Official Horry Thread - Hope West get's better

[SPARKY]

mavfan likes him some violence.

Mav fan like that wrasslin'.

[Thompson]

Yep my anger has intensified toward the Spurs again. I'm almost tempted to root for the lakers over the spurs if they get to the WCF. Yeah I know most of the team isn't dirty but all it takes is one player for me to hate a team.

Why I do despise and hate is the fact that the crowd was chanting Horry for some reason. That had no place in the AT&T Center. I give a huge THUMBS DOWN :td :td :td :td :td :td To all the people who did that.

[SPARKY]

IMO, the Spurs fans did way more damage than Horry did tonight.

As has been repeated already, it was obviously a foul not strong enough to hurt anybody without a back that was already injured.

The 5-minute standing ovation Horry got after the spurs fans saw the replay just gave every other NBA fan (who already hates the spurs anyway, you know this) ammunition to cry conspiracy for the rest of the summer.

Because the NBA would love for a small market team to win its 5th title, with a Boston-LA Finals circle jerk reprise in the mix.

I apologize personally that the fans were chanting after an injury. That was shit. It was a clean body check but the injury sucks....I hope West gets back for a possible game 7.

On Edit: The gif since this turned into the official thread

It looks like a clean pick to the soft tissue of the butt that wouldn't have hurt anyone except someone with an already injured back.

Ditto from most fans here. Actually, if Horry had flopped, that would have been an offense charge. He threw himself into Horry's space. Still, it was very unsportsman-like conduct on Spurs fans at the game to cheer.:wow

[florige]

then have Ime do the same thing; Or bring in Bonner:toast



Man it figures it had to be Horry to be involved in something like this....:lol

[smeagol]

So many pussy fans, it's sickening.

Basketaball is a game of contact, sissies.

[Septic]

I just wanted to apologize to the Hornets fans on this board who have been respectful for the classless fans at the SBC center who chanted "Horry" when West went down.

I love hard basketball, and hard fouls are fine. But when someone gets hurt, that's never something to cheer for. Not everyone in SA is like that, and it was embarrassing to me as someone who always points to the Spurs and my city as having a level of class I'm proud to be associated with. That sucked on the part of our fans.
Damn, take their dick out of your mouth before you lick their balls will ya?

And there are like 2 Spur fans that give a shit about fans of other teams liking our team...and they are bandwaggon fans "that know how to appreciate all teams and good honest sports competition"...otherwise known as giant douchebags.





I personally have no respect for any fan of another team that likes our team...they are a gutless fan and clueless of the nature of sports competition...trust me, the players on your team don't find it inspiriational for you to go around propping other teams while calling yourself fan of them.

[SRJ]

What sucks the most is that Paul, West, and Scott will all imply through interviews that Horry's play was dirty.

[SPARKY]

If Horry had done that against any other player we wouldn't be on page 5 of this thread. That is a standard play and if West's back is that fragile then he shouldn't be on the court.

[FearDaFro]

Damn, take their dick out of your mouth before you lick their balls will ya?

Good to know ajh's attempt at diplomacy was all for naught....

[Johnny RIngo]

Utah is playing 5 against 8.

Doesn't matter who wins this series. Stern already has the Lakers booked for the Finals.

[SPARKY]

Good. Let them focus on the unimportant shit.

[50 cent]

I'd rather see West punch Horry in the mouth Kermit Washington style and put an end to his dirty bullshit.

We'll take that trade any day. I would love to see West punch Horry in the 1st quarter. Good trade for the Spurs.

You guys would have a valid point if Horry would had kneeled down as to undercut him or something. He just stood there setting a screen. It sucks that he got injured though.

[Septic]

We aren't going to change anyones mind about being dirty, you people might as well imbrace it.

Stay down West, you'll live longer.

[JoshO501]

wow all he did was set a good screen cause he thought ginobili was driving to the basket what was he supposed to do?

[FearDaFro]

Dude your sig is reallly getting to me.... Damn she is fine as hell!!! Biel that is.

[SRJ]

Good. Let them focus on the unimportant shit.

True enough, but the Hornets were going to get an assload of calls in game seven already. If public opinion lines up behind NO, the Spurs will only shoot FTs after defensive three second violations.

I'm afraid Horry's play might have already cost us game seven with the refs.

[ChumpDumper]

wow all he did was set a good screen cause he thought ginobili was driving to the basket what was he supposed to do?Put West on his shoulders so he gets a better chance at getting the ball.

[T Park]

All they chanted was Horry.

If you as a Spur fan, didn't like that, then turn your fucking fan card in bitches.

[mavs>spurs2]

So many pussy fans, it's sickening.

Basketaball is a game of contact, sissies.

What's sissy is intentionally targeting a back injury and trying to aggravate it and play it off cool. Every time I watch that replay I don't see Horry, I see a giant vagina in a #25 Spurs jersey sneak up behind West and set a moving pick.

[T Park]

Horry's play?

Horry did nothing wrong.

My god grow a backbone people.

[King]

After years of being talked about as the 'soft' team, I sort of enjoy all this 'dirty' talk.

[FearDaFro]

All they chanted was Horry.

If you as a Spur fan, didn't like that, then turn your fucking fan card in bitches.

Yes, I'm sure they were celebrating his 0 points and 5 fouls in 14 minutes....

Well a Maverick fan would know pussy players.

Except Horry has more juevos in his pinky than anyone on your team.

Back to sucking off Carlisle trolls.

[Bulwark]

WOAI Postgame: Walter Pasecreter saying Horry's foul was a cheap shot. Mike Taylor agrees. Walter goes on to say that the Spurs knew that West was having back problems and to go after West with a two hand push was a cheap shot. What a douche.

I suppose Horry should have backed out of the way because I am sure that when an opposing team's player is hurt the Spurs should be cogniscent and treat him with "kid gloves"

[fyatuk]

if West's back is that fragile then he shouldn't be on the court.

Speaking from experience, it's really hard to predict how a back is going to respond to anything. You can take any number of hard hits to it and it's fine, and then be incapacitated reaching for a glass of water.

West's problem has been stated a pinched nerve. It'll hurt like hell any time that nerve is tweaked, which might only be possible with a certain amount of stretch, a certain amount of twist, etc. Aka, while it's likely he was in a constant amount of pain throughout the game, re-aggravating it was just a complete fluke that no one could really predict and target.

[Septic]

I hate those 2 fuckers on the radio. One can't hang the other jixs us in game 6.

[2centsworth]

They were cheering that he knocked West down. Seeing West hurt should have silenced the crowd.

[Septic]

His offensive rebounds were pretty good.

Yes, he was very sneaky, stealthy just like the Pink Panther

You stupid Mav shit:lol

[whottt]

Hopefully this distraction will fuck with New Orleans head as welll as it fucked with Phoenix(and their entire fan base) last season :tu


It's a wonderful feeling pissing off an entire fan base like that....owning them...mentally.


Horry actually thrives on it...did anyone notice the look on his face as he bricked that threee rigth after the play? Yeah he missed the shot...


