NBA Finals Game 2 MVP Poll: BOS 103 LAL 94

[Redz]

It's been a dog's age since we had an MVP Poll, but I'm feeling festive after tonight's huge season saver in LA.

Ginormous performances by Ray and Rondo make for a tough choice for the top stop.  I'm going to give Rondo the edge here for the timeliness of his hugeness.  I'm giving the 3rd place to Big Baby for giving a ton of effort when it was needed in a big way.

Really though, there were a bunch of guys worthy of the last spot. 

My picks:

Rondo 3
Ray 2
Big Baby 1

[fairweatherfan]

The uber-rare 3 Rondo, 3 Ray.

[Who]

2 apiece for Rondo and Ray
1 each for BBD and Sheed

[Roy Hobbs]

I went Ray 3, Rondo 1, Rasheed 1, Nate 1.  If I was forced to pick who was more valuable, it would be Ray, so I went that way.

I probably should have gone Ray 2, Rondo 2, Rasheed 1, Nate 1.  Ray and Rondo were both huge, and Rasheed and Nate both gave us huge lifts.

Got to go with Ray; but Rondo saved it for him at the end. Rebounding was also a huge difference.

2 apiece for Rondo and Ray
1 each for BBD and Sheed

My breakdown too, but I think we need to be able to just vote "team" sometimes -- so many minor contributions.  Take TA's big steal.  Not enough to vote him a game MVP, but it was a major swing we really needed.  Pierce effort was quietly crucial.  And even Doc got on the floor tonight!!!

The uber-rare 3 Rondo, 3 Ray.

Yup.

[nickagneta]

Ray 3
Rondo 2
Nate 1

Without Nate's six minute stint to rest Rondo and Ray, Celtics lose this. He was the team's third star, IMHO.

[GreenFaith1819]

I got Ray and Rondo with 2 each, and Sheed and Nate with 1 apiece.

But great game from the Team!

I saw great RR, cant be early enought to see history with ray but WOW, 3 points to ray and 2 to rondo and the other one to this great man sheed that was rebounding like a madman on 3rd and 4th, full props to him
