Bu-Bu-Bu-Bu-Bu-Bu Big Shot Rob

[timvp]

Did he just make the Hall of Fame?

[samikeyp]

not yet....one more ring should do it.

Oh and Blaze.....I busted out the Lakers Suck shirt. :)

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Yep.

[prrao]

I think he did.

Edited. If the Spurs win it all this year.

[stéphane]

YES.
I haven't seen such a performance for a while.
The guy was Jordan-esque.
Unbelievable.

[constantstate]

there was another thread that asked that... and i think so too. i dont think theres a guy who's ever come up big in playoff games like that who isnt in... no one. he needs to be in the HOF.

[slayermin]

I would freakin' vote for him, if I had a vote.

How does he do that?

[TwoHandJam]

Probably Horry's best postseason performance. And that's saying a lot.

[catydid]

Robert came through like we hoped he would. And this was the best game of the series so far. This was exciting! Now to win on Tuesday!

[Horry For 3!]

Yeah, he should be in the HOF after he wins his 6th Championship.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Greatest roleplayer of all time, yeah, I think he should, but whether it happens or not, who knows?

Is his shoulder okay?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

NBA record (or maybe it was NBA Finals ?) for most points in a game after being scoreless in the first half.

[ShoogarBear]

Now isn't the best time to ask.

First the Spurs have to win the series, which is still a lot of work left to do.

Then, look at his career stats, 26 mpg, 7.5 ppg, 5 rbg, 2.3 apg. I can't think of anyone else there with comparable numbers.

Michael Cooper, for one, has a bunch of rings and better stats and accolades (All-Defense, etc.) and isn't in the HoF.

[xcoriate]

KC Jones a career 8th man made it to the Hall, with the following stats.

9 season average
7.4 ppg, .387 FG%, .647 FT%, 3.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists

Horrys season averages are better let alone his playoffs. I think the case can be made for him to be there and also for him to be the best role player ever.

[SPARKY]

Did Jones make it as a player or a coach?

[N.Y. Johnny]

Maybe Getting closer but thank the heavens that I won't have to hear Mason anymore. :pctoss

[whottt]

Rings and MVPs are the top two methods for making the Hall...

The list of guys with 5 rings not in the Hall is a short one...Kerr and Salley won't make it...Sally will never make it...some people actually do think Kerr belongs since he's the greatest 3 PCT shooter in NBA history and he's got rings...but I don't think he'll make it.



And Kerr can't even come close to matching Horry's playoff game winners. I don't think anyone can...maybe Bird, Magic or Jordan and that's it.

If he gets 6th ring? I don't think there is anyone that has 6 rings that isn't the HOF(that's eligible)...

And there's one other thing too...

Horry owns a shit load of post season records..

Most consecutive threes...

Single game steals record in the Finals...

Most 3 pointers made in the finals...

I am pretty sure he set a couple of records tonight.

This guy belongs in the HOF.

[baseline bum]

I never thought Rob would ever top scoring the final 7 points of game 3 of the 2001 Finals to win the game, but he owned this game. What a performance!

[ShoogarBear]

K.C. Jones is a good retort, but even though I think he's a weak HoFer, even he has a few more credentials than Horry.

He made it in as a player, but remember the HoF doesn't distinguish between college and pro careers. In college he played on back-to-back NCAA Champs and the Olympic team. As a Celtic player, he won 8 rings. They didn't have All-Defensive teams when he played, but if they did, he would have made at least 4-5 of them.

Maybe you were joking, but he also wasn't a "career 8th man", he was the Celtics starting point guard after Cousy retired.

[whottt]

I never thought Rob would ever top scoring the final 7 points of game 3 of the 2001 Finals to win the game, but he owned this game. What a performance!


LMAO man this one was very similar to that one...he busted out with the same type of dunk...it's amazing how you think Horry's game is figured out and then he just does something you don't think he can do.

Poor Larry Brown, he was on the other end of that one as well.

This was his greatest finals performance though...period.

[T Park]

Robert Horry is an amazing player.

