Must - Rajon Rondo
- I don't care about Pierce's reputation as a clutch performer in big games (like the one tonight), Rondo is the Celtics' best player and has been one of the best playoff performers in recent history (just shy of Kobe). Rondo has put up more triple-doubles in his short playoff tenure than most players put up in their entire career. I expect this PG to put Boston on his shoulders tonight, and wouldn't be surprised by a 40+ PRA performance.
Bust - Russell Westbrook
- Okay okay, this is a bust of faith. Durant and Westbrook are my two favourite players and happen to be on the same team that is facing a 1-0 hole. And I promise that if they go down 2-0, I will choose one of them for Game 3 - as defeating as it will feel to pick one of them. My heart says that the Thunder will come back to win the series, but even my brain still thinks that they can win as well. But in the even that I am wrong, I think Durant is the better pick tonight because he is going to be relied on heavily for tonight's series-deciding home game.
