Chandler's pick on Tony in Game 5 more dangerous than Horry's pick!!!

[Jon1798]

I'm convinced the last few posts here haven't even read the entire thread. Anyone want dibs on that?

That being said, those that can read can see that I (once again) have not said the Horry pick was dirty. But for a lot of reasons(his DIRTY play last year, a back pick in a 20 point game to an all-star with a hurt back) people can question his intentions there. No one knows what he was thinking.

What I find interesting is the great, wonderful fans of San Antonio who are on here on and on with, you are so f'ing dumb, so stupid, you Hornets fans are the worst of the worst, you ignore everything we post, etc. yet not one actually finds any fault(or at least with bottom level intelligent reason) with anything I have said. (ignoring the fact that every post I get quoted seems to not refer to anything which was actually said).

And Sag, just as a heads up, the Hornets fans don't boo the Spurs. They boo everyone who comes and plays in the NOLA arena. I know some fans try to spin that into how it's cause the Spurs are so great, but we've been doing it almost all year.

For the record, there were a few posts while I typed this.

Wow, so you have two examples in the entire career of one of the most cool, calm, and collected, veteran, 7-time champion players who before last season has NEVER been accused of being dirty? Two? And you think that's sufficient to damn Horry?

What was even dirty about his foul on Nash last year? I see tons of fouls that are just as hard. , the pick Chandler set on Parker probably hurt worse than Horry's hit on Nash, since Nash saw it coming, flopped to the ground like he'd been shot, and then was up and apparently "fine", since he wanted to fight about two seconds later.

If Horry's pick had happened in the early 90s, it would not have even merited a footnote in a playoff series. It was a good hard foul, and if the Suns players hadn't lost their fool 70 IQ heads, few would have remembered it and Horry wouldn't have been suspended. Cutting under a player who's in mid-flight is a far more dangerous play, and that happens in the NBA with regularity -- and you rarely see players affixed with the "dirty" tag because of it.

How wonderful it would have been for the NBA to embrace the Spurs and tout them as a throwback to fundamental basketball with flashes of brilliance, rather than casting them as the foe to be vanquished and de-hyped. That's their money lost, and our les earned, fortunately.

I didn't say one thing about him being dirty. All I said was the SA fans were classless for chanting Horry.

Dude, I live in Houston and have seen first hand what people from your city are capable of committing on the taxpayer's dollar. To hear someone from NOLA call people from San Antonio classless is about as ironic as it gets.

Don't miss quote me. I did not say the people from San Antonio. I said the ones chanting Horrey at the game. And on second note my city is not New Orleans. I have nevered live there. I actually live in Pearland.

Here it is again for you to understand. Tyson's pick was completely legal, everyone knows that on both sides(except for some on this thread it appears).

No one has any idea what Horry's intentions were behind that play. It looks very questionable for a lot of reasons. Even Spurs fans can't say that he didn't do it intentionally, but he may have had good intentions as well.

The "cheap" aspect of Horry's foul was the well-known fact that D-West had been suffering from a sore/stiff back... and Horry leaned into West's back.

So, are you saying, because West has a bad back, we are not allowed to set a hard pick? Had Parker's back been sore (which it probably is after all the pummeling to the ground he has taken), would Chandler not have leveled him like that? Don't give me that BS about leaning in, they both used the same amount of force to set that screen and I would say Chandler's was even more brutal considering the size difference between him and Parker. Will you guys honestly sit here and tell me that, had Horry "untangled his feet" the way Chandler did, the "dirty Horry at it again" remarks would not be doubled? This is why the double standard and hyprocrisy talk is directed at you guys...

Right here.

That contact was accentuated by D-West jumping backwards to deflect the pass, but make no mistake... Horry leaned into the screen and aimed for his opponent's back.

Then what the is he doing in the game when his team's getting blown out? Blame your coach for that one. I bet if Hornets fans could they'd try to get Stern to implement a new rule to protect their soft players

"No fouls on guys playing injured"

Didn' want the attached video but I thin you are referring to the pick where Chandler hits him from behind - he leaned on him a little bit, it was very similar to that of Horry.

[sagrzmnky]

Right here.

To anyone who actually thinks there's a double standard, are you being serious? They were both called as offensive fouls. And neither one carried a penalty that extended past the play during which the foul occurred. Officially, the fouls were EXACTLY THE SAME.

That contact was accentuated by D-West jumping backwards to deflect the pass, but make no mistake... Horry leaned into the screen and aimed for his opponent's back. On the other hand, Tyson Chandler set a screen and didn't move his body at all. Parker initiated the contact (because he was moving backwards similar to West), Tyson stood still and then turned his body to rejoin the play. In order to do that, Tyson kicked his foot away from Parker's feet to avoid getting tripped up. You see this as a yank and interpret it as a kick in the air. It looks bad, no doubt. But have you ever been tangled up with someone in a sport? There's really no un-awkward way to get out of the tangle.

Horry's shot at West was a cheap one. He knew exactly what he was doing, and it ended up hurting West... leaving him on the floor for several minutes before he was carried to the locker room. It was a hard foul -- and a cheap shot, but it was a foul. Nothing more. After getting screened by Tyson, parker was on the floor for less than 30 seconds before getting up and dribbling the ball up the court. Reggie Miller even admits the foul call was probably bogus after they show the replay.

Horry took a cheap shot at West, and he'll deserve every boo that he hears in the Arena tonight. If y'all feel that Tyson's pick was equally hard, then feel free to boo him the next time he's at AT&T Center. Next season. In the mean time, grow a pair.

Fan Up.

SSSoooooooo....
Horry's pick was dirty and Tyson's was clean?
Grow a pair? Look who has been complaining about how dirty Horry is.
Seriously, none of that will matter in game 7 tonight.
