In just the NBA Finals, who was the most important role player for Boston? They probably wouldn't have won the series had it not been for their just about every player who logged minutes in the series, but who was the most important?

Rondo: Key playmaker in Boston's first 2 wins, averaged 5 rpg and over 8 apg in Celtic wins
Posey: Huge role in holding down Kobe throughout series and made clutch 3s in game 4, averaged 3.5 3pg in last 2 wins
Brown: Underrated role in series with Perkins out and brought muscle in the middle to disrupt Gasol
House: Valuable minutes with Rondo out, helped spread the floor for Boston and helped keep Cassell off the floor
Powe: Not much of an impact other than Game 2, but was a major reason they won pivotal game 2 and helped expose Lakers' major weakness

Well, I'm not sure if you can call Rondo a role player anymore, so I'd say P.J. Brown

James Posey! For making that 3 consistently and in the crunch time and playing a great D on whoever on the lakers

[FLUR]

The point of role players is to come off the bench and work together so its hard to single it on one person. I would have to go with Posey though he played great D on Kobe when Pierce or Ray wasnt on him and the obvious fact of 3's. I also really liked house and PJ Brown, everybody was a factor.

posey...great defense on kobe and clutch 3's...

[snik]

I'm sure that Posey is best here

[enigm@]

Posey for his clutch 3's. Not for his defense on Kobe. Kobe just played like crap. Had nothing to do with Posey.

RONDOOOOOOOO, i love that kid, just remember to learn to shoot in the summer LOL.

[Blizzard22]

I'll say rondo just because you put him on the list...but since hes a starter, i dont think he should be there, especially since hes the fourth best player.

and i dont think pj should count because he joined when about 3/4 of the season was over, lol.

whoever doesn't say posey is a retard .
