Dude you are overrating Horry. He does make mistakes. And he was knocked down right before that and he let his frustrations out on Nash in expense to his teams chances. Please clean out your tinted glasses.
Hadn't he just come in the game? You are guessing that the most clutch player in the playoffs in recent memory, who has been kept on the team just for situations like this, came into the game not knowing either the amount of time left or the score, and just assumed that the game was out of reach and decided to commit a flagrant 2 and kill any chance his team had of evening up the score by giving Steve Nash 2 shots and the ball, thus ting away home court advantage.
"If he knew there was 30 seconds, then he wouldn't have fouled". You mean, he wouldn't have flagrant fouled. They had to either send Nash to the line quickly, try to play defense or get a turnover in the backcourt. Since Finley swiped at him the Spurs had obviously decided to foul, but Finley missed. Horry was in a stance to draw a charge. He said later he was thinking of trying to draw a charge and stuck his hip out because he was worried about Nash getting past him. Since the contact that was incorrectly called a flagrant foul was a hip check his story makes sense and fits all the facts. Yours does not.
Sounds to me like you are the bitter loser, because that don't make a lick of sense and you know it. I'm sure you felt stupid typing it out. Sometimes you make pretty decent basketball observations, and sometimes you make an effort. Sometimes you are lazy and stubborn and troll-like and throw something like this out there that's so ludicrous that I'm sure you know it's false.

Wait a second. You said he felt the game was slipping away and that he was assuming the game was over. Now that I've blown a hole in that you are saying that he was retaliating? If he were going to hit someone, why wouldn't he have hit the guy who knocked him down instead? He's going to give away the game anyway, why even bother lining up to play defense? If he can't control his temper to be able to play basketball, then how can he hold his temper long enough not to go after whoever knocked him down?
But it doesn't matter, because that's not what you said the reason was. You can't explain it because it doesn't make sense the way you explain it. Horry did exactly what he said he did, Nash ran into him and flopped into the scorers table and turned a simple hip check into a flagrant 2. Nash did his job. If his teammates had stayed on the bench we'd all be laughing about how Nash was able to clown the refs into sealing that win for him.