But the look on his face, that cold callous stab you in the back look...that's the Robert Horry I fucking hated when he played for the Rockets and the Lakers, and wished like hell the Spurs would bring him back...it's awesome he's decided to make an appearance this season :tu


Go Rob Go...wear that black hat with pride...you deserve the chants you get :tu


Doesn't earn his fucking rings....indeed.

[Hornets pwn spurs!]

Robert Horry is a fucking BITCH ASS FAG

[ShoogarBear]

All they chanted was Horry.

If you as a Spur fan, didn't like that, then turn your fucking fan card in bitches.

Can we get them back in a year?

[ChumpDumper]

Robert Horry is a fucking BITCH ASS FAGHe still won't date you.

[TDMVPDPOY]

why isnt west clapping his hands now?

[whottt]

Anyone that wouldn't want Robert Horry on their team...is an idiot.

If they grow a pair sure.

[cly2tw]

Wow. I though Spurs fans are knowledgable. Horry was leaning forward so much that he'd fall on his face without the crash with West! That's not his space! Knowing West's bad back, he decided to let West feel it where it hurt most and succeeded. He anticipated the impact all along and leaned out of his own position to aggrevate it. The foul itself is nothing excessive but the circumstance makes others fans call it "dirty".

[2centsworth]

[Biggems]

that wasnt a dirty foul. that wasnt a cheap foul. He was setting a pick on West to keep him from any opportunity of blocking Manus shot from behind.

Blame the Hornets for not telling him that Horry was there to set the pick.

I was cheering Horry and I will continue. West is acting like such a hotheaded, sissified punk. He is crying about everything and it is getting insane. I thought Duncan whined a lot, but he has nothing on West and even Paul.

The best thing about the Horry pick....we didnt have to see West whining for the remainder of the game.

GO SPURS GO

[ChumpDumper]

The foul itself is nothing excessiveWell alright then.

What are you bitching about?
[/thread]

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Robert Horry was setting a screen standing still. Anyone who argues otherwise is just a hater.

West should have gotten up and not been a wuss. His hero played with a busted vertebre for five years and the only time he'd go down is when someone knocked him out cold.

I'm sure West will experience a miraculous recovery and be fine for game 7.

hey Nones fan.......dont u have some crying to do.....now bugger off...leave this chat for fans of teams still playing...or fans of teams that know what Championship basketball is about.

[ChumpDumper]

Or "dirty"? "Cheapy"?No, you can spell it without those.

[whottt]

this washed up version doesn't do much for me, but the robert of old was a straight up assasin.



He's 10 times the assasin now he was when he was younger...now he's actually winning games before they are even played, with actions in the previous games...last year he won 2. And he's doing it in like single movements...one play in the course of a game.


I guess he finally figured a well placed and timed "shot" can be just as effective as a clutch three and takes even less energy...


There's a genius to what he does...

:smokin

[ChumpDumper]

He walked up behind West and leaned into that screen with all his weight.Yeah, he was just out for a stroll.

[mavs>spurs2]

Karma is a bitch. Hear this, Spur fans, game 7 will not bode well for you guys. Home team wins game 7 73% of the time, and i'm sure if you guys do manage to win there will be a retaliation foul. Good luck beating the Lakers without one of the big 3!

[T Park]

He walked up behind West and leaned into that screen with all his weight.

God Maverick fan, go on ebay and bid for some juevos.

Yeah those offensive rebounds, the defense, and his experience out there tonight was horrible.

did i say he was horrible? This Robert Horry is a shell of his old self. The dude use to come up with blocks, steals, boards, and daggers from 3. The offensive rebound sequence tonight was the best I've seen him in a long time.

[T Park]

\look at me, my team is practically in the lottery and im trolling a Spurs board

[SRJ]

These refs don't know what a legal pick is supposed to look like - see Chandler, Tyson.

That wouldn't surprise me either, actually.

Again, I don't think think it'll be because of Horry, moreso that the spurs fans were rubbing it in.

Especially a mentally unstable team like the hornets. I wouldn't rule out some sort of "thuggary" on their end towards tim duncan.

Mind you, I think that would be terrible, but I wouldn't rule it out, either.

If there is any kind of retaliation, though, I think it comes very early, not at the end of the game so you'll know right away if they plan anything.

I just get the feeling Horry's most subtle, harmless cheap shot in his entire career will be the one that comes back to haunt him.

[ChumpDumper]

LOL...they must really hate David West...he's got a long career ahead of him...and his propensity for getting pinched nerves in his back isn't going away.


Spurs weren't cheering West's injury...they were cheering Robert Horry...their player...they were chanting his name, they weren't saying anything about David West...fuck anyone that tells us not to cheer for our own players in our own bulding...


Horry>David West...


Deal with it.

[2centsworth]

You say hes a shell, then say what he used to do, wich is what he did...

Ok.

he had 2 good minute tonight, that's it. Anyways, don't want to run him down, because I'm a fan. I'll leave it be.

[Biggems]

Parker has been getting mauled all series....dont see any of u coming to his defense or criticizing the Hornets defenders.

But since it is en vogue to ride the Hornets jock right now....any success the Spurs have must come from the refs or dirty play.

Paul and West are punks. I wonder how good Paul would be if the refs treated him like Tony Parker. What if the refs didnt bail him out on every one of his drives. What if the refs allowed him to get knocked down to the floor on every drive and only call a handful of them. What if the refs called Paul for fouls when he made good defensive plays.......

West is a drama queen. I bet if the Hornets were winning big, he would have jumped up and been all rabid and rowdy and barking at the fans....but since he was getting owned all night, he merely laid there like the clown he is.

GO SPURS GO

[mavs>spurs2]

I can see it now. 5 minutes left of the clock in game 7, Spurs are up 18 this game is over. Just before Pop can pull out his starters, Duncan takes a vicious elbow to the temple from Chandler. He is carried out of the arena on a stretcher, the Spurs go on to win the game. Later that night we learn that Tim Duncan was pronounced dead at 11:05 p.m.

[timmydidit]

"Horry is Pop's hit man. You can be guaranteed he was sent in to do that. Duncan was taken out to ensure there was no retaliation"

He's going to be ok in game 7 - his team was being blown out of the court and he decided it was best to delay the game a little bit and play possum to get the hell out and drink some pepsi. all fake.

[O-Factor]

Yeah, West sold it a little more.

[bigfan]

Horry is a class act. It wasnt an intentional injury, he already had back problems. I agree when Tony got mugged the other night nobody said anything. Anyway, the best team will win Monday.

[duncan228]

I can see it now. 5 minutes left of the clock in game 7, Spurs are up 18 this game is over. Just before Pop can pull out his starters, Duncan takes a vicious elbow to the temple from Chandler. He is carried out of the arena on a stretcher, the Spurs go on to win the game. Later that night we learn that Tim Duncan was pronounced dead at 11:05 p.m.

:wtf "Pronounced dead?" Too far. A line no one should cross no matter what the circumstances are.

[ClingingMars]

seriously, ban mavs>spurs. we banned that hornets troll for joking that pop had cancer.

[ChumpDumper]

Just saying, If Melvin Ely happens to subtly slide his foot under Duncan's ankle in game 7, I'm going to ask you if you still feel that way afterwords.Ely isn't a Spur anymore.

