C’s Posey a threat behind arc</p> <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> <span class="articleBegin">B</span>y the end of the fourth quarter Sunday in Toronto, Tom Thibodeau finally understood - if he hadn’t before that point - why James Posey is so fanatical about working on his 3-point shot after practice.</p> The Celtics swingman, playing in his first game of the season during a 98-95 overtime win over the Raptors, pulled up to bury a pair of vital treys. Without Posey’s efforts from beyond the arc, the C’s probably would not have survived a late Toronto surge.</p> “His 3’s were daggers,” said Thibodeau, the Celtics associate coach who ran the team while coach Doc Rivers flew to his hometown of Chicago upon news of the death of his father. “When you’re watching him rise up to shoot, you know they have a good chance to go in because he’s already done his work.”</p> Few players wring as much sweat out of practicing 3-pointers.</p> “It’s all just a part of practice for me,” Posey said. “I want to be able to shoot the ball with confidence in that kind of situation, and it works here because we have a bunch of unselfish guys.”</div></p> He might win the 6th man of the year award.</p>
I think that honour will goto Jason Terry, unless he gets moved back into the starting line. Infact, unless he does, I don't see how anyone would contend for that award except maybe Cuttino Mobley. Terry has the freedom to take pretty much as many shots as he wants when he comes off the bench for Dallas, and he shoots at a high efficiency.</p>
If he stays as a 6th man, Terry will win, I agree with that, but I think in a month or so he'll be in the starting lineup.</p>
