Good win.

CP3 got the best of Rondo tonight, but I still put him on as a voting option.

Pierce gets my vote.

I love what Pierce did, in teh first half he looked like he was going to completely take over but then he went a little quiet til right at the end

KG had 2 huge buckets in a row when the hornets caught up to us, and then assisted the final 3 buckets of the game.. he didnt quite have the stat line but i think he gets it

Another efficient shooting night from PP to lead the way.

I didn't see the game. But if Peja was Pierce's defensive responsibility, I don't think Pierce gets it.

Indeed, so much for talks how KG isnt clutch.
Who would win one-on-one in HORSE?

Bird: Nobody beats me in H-O-R-S-E. Besides, Magic cant shoot.

Magic: Larry, you'd have no chance against me one-on-one. I've got too many ways to beat you. Plus, as slow as I am, I'm still faster than you.

i voted for Pierce but don't want to let the remark that "Paul outplayed Rondo" go unanswered.

Before Rondo twisted his ankle Paul was being held in check. After the game Rondo was limping out of the trainers room. Rondo had the "heart" to keep playing even though he was hurting. He wanted the win even though he wasn't at his best.

There was at least one where Paul was sagging just a little too far off of him, but he hit a couple of them just because he is 6'10". He hit a running 3 pointer off the glass to beat the shot clock with Pierce in his grill, just as one example.

By far the worst game of the season. Still we won by 10, so I will take it.

PP was great on offense but his defense on Peja was not good that is why I am going with KG.

Rondo looked horrible. I know the whole team played without energy but he is the guy that needs it most to be effective, so he look the worst. His inconsistency is driving me crazy...


BTW, Ray played 40 minutes again...I am starting to get worried...

Pierce despite his "defense" on Peja in the late 3rd and 4th. Good thing we kept answering cause Peja and CP3 would have won it otherwise.

On the offensive side, Pierce is a unsolvable matchup problem for the Hornets and he used this fact well. Talk about efficiency.

I think KG gets this due to his clutch plays in the 4th quarter.

KG or Pierce... I really liked their execution in the 4th.

Pierce, really set the tone for the game early on and hit at least one clutch shot late last night that I remembered.

Also, it's nice to know that even when a WC playoff team can get red hot from three like that, we can still beat them by ten.

For some of it he was Paul's man but the problem was Chris Paul was turning Rondo and Eddie inside out and Pierce was helping in the paint. Without the defense collapsing on CP3 you could just give Peja's points to him.

Voted for Pierce he was clutch once again. He did keep going under the pick on Peja which resulted in Peja getting a lot of open looks at the basket. He did start to fight over the picks the last 6 minutes of the game. Pierce has been awesome.
