horry pushed west when he was in the air. that is a dirty play.
He's just a 's fan. Ignore him.

He certainly took West by surprise while he was hovering in the air like that.
Horry didn't do a thing wrong. [/QUOTE]
Watch the replay. Horry pushed West when West was in the air. that should be wrong.
NBA Rule # 475:
Do not set a back screen on players who:
1. Have a sore back
2. Are jumping (or about to jump)
Anything else?
If West didn't have a hurt back then we wouldn't even be talking about this. Everyone on the Spurs knew he had a hurt back. Whether the play was intentional or not, it worked. D-West was stopped on that drive. Some people think it was on purpose to put West out of the game/series. I think it was just a foul, and not a hard one at that.
That didn't piss me off nearly as bad as the officiating in the third quarter. The calls were all ticky-tack bull . A of a lot of no-calls on the Spurs too. Though I was arguing with a Spurs fan the other day about how its cheap to blame the refs(like many Spurs fans did for game 5) so i can't stoop to his level. I do think the calls in the third quarter took us out the game. Put our two stars in foul trouble and ed our defense up. With all that and D-West hurt we still didn't lose as bad as yall did in the last game. So all is well, the Spurs will fall monday.
whats with all the breast avatars?
So you know...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 typed that first post before ever seeing yours. Then once I had submitted it and saw yours, I was going to erase mine so to not appear to contradict you, as that was not my intention.
But you had already quoted me.
Then that next time I was responding to Mars- again not at all in connection with anything you posted.
Either way, it was just an opinion- and not an important one at that.
I only saw one foul in that span that was even arguably a no-call (West on Ginobili). The rest were blatant. I think you've just gotten used to seeing that stuff overlooked.That didn't piss me off nearly as bad as the officiating in the third quarter. The calls were all ticky-tack bull .

It seems like the Baseline Bums were the ones who started the chant. I was sitting right next to them
Hey I was reading on your webpage...you forgot to mention that your dream vacation includes me.
hey, seriously i do not know the rules for screening. you are probably joking with pt # 1. by # 2 looks serious. is it true?
They're also known for saying crap to Eva for no reason. I wouldn't say they're the greatest examples of fan decorum.
Part 2 is in the rulebook. There's more detail under 2a...
2A: Players about to set a screen must predict the exact timing of an opponent's forthcoming jump so they can avoid setting a screen at that moment.
Once you get to a point where you know the game cannot be won, does it REALLY do any good to compare MOV's (especially when the difference is only a few points)?
I yielded to the better judgment of my editor and axed that part of the article.
Thanks for reading, though.
West=NashI apologize personally that the fans were chanting after an injury. That was . 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.
lol @ anyone try to act like that was a dirty play.
Grab some balls and try to play basketball one in a while.
This is the proper way to get with women as outlined in the book Women For Dummies, as told to me by my cousin Tommy whom I regifted the book to without ever reading it.
1. Slip a flunitrazepam into her drink
2. Wait 15 minutes
3. ???????
4. Profit
That wasn't tapping or clapping anyone on the chin anymore!
Welcome to Texas.
you're kidding right?
These guys at one time were the most abusive misery inducing segment of fandom ever unleashed upon opposing teams by a pro sports franchise...and they were so annoying that opposint teams and coaches mentioned them by a name as a legitimate factor in winning in SA.
They dumped quacamole on Larry Brown's head...didn't keep him from coming here to coach.
Or perhaps Dr. J can put it better than I can:
This is a story about an old building in downtown San Antonio that was demolished 12 years ago.
It's not a sad story, and it's not about the building so much as it is about the spirit of those who worked and played at HemisFair Arena.
The spirit is alive. If you don't believe it, just ask one of the greatest players in basketball history.
Julius Erving credits loyal Spurs fans that attended games at the arena in the mid-1970s for forming the "groundwork" of the franchise's current success.
"The die-hards," Erving said, "they got to see a championship franchise before the validation."
By validation, he means four championships in the past nine years.
"The (championship) trophies started coming in, in what, 1999?" said Erving, a longtime Spurs nemesis who played his last game in 1987. "But all the groundwork was laid before that, with the former owners, the players, the fans, the Baseline Bums (fan group). They were the foundation. The Spurs have roots. It's not like this happened overnight."
That is a fan base that made Dr J's life so miserable as a player that he actually remembered their name decades after he was retired.
What you witnessed there was an interaction between an old school segment of fans and an oldschool player in Horry...it was a level of communication and understanding that newer fans just don't get...and there was nothing dirty or unsportsmanlike about it...
That's why they chanted Horry and didn't just cheer....to make it clear that they were cheering Horry, not David West's injury.
Nor is West seriously injured. Nor was that dirty play by Horry.
And Robert Horry appreciated those chants.
There are very few women who want to be with a dummy- so good luck, Tommy.
Fan cheering a player going down, booing when he gets up(as the Hornets fans did to Bruce Bowen in New Orleans) = Bad
Fans chanting a players name when he delivers a hard foul and cheering(even lightly) or being silent when the down player gets up = Good
There's a reason that they cheered Horry...and mentioned his name when West went down, and didn't just cheer blindly. And they did cheer when West got up.
I do not know how they could have made it more clear that they were cheering Horry than they did. Spell it out on the court?
Not the same thing that happened to Duncan in Seattle....at all.
No, I'm not kidding. You're referring to the Baseline Bums of 20 years ago. Times have changed.
