Hawks have no business losing this game, with that said, I wouldn't be shocked to see them choke it away.

The worst contract ever is the Pacers giving a MAX Deal to Austin Croshere.


...and this thread is awesome.
Oh man, I forgot Austin Croshere! That series against the Lakers was what got him paid, wasn't it?

Yes. He averaged like 15 a game in the finals. Like 6 games of good play and they gave him a MAX DEAL!!! I dont even think he was all that great in the playoffs until the Finals lol.

Seriously, go look at his numbers (even those playoffs) and tell me he isnt the most overpaid player ever. Guy got 127 million for 7 years I think.

I'd still list Gilbert Arenas as the MOP.

6 years 111 million

Only played in 40 some games, had 3 knee surgeries, and got in trouble with the law. Then, after the 3 knee surgeries, he lies to the Wiz FO about his knee so Nick Young could get more PT...

He was just fucked.

Probably true. But at least he was good. And paid for being good.

Maybe worst contract is wrong wording. Austin is the most undeserved contract. In otherwords...WHY did he get paid??? lol. Lots of bad contracts, but at least the guys were good to begin with.

Rondo just bumped a ref after a questionable call. Don't want to get off topic and talk about game 2, but Rondo likely will be auto-suspended.

So likely no Rondo, likely no Allen, and they are lucky to even be within 10 in game 1. Celtics in trouble?

Clippers 0 Grizzlies 0

On a side note ex-Buckeye Mike Conley is on the Memphis roster.

Chris Paul getting them open shots and they are hesitating, pump faking and getting closed out on. What are they doing?
