Game 7 MVP Poll: BOS 92 OKC 83

[Fafnir]

Solid win to beat the OKC to start the C's first big road trip of the year. The bench really was the key to the entire game, they started the run that got us a 20 point lead at the half, and they fought back when the lead got to 6 points and pushed it back to 15. Ray Allen plus 4 bench players won us this game.

The power forwards and centers also did a great job of clearing the glass tonight with a balanced effort. O'Neal and BBD both bounced back and Erden converted on 5 different scoring chances.

1 Jermaine O'Neal
1 BBD
1 Marquis Daniels
1 Semih Erden
1 Nate Robinson
1 Ray Allen

[Atzar]

One each to the Bench Mob, with the remaining two going to Rondo (double-double, and he frustrated Westbrook for much of the night) and Ray (provided the scoring punch).

Gave 5 votes to the bench.

2 for Glen Davis for being so consistent and reliable in this game. His ability to draw charges is becoming a very successful weapon on D. His two baskets at the top of the key after that 9-0 run were critical in stopping the Thunder's new found enthusiasm.

1 for Nate for hitting that ridiculous buzzer beater, and doing a solid job running the 2nd unit.

1 for Daniels for just playing well in general.

1 for Semih. Didn't really play that well on D, but was able to get great position on offense numerous times and draw some good fouls. Most certainly his best showing as a C.

1 for Ray. Ray was just being Ray.    

[Drucci]

3 to Rondo, 1 to Semih, 1 to Ray, 1 to JO.

[Spilling Green Dye]

2 Rondo
1 Ray Ray
1 KG
1 Semih
1 Marquis

I thought marquis played very well offensively.  While I appreciate the 1 charge Davis drew, and the two needed jumpers he hit, he was awful the first two quarters before that.

Good to see the bench as a whole do well, and I think they're finally utilizing nate well.  Nate needs some good picks to get open jumpers.
