Memorial Day Miracle
Horry's Father's Day Gift
Elliott or Horry?

duh... it would help if I would read the poll question all the way through...
Horry's was obviously more important... But I think Elliott's was the most memorable (and difficult).
fathers day gift??????????????????????holy mother of god
Father's Day Dagger.
I vote for MDM. Horry's shot was clutch, but wide open.
Sean's shot was a freak of nature.
We should ask Sheed. He had the best view of both of them.
I think it still remains to be seen. If the Spurs dont win it all, its still Sean's. If the Spurs win this series, its a very tough call. I think you gotta wait a few years for the high to wear off b4 you can make that call. Alls I know, I am PUMPED right now!!
As much as I hated Horry when he was in LA. I love him now!
Well, Robert Horry's was in the most important game in Spurs history, but Sean's was simply bizzare and amazing.
Sean's was great and memorable, all-time great and beloved, more freakish and amazing.
But Horry's shot was much, much more important where it was when it was.
Elliot's shot propelled the team to their 1st championship. But wasn't that in the Western Conference Finals? Rob's shot was in the Finals, in a game 5 of a series tied 2-2 with unbelievable pressure on the Spurs to win. I take Rob's shot.
Big Shot Bob
Damn, that's right!
Oh, man, Rasheed must be kicking himself right now! "How did I leave him open?"
Sean's shot. Individually, that was the second best shot in Spurs history. I still maintain Duncan's shot over Shaq was the best in the histroty of the franchise.... but this was the best game in the team's history and Rob's 4th and OT performance is far and away the greatest clutch performance in the history of this proud franchise. Rob wants #6 bad.
I say Horry's, just because of the importance. They woud've won the series in 99 whether they made the MDM or not.
The guys on WOAI just called it that. Maybe they read my post? Not. A caller just suggested "Father's Day Trey." Lame.
If they had won, no doubt. But the cruel reality is you have to win the game for the shot to be the greatest.
Gotta go with Horry's, simply because it was bigger. It occurred in pivotal Game 5, when the Spurs needed a win the most. Elliot's was amazing, but it was in the West Finals.
Tough call though. Both shots will be forever in my memory, which is good, cause they're crowding out Derek Fisher's .4 disaster in there.
COLD! and Hiii-larious
I disagree.
The Spurs barely won game 1. If they had gone back to Portland 1-1, they probably would have lost that series.
The Blazers gave up after the MDM. If you remember game 3, Duncan had his worst playoff game ever and sat on the bench for most of the game with foul trouble, and the Spurs still absolutely crushed Portland.
I agree with you there. Too bad it's gotten overshadowed by the .4 disaster. It was an amazing shot.
"Father's Day Five"
Anyone else like it or just me?
this is legend...
if we win this series (which we will) horry's shot should be 1, sean's should be 2. both were hardcore... but damn horry's coming off a bad first half... in the finals... game 5... ot
Duncan's shot was higher stakes than Sean's. There was no way that 99 team was losing to anyone. Portland came out on fire in game 3 of that series, and Rasheed Wallace hit one of the craziest fadeaways I've ever seen to end the first quarter of that game.... but they couldn't match up with the Spurs defensive intensity the rest of that game and played the worst 3 quarters back to back to back that I've ever seen. They gave up in game 4.
I've got to go with Elliot. But Horry is becoming a fast favorite in my house.