[Biggems]

Karma is a bitch. Hear this, Spur fans, game 7 will not bode well for you guys. Home team wins game 7 73% of the time, and i'm sure if you guys do manage to win there will be a retaliation foul. Good luck beating the Lakers without one of the big 3!

You mean how the refs basically handed u the series in 06 with some questionable calls late in game 7, and gave Dirk everything that series on a silver platter........yet in the Finals, Dirk couldnt buy a call, nor could the rest of your team.....yet Wade shot nearly 100 FTs in the 6 games.....that kind of Karma?

Or how Cuban mistreated Nellie....and then Nellie too 8 seed Golden St into an upset over 1 seed (67 win) Dallas....that kind of Karma?

Or how the Hornets beat the Mavs in 5 games this year and got your coach fired....and your savior PG got abused by Paul....that kind of Karma?



If the Spurs lose game 7, so be it. They had a great year. And we can still celebrate those 4 NBA Titles. We can also celebrate the fact that we ended the Nones season again, and made it farther than the Mavs and Rockets.

If the Spurs win, we move on to the WCF again.....and move one step closer to that elusive repeat.

ban.. please?

[FearDaFro]

If he does it on purpose yeah I will be pissed, if it just happens on fluke which happens when players go for a rebound no!

Horry didn't do it on purpose!


My point is, if he does nobody here will be willing to accept coincidence any more than hornets fans are right now.

I thought Horry certainly did it on purpose. Did he intend to injure West? I doubt it, but he certainly leaned into him.

[T Park]

I hate to tell you guys this but Hornest fan cheered like motherfuckers when Bonzi Wells clubbed Bruce Bowen in the face...they cheered, they protested the call, they raised hell...while Bruce Bowen got clubbed int eh fucking face...


I'm with TPark..turn in your Spursfan card if you are going to throw players that put rings on your fingers under the buss...oversome bullshit class myth that hasn't existed since David Robinson retired...


Props to every Spur fan who supported Robert Horry tonight. He deserved to be cheered for his play :tu

I screamed at the top of my lungs

HORRY!!

:lol

That was greatness


The Bums got the chant going too!!

[vander]

there's no reason for horry to even take the court anymore, he doesn't make shots, and his D consists of fouling. even Bonner would be an improvement :bang

[ChumpDumper]

My point is, if he does nobody here will be willing to accept coincidence any more than hornets fans are right now.Since Ely has been hakcing players all series long, nothing would surprise me.

And it wouldn't make me not like Horry, so it's not a good question.

[Biggems]

ur avatar rocks........Penguins Rule

[FilSpursFan]

Go Horry!

[hitmanyr2k]

It's garbage. If some people would watch the play again without the dunce cap you would see Horry was only setting an improvised screen for Ginobili who was about to start a drive to the baseline. Horry figured he could block West from giving help defense on Ginobili's drive and set a screen. Nothing more. He was basically playing like an offensive lineman making sure his guy had a clear driving lane which I've seen done 100 times in the NBA. If any Hornet's player was in West's position they would have gotten the same screen. It's so obvious it's ridiculous how anyone could miss it.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

the funny thing is that the hornets fan arent trolling anymore .. its all now the lakers, sacramento, suns and mavs.. yes!! those guys who have 4K+ posts and who wait until today to throw all their hate on the Spurs in this forum..

we finally see for what they are..


PS.... how many FTs did parket shoot tonight? how many times did he get mauled?

[Trainwreck2100]

Just saying, If Melvin Ely happens to subtly slide his foot under Duncan's ankle in game 7, I'm going to ask you if you still feel that way afterwords.


what do you think would happen after that?

[FearDaFro]

If Duncan were to go down in game 7 and Hornets fans gave it a standing ovation, half the fans in here would be lining up to march over to new Orleans and burn it down, regardless if it was a clean play or not.

Just trying to create a little perspective.

so since NO has classless fans, we should be classless too?

Supporting Horry is knowing he did nothing wrong, but cheering when a player is hurt has never been our cup of tea.

Regardless, the cheering was wrong, but I was over it in a few seconds.

[CharlieMac]

I think West will be fine. The game isn't until Monday, after all. I don't think what Horry did was malicious, but the fans cheering is just disgraceful.

Yeah, I definitely agree on both. The Horry foul was not malicious at all, and the injury definitely sucks.

I was actually glad ESPN went to commercial immediately so the national audience couldn't hear that shit.

[SPARKY]

furthermore, if Duncan goes down in gam 7 and Hornets fans gave it a standing ovation, half the fans in here would be lining up to march over to new Orleans and burn it down.

What's left to burn?

[SpurOutofTownFan]

It's garbage. If some people would watch the play again without the dunce cap you would see Horry was only setting an improvised screen for Ginobili who was about to start a drive to the baseline.

we can find tons of videos of plays like that one every night

david west !=! tim duncan

chris paul is the only one who comes even close on the hornets.

[Johnny RIngo]

He's going to be ok in game 7 - his team was being blown out of the court and he decided it was best to delay the game a little bit and play possum to get the hell out and drink some pepsi. all fake.

What the hell was West even doing in there? Spurs were blowing 'em out, West was stinking it up all night, and, on top of all that, he was already playing with an injury.

[efrem1]

As long as the hit was clean I have no problem with it. I guess we can call him Horry McSorley now. Sorry about the chant; hope that doesn't happen again.

[NRHector]

He should be on the bench resting and not taking a fuck risk of getting hurt or get worst this are the playoff shit like this is going to happend, in the playoffs you separete the boys from the men, West is a grown he wanted to be outer, took a risk and lost but, he'll be back for game 7 :ihit

[whottt]

My point is, if he does nobody here will be willing to accept coincidence any more than hornets fans are right now.



Spurs would be sitting on about 7 NBA titles right now if not for injuries, infliced by players on other teams, as well as mother nature...


Go seek sympathy somewhere else

Or should I say...go ask for quarter somewhere else.


The Lakers didn't give us any quarter when Juwan Howard took Derek Anderson out...what they gave us was the worsst assking in WCF history and a bunch of rip their hearts out smack by Kobe Bryant...


Spurs learned to stop counting on karma a long time ago...and in case you didn't notice...Robert Horry creates his own motherfucking karma bitch...


So I suggest you go get in line with Danny Ainge and wait for karma to come back and get Robert Horry...


Dude has 7 rings...he's already kicked karma's ass.


PS: Be sure to say high to Steve Nash, Boris Diaw, and Amare Stoudamire while you are wating in the karma line...

[FearDaFro]

he was setting a screen so he leaned into him so what? I mean really you are really reading into this whole thing arent you?

Calling it an offensive foul is reading too much into it?

[ClingingMars]

If Duncan were to go down in game 7 and Hornets fans gave it a standing ovation, half the fans in here would be lining up to march over to new Orleans and burn it down, regardless if it was a clean play or not.

but you see the thing is that Hornets fans AREN'T complaining cause it wasn't really THAT bad a play.

if the same exact play happens to say manu, we should take a nod from the Hornets fans.

[SPARKY]

What the hell was West even doing in there? Spurs were blowing 'em out, West was stinking it up all night, and, on top of all that, he was already playing with an injury.

No kidding. It's a little too late to be playing for the experience.

