Nene and it ain't even close. He played masterful at both ends.

Whats funny is, we only really had these 4 play above average basketball yesterday. I do suspect we'll get all around games out of Wall and Beal soon. Not sure about Webster, :/

[truwizfan4evr]

Obviously its Nene.

[queridiculo]

Nene is the obvious choice, but to me Ariza deserves an honorable mention. Silently killed the Bulls with his marksmanship defense, and rebounding.

Trevor is typically a pretty quiet guy, but there was a point in the third where he really seemed to rally his team following a score to cut the Bulls 13 point lead. (Forgot whether it was off the made three on a scramble, or a layup/dunk).

I have conferred with the other members of the selection panel (of 1) and arrived at a consensus:

Brazilian Jesus!!!

[daSwami]

Yep. gotta go Nene. He played a perfect game (although he still scares the crap out of me at the FT line). This one really was a total team effort, I think. We were the better defensive team last night. Whodathunk?

[Dat2U]

Nene is the easy choice. Not just offensively but his defense on Noah really impacted the Bulls offense as well.

[tontoz]

Nene bitched Noah but all 4 guys were big.

[miller31time]

Any one of those four guys have an off game and we lose this one. But Nene was the POTG and it isn't even close.

[milellie111]

Nene no question

LOL.

Maybe the poster thought it was Andre Miller's son.

[musiqsoulchild]

From a Bulls fan perspective, it was Andre Miller.

He was the difference-maker.

[buszmen]

There should added two more options:
- all team play great
and
- Randy Wittman

[WallToWall]

All played their roles well. Nene had the most to carry though.

Great googly moogly at uncle Al and Uncle Drew. Yikes. Wall and Beal couldn't buy jumpers yesterday, but they produced well in other facets I thought. How heavily does PPA weight shooting efficiency? Should we be encouraged or discouraged regarding Beal/Wall being below 100?

Also, Ariza>>>>LBJ

[barelyawake]

Nene lead and lead early, framing the game for a young team without playoff experience (and on the road) -- which, in turn, framed the series itself. He caused the win. He deserves the praise. He needs to continue to do so. And if he does, this playoffs could get very interesting.

[sfam]

Easiest choice ever.
