CG Award 12/29 vs. Jazz

[runrondo]

Paul Pierce hit a tiebreaking layup with 28 seconds left, then sealed Boston's fifth straight victory with a defensive rebound and two free throws as the Celtics beat the Utah Jazz 104-98 Saturday night.
"Pierce was shut out in the first half, then took over the scoring in the final two periods. He had 10 points in the third and another 14 in the fourth to lead Boston to its 14th win in the last 15 games.
Ray Allen scored 23 and Kevin Garnett added 15 points and nine rebounds for the Celtics, who complete a four-game road trip Sunday at the Lakers.

Deron Williams had 22 points and 11 assists, and Carlos Boozer finished with 19 points and 11 rebounds for Utah."

My Vote [glow=red,2,300]goes to Pierce[/glow]..Tony as a very very close second..Pierce was the factor the WHOLE second half on offense and carried us on the offensive end while we took care of defense at certain points..I was proud of Tony changing our defensive tempo but he still made some petty mistakes(missed dunk and that offensive foul when Rondo made the layup)..He did a great job anyhow but he's still gaining confidence since that injury...

I also voted for Pierce. I think without Pierce and Tony we lose this game. They were the real difference makers. Pierce had 24 pts in the 2nd half after being shut out in the first half though.. That's hard to beat. He basically carried our team and made a huge block on Okur at one pt and several other defensive plays as well.

[DERRENMATTS]

Yup, Pierce is the clear winner in this game. Without his huge outpour in the second half, we don't win this game. And like CF mentioned, his block down the stretch on Okur was huge!!!

[CelticsLoyalist]

I gave it to Tony for the consecutive stops and the breakaway to close the game. Also for missing a dunk and still keeping his head on D.

pierce he was looking to score inside not settled for the jump shot. l love that

[FLCeltsFan]

I have to go with Pierce. He carried the team the whole second half. Tony's steals were critical to the win, but Pierce carried the team.
