If anyone who saw Game 6 between the San Antonio Spurs and New Orleans, especially in the fourth quarter when Hornets forward David West was the victim of a hard pick by Spurs forward Robert Horry, you could come to one of two conclusions: one being that the pick was a legal albeit hard pick, or the second being that Horry was being a thug on the floor when the episode ...

A quick tour of the interweb while rooting for Hugo the Hornet to knee Robert Horry in the nuts on Monday If you know the Cubs, you have to watch this video. A fan imitates batting stances of past and present Cubbies. Hilarious. [Fanhouse]Glad to see I'm not the only person who thought what Robert Horry did to David West last night was despicable. Almost as infuriating, the announcers belabored

Are Your Parents Still Proud?

That’s the question we pose to on Robert Horry. They might still be proud of him, but it’s much tougher over the last two years than it was for the previous 36 years of his life. Horry, who has dunked,*** was at it again with his “pick” from behind on David West, who has also [...]

Robert Horry Sets A Mean Back Pick

Posted 5/16/2008 on Intentional Foul

Question: was this a hard pick, set to free an attacking Manu Ginobili or was this a dirty play by Big Shot Bob? Another question: would this even be a discussion point if Horry wasn’t involved? It looks like a smart play from here and if that was Tim Duncan setting the pick instead of Robert Horry, I don’t think we are hearing any outcry about “dirty ...

It's the talk of Water Cooler town this morning: Robert Horry 's dubious shot/pick to David West 's hurting back.

Above The Rim: Holding Serve

Posted 5/16/2008 on Signal to Noise

The aging champs play like they do, forcing a Game 7 — and to Suns fans, the shot Hornets forward David West took from Robert Horry in the second half must have felt at least a bit familiar. The questions as to whether it was really cheap are just that right now, because Horry’s offensive foul on a pick wasn’t too much harder than what wasn’t called a few decades ...
