Barring 6 straight double OT games....I bet this entire series topic gets 96 posts.
I'll watch it...because its NBa basketball and on. But good lord....
This is probably the worst series ive ever been aware of. Worse than Bobcats/Magic or that series in like 98 when the Clippers somehow made the playoffs led by like....Loy Vought, Rodney Rogers, and Brent Barry and played who I think was the Jazz.
This is worse.
360, but that is still pretty bad. A regular season GT between the Lakers vs Heat gets more replies.

Well, I don't keep up with the personal lives of current and former players, mostly because I couldn't care less about what they're doing off the court as long as they aren't raping little kids, killing people, or dealing drugs.

Wasn't there a time Murphy was considered a borderline all-star, or at least one of the most underrated players in the league, and the Pacers best or second best player? Now, though, getting Collison for him is definitely a steal.

I don't know about how he was rated, he always ****ing sucked as far as I was concerned. 6'10 4 trailing everything trying to spotup for 3s, giving literally no defensive effort so he can pad his rebound stats.
He was probably never better than maybe the 3rd best Pacer, for a year, after Granger and Dunleavy (who I'd loved to have kept at 2/7.5 that Milwaukee got him at). But yeah, he was the 3rd best player on the team 2 years ago. Troy ****ing Murphy. Give Bird his Exec Of The Year trophy already.

I was thinking of Golden State Troy Murphy. Similar numbers as the ones he put up in Indiana, but on a worse team. Even then, Jason Richardson and Baron Davis were the team's two best players. I just remembered there was a stretch of years where he was a 14-16 ppg and 10 rpg player.

Dude's the epitome of fugazi numbers. Fantasy hoops goldmine, real life bum. He'd put up 18/13 with like a -17 +/-. No actual in game impact. I loathe that dickhead.
Re: 2012 Playoffs First Round- Indiana pacers (3) vs (6) Orlando magic Series Thread
Darren Collison is 4th player since individual turnovers were counted in 1978 with 20 assists and 0 or 1 turnover in a playoff series.
Dude played pretty far above his head, but I cannot express how night and day he was this series from the regular season. I hope it's not a flash in the pan.

Indy can't be taken lightly. They're young, team morale is the highest it's been in 8 years, and they look hungry. If the Heat get lazy, you can expect them to lose at least 1 game at home before going to Indy.
