No one's ignoring other's performances but KG was the man of the night BY FAR.
To be fair, looking at the team's +/- #s for the night:
Paul Pierce +22
Kevin Garnett +9
Rajon Rondo +9
Ray Allen +3
Scott Pollard +3
Leon Powe -2
Glenn Davis -3
Kendrick Perkins -3
James Posey -3
Eddie House -5

just wondering.
He's running away with 93% of the votes for tonight's Victory Cigar. Are you really complaining about the other 7% of the votes? Did you not read the game thread?

I, and others, are very aware of Ray Allen's two clutch offensive rebounds. They were key. But compared to KG overall offensive AND DEFENSIVE contributions, or Paul Pierce's scoring, or a great game by Scot Pollard, those rebounds were essential, but don't get you the victory cigar. Ray had to do something tonight, he played the most minutes (43).

Agreed. Paul may have played a lot when we got the huge lead and maybe KG was on the pine. It's too subjective to measure their impact entirely on +/- numbers alone.

Haha I'm not measuring by +/- alone as I voted for KG but Pierce owned that category.
I think some people view the Victory Cigar as the 1 sole contributor who defined the win.
Well guess what, we all know that can't be the case.
I voted for KG because I thought he dominated the game...
That being said I thought Ray's 2 Offensive Rebounds and Paul's 2 passes/the +/- stat were interesting.

Gotta give it to KG. Playing him down the stretch at the 5 and having to bang with Yao, clinched the deal there. Pollard was probably the 2nd choice, IMO. Had a vital little scoring/rebounding run when the wheels began to fall of the wagon in the 3rd quarter to help stave off the Houston comeback for a bit.
Thanks Brad for answering my ad,

But after KP, your C play? You broke my heart Fredo.
