i'd have to split my vote 50-50 b/w ray2 and pose.

ray2 i thought had a very key offensive board late in the game when we bricked. that was very crucial. he wanted the ball too goin 1-on-1 vs the machine. wow way to step up ray2. he felt confident if he didnt get a good look or drive that the sasha girl would put him on the line for 2.

From our most banned endocrynoligist

"PAUL LED THAT COMEBACK WITH 14 TOUGH POINTS IN THE SECOND HALF, SIMPLY INCREDIBLE D ON KOBE THE ENTIRE SECOND HALF, GOING TO THE HOOP TO FORCE FTs DOWN THE STRETCH, ACROBATIC AND 1 LAYUP. AND RAY WAS THE RAY ALLEN I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR IN THE PLAYOFFS. PHENOMENAL GAME!! POSEY AND EHOUSE CLUTCH AS HELL. I LOVE THIS TEAM. GREATEST COMEBACK IN NBA FINALS HISTORY. ONE MORE. ONE MORE. PAUL AND RAY ARE MY CO-CIGAR WINNERS. PAUL IS GOING TO WIN THE MVP."

You should see the impact of Eddie House. He, together with Posey really spread the floor.
I will never become a fan of Rondo. He is just underdeveloped to be a decent good pointguard. His total lack of shooting ability is dramatic. Lakers sucked big time in the second half.
Congrats for the comeback though from a Phoenix fan:p.

Posey deserves an honorable mention if I've ever seen one.

I worked late and had to watch the replay. I agree with your post. Ray was the man, but Posey made a much needed 3 down the stretch. I am a Denver fan and I have always liked Posey's game on both ends of the floor.

Congrats on a great comeback. You guys are pretty much in the drivers seat now and control your own destiny. I loved watching the enthusiasm that Pierce was having once he knew the game was yours. If anyone deserves the trophy, he does IMO.

Do you guys want to close it out in 5 or would you rather take it on your own floor? Of course you want to take it in 5 if you can, that was a dumb question.

Paul's 3rd quarter play sparked the comeback. Posey and House brought passion and delivered on open looks. Ray was the most consistent guy out there. But his matchup is my favorite:

The job KG did on their front court in the 2nd half was remarkable. More so defensively, despite picking up his offensive game as well.

TOTAL TEAM EFFORT.

WOW!!! AMAzING!! WOW!!

Paul for his lights out D on KB24 and scoring at will in the 2 half. Allen for being the most consistent through out the whole game. I will say RAy. I'm working on 4.5 hours sleep here. hopefully this message makes sense.

Despite the lip-service your hearing from the Laker brass during the postgame, everyone else (read as the typical Laker homer radio station) is describing this as the type of loss that a team cannot recover from.

I've been out here a long time and this feels great.

I agree. I went out wearing my Beat LA shirt tonight and got all sorts of looks. **** fantastic! Anyhow, I gave it to James for nailing those clutch 3s. Hell of a game for KG, Pierce, and Allen, but James started raining in 3s down the stretch!

Wow with a comeback like that you need lots of victory cigars. I went with ray he played great - I think all the attention sasha was getting last game got to him. One more to go.... good luck!!!

Gaah! How can I pick just one guy?

After considering Scalabrine, I went with Ray.

Pierce led the comback and shutdown Kobe, so he gets the cigar.

Allen kept them in it, but Pierce put Kobe on lock-down.

Total team effort.

But I gotta go with Ray "Ironman" Allen.

pierce's defense on kobe is what won us the game.

kmgarnett21 · Post #77 » by **kmgarnett21** » Fri Jun 13, 2008 4:37 pm

pose, ray & pierce should ALL get cigars IMO....do it. first time all year more than one player gets one, & they all three deserve it. they all contributed equally & w/o any of them, there's no way we win the game.

how bout we have a poll to vote on a three way tie for this games victory cigar. it deserves a three way tie. it was the biggest comeback in finals history!

posey was great but a cigar not exactly

should be Ray and Pierce, consistency for Ray with big plays
Pierce on defense and stepping up

What an awesome game... I just wanted to add like a "Hell yeah!" or something, because that game was amazing.

Congrats and good luck! One more game in L.A., it'd be sweet to close it out there.
