I mean, yea, not a total flop, but he did exagerate the play, and he did his part, game was over after that call. like I have said, Sasha Pavlovic got hit way harder than that the other night, but popped right back up

So you're saying that him laying down and putting his arms up is what drew them off the bench??

Or are you saying that he wouldn't have even gone to the ground without a flop??? :dizzy

He flopped. Horry got a huge punishment for it. Mission accomplished. What's the problem? Why is it so hard for anyone to accept?

Jerry Stackhouse hit Shaq harder than that.

So are you saying that him going down was a flop or not??

There are 2 events...

1. Him going down and hitting the table - NOT a flop IMO
2. Him laying down and putting his arms up - "Flop" or "sell" on his part IMO

#2 didn't have shit to do with the guys coming off the bench, so if you agree that #1 was not a flop, then I don't understand why people are saying that Nash's flop cost his team??? :dizzy

When supine, throwing his arms back over his head and holding them there was pure melo-drama.

He bounced off Robert's hip. Robert really wasn't throwing his hip forcefully. As Robert said, he has a lot more bulk than Steve, so Steve bounced off Robert.

Ok, so you agree with me...

Horry put an elbow to the shoulder also as part of his "check"...

i love references to that of being a football hit... :lol a hit like that my old football coach would have said " you two look like 2 marshmallows trying to have sex!!"

Was that "Color Me Bad" or some crap?

Whatever it was -- it sucked.

I think that Horry hit him a little to hard, he realized it, gave himself a little extra air, and then laid on the ground like he had just been hit by a sniper. That combined with D'Antonis reaction caused the players to come off the bench

Thats why I love the Spurs, they don't overreact to shit like this. While the world is in a damn frenzy and trying to add their spin on it, the Spurs keep a focus on the task at hand.

Please . . .

I lost what little respect I had left for Horry. Everyone knows that you don't have to body check a guy to get a foul call at the end of a game like that. All you have to do is grab him and no one gets hurt. I also hate to tell him but he got 2 games because of what he also did to Bell. The 2 game suspension was not merely for the foul on Nash. To make it worse, Rob never went over to Nash to even see if he OK or apoliogize or anything. Even Bruce told Steve he was sorry he got him in the crotch. Horry's attitude at the time gives away his intent much more than his story a day and a half later.

He should be a man and admit HIS mistake, but the Spurs HAD to trot him out to give some justifcation that fans will buy and attempt to protect the Spurs reputation. And based upon this thread it works every time.

I tend to agree with Horry in that had it been any other player, he wouldn't have gotten two games. Nash got fouled hard and then proceeded to exaggerate the fall and landing, and D'Antoni, overly charged, emotional freak that he is came flying over.

The Suns suck, basically. I can't wait for them to get eliminated. I cannot stand the Spurs playing these chicks.

Or maybe we have eyes, and thought from the moment we saw it that Nash was over reacting.
Oh, and what exactly was Horry supposed to do when he was rushed by Bell?

I was under the impression that one game was for the foul on Nash, the other game was for the elbow to Raja. Is that not correct?

So Horry's reaction to Bell was fine but Diaw's reaction to Nash getting body checked was not. Double standard.

:rolleyes I thought you already established that his reaction was not fine because that is why he got suspended 2 games. Bell was already on the court. Diaw ran on it, and as covered many, many times, that is against the rules.

Bell's reaction to Horry was punished by a technical foul. Horry's reaction to bell was punished by a suspension. Diaw's reaction to Horry was getting suspended for a game.

Them's the rules. What part don't you understand?

Why is it a double standard? Bell was rushing at Horry, so Horry reacted--that was between the two of them. Diaw was reacting to something between two other people that didn't involve him.
