Great win without Garnett..Solid games from Ray and Pierce while Powe, Rondo, and Posey really came through for us...Rondo stole the game and then Posey sealed it...Great win....



Ray [glow=red,2,300] 11/20FG 26PTS 4REB[/glow]

Pierce [glow=red,2,300] 8/19FG 26PTS 6REB[/glow]

Rondo [glow=red,2,300] 5/14FG 14PTS 12REB(6OFF) 4AST

Powe [glow=red,2,300] 3/5FG 10PTS 4REB[/glow]

Posey [glow=red,2,300]3/9FG 13PTS 3REB 3STL[/glow]


My Vote [glow=red,2,300]goes to Rajon Rondo[/glow] I think it's really between him and Posey...Pierce had a solid game and Ray had a nice game but Rajon's 6 offensive rebounds and 12 total with one HUGE and game changing one at the end sealed this award..Posey sealed the game but Rajon had to steal it first and essentially win it...Posey, Perk, Powe, and even Scal played some good defense on Dirk all night long too so they deserve some mention..Great win to reflect on without KG...

I can't vote on this one. Rajon came up big with that offensive rebound and putback against Nowitzki. But Posey had some timely steals and he was money at the freethrow line late in the game.

Pierce had a stretch where he kept us in the game late in the 3rd.

[CelticsLoyalist]

Rondo just for his aggressiveness and rebounds alone. Especially that one he snatched from the 7 foot Dirk and laid it in. If Rondo ever gets all his point blank layups to fall, he will be a serious threat for teams. A lot of that is he gets fouled and gets no calls. Credit P2 for setting the second half tone and Ray for getting us started in the first half. Posey gets love for his clutch FT's and the last steal. Gotta find out why the refs hate Rondo tho.

haha don't forget Ray was on fire in the first half..Guess you could say Ray started the game for us, Pierce kept us in the 3rd and Rondo finished the game off along with Posey getting those steals and great plays...Maybe there should be a team option

[findawgg]

This was such a collaborative effort on the defensive end.......my vote is a write in for Coach Tom Thibodeau.

I loved Rondo's put-back late in the game. Major highlite! ! !
I liked Ray's ticked-off energy to start the game. He should be left off the All-Star team more often, for our teams sake.
EVEN THOUGH HE SHOULD BE ONE OF THE ALL-STARS.
We all know he is...

Yes, Ray Allen is still a all-star caliber SG. But, if we're looking statically does he overshadow the other Shooting guards in the Eastern Conference? No. He does not. 18.2pts 42% FG doesn't fulfill the requirement for spot on that roster. RIP, Billups and JJ are having better seasons then him and can't really use Celtics record to distinguish Allen over those other players.

I'm surprised that no one picked James Posey. He hit big shots for us when we needed it. He also made big defensive stops including the game ending steal. Props to Rondo, though. The offensive rebound was huge.
