    He flopped. Horry got a huge punishment for it. Mission accomplished. What's the problem? Why is it so hard for anyone to accept?
    Because only Spurs players flop. The Great MVP would never resort to such a thing.

    Watching that play for the first time in detail, Nash definitely hammed it up some.

    Parker's gotten knocked to the ground under the basket harder than that about 20 times so far in the playoffs. Most of them without a call.

    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 at ude 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.
    You've always hated Horry. Don't front.

    What Horry did was a cheap shot. It doesn't matter how hard it was. I am not even going to try and defend it. Not to mention that Horry is now trying to shift the blame on Nash?? Get real. Horry lost his cool and took it out on another player. Now he is whining about the NBA protecting Nash. Please. Horry wasn't thinking about his team mates when he took the shot. He wasn't thinking about being their for his team in the playoffs. I alreadly lost some respect for the guy. After the interviews he is giving now he comes off like a whiney liar. He knew what he was doing. He should have taken it like a man.
    Shut up you ing idiot. Too much listening to the whinny es.

    nash played dead until he saw that bell went at horry and all of sudden he was on his feet and running to the bench.

    Yep. If you look at it frame by frame, you can see where his acting came into play. And honestly, if Manu got checked like that, he'd be skillful enough to flip over the scorer's table and get the guy a 5+ game suspension ... so it wasn't even that good of acting.



    But really, Nash gets hit. Then he's able to still land balanced on one leg. Then he looks to where he's going to land. Then his knee bends. Then he flies in the air to the scorer's table. Then he's able to break his fall easily. Then he lays on the ground. Then he acts like he's murdered. Then he continues to play dead for a couple seconds. Then he magically pops up 100% healed and ready to fight.



    It was a decent attempt at a flop but not the best flop I've seen. Devin Harris or Manu Ginobili would have gotten Horry in much bigger trouble. Nash got some lame points for the acting dead part.

    Yeah, Nash blew it. It would have work if he was on the Spurs who are smart enough to play along (see restraint of Finley with Terry's nut punch or Bowen not going after Finley to both get tossed). Unfortunately Nash's acting job that would have gotten Horry suspended his dumb teammates bit into too and got themselves put on the shelf.

    There's a picture someone posted of Nash looking toward the table for a soft place to bounce. At least Baron Davis would have stayed down for a while.

    The more you look at it, the more you can see the acting.

    At the :43 mark, you can see Horry hits Nash when Nash's left foot is planted. But instead of flying right into the scorer's table, he's able to land on his right foot, look at the scorer's table and then change his trajectory so that he lands safely.

    Horry got him pretty good but not nearly as viscous as Nash played it up to be.

    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?
    ploto's a dumb . Stop trying to explain things to her. She thinks if it ain't Rasho, it ain't . , if Rasho had been in that game, he'd still be at half court, and Nash would have a layup.

    I dont buy horry's I was looking for a charge bit, I think he meant to make it hard (due to all the non-called contact he revcieved priorly) but ...

    nash sold it. i think if he wanted to he could have kept going even (his handle and balance are that good- but he would have had to duck and risk a headshot as he crossed over though).

    he even did the same thing on the bowen clear out, jumping back 7 feet. if bowen had got his nuts i think he would have dropped right there, but bowen got him just above the knee and nash pushed off both feet backwards. but he'd be a fool not to use his mvp status for calls!

    i have nothing but respect for him, he is a true compe or and skilled with both hands in a way most can only dream of. but this clearly backfired on him.

    and for those who ask "if it happened to you?"
    it has. to manu, to tim, to parker. and we let the refs settle it, shoot our freethrows, and move on. no suspensions. no crying to the press.
