Last night it was Eddie, tonight it was Big Baby stepping up big off the bench.  A very solid win for the C's over the Conference leaders on their home court.  Huge shot after huge shot by Big Baby who is playing the best ball of his young career and earning the lion's share of the PF/C minutes off the bench.

The Captain had the eye of the tiger tonight (holy feline references).  You could just see he wasn't going to let this one go. 

Great win.  Howard was a nonentity.

My votes:
PP 3 Big Baby 2 KG 1


If you need an explanation on the poll, make up your own rules and enjoy.

gotta go with Baby...he played great defense on a guy who is an automatic double double....scored 3 big hoops late in the game and was very physical

I gave Big Baby the three because he was the only one to even hit a field goal for the Celtics bench.

If it wasn't for him, we would have lost. 

Pierce obviously got the two, and it was pretty much a toss up.  But I feel that Ray, KG, or Rondo could have picked up some of the load if Pierce was off, not to say he didn't have a great game both scoring and pulling down boards.

Actually, I'm just looking for reasons to give Big Baby the 3, Pierce deserved it just as much. :P

next game it will be Leon. Eddie and Baby had their nights, its time for The Show to get out of his funk.

PP - 2
BBD - 2
KG - 2

All three were good at key times to keep Orlando down by 10 or so throughout most of the second half. It feels good to win a big game on the road!

Pierce did it all, including some fantastic defense, both individual and team.
Anyway, I think this qoute says it all:

Quote
The Truth led the Celtics in points.  The Truth led the Celtics in rebounds.  The Truth led the Celtics in assists.  Big deal you say?  Who cares you say?  I say that marks only the seventh game over the last two seasons, the New Big Three era, in which one Celtics player recorded the team’s highest total, or even shared the team high, in all three of those categories.  Yowza!  And know this sports fans, the Truth has done it five of those times.


Yes, Baby had a much needed good game and I give him and KG stars as well.  But he wasn't the MVP.  He was knocking down wide open jumpers mostly because of the hard work of Pierce & KG.

Pierce was busting tail lat night...You can just tell when he's going to impose his will and not let the team lose.  Last night was one of those times. 
Yup
