I really feel like all those players deserved it, but since you gotta choose one, I went with Young for those threes

I went with Evans, but Young/Paul also deserve it..can they just get a 1/4 each?

Reggie freaking Evans with a little Nick Young on the side, and Chris Paul for dessert. Reggie Evans though, definitely.

It's hard to pick between Evans and Young. I think I'll go with Young.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

Reggie over Young by just a hair. The way Reggie was rebounding and defending Z-bo was beautiful to watch. He even defended Rudy Gay well on a couple of possessions. That's the kind of aggressiveness I'd like to see Deandre play defense and rebound with.

I gave it to Young just because he had less votes atm. It was a really a toss up for me between him and Evans. I feel like Mike Brown after that Mo Williams dunk against the C's.

its chris paul. c'mon guys.. he was the leader. he begged to stay in the game. ebled, young, evans were amazing. star? chris paul. he kept believing when they were down by 27. his legs messed up but got 7 or so assists in the 4th quarter. i was thinking man sit him out. rest him.. what if his groin gets worse. but he kept playing. how does young get all those good looks at 3? cp3.. evans layup at the end? amazing pass by cp3. hes the true fighter and i give him the most credit.

I voted for Reggie. But it was a great team effort. Young hit those big threes. Blake hit 2 critical free throws and CP3 controlled everything.

lol... even cp3 himself said that the mvps go to reggie/ebled/young. we all know reggie/ebled/young were the MVPS. Reggie shut down zbo and bodied up gasol. Ebled's D and intensity on the guards worked it. young hit 3 3s in 1 min. cp3 did his usual, but the real MVPs was our bench.

I went Nick Young. The way he was knocking down those back to back shots was a thing of beauty.

Yeah but Chris Paul is almost ALWAYS going to give the credit to his teammates. He could drop 40pts and his teammates could not have hardly done anything, he'll find some kind of way to praise them.

common sense bro... lol... cp3 has 2 votes, i'm assuming one of them would be yours.

rest of the real clipper fans went with young or evans. #wemustnotbefans.

Surprised that Reggie is leading the votes. He didn't shut down Zbo, Zbo sucked all game in almost all aspects (remember the missed opened layup? reminded me of myself when I play pickup ball). I mean, Reggie did a good job but I thought Swaggy P was just hot fiyaaa.

Overall, bench (Bledsoe/Reggie/Swag) was solid. They picked up the slack. CP3 and BG played off of their energy and the rest was history.

Still shocked we won. I was so frustrated during the game until Nick Young decided to slay some Grizzlies.
