Horry still gets a free pass from me
Horry is quickly becoming a bad player for us. The comparison to Nazr may be a bit unfair, but he's blowing inside scores, he's missing shots, and he's generally not doing very much well right now.
Horry still gets a free pass from me
I gave him a free pass last year and he sucked it up the entire playoffs. I wanted him to retire for this very reason. I really don't think this guy has anything left in the tank.
But you see, regular season is not Horry time...Horry usually is amazing during the Finals, or playoffs...We need the big shots at the right time from him, that's all...He doesn't need to play his best during the regular season. We just need him right at the crucial time during the Finals...
Remember, without his big shot in Game 5, we would NOT have won the championship...For that reason alone, Horry is always valuable...you never know when we'll need another big shot...
To me, Horry always gets a free pass until like February. He can't possibly be the next Nazr unless he suffers a brain injury.
How long will we give Horry a pass for ONE awesome game? He had a decent showing in the playoffs in 05, with one incredible game, but 2 out of his 3 years here he has completely sucked in the playoffs and in the regular season.
There is nothing that is being shown out there that leads me to believe that this season will be different.
Horry isn't pumpfaking and missing defensive rotations.
hes rebounding and what not.
I wouldn't ever insult Robert Horry like that.
Uhh, he had a pretty good series vs Phoenix too.......How long will we give Horry a pass for ONE awesome game?
You are looking for numbers or something from Horry...check his career averages both postseason and regular season, they are very similar and there is nothing amazing about any of them....it's not what numbers he puts up, it's when he puts them up.
And Horry didn't get any PT in the Mavs series so I don't know how anyone can say he sucked....we never got a game 5 from him because he wasn't on the court to give it to us.
Horry will retire when he can no longer do what he does, you won't have to force him out....he's not about ego and getting the ball. He's about the ring.
Keep in mind...that game 5 VS the Pistons Horry did absolutely nothing prior to 1 minute left in the 3rd...nothing. Nada, zilch, squat.
He's been that way his entire career....
Horry will retire after this year.
Game 1 1995 WCF Rockets VS Spurs - Horry only scored one basket in that game.
It was the winning shot.
A similar game happened against Philly in the finals...he did absolutely nothing for the entire game until the final 5 minutes of the 4th when he ended up blocking some shots, getting some steals and scoring like the final 7 points to ice the game.
Nothing new here except a chance for Horry to make fools of people yet again...best to move along now.
I wish he would dunk the ball! He's been missing these pussy layups when he's had the opportunity to just put it in the damn basket. And that lazy shovel pass was bull .
I would like to believe his head just isn't in it yet but he's getting up there in age so who knows
Like others, I've tried to be careful about criticizing Horry because of the "skins" he has on the wall. However, he's clearly struggling - even with simple tasks such as making passes, setting picks and hitting "bunny" shots.
Anyone remember giving NVE the same pass last season? "Wait until the playoffs" was the motto for many. Well, he didn't do squat in the playoffs and clearly looked old, worn out, and exposed versus the Mavs.
I'm sorry. In this league, it's all about "what have you done for me lately?" And lately, Horry hasn't done squat. Until he does, he deserves the criticism.
I think he heard you Manny.
It figures. As soon as I criticize Horry, he's just nailed to threes versus the Sonics. But, he's got to do more than that to get over this slump. I wouldn't dare compare him to Nazr.
just like against Houston, HOrry spurs a run.
Robert Horry can play on my team any day of the week.
Nazr wasn't that bad for us. 2004-2005 run. And he was doing swell in 2005-2006 run until he took that three pointer against Sacramento.
someone got owned tonight
oh that would be the starter of this thread
After what that man did in the finals against Detroit, he can stay as long as he wants in my opiniion! When he retires, I hope he stays on as a coach.
I also loved his hustle in the Dallas game. When he skied for that big offensive rebound and the Spurs went up by two, it should have spurred the team to victory. He does a lot of little things that go unnoticed and he is a smart player.
Man, Rob could pull his shorts down and start jerking off at center court of the AT&T Center in the middle of a game and he'd still be a Spurs legend.
One incredible game? How about when he hit a dagger three in Denver in game 3, stole the inbounds pass, immediately hit another dagger 3, and made sure Denver never threatened again the entire series. That game was ridiculously close, and Rob broke it wide open in a span of about 10 seconds.
How about game 2 of the WCF vs Phoenix? Nash had just come and hit a three with like a minute and a half left to give Phoenix their first lead in ages, and Rob went down and buried a demoralizing three on the very next possession.
What about game 7 of the Finals? It was like a two point game with maybe 6 minutes left, and Rob ran a pick and roll and put up a dagger three from the baseline to put the Spurs up 5, giving them their first two possession lead in ages, and maybe the entire game. He carried the Spurs through a dismal first half in that game, and was the Spurs' high-point man at halftime... not to mention the charge he drew on Hamilton with like 1:30 left that ended Detroit's comeback.
Bum makes the points.
I agree, Horry could do whatever he wants, but his contriubutions during that 05 run were things of legend.
Big Shot Bob can stay as long as he wants.
Decent? Horry was awesome in that playoff run. Without him the Spurs might not even get by the Nuggets. His +/- for the playoffs was +112, second highest on the team.
And that "one incredible game" was a game where he played the worst I've ever seen in the first half. He just kept at it. I've made the mistake of counting Horry out before. Until I see a decline in his ability, I'll support him being on the floor.
This season, I've actually liked everything about his play other than his shooting. He's playing good defense, he's rebounding, passing and blocking shots better than any time in his Spur history. The only thing he's not doing is knocking down shots.
Horry will be done when he can no longer rebound or defend. Up until this point, I see nothing to indicate he's finished.
