Chris Paul gets my vote tonight
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

CP3 took control when we needed it, at both ends of the floor. Even his post game interview was exuding leadership. Easy vote.

This is a hard one. Mo was great off of the bench tonight. When he wasn't making shots, he was forcing turnovers. DJ did a great job on Aldridge for most of the game. He really affected some shots without just jumping, swinging his arm and hoping for the best. Butler stepped up big time. The only knock against him was missing the 2 crunch time foul shots. CP3 came through when we needed him most and sealed the victory.

I went with Paul.

Chris Paul just taking charge, I love it. He knows this is his team and he will do everything possible to win.

Mo hustled ALL game long, came up w/ some great STEALS to add to his assists & points. W/out Mo at the end there would be NO CP3 show!
Yes, I voted for MO, so you know he impressed me.

This one has to be CP3!!!!! He carried us down the stretch, and was the catalyst during "Winning Time". Big time game for Paul-----we don't get the "W" without his exploits. Not only the key baskets, but him wanting to gaurd Crawford, winning the last jump ball-----CP3 is "The Man"!!!

Really happy with Butler, he was the X Factor for us but it has to be CP3 for the player of the game. Last year it would have been Blake being smothered in the post down the stretch kicking it out to Gomes or Foye, or Gordon trying to create for himself (no hate but he lost control of his dribble so many times in the clutch). Fast forward to this season, spread floor and let CP3 go to work. Love it.

if thats the case. NEVER start Mo haha.

But nah ill go with CP3, but only just, cause his play was a CLEAR game winner with those few baskets and plays especially stopping Jamal Crawford.

but i could've gone with Caron or DJ or Mo as well, all cause they did a great job.
Caron- held Wallace to 0 pts, stood his game up big time
DJ- stopped Aldridge which was a big part of why we got a big lead
Mo- offence off the bench

but hey a great all round team effort, thats what we want!

i'm going with paul again. had a solid game throughout and made game changing plays in crunch time when the team needed it the most.

honorable mention to butler. just plain bailed the offense out on a few key possessions. played great defense on wallace. he's a huge upgrade over gomes/aminu.
