Horse Murphy Rises Above

Troy Murphy may just be another potato eating fuck of a mick to his friends and family back in New Jersey, but to the Pacers, and fantasy owners like me (his real family), he is much much more.

Murphy has been primarily known as just a rebounding threat in fantasy circles during his three years in Indianapolis. Even at Golden State he had never averaged more than 15.4 ppg in a season. But it is Murphy who is taking on more of the scoring since Granger has been out of the lineup.

Including the game in which Granger was hurt in the first quarter (at Charlotte), Murphy has averaged 20.3 ppg, 14.6 rpg and 3.3 apg in his absence.

That was written even before Murphy's 19 point, 21 rebound explosion last night. It's plain to see that much like a horse* runs ragged for his owner, Troy lives to please his fantasy owners, for without whom he would probably be homeless, penniless, and frequenting dingy motels in Jersey, spitting out his Gatorgum to fellate traveling business men while reruns of Elimidate flicker in the dim light. That, or acting as a drug mule for the Irish Mafia; squatting in the bathtub and reminding himself, "You gotta work hard if you wanna be good," while shitting out plastic pellets of heroin, hoping none burst in his stomach on the rough ride over the border. Either way, thank God the man can rebound and shoot threes right?

Now get you're stupid face back under the hoop, Horse!
