Horry is the new Nazr

Understatement of the year.

thank you, AngelLuv.

That's a succinct way of saying what I tried unsuccessfully to say in way too many words.

I forgot since I'm a dense idiot according to the author of the thread, I probably should not post in this thread.

I'm starting to wonder, is Horry the new Nick Van Exel?

The NVE that never really had to "earn" minutes on the Spurs. Pop, and crew, were so intent on giving him minutes, even at the expense of younger guys who could be developed.

Even NVE was capable of hot night every now and then, showing glimpses of his old self (or younger self I suppose), but as whole wasn't very productive. Hopefully that doesn't become the description of Horry.

Horry has more intangibles to his game than Van Exel though, I'll give him that. He rebounds some, steals some, blocks every now and then. He's not "NVE done" yet, just seems like he's getting alot of minutes that could just as easily be going to other players. I wish Pop would budge, and play the younger bigs already, at least while it's still early in the season.

Give props where props are due. After a slow and ugly start, Horry is easily pulling ahead of Elson and Oberto as the best option next to Duncan. He's active and his shot is starting to fall. With Oberto holding down the fort as the starter and playing a very solid game, Horry is a good option off the bench. When Elson starts grasping the system better, this team's frontcourt will be far better than it was at any point in the previous 2 years.

Congrats Manny...you've gotten Horry to play better in the early part of the regular season. Horry problem solved

I think pop went off on horry and horry has stepped up..........................

Horry in the last six games:

53% from the field
50% on three-pointers

If Horry shoots that well, it'd be almost impossible to beat the Spurs in a seven game series.

True, because if Robert Horry had shot even slightly better than 25% from the field and 14.3% from three against the Mavericks last season (though I'm not saying the outcome of that series was his fault), we're probably bumping around here talking about the impending three-peat, laughing at Mavs fans flailing around for chances to puff their chests out, and lamenting .4 as the hiccup separating the Spurs from a chance at 5 straight.

Thank you for ruining my day.
