Mr. Horry, you can have my soul. You earned it, beautiful.
Tim, to the corner.

Aruarian Reflection
Chauffeur de la gdlk
I felt like I was watching Ong Bak on that last play with the flying elbows!
Rasheed Wallace is an idiot. Big Shot Bob is just crazy in the playoffs.
Everyone that knows basketball knows that the inbounder is usually the most dangerous guy on the floor for a quick shot. And there is no way anyone that was thinking would leave Robert Horry with the way he was playing tonight. Rasheed Wallace just lost the championship for his team. Nice guarantee there buddy. Freakin moron.
And that foul at the end was on Hamilton. Parker was clean. The Spurs foul on that last play was of course on Bowen. Billups tried to stop his cut on the sideline to get the ball and Bowen shoved him a bit in the back to keep him moving. Nothing big. But I noticed it.

No.
Rasheed is a liability. The guy can play great sometimes, and his defense is outstanding, tonight even, but the dude is either super hot and then refuses to shoot the ball after like 20 pts, or ice cold.
Damnit it pisses me off. How the fuck do you leave ROBERT HORRY WIDE OPEN.

What the hell ParkPace? Are you a Spurs hater or a fan?

Ah, I didn't see the replay.
Horry bailed SA's ass out this game. He doesn't have another 24 point quarter+OT left in him, though. :lol Duncan needs to get his head out of his ass at the line-- the game shouldn't have been that close. Parker was invisible-- what'd he have, like two baskets all game?
Still, serves Detroit right for their thug-ball. I cannot STAND how the refs let Detroit get away with playing the way they do. Every replay they show, there are like four fouls before the one that was actually whistled. They may be a good defensive team, but the only thing that has propelled them into the realm of "great defensive team" is the fact that they're butchers. If the refs called the game correctly, Detroit's starters would be fouled out by early in the 3rd quarter. Especially Rasheed Wallace, that goon. I really don't know how Duncan just doesn't snap and start throwing elbows. That's one thing that was good about the old NBA (80's and early 90's) before they started to clean the game up-- when guys started hacking too much, you were allowed to give it back-- which I don't advocate, but hey, if the refs are gonna swallow their whistles all game, you gotta do what you gotta do. The Hamilton elbow to Parker's Adam's apple at the end was just the icing on the cake.
Freaking refs. Detroit is a disgrace to the game.

There's nothing wrong with criticizing them for a performance like in Game 4. You were just so hard on them that I thought you despised them.

Robert Horry....ugh.... How on earth did they leave him wide open. Going into that possession there was only one way they could lose the game and that was to let Horry hit a 3... BAH! Why were they trying to trap, it wasn't necessary. They just needed to protect the 3. BAH!!!
Oh well, Detroit lost.... Spurs will win game 6 since the Pistons are demoralized now.

Don't remind me. That night, much like this evening, reminded me why I hate the Spurs and their fans SO GODDAMN MUCH.
Right after the victory, the local ABC affiliate went "LIVE TO DOWNTOWN" where people(read: idiot spurs fans) were celebrating as if the Spurs had just won their 5th championship in a row. And THEN, the live shot goes to the FUCKING AIRPORT WHERE THEY'LL "INTERRUPT PROGRAMMING TO SHOW THE SPURS PLANE LAND".
I hate this fucking town.

Ahh, forgot about his Spur days but my point stands.
Horry had 18 points in the fourth and OT, including two threes that he really shouldn't have shot.
edit--if you are trying to compare Kerr to Horry, go ahead, but don't make little flippant statements with no true backing. Hitting an open three due to teams trying to stop the twin towers is not the same as what Horry did tonight. He took over the game offensively.
That was probably the most memorable finals game since Jordan's flu game. Just so many remarkable aspects....Horry's ridiculous performance (not just shooting open threes, either), the painful to watch performance by Duncan in the fourth, and of course the failed attempt by Stern to fix the game. Some of those calls were unexplainable.
Despite all this, the game would have been even better if there was time left when Rasheed called the TO. Rasheed pulling a Webber in that situation would have to be the greatest moment in Finals history. Damn.
EDIT- The difference between Horry and Kerr is that Kerr was hitting all the open shots, while Horry got the key offensive rebounds, threw down nasty dunks, AND his the open threes.

Well not to say that Kerr hasn't been clutch before, but how many times has he done it? Horry has 5 rings, just like Kerr (I think he has 5 right?) But I can rightfully say that Horry has been a huge part of each of those rings which I can't say about Kerr... Not downing Kerr, a great role player who knows what needs to be done..
Incognito said:
That's all well and good, I don't guess I remember that game. I don't mean to dog Kerr, and I won't. He has no shot at HOF though, and I'm starting to think Horry does have a shot. There's going to be a huge difference between how both are remembered, Horry's been doing this shit for over a decade.