If he gets number 6, there is no question he is the most clutch, biggest game player in the history of the game.


IMO, he ranks up there with Jordan, Bird, Miller, others.

[baseline bum]

I can't think of anyone else in another sport like Rob. I mean, lot of role players have had a magical moment or two, a legendary game, etc... but Rob's done it so many times.

[whottt]

The definition of clutch:

Having your highest scoring game in 3 years....and all your points are scored after the 3rd quarter...of the swing game of the NBA finals...

21 fucking points...34 years old.

There is no one more clutch than Robert Horry...

Did Jordan even put up that many in that amount of time once he hit his mid 30's? I don't think he did.

[ShoogarBear]

Rings and MVPs are the top two methods for making the Hall...

The list of guys with 5 rings not in the Hall is a short one...
Sorry, but you're never going to convince me that Horry belongs in the HoF when guys like Michael Cooper and Paul Silas aren't.

[whottt]

Cooper and Silas nutrode great franchises...

Horry's done it with 2 different teams and counting...and his selection of clutch shots kicks the living shit out of theirs.

I don't know about Silas really anyway...

I don't think Cooper is a better player than Horry though.

[T Park]

There is no one more clutch than Robert Horry...

suprised you didn't put Brent Barry in that list.

[whottt]

What's that quitter? I can't hear you through the walls of the bomb shelter.

[T Park]

I can't hear you through the walls of the bomb shelter.

I cant hear you with Shane Heal's dick in your mouth.

[SPARKY]

It wasn't Robert Horry who came through huge tonight it was Brent Barry and his 25 foot 'nothing but air' shot...

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

What's that quitter? I can't hear you through the walls of the bomb shelter.

Is there a way to add a countdown timer to the top of the board for TPark?

[T Park]

If the Spurs win tuesday im gone.


Settle down, your guy's anticipation is cute.

[whottt]

I cant hear you with Shane Heal's dick in your mouth.


Then QUIT trying...it's what you do best.

[T Park]

yawn.

Dont you have a fire pop thread to make?

[whottt]

It wasn't Robert Horry who came through huge tonight it was Brent Barry and his 25 foot 'nothing but air' shot...


Barry's shot didn't miss as badly as your immortal "game 4 is ours" thread...notstradamus.


baaselinebum>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> calling wins than Marcus Bryant.

[whottt]

yawn.

Dont you have a fire pop thread to make?


The next one I make will be the first...don't you have some more melodrama to entertain the board with, drama queen?

[Sense]

Robert Horry>Chauncy Billups

In Crunch time..

[ShoogarBear]

Yeah, but Horry and Billups on the same team would be wicked.

[crellis]

Bu-Bu-Bu-Bu-Bu-Bu Big Shot Rob

I loved the title of this thread - very appropriate.

But I have to say that I thought that their announcer (is it Mason?? - I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong!) was fantastic. I think that he likes his job!

[whottt]

Detroit owns us in announcers, pregame intros, video, and music.

[timvp]

Detroit owns us in announcers, pregame intros and music.

True.

[E20]

I have to give major props to Kori when she said that Robert Horry should be in the starting lineup. We won without him in the starting 5 but, she just nailed the proven winner and veteren leadership part.

San Antonio should put on more music from the 'Rocky' soundtrack.

[jcrod]

If you would of asked me in the first half, I would've said you're crazy. I was so pissed at him I wanted to call him overrated. But I've done a 360 and will agree with you. One of the most clutch performance I've ever seen. Great job Rob!

[ShoogarBear]

Yeah, I said he didn't have a 20-point game in him.

:lol

[Experiment2100]

I HATE Mason, love the pyro though.

[leemajors]

are you serious? mason is one of the worst announcers i have ever heard in my life. i would rather have an announcing tag team of al michaels, jim lampley, and brent musberger doing intros for every game i ever listened to than to hear that idiot again.

[samantonio]

Does anybody remember what Malik said on the 02-03 DVD? Something like - "No matter what happens, leave Shaq open, let Kobe drive, I'm not leaving Horry open."
Clearly "Sheed" didn't buy this DVD and it cost him more than $29.95.

