I can't believe how severely the Pacers are out-rebounding Boston: 32-20. Troy Murphy has 10 already.... Troy Murphy!!
Yeah, one of the best rebounders in the league.. go figure!
Why exactly people assume Murphy is a bad rebounder?
Because he has a reputation for being soft, that's why.
The guy's a walking double double. How does that make him soft? The guy's always in the paint banging around.
Yes, he is a walking double double, and yes he always has been good at rebounding. I was hoping Perkins would outrebound him.
And yes he is known as being soft -- or at least being unathletic. Trust me, people in the Bay Area were happy to see him traded away from the GSW.
And no, it has nothing to do with race.