Exactly. Some people sound like kids pointing the finger immediately when they do something wrong. If you have to resort to, "They did it too!!!!!!!!", then you obviously know it was wrong.

[SRJ]

Traditionally, when fans cheer an injury, they just get louder with a general cheer while the player lies on the ground (Michael Irvin for example). AT&T fans aren't exactly innovative, so I doubt they just made up a new way to cheer an injured player.

[FearDaFro]

does anybody ever listen to Whottt anymore, or does he just talk to himself now? It's been a few years, I'm not sure how he operates anymore.

[Spurminator]

I think Spurs fans were just glad to see a Spur deliver a hard foul for once, instead of taking the hard fouls without saying or doing anything about it. Nobody wants West to miss any time.

[Red Hawk #21]

Yeah Horry is an embarrassment these days. He has no game but makes his mark on doing hard fouls to key players.

This post is a joke

[T Park]

Exactly. Some people sound like kids pointing the finger immediately when they do something wrong. If you have to resort to, "They did it too!!!!!!!!", then you obviously know it was wrong.

[FearDaFro]

If you can look at that play and not at least concede that it was an offensive foul...there's really not much else to discuss. That's such a homer opinion it makes laker fans look unbiased.

[SequSpur]

you guys are fukin homos.

[Kori Ellis]

I don't think that Spurs fans should apologize for cheering Horry because I think Horry committed a good hard foul. I don't think his intent was necessarily to hurt West.

However, I did think it was crappy that not many people in the arena clapped when West got up. I think that in the name of sportsmanship, you should acknowledge when a player gets up off the floor after an injury.

That being said, Tony Parker has taken harder shots in the Suns series and in this series than Horry's hit on West. If West's back was so fragile that he went down that badly after Horry's foul, maybe he shouldn't have been playing (especially when the game was already over).

[Spurminator]

If you can look at that play and not at least concede that it was an offensive foul...there's really not much else to discuss. That's such a homer opinion it makes laker fans look unbiased.

It's certainly debatable. Jeff Van Gundy mentioned it could have been a no call.

I don't have a problem with the call but we've taken worse.

[SRJ]

If you can look at that play and not at least conceede that it was an offensive foul...there's really not much else to discuss. That's such a homer opinion it makes laker fans look unbiased.

Compare Horry's screen with Chandler's Dancing With The Stars routines and you tell me which is more of a foul. You're unbiased.


fuck you for joking about Tim Duncan's death.

He wasn't joking. His ass lips were getting all tingly and moist while thinking about it.

[YoMamaIsCallin]

Are you freakin' kidding me? It was a perfectly legal backpick. Horry was standing still, not moving. He leans into him a little bit as the blow comes, but that's natural. It was no more, no less than 100 picks that are set in a game. It was a very gentle collision.

If you want to be angry at someone... be angry at West's teammates for not calling out the pick! And be angry at Mr. Coach-of-the-Year, Byron Scott, for leaving West out there with the scrubs when he KNEW that West had back problems! Why didn't he sit him down as soon as the Spurs got up by 18?

Should the Spurs not play basketball in all its dimensions because a player on the other team has a bad back? Why?

[angel_luv]

The crowd did cheer for West when he got up.

[Kori Ellis]

The crowd did cheer for West when he got up.

Not very much.

Far more people were cheering for Horry's hit than when West got up.

[century]

I apologize personally that the fans were chanting after an injury. That was shit. It was a clean body check but the injury sucks....I hope West gets back for a possible game 7.


Horseshit. This is playoff basketball and only the strong survive. I hope West is out for the season, it is only a few days anyway for the Hornets.

GO ROBERT HORRY!!!
GO SPURS!!!
Fuck the Hornets, their fans and their families.

[angel_luv]

Not very much.

That is true.

I didn't think West was really hurt.

He seemed to be milking it for calls all night so I thought it was more of that, that we were getting.

[SnakeBoy]

Just saying, If Melvin Ely happens to subtly slide his foot under Duncan's ankle in game 7, I'm going to ask you if you still feel that way afterwords.

I have alot of respect for the Pistons because they never play physical and would never even think of using a hard foul on anyone. Sweet innocent angels they are.

Does anyone remember losing our second highest scorer Derek Anderson to a cheap shot from hmmm what team was that?

Suns fans were cheering when Shaq laid out TP. Luckily the suns, as always, were too stupid to do anything physical until after their fate was sealed.

NOH have used plenty of hard shots this series. So they really can't complain. If they do then they will be following the lead of the mavs and the suns. I don't want to see yet another whiny ass team emerge so I hope they can handle playoff basketball.

Also I am totally shocked that some people cheered. I always thought every person in SA was an angel. What's next, are we going to end up with some areas of town that you can't walk around in at night.

[YoMamaIsCallin]

If you can look at that play and not at least concede that it was an offensive foul...there's really not much else to discuss. That's such a homer opinion it makes laker fans look unbiased.

In a normal situation, where there's no player falling down and injuring his back, it is absolutely a no-call. Hard picks happen all the time. And that one wasn't particulary hard.

[FearDaFro]

still waiting on you to change my tagline, kori...I sent you the PM you requested

[ElNono]

I apologize personally that the fans were chanting after an injury. That was shit. It was a clean body check but the injury sucks....I hope West gets back for a possible game 7.

On Edit: The gif since this turned into the official thread

It looks like a clean pick to the soft tissue of the butt that wouldn't have hurt anyone except someone with an already injured back.

The day Spur fans stop cheering their players for smart plays is the day Spur fans don't deserve their team.


This team isn't dirty...and Spurs don't now, nor have they ever cheered the injury of another player...


IF David West had been up in the air and been horse collared by Robert Horry or something...you wouldn't have seen any chanting.


What you saw was an already injured player being taken out on a routine play and Spur fans supporting their player for his play.


It wasn't even hard foul...it was a routine basketball play, albeit a pretty smart one...and the fans letting Horry know they had his back.

And you know what? If Robert Horry was going for his back on that play...more power to him, if West is that injured, he needs to get off the court.


I just wish Parker getting hammered bothered you half as much as Spurs fans cheering one of their own players.

[timvp]

I haven't read the thread yet but here are my initial thoughts:

Did Horry know what he was doing? Of course. This is Robert Horry. He's forgotten more about playoff basketball than the entire Hornets team knows combined. You have a gimpy player flying back into your space, you don't move out of the way.

Was it dirty? Eh, not really. It was a borderline foul. The only reason why it got blown up into something more is because West's back is bothering him. But same things have taken place throughout playoff basketball. If Duncan had a bad back, the Hornets would be throwing all types of shots at him.

Speaking of which, the Hornets have gotten in about ten times as many cheap shots this series than the Spurs. That was probably the first even borderline hard foul the Spurs have done all season. The Hornets have been fouling hard, flopping during dead ball situations and basically acting like azzes the whole series. If West isn't clapping in Oberto's face, Paul is getting up trying to fight Horry. Oh and Paul commits an offensive foul on about 50% of his drives to the basket. You don't hear the Spurs bitching publicly about Paul's continuous off arm pushoffs.

Smart, veteran move by Horry. The Hornets would have done the same thing ... repeatedly. Sure, I hope West is healthy for Game 7 but doesn't change the fact that Horry serving up some of their own medicine was understandable.

