. My favorite play of the night, aside from KG's and 1 alleyoop, was the play at the end of the 3rd, when Rondo and Rasheed ran the pick and pop, and Rondo just lobbed the ball, no-look, over the top of his head and perfectly hit sheed who nailed the 3 at the buzzer. GREAT play.

KG was active offensively, but, 7 rebounds in 35 minutes? Also, I tend to favor the guy who was vital at the most important juncture of the game. Tonight, IMO, that was Rondo during the 4th quarter Spurs run. Rondo, I thought, allowed too much penetration by Parker and up until the 4th quarter that would have biased my vote. But, the 4th quarter turned the tide in my eyes.

Had to go with Mr. Rondo. Clutch D, and a clutch . . . jumper? What?

Both were great. You really can't go wrong...I would have given it to KG too if Rondo doesn't stick that jumper..3 minutes left, 4 pt game, Spurs with the crowd back in the game and full momentum, and Rondo wets that jumper..if he misses that, we would have been in trouble. And the next play up the court, he turns what could have been a Parker lay up, into a Parker TO..those were big plays. Garnett had a better game, but Rondo came up with crucial plays..that's my reason for voting Rondo. lol

BTW..any doubts that KG is getting back to 100%?? Dude is balling... :wink:

Rondo was excellent in the closing minutes, but I'm going with KG on this one. 3rd consecutive good game from Ticket.

Went with Rondo. He pushed the pace early on that gave us the padding for the entire game and then finished strong.

I think that Ray played well and that Perk was really physical with Duncan I think we are starting to take his border line all star play for granted.

KG seems to be remembering that he is friggin Kevin Garnett.

But Rondo was a dude tonight. Stroking J's, a few too many to's but damn your gonna break some eggs and that strip on Parker was clutch.

Some good play tonight, but I went with Rondo. It is just a pleasure to watch him operate.

Loved KG's effort but going with Rondo. His assists were all gems. The clutch play sealed it for us. He was a great floor general tonight and kept Parker in check for most of the night.

KG was again the finisher but Rajon created everything for the Cs tonight. He did a pretty solid job on Parker too. Gotta be Rondo.

KG wins easily.

rondo only scores from put backs or fast breaks.

I didn't watch the game, but it's hard to see how ANY big man can deserve it when the team gave up 20 offensive rebounds and only got two

KG... not as spectacular as Rondo, just solid.

His 18-footers score the same amount of points as Rondo's behind the back fake then scoop shot move that no one in the league should possibly fall for anymore.

I voted for KG, very solid game, props to Rondo as well.

Is it me or Duncan looked slower than Garnett? Is TD still hurt?