[baseline bum]

Michael Cooper nutrode? Give me a break man.... we're not talking Devean George here.

[iminlakerland]

With the performances robert horry has had throughout his career he belongs in the hall of fame. Robert horry has single handedly broken millions of peoples hearts throughout his career.

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

Detroit owns us in announcers, pregame intros, video, and music.

Um... both Are Ya'll Ready for This and Final Countdown.... Suck!

The video intro is ok. But the whole, "Ready Detroit" and Ben Wallace knocking down a Spurs logo on a wall Will Smith spray painted as part of his Parent's don't understand video set is beyond lame.

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

Also, if Stan Kelly ever started trying to rhyme the players name with some corny shit like: "And from Wake Forest the man who be debuken, Ta ta ta ta Timmmmmm DUUUNcan." And not to mention turned the intro into some kind of childrens program with funny faces and weird twists on words like ME-CHIGAN. I'd shoot the man myself.

Although I agree. Stan Kelly is bad. Why not give that Crazy Lou guy the PA job?

[iminlakerland]

Sorry Mason gets on my nerves...

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

Sorry Mason gets on my nerves...

Wha wha wha wha wha wha what?

Don't frown and call me a clown, and I don't like what your basin' this on, because everyone I know loves Ma ma ma ma Mason!

[iminlakerland]

his act has gotten old. After a while it just becomes mighty annoying.

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

Without a doubt, the Bulls during the second threepeat had the best announcer/intro video/music in the history of the NBA. I don't know if it will ever be matched.

[Sense]

I don't like their announcer, but it hypes up a crowd..


I do however like their introduction music, and pyro aswell....

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

are you serious? mason is one of the worst announcers i have ever heard in my life. i would rather have an announcing tag team of al michaels, jim lampley, and brent musberger doing intros for every game i ever listened to than to hear that idiot again.


Can't be worse than that kid Denver has announce the lineups.

[ShoogarBear]

Michael Cooper nutrode? Give me a break man.... we're not talking Devean George here. Yeah, and Paul Silas was a key of the Sonics championship in addition to the ones he won with Boston, but I'm not gonna get into a whottt-spat.

[mattyc]

Greatest roleplayer of all time, yeah,
Testify my man!


Is his shoulder okay?
Good question. I've noticed him grab it a few times during the playoffs. Might need a cleanout come seasons end.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

I think Horry probably deserves a spot in the HOF. I'm sure if someone crunched the numbers they would find that his career averages in the last five minutes of a game are probably astronomical. With that said I wonder if he'll get that love from the voters.

And dear god I want to shoot Mason out of a fucking cannon and across the Canadian border and make those Canucks have to deal with his annoying ass. After hearing all the hoopla about this guy before game three I was actually kind of intrigued to see this guy at work, and I found myself changing the channel rather quickly. Maybe it's just that we Spurs fans are too "plain vanilla" to get it, but how on earth have the Pistons fans not got sick and tired of that annoying crap, risen up in an angry mob, and torn this idiot limb from limb?

[ObiwanGinobili]

I think Horry deserves a HOF spot, but I think his best chances of gettign it are a 2005 Spurs Ring.
Without it he'll just go down as a trivia question.

his Shoulder: I've seen him grab it all post season. As far as I know, from what I've heard, he has constant pain in one side of his body. Which sounds like a form of arthritis.. I don;t know the specific name of it but I do know that there is a type of arthritis that attacks one side.
At least he doesn't have anything to do durign the summer. He played well all this season.. I think he can keep it up for at least another 2, again, baring any major injurys.

I look at it this way - it gets the crowd hyped and that's why he's there.

I have to admit, I like the work whistle and the "time to go to work" from the Pistons on the videoboard.

[NCaliSpurs]

not yet....one more ring should do it.

Oh and Blaze.....I busted out the Lakers Suck shirt. :)


We busted out the Lakers Suck shirt too, for a little 2003 Mojo.

And of course, the same Laker giving us that Mojo then (think rimming it OUT in a game 5), makes them for US!

