Pippin or Horry??

[exstatic]

he did throw a towel in his coach's face during a game.

Yeah, but it was Danny Ainge, so he GETS points for that one.

true, true.

Ainge sucked as a player and as a GM he is a double threat guy.

Think of one clutch memorable shot that Pip hit to win a deep playoff game. Can't? There's your answer.

Blah...

Off the top of my head...

I remember in the '97 playoffs the Bulls were looking like and were down double digits to the Hawks before Pippen went crazy and started hitting 3's including the game winner.

Hit a game winning 3 over Bryon Russell that sent the Jazz home in the 2000 playoffs.

He hit numerous clutch shots in Games 4 and 6 of the '93 Eastern Conference Finals against the Knicks when Jordan was having probably the worst series of his career. Also had those consecutive clutch blocks against Charles Smith at the end of Game 5.

In the '92 Finals in Game 6 with the Bulls down 15 and heading towards a game 7 it was Pippen and a bunch of bench players that lead the Bulls back in the 4th qtr to secure that 2nd le while the starters (including Jordan) were cheerleading from the bench.

Well, I don't think his comeback will be about being the "go to guy" in clutch situations. So this discussion should not be about him being a clutch performer, because that's not what the Spurs would need from him. He would come back to play 10- 15 productive minutes and help out if Bowen is on the bench. He could be valueable on the defensive end. If he has the quickness on defense (which I doubt) and can shoot the ball, I would give him a shot. The question would be: who do the Spurs cut? I only see White being cut but I don't know how much the Spurs have liked what he did in practise.

It will be interesting to see where he lands...

I got to give Ainge the at a stoplight when he played in Portland, and I am still getting points for that one.

For all I know Scottie Pippen can't beat Bavetta in a race. If we droped anyone to pick up Pippen it would have to be either Vaughn, Ely or James White.

[polandprzem]

We do need some orks not pippin

[1Parker1]

Bump.

After tonight?

Everyone says Elson is the Spurs X-Factor in the playoffs, but I really think it's Horry. His defense, smart plays, and timely 3 point shooting all of which was missing last postseason would be a huge factor against teams like the Suns, Jazz, and Mavs.

I don't think there's another veteran player in the league that I would take over Robert Horry right now. Despite his ty season so far, he's the one guy in the league who has 6 rings and a handful of deadly 3 point killers in crunchtime on his resume. And he's on the Spurs team. I think Spurs fans and the rest of the league are forgetting this due to his crappy season and age so far.

[Pablo Escobar]

when is the deadline for pippen to sign with any team?

[SoCalSpursFan]

What's Pippen's PPG Avg this year? I forget...

...if we are basing it on the "shooting stars" compe ion...then eeeeeeee...

True, As far as Horry and even Finley. I don't think it's wise to undersestimate Horry due to crappy reg season numbers.

However, if you remember, Horry was gased by the second round. He was pretty ineffective against Dallas and admitted to not being able to keep up with the youth and athleticism. So I think Pop is prepping him and pacing him this season, so that won't happen again. hence not playing him on Back to Back games.

I can't wait for the playoffs, but I'm not underestimating this team. Despite the apparent holes.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Pippen might be.

But Horry is more of a sure thing. He's been playing in the league the past few years.
