I still say Rip Hamilton drew a charge

[spursmartyr]

Prove me wrong, how is that not a charge? :eyebrows

....... wut?

I love how I knew what you meant instantly. I love the crowd's reaction to that call.

[Texas_Ranger]

Even if called, it doesn't change the outcome of that game tbh.

[spurraider21]

As announcers like to say, it was a bang-bang play. Pretty sure rip was still moving once horry left his feet

[lmbebo]

he turned his shoulder into Horry and didn't take a full on charge.

[swaggerjackson]

This is something that bothers me tbh. Rip has both feet in the air when the contact is made. That is a good call in my opinion. In today's game they are so lax about being set while taking a charge. Today Rip would get the call, but if you read the rules literally virtually all the charges they call today are incorrect. Bring back the toughness, physicality, hand-checking, hard fouls, and in this case shot blocking. I wish we could see people go up for a block rather than run in the way and fall down.

Rant over

legendary horry

[deibero]

what? 3pt play instead of a charge in a 1pt game? r u kiddin?

[Spursfan092120]

He hopped right before Horry hit him..not a charge...thanks anyway.

[baseline bum]

Damn I love Rob, stealing titles from both Detroit and Phoenix.

[FromWayDowntown]

However you view that play, Steve Javie had some major, major stones to make that call in that arena in that circumstance.

[FromWayDowntown]

Here's the proof that it wasn't a charge:

1:25.0 R. Horry makes 2-pt shot at rim +2 93-95
1:25.0 Shooting foul by R. Hamilton 93-95
1:25.0 R. Horry misses free throw 1 of 1 93-95

Stern conspiracies aside, I always wanted Salvatore at home and Javie on the road.

[hooperflash]

Rip with the bunny hop at the end lol. No charge.

[Spursfan092120]

exactly

[Sean Cagney]

We won the game, but RIP had a HELL OF AN O FOUL at the end of the game! He nearly took Tony's head off with that elbow to clear out! Pistons fans bitched but that was a clear O FOUL NOT CALLED! THANK GOD He missed.

[Leetonidas]

It's cool, he elbowed the shit out of Tony in OT and didn't get called for it. Plus Horry missed the FT anyway :lol

[mosdef17]

Rip turned his body slightly as it looks like he was bracing for the contact... Once you do that it's nearly impossible to get the charge call. He may have been .00001 seconds late in getting to the spot. All in all, I think it was the right call. It's a bang bang play, but it's MUCH easier to argue it as a block than it is to argue it as a charge.

& Dan Crawford always & Joey Crawford never.

BALL DON'T LIE.

As an aside, if the ball don't lie, what does someone making 1 out of 2 FTs mean?

The ball doesn't lie, but it stretches the truth.

[sananspursfan21]

what point are you trying to make with this thread? Are you trolling?

[gameFACE]

Damn, I miss having a bigman with some nuts and chutzpah. Horry was so fucking cleverly mischevious.

As for Rip, his feet weren't set. Especially his left foot. Just go frame by frame.

[EVAY]

It means the ball is unsure.

Best part of the whole video is the noise the crowd makes as Ginobili gets trapped and they realize it's Horry wide open for the trey.

[Horse]

Oh I have an idea FUCK RIP HAMILTON!!!

Noone came up with the correct answer: a half-truth.

:lol

My general impression was always that Salvatore would bend to a home crowd and Javie never would.

Also, 36 fouls on each team in that game. Too bad that version of the Spurs couldn't make their FTs.

[timvp]

^That's the first game I think of when I think of Salvatore. The ol' free throw contest in Game 1 of the 2003 WCF that could have cost the Spurs the series. Mavs miss their first free throw and then go 49-of-49 :lol

10 of those Spurs free throws were from intentional fouls on Bowen in the second quarter, so it was hardly an even whistle.

[KaiRMD1]

You know, when I saw it originally, I always thought the wrong call was made. I'm too lazy to look back and see if Rip's feet really moved but initially, I thought a charge should have been called

[Mel_13]

10 of those Spurs free throws were from intentional fouls on Bowen in the second quarter, so it was hardly an even whistle.

As I said, it was an impression formed over the years. My impression was that he could be influenced by the crowd, whereas Javie called the game the same way regardless of location.

It's not surprising that there are games to be found that don't fit that impression.
