Role players having ridiculous playoff runs

[MoneyTron]

After watching Norris Cole lead Miami over the Bulls for two straight games , I've realized that the most frustrating and amazing thing in playoff sports is watching the random role/scrub going lights out for an entire playoff run. I don't think you can win a championship without it.


Name some of your favorite runs.

I think mine was Trevor Ariza in '09. Scoring 11ppg on 49% FG and 48% from 3. He couldn't shoot that well in an empty gym. Every pass Kobe threw him was almost automatic.

Ariza's Defense was the key.

In those playoffs, ehh, I don't know. Kobe ended up spending time guarding both Artest and Melo...his 3 point shooting was insane though. That offense was damn near unstoppable.

Tim Thomas ate well off that one year where he was going off. It happens every other year it seems.

This year its Nate Robinson...even though everyone knows he can play.

Daniel Gibson, I think in his rookie year. Had nikkas believing that Lebron finally got help in Cleveland.

Nate's current run is amazing.

Tayshun Prince in his rookie yearr. Pistons were down 1-3 to the Magic and Prince came in, demanded the ball and took over.
