Forget Kobe, Horry is the MVP
I was ready to turn off the TV last night; after all, I was expecting the young Hornets to lose in San Antonio. And then Horry set the screen, West fell on the floor in pain and was taken to the locker room as the crowd in the AT&T Center chanted Horry, Horry, Horry!!
This is playoff basketball, I get that, but is this a coincidence? In another second round, in another potentially series-changing moment, Horry had bumped into another guy with a bad back. Again, the guy with the bad back was an All Star on the opposite team.
I was watching the game on ESPN Deportes and Carlos Morales said the following:
“Somewhere in the World, Steve Nash is watching this game and he’s shaking his head. I’ve seen enough basketball in my life to tell that this is a dirty play. Robert Horry knows that David West has back problems, it has been well documented by the media, and there was no reason for him to set that screen in that specific situation. He leaned forward hitting West in the back, with his head and forearms. I can bet my job that the league will not do anything about this”
And my question is…What if they do? It will not mean anything, Horry is done. This is the only way he can have an impact in the game, he is useless on the defensive and offensive end. If they suspend him, it will not make a difference.
Horry said last year that he is an Old School player, he takes pride in that, he said that in the playoffs, there will be hard fouls and people shouldn’t complain about this. I agree with him, but what happened last year and what happened last night were not hard fouls…they were dirty.
