Official Horry Thread - Hope West get's better

[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.

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

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.

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

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.

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 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.

Shut up you coach hating Panzi. I prefer to be smug and look down at the world rather than stoop down to it.

world being other nba teams and fans.

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. happens

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 bull . And, if as Kori says, there wasn't the customary polite cheering when he did get up, that's bull , too.

And anybody who wants to question my Spur fandom.

Couldn't agree more with that post.

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

Wait did you just do a complete 180 after reading Kori's post?

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 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

[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!

comeback next season!

Yea! And what about joking and downplaying the whole situation? Pull your nose out of Kori's ass son..

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 of a game.

[Kori Ellis]

Spurs get a blowout win.
Spurs fans fight afterwards
The SpursTalk way.

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