May 15, 200719 yr I must admit - this is a good time of the year for NBA b-ball. Nothing like a 7-game series to work up one's dander!!!!! Its not the Lakers-Celtics but I'll take it.
May 15, 200719 yr Steve gettin' big on Bob :lol: Man my respect for Nash has gone up big time, the look on his face tells me no matter that Big Bob was twice his size he was going to put a serious hurt on him if he could get loose! Go Suns!!
May 15, 200719 yr This could be a huge momentum swing. IMO the Suns have been viewed as the run and gun team that isn't physcial and shys away from physical play. Diaw, Amare, and Raja were ready to do some damage out there...Glad to see they stepped up and showed some aggression. Maybe the Spurs will think twice before their next "thug-ball" attempt.
May 15, 200719 yr My respect for Nash has gone down. All he has done all series is flop and lay on the ground. Did anyone else see Duncan tell him to quit flopping when they made a horrid call on Duncan when Nash leaned into him? Horry just did what about 3 or 4 other Spurs were on the verge of doing and sacrificed himself for a game. Now thats a veteran for you.

If Horry is suspended for Game 5, he may have sacrificed the series....So what you're saying is his hit was calculated and intentional? See that makes it a dirty play, which is what the Spurs are, a dirty team.

I'll put the hard foul by Horry in the "sending a message" category and not call it dirty. There is a difference.

Horry hit him hard enough to put him out a game or two i Nash's head ha hi the scorers table. It was dirty BUT it did what the Spurs needed and wanted because Amare and Diaw will probably be one for game 5.....
May 15, 200719 yr :lol: The Spurs aren't a dirty team though.... Maybe, maybe not, but they are the most boring team in the NBA...just like their leader Tim Duncan could be the most boring superstar in NBA history... That's the only reason I hated to see Dallas go down...it makes it more likely that San Antonio will be in the finals...can you say "ratings plummet" David Stern?

Horry just did what about 3 or 4 other Spurs were on the verge of doing and sacrificed himself for a game. Now thats a veteran for you. There are a lot of people who constantly flop and I don't think that Nash is one of them. Nash doesn't make the calls so you can't blame him for that. Duncan whines more then almost anyone else in the league, he could have a foul go his way and he'd still argue for a second out of habit...
May 15, 200719 yr I am fine with a hard foul. Now I think players need to be careful because there is a fine line between tough and physical and being dirty. I think teams have really showed a lot of passion this year. The Western Conference playoffs have been as entertaining to me as the NBA has been in a long time.

This postseason has been the most intense since the Bad Boys were still running things. Almost every series has had at least two questionable fouls that bordered dirty/flagarant.