:tu Horry

And if the Hornets didn't want a physical series, they shouldn't be the ones fouling, barking, complaining and dead ball flopping all series long.

[CharlieMac]

Turn the card in.

Seriously dude? You got some liquid courage in you tonight.

I don't get into this much, but from what I read the past few years, you probably shouldn't be throwing around the "bitch" card.

Spurs are not dirty and I support Horry 100%. From my perspecitive Horry didn't need extra protection or support, because he didn't do anything wrong. That's why being respectful of a hurt player seemed like the right thing to do. Nevertheless, I'm not dwelling on this and could really careless what the world thinks of the Spurs. The play was normal to me. I've seen way worse. If this thread is about defending Rob then I'm 100% down for that program.

Is Bill Lambeeir's jersey retired in Detroit? If it is...you're a joke. A pathetic one.

[Biggems]

Mavs fans applauded guys like Najera,Bell, and Terry, yet condemn Bowen and Horry.......what hypocrits

Nones fans applaud Bell, yet condemn Horry and Bowen....what hypocrits.

Hornets fans condemn Horry and Bowen, yet they applaud West, Paul, Ely, Chandler...what hypocrits

True Lakers fans aren't saying jack. They know about Rob and his game. His game helped them 3peat. Also, they remember how rough the games were with the Showtime Lakers. It wasn't exactly powder puff basketball.

Spurs fans are praising Horry for a solid, clean, intelligent screen. The only reason West hit the floor was cause of his back injury. If he wasn't hurt, he wouldn't have hit the floor. Did they call the foul on Horry? If so, that is completely bogus, cause that was not a foul. That was a legit, low post, playoff screen.

[Warlord23]

Some of you are soft in the head. That pick from Horry wouldn't even break the top 25 if you made a list of physical fouls in this series. Parker, Ginobili and Duncan have been hit a lot harder than that multiple times during this series. If you look at the entire playoffs including the Cavs-Wiz and Cavs-Celtics this play wouldn't crack the top 100 fouls.

We aren't talking about a smack to the head, or a horse collar or a dangerous push to an airborne guard. Not even close. It was a fucking stationary pick: Horry didn't leave his feet, he merely leaned over. With no other player in the league would that have been construed as anything other than a regular foul. Even if West and Horry played out that sequence 10 times, I bet 8 times out of 10 West would be just fine. There just wasn't enough contact to cause an injury there. It was sheer bad luck that West had an existing injury and the contact aggravated a nerve. Not a broken bone, torn muscle, stretched ligament, or strained tendon. A nerve. Horry would have to be a surgeon with lightning quick reflexes to pinch a nerve in a momentary contact like that.

they cut to commercial so only someone who was there would know

assuming that would be you.

Precisely, which is why I wanted to post so you guys would know that at least some people did clap for West as he left the court.

[Dim Tuncan]

Sad to see Big Shot Bob reduced to a cheap goon. To my fellow Spurs fans, sorry, but Horry knew exactly what he was doing. Classless.

Get well David West. Come to game 7 healthy so my Spurs can bust your ass fair and square.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

The problem with Despurado is that he's talking about injuries when there wasn't any in this play. He was already injured ffs!

[Kori Ellis]

Precisely, which is why I wanted to post so you guys would know that at least some people did clap for West as he left the court.

I was there too. And I didn't say no one clapped for him. So I don't know your point of trying to correct me but whatever. :lol

[greyforest]

I have alot of respect for the Pistons because they never play physical and would never even think of using a hard foul on anyone. Sweet innocent angels they are.

Does anyone remember losing our second highest scorer Derek Anderson to a cheap shot from hmmm what team was that?

Suns fans were cheering when Shaq laid out TP. Luckily the suns, as always, were too stupid to do anything physical until after their fate was sealed.

NOH have used plenty of hard shots this series. So they really can't complain. If they do then they will be following the lead of the mavs and the suns. I don't want to see yet another whiny ass team emerge so I hope they can handle playoff basketball.

Also I am totally shocked that some people cheered. I always thought every person in SA was an angel. What's next, are we going to end up with some areas of town that you can't walk around in at night.

hmm i detect a small bit of sarcasm here

Only GayAndConfused who isn't a real lakers fan is spilling his venom in this forum tonight

[mikekim]

Someone probably already mentioned this but what pissed me off was Mark Jackson's idiotic excuse for commentary on the situation.

He was praising Horry for intentionally hurting/injuring West, saying that was his prime motivation for trying to set the screen.

I was getting more pissed off the more he talked until Van Gundy talked some sense into the broadcast by flatly stating the obvious, that there was no real malicious intent. Just a semi (SEMI) hard screen set in a crucial playoff game.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Hornets fans cheered when Bowen got clotheslined by Bonzi.

Spurs fans paid it back with interest.

Anyone who has a problem with it can go find another board to bitch on.

[mikekim]

Oh and of course, I winced when I heard the chants of "Horry! Horry!" while it cut to commercial.

That was horrible and pretty damn dumb and classless. I felt a little bit of actual shame for being a Spurs fan in that moment, even though I'm not even in the same state as those people.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

In a normal situation, where there's no player falling down and injuring his back, it is absolutely a no-call. Hard picks happen all the time. And that one wasn't particulary hard.

McCutcheon didn't even call the foul until West was on the ground.

I guess so, and West had been a punk on certain occasions...along with some of his teammates, but c'mon...that's just wrong.

I hate when fans do that...be it high school games, college, pro, baseball, football, whatever. It shouldn't happen. I know it does and will continue, but you won't find me participating in it.

[Dario]

That wasn't even a faul, he stood firm leaning forward expecting a contact. West jumped backward and landed on horry, end of story. Like its horrys fault west has back problems. Shit happens

[ShoogarBear]

This thread is a testament to the deterioration of reading and comprehension skills in the U.S.

There has been a vanishingly few number of Spur fans who have said that Horry's play was dirty. The overwhelming majority have said it was a hard foul but not out of the ordinary. Yet there's all kinds of vapid rants about people not supporting Horry. Well, that's not the issue.

The issue is Spur fans cheering because an opposing player was lying injured on the ground. You can rationalize it any way you want, but the fact is there would have been no chanting if it had just been an ordinary foul called without an injury. The chanting was bullshit. And, if as Kori says, there wasn't the customary polite cheering when he did get up, that's bullshit, too.

And fuck anybody who wants to question my Spur fandom.

I can rationalize them chanting Horry as being in support of Horry, because they were chanting Horry and they were doing it for a Spur player actually dispensing a hard foul for once in this series...they weren't cheering West being injured, they were chanting Horry...why make it about David West?


How often is a guy taking a shot in the back a serious injury? Was there anything remotely violent or excessive about that play? Like there is on the order of a player heads bouncing off the wood or his knee bending into an unnatural postion?

It was simply a case of Horry saying fuck these guys, like David West and Chris Paul say to their teamates every time down the court, attack their weakness and show them no mercy, you have to be hard to win championships...and Spurs letting him know they appreciated it.


It wasn't about David West...it was about Robert Horry, and the post season Warrior that he is.


