In watching the video, did Raja Bell push Robert Horry in the back trying to secure the rebound when Ginobli missed his shot? It looked like he was so pissed he didn't get the call that he took it out on Nash.

Uh... do you expect people to recall that or just go hunt down a video and answer your question? You give other gnsfs a bad name. Ok, not really, but still... :)
Short answer: Yes! It was all Phx. Horry did nothing.
Yes. I do remember that Horry seemed to be iritated about the non call before the push. Not that it excuses the hit on Nash. Although, I still side on the overreaction of the Suns bench as being the deciding factor for the suspension of their players and I don't think Horry's hit was bad enough to elicit the reaction.
It was still a dumb move on Horry's part. It turned out to be more advantageous for the Spurs. but if Amare and Boris didn't show their ass, it would've been a bad deal for the Spurs. I don't blame Nash for selling it. Manu would've done the same thing.Quote:

It's one thing for Nash to sell it. It's another thing for him to sell it only to result in getting his own team mates suspended, and adamantly whine for years that the 'dirty' Spurs were responsible (and grudgingly admit years later that he did flop, as Nash did last year).

I think if the role players would have not been suspended, the Spurs would've still won the series.

I'm glad he finally came clean, I was still losing sleep after we won the chip.Quote:

Ridiculous.
All the bru-ha-ha was just because Nash threw himself into the scorer's table and the undisciplined Suns way overreacted, and the Suns assistant coaches didn't do their job and keep them from leaving the bench. Just stupidity on the Suns all around.
I still blame Nash for trying to oversell the shove and flying to the tables. His fault Amare got suspended.
There was a video where Nash admitted that he embellished the foul. Anyone?

tim donaghy knows the details, he made 600 large on that series
all i can remember vid of is horry's explanation...
it was something along the lines of "i'm an old school player and if i have to foul im gonna foul hard." he basically didn't make any kind of excuse.
I sure as hell wasn't we blew that game 4 up a good margin, we should have been up 3-1 cleanly! Spurs were the better team and always were in those Suns series! PERIOD.Quote:

this is the video...haha! he says "(after a hard foul) the spurs always make a meal out of it, so here was my chance!"
he laughs and explains how it backfired.
If I recall correctly (guitarNazi and myself were still zygotes at the time), Horry has hit several huge shots to help win it all in crucial moments. Those Kleenex Bums who were suspended? None... ERGO... (ergo) Horry's absense was exponentially more crushing to the Spurs than those other guys with the other team type guys were to their team, I forget their names. Are they still in the league?
To me, the funniest thing about the whole hip check brouhaha was how one, ONE play turned the Spurs from soft to "dirty." Yet if that was a Laker or Celtic who did that, if would have been "playoff basketball."
