Who was the overall MVP vs Bulls? (poll)

[Tr1boy]

For games 3 and 4 goes to IT4... Game 5 AB...but overall the mvp of the series was Horford imo

he was fantastic....  he did everything on the floor if you think about it

[MJohnnyboy]

Horford. The man was consistent and did a great job shutting down Robin Lopez after game 2. This how I'd rank our guys in this series.

Horford
Bradley
IT
Crowder
Smart
Green
Olynyk
Rozier
Jerebko

[max215]

Al Horford.

TP for the question. My first thought was Horford, but after thinking about the defense that Bradley played on Butler I've gotta go with Avery. AB being able to cover up a position (SG vs SF) allowed us to go small and move Green into the starting lineup without getting burned.

I'd vote Bradley and Horford co-MVPs if I could

[BudweiserCeltic]

Gerald Green

Rondo getting injured

Rondo getting injured

Nope..... he is garbage

[SHAQATTACK]

Gerald Green

Agree

He took it to the those fools

[LilRip]

No love for IT? I thought his constant penetration really opened up the floor for everyone. He didn't score a ton of points all the time but I thought he kept making things happen.

The awards I'd give for the series are:
MVP: IT (runner up: Horford)
MIP: Gerald Green (runner up: Canaan)
6thM: Smart (runner up: Olynyk)
ROS (rookie of the series): Zipser
DPOS: Bradley (runner up: Butler)

[Chris22]

Brad Stevens

I hope this is a joke.

I personally think it was Bradley. Horford a close second.

Our heartbeat was IT.

Gerald was the guy who stepped up big.

Brad was sensational having to deal with the emotions and falling down 0-2 going on the road, making the gutsy lineup change.

Things looked scary just 10 days ago, but they came together as a group and showed who they are.

[Hank Finkel]

Rondo getting injured

I hope this is a joke.

It did help. Rhondo was playing very well in those first two games.  Bulls 0-4 without him...hmmm

[Future Celtics Owner]

Rondo getting injured

Nope..... he is garbage

We will never know.
Let's say at the least RR (playoff RR) gave the Bulls extra length in the back-court and would have gotten extra possessions for his team, either from steals, rebounds, or causing problems for us defensively(RR-Wade-Butler could all switch) forcing possessions/ shot attemtps that were bad/forced.
CBS would have eventually done what the HEAT did in the ECF and slump on RR, forcing him to shoot, and pack it in.

The MVP was Isaiah, and it's not really close.  He had every reason not to play, but he did anyway. And we can be certain this series would've been over quickly without him. 

Like others, I thought Bradley and Horford were both really good. Celtics needed them to step up, and like hard-working vets that take the game seriously, they did exactly that.  Lots of guys made surprisingly solid contributions too, like Green, KO, and Rozier.

Great series, and on to the next one. Bradley and Smart will have their hands full, but they'll be up for the challenge.