Rewatch the game, take a look at Horry's face when he shoots the 3 after that play, be sure to note the total lack of thought about David West's fate...and you will see exactly why that man has 7 NBA championships...and if you look back at any of his backbreaking plays...you will see that same look on his face. I will always cheer that Robert Horry showing up on the court. He's earned it. And it means damn good things for his team.


Meanwhile...if you didn't turn in your Spurfan card after his hit on Nash...and IIRC you didn't...I don't expect you'll be turning it in now...so by all means, enjoy that ride on the high horse :tu

[jbspurs]

Well, Cheap Shot is the reason you will now win this series. Suns were victims last year. Say what you want, we have to congratulate you guys for having such an impactful, divine force on your roster!

Well Said.

Also there is no need to give the Hornets an emotional charge to get them going in game 7. The Spurs are going to have their hands full in every way in game 7. And it's going to be very difficult to win without the Hornet's being extra motivated.

Here's to game 7. It's gonna be a hell of a game. :toast

There was some. But very little compared to similar situations in the past.

[Death In June]

This "ordered hit" BS is a stretch. Real big stretch. And I don't know why you'd apologize for something you had no control over. There are assholes in every venue of every sport.

[ducks]

yes but how many fans in other cities would cheer when manu went down after scoring 38 points against your team the next game at home?

[ShoogarBear]

That makes it very hard to explain away the chanting as not being about the injury, then.

Maybe a lot. But the next time it happens, Spur fans will just have to STFU.

[whottt]

My issue was never really with horry to begin with, it was with the fans afterwords.


And my issue is with fans who cheered Bill Lambeeir even being allowed on the basketball court, much less his jersey going up into the rafters, lecturing anyone on any sort of fan etiquette.

Did you cheer when they retired Lambeeir's jersey? He made an entire career out of being a goon, and you guys retired his jersey for it...


Seriously...do you get off on being a hypocrite or are you genuinely clueless that you are one?

[hsxvvd]

Given the flopping that has come from the Hornets this series, West probably did it himself trying to get a flagrant called on Horry. I hope he tastes the pine again in game 7.

[whottt]

Maybe a lot. But the next time it happens, Spur fans will just have to STFU.

When was the last time you saw Spurfans cheering a players injury? They don't do it...to the best of my knowledge, they have never done it. I don't know why you think they'd elect to start doing it on David West.

[Red Hawk #21]

The Spurs owned the whole Espn, bitter Suns fans, Hornet trolls, the dumb commentators all tonight. Before the game they were comparing Chris Paul to Isiah thomas, during the game all the commentators kept ass kissing every step Chris paul took, they just kept annoying me. And BANG!. Just like that the Spurs started taking over in the 3rd, and they won in blowout fashion. All of the people comparing Cp3 to isiah, all the people praying the spurs lose, the commentators butt kissing paul, the people at Espn who you can clearly see were rooting for the Hornets all got Owned. Lets Go Spurs come through in Game 7!

that's what we're trying to figure out. It looked like they were cheering David West's injury. If they were then that's BS, but since we don't have that type of history it's water under the bridge now IMO.

[SRJ]

Maybe AT&T fans saw a Spur put a hit on somebody, instead of the other way around as it has been throughout the previous five games, and decided to voice their appreciation for him.

Did they think West was seriously hurt? Probably not. Jesus, after every bit of contact these days, most players fall down and stay down a long time - including some Spurs players. Fans probably though West was trying to sell it.

[whottt]

I'm telling you...they were cheering Horry for putting West on his fucking ass...the first time all series a Spur has put a Hornet on his ass. And they want to see more of it...and they were cheering Horry for being the one with the balls to say this is how you do it...

It was obvious that even if West was injured it wasn't because Horry put some kind of dirty hit on him...and they were simply letting the dude know they appreciated his play. It completely sets the tone for the way the Spurs need to play to beat these fucking dudes....just like it did last year when he put that shot on Nash.


It's as simple as that...it was an exhaltation of relief over a Spur player with the necessary attitude...it had jack shit to do with the severity of West's injury...


When you see San Antonio cheering a guy getting horse collared or a knee popping...then get back to me on their etiquette...until then, if you don't cheer Spurs players knocking the crap out of someone well within the acceptable limits of game play...then don't be in here calling them out/calling them pussies soft etc, when they lose becuase they don't play that way.

I doubt so. I heard Horry chants long after West had been taken to the locker room.

[timvp]

The crowd chanting Horry was a little bit weak but I don't think that it was just because West was down on the ground. It wasn't like Seattle in the playoffs when the Sonic fans cheered Duncan twisting his ankle and then booed when he got up. If the Spurs fans were cheering West's injury, they probably would have booed when he stood up.

The sense I got from the booing was the Spurs fans were just tired of the Spurs getting pushed around and were supporting Horry's "hard" foul. The Hornets have been the trash talking, in your face clapping, dead ball flopping, dead ball hacking team all series long. How many times has Parker been nailed? How many hard fouls have players like Bonzi Wells administered? Compare that to how many hard fouls the Spurs had before that Horry foul. Did the Spurs even had any?

I think Spurs fans were just tired of the Spurs getting pushed around. If West would have popped up, I still think the fans would have been cheered for Horry. The fans were glad the Spurs showed they weren't going to get bullied out of this series.

It wasn't the classiest thing ever for Spurs fans but seeing how Spurs fans are always overly nice to injured players and how the Spurs have faced the wrath of other teams cheering injuries, I don't have too much of problem with the fans cheering a hard foul. It's pretty difficult for me to hold the Spurs and Spurs fans to expectations that no other team or fans meet.

[Tyler_Durden]

Yeah. Lets hear what the New Orleans Arena would sound like if Tim Duncan twisted an ankle.

[2centsworth]

I'm down for knocking heads and busting balls. On TV it doesn't look like the Spurs are getting the worst of it except for the first couple of games. I think Bonzi pretty much knows Ime would bust that ass.

Hopefully Kurt Thomas, Matt Bonner, Ime Udoka et al were paying attention and that knocking someone on their butt won't get you a condemnation from Spurfans...but will instead earn their cheers. Because those guys need to hear that...



Seriously...so much is made of the Spurs class etc, that players actually feel obligated to play with one hand tied behind their back and by a different set of rules, just to live up that standard. And it hurt the team in the post season on more than one occassion.



The message they were sending to the Spurs players is more important than any message they were sending to David West....not that West gives a damn one way or the other. IT's not like he's going to start sucking if we boo Horry or something.


Me? I'm more worried about what Robert Horry and the other bigs think than I am David West...props to the Spurs fans for letting the players know they can play that way and not get a mass condemnation from overly and incorrectly self righteous fans.

[bresilhac]

Pretty pathetic. Classless. No excuse.

And don't give me no shit about Hornets fans cheering Chandler when he blew up Parker. 2 wrongs don't make a right. Be better than that.

Hopefully it's just a stinger, and hell be better for game 7 .... if not, you can expect to hear all about the *

At least it was a clean play. No sane person can argue there was any sort of intention in the injury. Don't need to go through all that again!

Which would mean that because it was not an intentionally dirty play there would be no need for an asterisk. And as far as the crowd, AT&T Center fans are no dirtier or classier than any other group of fans around the league. And its all in the interpretation anyway. One could easily say that the crowd was chanting Horry simply because he made an effective defensive play. Not because West fell down in a heap because of an already aggravated back injury.

