Ray Allen is runaway MVP of these Finals
bucksdiary.blogspot.com 6/14/2008 — I did a Win Contribution analysis of every player on both teams for every game of the 2008 NBA Finals. From that work three clear MVP candidates emerged, but only one of them is eligible for the award. The three entities most responsible for ...
Heroes and Goats from Game 5 of the NBA Finals
bucksdiary.blogspot.com 6/16/2008 — The Lakers kept the 2007-08 season going, as I suspected they might. The absence of Kendrick Perkins, and Kevin Garnett's foul trouble, allowed Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol to totally dominate the game, while my premature MVP Ray Allen stunk up the ...
Ray Allen was the real Finals MVP
bucksdiary.blogspot.com 6/18/2008 — By Win Contribution numbers ( what is Win Contribution ?), the MVP voting should not have even been close. The landslide selection should have been Ray Allen. Allen recorded by far the highest Win Contribution average for the NBA Finals at ...

Lakers Got Rondo'd in Game Six
20secondtimeout.blogspot.com 6/19/2008 — While Finals MVP Paul Pierce, Defensive Player of the Year Kevin Garnett and All-Star three point marksman Ray Allen clearly played significant roles in leading the Celtics to the 2008 NBA Championship, young point guard Rajon Rondo also made a valuable contribution to their title run, particularly in the clinching game of the Finals.
Celtics Four-Point Play: Banner #17 Edition —
Sports of Boston
I will devote the entire Four-Point Play to the NBA Finals against Lakers, which saw the Celtics win 4-2. I will analyze the play of MVP Paul Pierce, how the Celtics contained Kobe Bryant, why Phil Jackson kept starting Vladamir Radmanovic, and how the “numbers” played out in Game 6.
1. Paul Pierce was named MVP of the NBA Finals after getting 17 points and 10 assists in the ...

Mere hours after the Celtics 131-92 series clinching victory over the Los Angeles Lakers , Finals MVP Paul Pierce re-injured the very same leg he hurt during the first game of the series.

An Attempt at Recognizing Paul Pierce as the MVP —
Le Basketbawl
The overly obvious and predictable happened last night. Paul Pierce walked away with the NBA Finals MVP trophy. Of course many of you know my pick for the MVP (*Cough* Ray Allen), but also to many of you, my pick seemed completely unreasonable and bias. Hmm. Well here is my attempt to understand why Paul Pierce took home the gold after the Celtics won their 17th NBA Championship. (These ...

Boston Celtic's 2008 NBA Finals MVP —
andboo Sports
After an epic fail by the Los Angeles Lakers, the Boston Celtics are up 3-1 in the NBA Finals. With such a deficit, it is almost certain that the Celtics will win the series. The only question remaining is who on the Celtics team should get MVP honors.
The candidates are the Boston Three Party, otherwise known as Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen. All three players have been vital ...

The Hoop Doctors
June 13, 2008 – Dr. J-Water
When the NBA Finals began I stated that the key to this series was whether or not Kobe Bryant could defend Ray Allen. As Game 4 is now in the books and the Celtics are leading the Lakers 3-1, I guess the answer is no. I received multiple emails and messages from readers of The Hoop Doctors who thought I was focusing on the wrong Celtic player, as both Paul ...

NBA Finals 2008: Game 4 – Lakers have Stunning Collapse; Ray Allen is my MVP! —
The Hoop Doctors
June 12th, 2008 – Dr. Anklesnap
If someone told me this morning that the Los Angeles Lakers would be up by as many as 24 on the Boston Celtics in the first half of Game 4, I would laugh and say “quit playin”! If they then added to that statement that Kobe Bryant at half time would not have a field goal in that same game I would say “have you gone loco?” Yet somehow that was the case ...

What Would Oakley Do?
1. Ray Allen. The prohibitive favorite (in my mind) to be the Finals MVP had another big game last night as the Boston Celtics overcame a 24-point deficit to push the Los Angeles Lakers to the brink of elimination in the 2008 NBA Finals. Jesus Shuttlesworth scored 19 points (the same as Kobe), grabbed 9 boards, pocketed three steals, dished two assists and returned one shot to sender. In ...

June 16th, 2008 – Dr. Browntorious
Well it wasn’t pretty now was it? But a win is still a win, and the season is still alive for the Lakers. Unfortunately for Lakers fans all of those questions regarding Kobe Bryant’s offensive performance thus far in this series have still not been answered. He did improve on his performance in Game 4, however Game 5 was definitely not a tape Kobe ...

Tonight is the night, Kobe. This is the single biggest game in your career. You always tell us you live for these moments, well now it’s time to live up to the hype. Can Kobe Bryant perform when his team needs him most? So far this series Kobe Bryant has had only one good game, by “Kobe Standards.” Not exactly how most people, including Bryant, probably ...
