And maybe one of the worst was signing him in the first place. I can't believe how many teams gave him second, third, and fourth chances. The guy was a disaster.
what's the opposite of a glue guy?

Heh, maybe a repellent guy?

That final minute was nothing but a barrage of losing plays by both teams. Missed free throws and ridiculous turnovers galore. That was abysmal.

Series looks over. Nobody really playing excellent ball but Pacers are the better team.

Do you guys think kicking Bynum off the team actually had any effect? He wasn't really there or playing anyway. Was he somehow influencing their locker room? Can a guy who doesn't play at all really have that much negative impact on a team? It seems too convenient to blame their struggles on Bynum like that, though I acknowledge that his signing was a total waste of time and money.

(Surely he won't get another NBA contract at this point, right?)

how else do you explain the pacers gettting their act together? and that last turnover by lance stephenson (passing to a wizards player underneath the indy basket) came awfully close to match fixing.

and the play before that, where the supposed spot up 3 pt shooter (it was lance again) completely missed the george hill pass in dramatic fashion. why was he prematurely going to the basket when his job is to stay in that corner for a spot up 3?

There's your mighty opponent for the Heat. Sigh. I don't see them challenging the Heat. At. All.

.....and Hibbert came right back down with 4/2 on 2/7 shooting in 25 minutes - positively Frye-esque. :lol:

Daaaaaaang, Polish Hammer just demolished the Pacers. Good for him; he deserves it. I would love to see the Wiz pull off the upset if they could somehow win at home in Game 6. At least they've made it interesting.