And let's put the shoe on the other foot. Don't think for a moment that the New Orleans crowd would not relish the thought of a Tim Duncan or Manu Ginobili going down after taking a shot from a Hornet. Hard fouls are part of the game, especially intense playoff games and because of that I see no need to apologize for an excited bunch of fans who were simply caught up in a very exciting moment.

[jack sommerset]

Thats what Spews do. They r Dirty. Horry knew West was hurt and he hit him from behind. West had no defense. Its dirty.

Spews donot deserve benifit of doubt. Especially Bowen and Horry. It is what it is.

I'm telling you Spew fans. You would get respect if u just stop fighting it. Spews are who they are. Detriot Pistons of the late 80's early 90's knew they were dirty and people respect them for honesty.

[whottt]

I got over Robert Horry sticking a dagger in our backs in 95.
I got over Horry flat out leveling Tony Parker from behind in what WAS a dirty hit in 2002.
I got over Horry trying castrate David Robinson in 03.


I can damn sure get over him knocking the crap out of David West...and Spur fans cheering him doing it.


In fact...I enjoyed it.





If you guys don't think David West is going to be ready to play for game 7...you're delusional. In fact I would not be surprised if he faked the entire incident...just to set the Spurs up in game 7. It certainly wouldn't hurt the Hornets chances.


These Hornets flop, they decieve they trick.....inexperience my ass, these dudes already know every trick in the book...fuck them. Kick their ass...

First play of the game I hope Kurt Thomas jacks West's ass up, and I hope he continues to do it every time West even thinks about calling for the ball...put that fucking back to the test Kurt...I'll be cheering you doing it. Be sure to try and catch some kidney while you are doing it :tu

Classless for supporting Horry on putting a Hornet on his ass to make a statement? Are you fucking serious? Fans had every right to be chanting Horry. It's about fucking time somebody did that on the spurs and their fans were sick of watching them get bullied around on the court. Hard fouls are part of the game and there is nothing wrong with fans supporting that.

What is even funnier is this is coming from a fucking Piston fan. You would know about classless fans. After all they were the reason the heated moment between Big Ben and Artest turned into a court brawl. When a large group of spurs fans do anything remotley close to that physically or verbally, then come back and lecture us about how pathetic and unclassy they were.

Until then shut the fuck up you stupid son of a bitch.

Jermaine O'Neal became one of my heroes for a brief time for knocking that one dumbass the fuck out. I think I still got the gif on my computer.


I actually thought Ron Artest was the victim there...except for that part where he tried to kick the wrong guys ass.


That said...I don't particularly like the Pacers and enjoyed watching them get mass suspensions for it...deserving or not...after all, they won 60 something games and swept the Spurs the previous season.

[pooh]

Hell, none of them should've been suspended in my opinion. They should've been commended

[spurastic]

Horry, Horry, Horry, Horry, Horry, Horry, Horry, Horry!!!!!
I was damn glad that a hard foul was dished out instead of just the Spurs receiving them. But....... it is just a game after all, and I don't want to see anyone seriously injured. Horry did not hurt West and it wasn't even a hard foul from looking at the replay. West was playing injured. I didn't see any kid gloves on for Manu when he played injured. Or maybe while Duncan was sick during the first game, the Hornets should have been nicer:lmao

[Man In Black]

1-Basketball is a contact sport, is it not?

2-The pick is a legal play, is it not?

3-An opposing player should not lessen his intensity just because his counterpart is gimpy, agreed?

4-Why is it that fans of teams who are already on trips to warm parts the world over are doing the most bitchin and moanin? Is it because that's all they know how to do because their teams have yet to even sniff a LOB?

5-If not those fans of teams who are already on trips, we get the dreaded Lakah fan who feels it's Kobe's birthright to have more titles than Tim Duncan. The same kind of fans who would watch Kobe set hard picks just like Rob did on any unsuspecting player(bad back or not) and not only applaud him, but give him praise and encouragement matched by LA Media and picked up by National Media with the following words,"Did you see that pick that Kobe set? Oh the DOMINATION, that's championship heart and the greatness of a true demi-god. ESPN would love to play that, and they're trying to angle for it.

6-Don't ever tell me that Spursfan doesn't know back issues. Let me know when David West can do what his idol, David Robinson, did and take an EPIDURAL to the back to face the unmitigated fury that used to be a mobile and more ferocious Shaq.

7-You can cheer a player for doing a clean play, if the result is that another player is hurt, it's sad but there isn't anyone here other than the people in that arena, none of you loudmouth bitch-ass punks can say what each individual was thinking. It's amazing how there are so many mensas out there that think they can sense a collective shift in the Force or whatever, but c'mon, I call bullshit on that and I don't even care if there are a group of you that think the same. Open a church then.

If it was me, I'd say that I would've cheered Big Shot Rob for a well-timed pick, but that I would've also been concerned about David West's condition and then clapped once he was able to clear the court. Now, having said that, does that make me a bad guy for cheering my guy...even though I showed concern for an opponent?

[jack sommerset]

I got over Robert Horry sticking a dagger in our backs in 95.
I got over Horry flat out leveling Tony Parker from behind in what WAS a dirty hit in 2002.
I got over Horry trying castrate David Robinson in 03.


I can damn sure get over him knocking the crap out of David West...and Spur fans cheering him doing it.


In fact...I enjoyed it.





If you guys don't think David West is going to be ready to play for game 7...you're delusional. In fact I would not be surprised if he faked the entire incident...just to set the Spurs up in game 7. It certainly wouldn't hurt the Hornets chances.


These Hornets flop, they decieve they trick.....inexperience my ass, these dudes already know every trick in the book...fuck them. Kick their ass...

First play of the game I hope Kurt Thomas jacks West's ass up, and I hope he continues to do it every time West even thinks about calling for the ball...put that fucking back to the test Kurt...I'll be cheering you doing it. Be sure to try and catch some kidney while you are doing it :tu


First play of the game I hope Mangoo dribbles down the court and trips over the half court line, does a double flip backwards, rolls across the floor fluttering his arms,does a cartwheel on his head, finishing off the FLOP hitting Horry right the fuck out and ref Crawford calling "offensive foul"

And of course every Spew on the court surrounding Crawford crying with their long baby faces saying " what foul, thats not fair,whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" and you HOMERS defending them.

[gospursgojas]

Fuck that.

Speak for yourself, I'm not apoligizing for chanting.

Paul and West have acted like jackass the entire series, I don't hear NO fans apologizing.

[phyzik]

Whottt gets it....

This wasnt about West getting injured.... it was about Horry saying "Fuck you!" to the young punks who have been playing pretty dirty this series in their own fucking right. Fuck taking the high road this time, they want to play playground ball I hope the Spurs show them some playground ball back.

[SpursDynasty]

Well, it's unfortunate that West got hurt. At the same time, someone on the NOH needs to get bumped so they can know who are the champs in this series. NOH wants to come in and disrespect the Spurs and beat us.

[shelshor]

I'm telling you...they were cheering Horry for putting West on his fucking ass...the first time all series a Spur has put a Hornet on his ass. And they want to see more of it...and they were cheering Horry for being the one with the balls to say this is how you do it...

