Question on Horry Hip check on Nash

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.

Nor should he, he did a hard foul and thats all he did! In the 80's and 90's this is the f in norm! Thats all it was is a hard foul.

That was the biggest single play of the 2007 NBA Playoffs. It changed the entire momentum of the WCSF and helped propel the Spurs to their fourth :lobt2: in nine years.

He begins talking about it at 1:40 in the link that Lady M posted - it's pretty funny actually. I have to admit that I gained a bit of respect for Nash by coming out and admitting it.

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."
