Antonio Burks with the steal and nice pass to Posey for the basket and the foul.

Burks is playing really well.

how's posey doing? he seems very inconsistent this season. every time he has a nice game i wonder if he's back for good.

He's looking good tonight, on both ends of the court. But you're right. He's been really inconsistent. I'd like to blame it simply on the injuries. But plenty of people say he came into camp out of shape, with an inflated ego, etc. Who really knows.

The whole team looks FLAT!

Great win tonight.
Posey hopefully is ready to play with this intensity both offensivly and defensivly for the rest of the season.
