Posey IMO is the MVP of this game. Due to foul trouble and Perk going out they were forced to play small, but Posey sure made the Lakers pay for sagging down low. That three at the end was the dagger reminiscent of Sasha's  in game 3. Those 18 points at crucial times along with his tough defense made all the difference. If he hadn't stepped up we are sitting at 2-2 right now. Let's hear it for the biggest free agent signing of the past offseason! Experience and ice water in that man's veins is understated.

Posey's shot was the biggest of the game. Shot clock running down with a slim lead. A miss and the Lakers have a chance to tie or take the lead back late in the game. Posey pushes it to a two possession game. If my wife and kids weren't sleeping, you guys would have heard me screaming all the way from Wisconsin.

Posey really stepped up no doubt, he has more than proved his worth this season. What a great player.

Absolutely.  He played well even when we were playing like crap.  He came in early in the fourth with 5 fouls and was still there in the end to hit that huge 3.  Him and Eddie were the X factors, Ray put us over the top at the end.  Wow.

Huge. Posey's shooting was phenomenol. love his attitude all along, love his game so far in the finals. just huge, clutch 3's. You could even see them going in from the moment of release, no doubt.

I've gotta give it up for posey. I've been critical of him in the playoffs, playing defense with his hands, not his feet, but tonight I'm all in. GO POSEY!

This is running through his veins!

i knew he was a good shooter but i never knew that he was that good. Posey was huge. I guess we have to give doc credit for his love for playing small ball, Posey was great at the 4.

Amazing game by Posey.  Not only was his shooting a huge part of the comeback, but his defense on Odom in the second half went a long way to turning the tide as well.  Odom killed us in the first half, but once Posey got on him, he completely disapeared from the game.

If KG is the heart, Pierce is the guts, and Allen is the cool intellect, Posey is the backbone of this team.

You ever notice how he is especially good when everyone else isn't playing well? That is what makes him a champion.

Posey was huge.  But it really was a great team effort.
PP on Kobe, plus PP hitting nice shots.
Ray Ray so consistent.
House!
KG, the quiet leader on D, and the D is really what everything else flows from.....
kudos to Doc for keeping the team poised.
heck, kudos to Danny Ainge!

Man, I am so happy right now !!!
