For me, it would be Troy Murphy's almost travel-pass off the backboard to himself-tipshot.

Danny's buzzer-beater three in Phx with 0.9 seconds left.

Many plays changed the game, and while the game-winning shots are obvious choices, I'm going with the off-the-backboard for Murphy to himself. It make my brain implode upon itself.

Danny's dive for the ball against the Celtics where he lost his teeth. It was the home opener against the defending champions and Granger had just signed a huge extension. What does he do? He plays his ass off and dives for loose balls, knocking his teeth out late in a game where he could have sat for the ending. That was a symbolic moment for Granger.

I would have to say that my favorie play(s) of the season occured in the last game of the season against the bucks when Granger hit the 4 consecutive 3's to get the huge comeback and win the last game of the season. Even though we were out of the playoffs Danny played his ass off and I thought it was amazing. And Rush's 15 4th quarter points was impressive as well.
BOOOOOOOOM BABY!!!!!!!!.......ITS MILLER TIME.

Danny's drive and kick to Brandon Rush, followed by Brandon's coolly draining the three from the corner to give the Pacers a 112-106 lead with 33 seconds left against the Bucks in the last game of the seasons.

It's the one that gave me the most hope for the long term.
I have no idea what you're talking about, and clearly, neither do you.

I agree. Looking back that is just awesome. That was kinda like Granger said, "This team is mine. Good luck in Torono, JO." In 3 years Granger will say, "We are the champs! Woo! Now take me to my car so I can go into my crazy garage/batcave." (batcave is from an interview he did mid-season with pacers.com I believe)

.5 Grangers buzzer beater against the Suns

.5 Trophies tip in against the Lakers

Both equally impressive.
