The game, in my eyes was dominated by one man (well, except the Cetics' Ray Allen who single-handedly kept them inthe game and allowed my team to win)...Jeff Foster.
For any casual NBA fan, you're probably saying, "Jeff, who?"
Foster has been around for over 10 years, first coming up with the Utah Jazz in the late 90s, but his game hasn't chabged much. This is not meant as a slam, it's meant as a compliment.
He's an under-sized big man who doesn't light up the stat sheet with gawdy numbers. He IS, however, an above average role player who can be counted on to go out and bust his ass.
I'd call him: the un-agitator agitator. He doesn't really get under the oppoenets skin too much. He just plays hustle defense, can hit a mid-range shot (something sorely missing more and more in the Association), get hustle and some cheap rebounds, go after loose balls, and play those old wiley veteran tricks.
He's a solid player I'd love to have on my bench.
