1/31 Victory Cigar - The C's in primetime 

Post#1 » by sully00 » Fri Feb 1, 2008 4:01 am

What a great effort all around, just so pumped to have won that game, it felt like the kind of game that would get stolen on some wild 3.

I am going with Rondo he was just a beast on the glass and defensively. But they can announce that Posey extension at any time.

Games like these make you want to award a 'Team victory cigar'. A lot of people doing a lot of things...

That's a tough one... Ray in the first half; Rondo for being a pest breaking down the Dallas defense; Paul for the 2nd half surge and Posey for the late D... hmmm... Going with Pierce.

I voted for Ray for coming out strong despite the flu and after having some struggles. But it could be 3 or 4 people.

HUGE win tonight. We beat one of the best teams in the NBA without KG - awesome.

Posey. No question. I LOVED how he got physical and aggressive with Dirk, keeping him on the perimeter and uncomfortable the whole game. It was beautiful. Nice to see some bullying win a game for us, as we've had a lot of finesse wins.

Gotta go with Rondo

Danny made an absolute STEAL at #21 and he has been all over this kid for YEARS.

I certainly wish I had two votes, Posey's defense and just all around game was so impressive, Rondo just put that thing to sleep and that offensive board and lay in was just highlight.

But great point overall sprash, I mean we aren't beating the Mavs without KG unless will play a pretty flawless game, besides Eddie having a kind of F'd up game I thought all around everyone played really well.

Rondo ripping that ball away from Dirk had to be the play of the game but Posey on the other hand played AWESOME D on Dirk All game long and got the Game Sealing Defensive plays. Im picking Rondo because he made dirk look silly.

Rondo led the team in rebounding tonight with 12 boards. The next guy (Piece and Perkins) had 6, which is also the number of offensive board for Rondo. He just attacked the rim relentlessly every time he had a chance.

Ray and Pierce are tied in my book for second with 26 points each.

Yeah, tonight there should be a team cigar. I voted for Posey for his gritty play, his clutch 3's, end of game FT's, his overall D, hustle...and that final steal. But I could just as easily make a case for Paul, Ray or Rajon. Heck! Tonight even Scal showed up big, not in the box score, but his defense was outstanding...same with Tony, House, not to mention Powe and Perk. A true *team* victory tonight.

No Posey, Dirk goes Bananas on us. Add in the game winning steal and free throws. Posey, in a land slide.

I'm really torn between Rondo and Posey. I voted Rondo, but now I'm leaning Posey. Just a great game by everyone. Fantastic to beat a team like Dallas without Garnett. Gotta be a confidence boost.

I went with Posey. I know Rondo had that key rebound and layup at the end but it was really Posey that impressed me throughout the game.

Posey was key, but if posey doesnt play we might still have won, others did a decent job on Dirk, I went with Ray, Ray kept us in the game the 1st half, Paul dominated the last 10 mins of the third, the 4th quarter was ugly, and Posey was really key in it, but was he more key then rondo? not really IMOP so I go wtih the one who had the impact for more of the game which was allen.

I went with Posey as well. He was amazing in the last few minutes of the game!
