My vote is Bell. Shut down Melo at the end of the game. Bogut second with his work on the boards.

[Buck You]

I voted Redd out of this group. But a lot of players had a huge hand in winning this game. Charlie V, Bogut, Bell, the Nuggets all played a part in us winning this one.

[magpies]

Bogut for me followed by Redd.
Bogut out played Camby and dominated the boards

[75totheMACCfund]

the last rebound bogut got where he ripped it down with one hand was beastly...but based on stats, didn't catch much of the game, had to go with redd...

[Matt Foley]

I voted Bogut... but we know we wouldnt have won without Redd's big night

[bayrdbandit]

i gave it to redd for his obvious offensive output, but his defense was solid and at times brilliant. his shot selection wasn't too bad considering he was hot. bogut a close second, but his offense was awol tonight. it doesn't seem like the offense is running through him any more, which is a shame.

des is great value. he is becoming one of my favourite bucks again.

[Kablooie]

Great game, great defense down the stretch. Too bad there isn't a place to vote for "everyone but our forwards".

[fam3381]

I'm shocked Redd isn't a unanimous pick...I guess there's a big built in bias against him, but c'mon. We would have been down 30 at halftime without him and he was huge in the fourth as well.

[Fight the Tank]

Gotta go Redd and this is coming from someone who would trade him for Larry Hughes straight up.

[vlietinho]

Bogredd of Reddgut, something like that.

[paul]

Redd for me, cracker game. Bogut was fantastic as well, Mo, CV, CB were all very good. One of our best wins this season.

[Senor Bogut]

Has to be Redd.

[europa]

Redd without a doubt. As fam said, the Bucks would've been down 50 without him in the first half and he came through big late as well. He played a terrific game.

[THE DINJ]

Surprising how many people voted Bogut over Mo (though Redd obviously wins). Wait, that's not surprising.

If Bogut could make a 3-ft shot maybe the Bucks wouldn't have been down 23 to begin with. 20 rebs is nice, but man was he soft underneath offensively.

[europa]

I agree. Bogut's offensive game has really regressed this month. I'm hoping it's because of the hip injury because the alternate theory is not very encouraging. Bogut was a monster on the boards, but I would've put Mo and Villanueva ahead of him for POG without hesitation. Both came up big in the second half to give Redd the offensive support he needed.

[Buck You]

Why would anyone vote for Desmond Mason?

[GrandAdmiralDan]

I have to agree with both of the above. The only thing I don't agree with is that I wouldn't put Villanueva ahead of Bogut because of how terribly Villanueva played in the 1st half.

Bogut was indeed absolutely HUGE on the boards, but he is behind Mo Williams for this game and WAY behind Redd.

Redd, no question.
And I say that as someone who has now himself become biased against Redd.

[Serge28]

Well, I'm glad SOMEONE agrees with my order for POG.

[BuckFan25226]

Redd, and it's not even close.
