Robert Horry Pop rift?

[2centsworth]

Apparently Robert doesn't trust Pop to lead the team to back-to-back les.

there hasn't been any towel throwing incident, has there?

[duncan228]

Is this what you're talking about?

Robert Horry only played six minutes but the story is what happened when he left the game. Pop called a timeout soon after the second quarter began after a botched offensive play and a turnover. Pop in the timeout simply told four players from off the bench to enter the game and then walked away. Horry obviously wasn’t pleased with getting pulled and there was a minor Horry versus Pop squabble. The squabble ended with Horry saying (if my lip-reading skills are accurate) "that’s not right, man, that’s not right". It wasn’t anything major but on a team that prides itself on chemistry, it was at least noteworthy. It was also noteworthy that Horry never went back into the game. However, I’m not sure how much you can read into that since Horry’s playing time has been erratic as of late.

well, with the way he's playing so far (even if it is only January) I don't know if Pop trusts robert to win back to back

[Amuseddaysleeper]

and yes, that comment was tongue in cheek

what does history tell us?

Oh he's definitely more of a April/May/June player, but I think this may be the year that he truly has been finished.

He just isn't the same, and whether it's due to his long absence at the beginning of the year for personal reasons or what, his head just isn't in the game at all.

it's not only his experience as a player, but Robert probably knows a little about what a coach needs to do to repeat.

[spursfan09]

I would trust Horry more than Pop. Horry knows whats it takes to win back to back.

[SequSpur]

But... wgaf.. we have Matt Bonner... The Next Robert Horry!





Matt Bonner is a total absolute ing joke.

What are you saying? Did Horry actually say this or are you just guessing that Horry thinks Pop doesn't have what it takes?

[Bruno]

So Pop benched Horry and Horry didn't like that and we are talking about a rift ?
It's quite exaggerated.

Agreed, I don't see anything even above average from Bonner.

when a player trust a coach, why second guess? why question the coach's decision making?

Maybe cause Horry was mad at getting yanked? Just because you trust someone doesn't mean you agree with everything they do.

There could be something more to this I don't know, it's just that you made it sound like you knew a little more about it going by your orginal post.

I hate to tell people but Rob has not done much since June 2005.

Too busy watching the Raptors being schooled in the 1st round last season ?

Horry had clutch shots in games 3 & 4 vs Denver

[timmy21_4rings]

Pop always treated Rob with more respect than any other Spur...When Pop somehow forgot abt it for a second and treated Rob like any other Spur, Rob did not like it...It is human nature....Hopefully it is not a big deal....It is all perspective..

Another Spur that get more respect is Finley. Not sure if this is because of Vet Status...

Duncan is treated like any other Spur and he is cool with it... I like it...That is the foundation and thats why everything is in place in Spurs land...

yeah that game winner in game 4 against Denver wasn't .

Neither was his stellar play against Utah.

But keep on speaking with your head up your ass.

Unless you are Robert Horry himself, there is no truth to that statement. Don't over-analyze stuff.

This team does not have back-back for various reasons...It would have been 5 straight had it not been for 0.4 miracle shot and for TDs health/the unwise foul by Manu..At least it would have been one back-back if one of them had not happened.

How many final MVP awards does Robert have? It is like someone saying Beno (3 championship) knows more abt leading a team to championship than Rudy (2 championship) or Billups (1 ring) or Lary Brown (1 ring)...

[T Park]

Honestly, IMO, the only recent missed championship I feel that was stolen was 06.

In 04 they were simply outplayed by the Lakers, Im at peace with .4

Shut your dirty mouth!

All we need is for Robert to hip check some fool into the stands one more time.

[Tek_XX]

Horry can sit until April/May/June if thats when he chooses to start busting has ass out there. Until then he has no right to bark at pop for pulling his lazy ass outta the game.