It was obvious that even if West was injured it wasn't because Horry put some kind of dirty hit on him...and they were simply letting the dude know they appreciated his play. It completely sets the tone for the way the Spurs need to play to beat these fucking dudes....just like it did last year when he put that shot on Nash.


It's as simple as that...it was an exhaltation of relief over a Spur player with the necessary attitude...it had jack shit to do with the severity of West's injury...


When you see San Antonio cheering a guy getting horse collared or a knee popping...then get back to me on their etiquette...until then, if you don't cheer Spurs players knocking the crap out of someone well within the acceptable limits of game play...then don't be in here calling them out/calling them pussies soft etc, when they lose becuase they don't play that way.

:tu :downspin: :clap
From the whining from Widdle chrissiey C3PO and Chandler, it sounds like NOLA is just another one of those punk bitch teams that are big enough to give it out, but ain't a damn one of them man enough to take it

[Sway]

I was at the game today so I thought I could shed some light on the chanting. I personally did not chant but some of the people around me did. My sense was that most people were chanting to show support for Horry giving a good hard foul. From the second level, the pick did not look bad at all and most people around me thought West was acting/flopping. The play was also not replayed in the stadium so the fans in the stands did not get as good a view of the play as some of you watching at home.

[SnakeBoy]

Thats what Spews do.

Spews?

: to send or cast forth with vigor or violence or in great quantity <a volcano spewing out ash> —often used with out

[jack sommerset]

or what dogs shoot out thier KAWKS while humping ur leg!

[SnakeBoy]

Why do you let your dog hump your leg. Fuckin disgusting.

[jack sommerset]

:tu :downspin: :clap

Its funny you mention "Man enough" defending the Spews. Pop mans up saying the DOUBLE T in the 2nd quarter cost them the game. Pop is a real man crying about the Lakers Gasol trade. Horry mans up tonights game hitting West from behind.

Isn't that a damn shame the Spews don't STFU and take it.

[SnakeBoy]

Do you jerk it while your dog is humping your leg or is it just a one way deal?

[jack sommerset]

You need attention? I'll play along. You're mommy told me after I let her suck my KAWK (I'm disgusted wth myself letting that ugly dumb slut put her mouth around my KAWK, I was drunk,did not cum, allowed that pity blow to last only a few minutes) and after, she told me you were going through puberty. She was worried.

She said " My boy lets the dog hump his leg and right before the dog 'spews' he grabs the dogs KAWK and slups all the 'spew'" down like a milk shake, he pats his tummy and says 'yummy'."

You're mommy deserves all the credit for the term "Spew"

[brettn]

this is a stupid fucking thread. apologizing for a hard foul?

its the motherfucking playoffs. grow some god damned balls.

horry in no way meant to hurt west in that perfectly LEGAL screen. its alot similar to the screen chandler set on TP last game. I dont see fucking hornets fans screaming sorry all over this board.

as far as the chanting was concerned, you people are greatly exagerrating it. sure, there was a good number of people chanting for horry (and fuck you i was one of them) but as far as i was concerned it was in no way cheering for the actual INJURY of a player. I even gave west a nice little round of applause when he got up and walked off the court. The chant was for Horry once again stepping in and showing the balls that it takes to win in the NBA playoffs. Hard foul? yes. Dirty play? Not at all.

Fucking ridiculous this thread is.

[jack sommerset]

"Fuck you I was one of them"

Feel proud. You cheered a cheap dirty foul on a play away from the ball to a player that was already hurt with his back turned to Horry.

I forgot to mention.. Spews up by 20 in the 4th quarter.

[Shaolin-Style]

It was a little awkward for the fans to chant Horry, but to apologize for it, after West stamped his feet up and down throwing tantrums beforehand? Don't feel sorry for that piece of trash. And especially don't feel sorry for his team thinking the refs "let them win this one."

[brettn]

Yea, fuck you, I do feel proud.

The Hornets wanted a physical series and they got one. People like you shouldnt be crying about them getting exactly what they asked for.

I never cheered for West getting hurt, no good sports fan ever wants that. But I damn sure cheered for Horry nutting up and giving the hornets, especially West, a taste of his own medicine.

[SnakeBoy]

Really? An hour later and that's it. You can get some good ones by googling Yo Momma but they're not that hard. Yo Momma's ass is so hairy your dog fucked her.

[SnakeBoy]

Fucking ridiculous this thread is.

qft...everything you said

[Nbadan]

I'm gonna take the high-road and add that West shouldn't have been playing with a bad back and his team down by 20 in the first place....that said, this is the NBA, not the WNBA, hard fouls are part of this game, don't like it...GTFO...

:lol and Suns fans trying to compare this to last season....

[Nbadan]

....also, the Spurs were getting murdered in game 5 and got no calls, so if you think Spurs fans cheering for Horry for the hard foul was in bad taste then part of the blame has to go to the game 5 refs who let that game get physically out of hand as they swallowed their whistles...

Damn right. Finally.

I can't believe the other teams fans with their sanctimonious bullshit about chants for Horry. And then some Spurs fans saying they're embarrassed for it?

Everyone's so pious now when it comes to basketball and "class". :lmao

It was just peripheral chants, that had a lot more to do with Horry, and nothing much to do with West getting hurt.

[FearDaFro]

And my issue is with fans who cheered Bill Lambeeir even being allowed on the basketball court, much less his jersey going up into the rafters, lecturing anyone on any sort of fan etiquette.

Did you cheer when they retired Lambeeir's jersey? He made an entire career out of being a goon, and you guys retired his jersey for it...


Seriously...do you get off on being a hypocrite or are you genuinely clueless that you are one?

Whott, you're a homer of the highest order, which is sort of funny because (A) last I checked, you aren't even a spurs fan originally, and (B) very few spurs fans actually like you. Your loyalties lie whichever way the wind blows.

Laimbeer was an excellent basketball player. A better one than Robert Horry. He was very physical, but so was everyone else in the era he played in.

Me being a Piston fan does not mean I can't comment on this, homer. Sorry. I don't cheer injuries like you do.

And for all Laimbeer did, he never knocked anybody out of a playoff game.

[Obstructed_View]

Since everyone's been saying for the last year that the Spurs wouldn't have beaten the Suns if Horry hadn't hip checked Steve Nash, then what do they expect? :lol

Parker got hit exactly the same way about ten times harder and got up. If West was injured so badly that a hit like that could drop him to the ground then he probably shouldn't have been in the game in the first place.

David West is a fucking crybaby who was whining about getting whistled for obvious calls because he gets away with that bullshit at home. Horry was going to deliver a message to him whether he was battling a sore back or not, and it was brilliant. Horry is back in playoff mode, and he contributed to a big win, and anyone that thinks his biggest contribution was by intentionally trying to injure someone is a fool.

As I mentioned in another thread, West was looking for a way out of that game anyway, and going out on his shield beats getting a second technical, and he knew it.

As long as the Spurs win a championship, I'm perfectly content with you stupid douchebags who hate them to try to attach asterisks, particularly some of you who spend time defending Ron Artest, Ronny Turiaf or the Bad Boys.
