Who was the player of the game against the Blazers?

I would vote both Millsap and Watson dual MVP, they both brought the intensity.

For the first time all year I really thought about giving people the option to vote for two players, but I think that could skew the results. Better to force people to make the tough choice.

What I'd really like is a poll that lets you vote for three guys, awarding 3, 2 and 1 point(s).

I went with Millsap. He had a rough first half but he came back, tweaked how he was playing and was effective. We say Blake Griffin give up when he got frustrated playing against the Jazz earlier this season. Color me impressed.

No Crawford on the list? I guess I'll go with Millsap then.

Felton could've made the list, too.

Seriously, for a team with a lot of nice pieces, they somehow forgot that you need a point guard to fun the team. Here's to hoping they never find one.

I'd vote for Raja Bell for finally not hurting us at all!!!

Seriously LOVE the new SL (with Al when he gets back though).

I wish I could vote for both Hayward and Watson......

I don't understand how anyone could vote for Millsap in this game...... Yes he scored some points, yes he grabbed some rebounds, but it was his defense (or lack thereof) that almost lost this game for the Jazz......

The Jazz had to rearrange their entire defensive scheme because Millsap couldn't guard Aldridge.....

The career of Gordon Hayward changed yesterday! He had the worst 1st half I have ever seen. He came out early at halftime to practice his shot and then came out hitting his shot. The boy grew up yesterday. He is my vote for game MVP. He doesnt show that moxy to come out strong in the 2nd half the Jazz lose. Jazz have a good bunch of guys and everyone contributed. A great night for the Jazz organization.

This was a real tough one. Earl brought the toughness and will for the team to win. Hayward hit critical shots and had the monster block at the end. Kanter played huge minutes and really got up into LA. Paul somehow managed 15 rebounds while being the smallest forward on the court.

Everyone shot like **** so I discount point totals. I went with Kanter because of the way he played LA, but in reality all of the guys mentioned above were critical to the win.