[CosmicCowboy]

Horry's shoulder is fixable...it's supposedly a bone spur type of thing that has been bothering him on and off since the all-star break...but at 34 he may decide that the risk/reward of surgery/rehab is not worth it...

and he just smashed Jordans record of playoff three pointers last night...damn I'm glad he is a Spur and hope he comes back for more next year...he can hang his jersey in my living room if they don't want it in the hall of fame and the SBC Center...

[spurster]

I think that shot was from the same spot too. Rattles and pops out in 2003, but rattles and pops in in 2005.

[SPARKY]

All glass in 2004 though. :depressed

[Taco]

I've got a book to help "Mason" http://www.nba.com/media/pistons/john_mason.jpg


http://www.stutter-no-more.com/book-small.jpg


BTW WFT is up with the name "Mason" is the dude trying to go Scoccer Player or what?

[Sportcamper]

I think Mason is awesome...I don’t know much about the guy but he is definitely very colorful & he gets that Palace pumped up...I like his Bu-Bu-Bu-Bu-Bu-Bu Ben Wallace introduction....

I wonder if it would have the same effect at Staples Center...Bu-Bu-Bu-Bu-Bu-Bu Brian Grant?.... Probably not...Even the fans at Staples Center would have to laugh at that one.... :lol

[MadDog73]

Also, if Stan Kelly ever started trying to rhyme the players name with some corny shit like: "And from Wake Forest the man who be debuken, Ta ta ta ta Timmmmmm DUUUNcan."

I cringe everytime Mason says Tony's name.

Pah-ker. Like welcome back Kotter? :lol

[ALVAREZ6]

Robert Horry is the man.

He saved our asses last night, if he didn't play, we would be done. Period.

That's really stupid.... mostly because you never know what could've happened..


We are beating the Detroit Pistons when we have our homecourt advantage..


Something the Lakers didn't do last year...


You got Lucky Last year with the .4


Enough said.

Man...you need to get a sense of humor. .4 sucked but the Spurs just rolled over and played dead after that and the Lakers kicked our ass...give credit where credit is due...

Excellent! I brought out mine after Game 4 of the Seattle series and they won the next two and then the first 3 against PHX. Didn't wear it for Game 4...know what happened there....and didn't get a chance to wear it for Game 5...I sweated that one but they won so I didn't worry. After Game 4 of the Finals....I knew it was time again...needless to say...it will be on come Tuesday. :)

[Ghost Writer]

I think with the next ring and leading the playoffs in made 3-pointers, Horry's credentials will get him into the Hall.

Special performers on the biggest stage should be deserving, even if he was not a perennial All-Star.

Big Shot Bobby

[ALVAREZ6]

Did you guys watch Horry's interview on ESPN??

"Robert, how did you feel after hitting the shot?"

"Well I was just tryin' to have some fun, people take this game way too seriously..."

:lol

Horry is a stud.

[Taco]

http://msn.foxsports.com/id/3703238_7_2.jpg

[whottt]

Shoggarbear...I am not really trying to argue with you here...

Cooper was a great player but I do think Horry is better.

FWIW, I agree that Cooper deserves to be in the Hall...but the fact that he isn't has nothing to do with whether or not Horry deserves to be there.

I don't know jack about Paul Silas' impact in winning titles, he was before my time and I can't recall ever seeing him play even in my dimmest memories...


But Cooper? He played on teams with at least 3 other HOF'ers on them...

Ditto Silas.

And does Silas even have 5 rings?

If Horry gets 6 that moves him ahead IMO.

It seems more like you have an axe to grind over who isn't in the HOF...

Artis Gilmore deserves to be in the HOF...so does Nique...

I am sure there are others....but I'm just talking about Horry's credentials on a stand alone basis...he belongs there IMO.

[smeagol]

Robert Horry is an amazing player.

If he gets number 6, there is no question he is the most clutch, biggest game player in the history of the game.


IMO, he ranks up there with Jordan, Bird, Miller, others.
One of TPark's last posts. Sweet! :lol
