The team played the right way tonight and it paid off. Win number 1 before heading out on a road trip.

Wow, Bledsoe's speed is so apparent when you look at him compared to Baron

Hard for me to say if it's Bledsoe or Gordon. I think they both did a terrific job. I may just give this to Bledsoe since being a rookie and playing pg are so challenging in the NBA.

I watched Eric Bledsoe become a man tonight. He wasn't perfect, but he made it all go for us. It's kind of funny when you look back to summer league and preseason, but we absolutely were a better team with him in the game. He more than held his own against one of the better young pg's in the league in Russell Westbrook. He set his teammates up, rebounded, got into the paint and scored, dished and kicked it out to the open man. This type of experience should go a long way into his development as an NBA player as well making the team better overall.

EJ had a phenomenal game himself, and it was tough to choose. I just went with the 20 year old rookie playing in his 2nd start.

Definitely Bledsoe. If it weren't for his play tonight, it would've been loss #5. Great job Eric!

Yeh Bledsoe definately only cause we've seen EJ with some great games already, not taking away that from the Hobbit himself haha, cause with out his effort either, who would say we would've won

But Bledsoe for me, good on him

Wow, no Kaman on that list. LOL. No really, it definitely between Bledsoe and EJ, but I had to goo with EJ. Bledsoe played extremely well, but EJ was playing like a savvy veteran all-start out there. He did absolutely everything last night.

My vote was for Bledsoe, although a case could be made for having co-players of the game by adding Gordon. Bledsoe didn't look anything like he did in the summer league, running the offense well, pushing the ball upcourt if a break was available and also pulling the ball out and setting up a play if needed. The speed and athletic ability to be a top 10 PG is there with this guy no doubt, it looks to be a great pickup by Olshey on draft day.

Blake G keeping his ROY campaign alive no doubt.

Looks like it's closer now between Gordon and Bledsoe

Haha me too. I went with Bledsoe cause he did a hell of a job controlling the team along with hitting some crucial 3s.
