Why DOES STEVE NASH RUN RIGHT AT ROBERT HORRY IN A FOUL SITUATION WHEN THE MIDDLE OF THE COURT IS WIDE OPEN?

Question

Steve Nash so started it.

Steve Nash caused Robert Horry's actions which caused Amare and Diaws actions which caused the league to give robert horry two games too many worth of suspension!

Yes, the court was wide open, watch the replay!

ey retards, nobody tries to draw a foul in that situation, they try to run the clock down...

so wtf was steven nash doing charging into robert horry?

anyone trying to say that nash wasn't looking for contact is an idiot.

and anyone who says its not natural to be peeved when the guy who has the ball and the lead would rather run hard into you than run the clock out...is an idiot.

Answer 1

Why do people watch basketball that don't understand it?
Horry threw him into the wall because he was mad. He didn't have to push him to foul him. He would have gotten away with it except he threw an elbow at Bell.
By your logic, the whole incident could have been caused by you for not turning off the game. then again lets blame Nash's or even Horry's mothers for giving birth to them.
Get real.
How do you survive with such a twisted perception on life?
You can't really believe the stuff you're spewing unless you are a fool.

Answer 2

Wow, your question almost made me not answer it. Im a Pistons fan so to all...bear that in mind. Steve Nash didnt run into him. Robert Horry stepped in. If youd like you can watch the highlights and replays at http://www.nba.com Well, on the note of Nash. Hes not a faker that dept belongs to Ginobli but I wont go there. The reason why Steve Nash fell so hard was because he was already driving and had momentum. So, when Robert Horry made that DIRTY play by body checking him into the table, Steve Nash hit hard. In an interview Nash said he was more shaken up and seeing stars than anything but not hurt. He was mad but was controlled by the refs(replay). Anyway, to say Steve Nash had nowhere to go and was trying to go thru Horry is really stupid among other things. I suggest after this that you watch the highlights and replays and then draw your conclusions from that. As for the person who said Phx fans will throw grenades. Wow, maturity, character and stupidity rolled into one. Again, if you watch the replays of the games Phx fans only booed the Spurs just as any other team would boo another team when they shoot or are entering the court. Second, SAS fans held up babydolls with Phx Sun jerseys on them. I dont know about you but that tactic by SA fans is beyond immature and totally without class. Why cant they boo like everyone else? Anyway, I hate the way that series is going but am glad the NBA has replays for those that are guessing or misinformed.

Answer 3

Robert Horry has never been anything more than a role player. He could have never lead any team to even the playoffs. He wouldn't have won six rings if he hadn't been lucky enough to play alongside the likes of Olujawon and Shaq. He was just in the right place at the right time. Steve Nash is a leader. He can't even be compared to the likes of a washed-up-since-his-first day-in-the-NBA Robery Horry. There are legends like Barkley, Malone, Stockton, and Reggie Miller who have never won championships. Robert Horry rides in the back seat and happens to win six. He's just one lucky guy. Sure he's hit some clutch shots in the playoffs throughout the years, but would the teams he was on even be in the playoffs if the leaders weren't there and it was just a team full of Horrys? Even if Steve Nash never wins a championship, he will join the company of legendary players, because he is a leader, not a mere role player in the right place at the right time like Horry.

Answer 4

You really need to go back and watch that. This series is out of control. Spurs are playing dirty because they are threatned by Steve Nash. The knee to the groin and body checking him is overboard. Let me just say I am a Lakers fan and Horry has always been a prick. He did that intentional and to think otherwise is stupidity.

Answer 5

you obviously don't play basketball. Or are a Spurs fan ;)

The court wasn't open. The theory of basketball is that it is a no contact sport. You cannot physically run over a player (offense foul) just like you cannot physically block a person (defensive foul). That is not basketball-only; soccer has the same application.

And in both sports you see the same cat & mouse between defender and attacker. You provoke.

Nash running up court that direction is perfectly normal basketball = both him and Horry knew that the idea of one was to stop or hinder or slow down the other.

What was not needed is Horry setting his forearm. He knows that it is going to be a hard - unneeded - foul = there is no strategy here to get Nash to shoot FT's and get possession back to win the game. The game was lost.

To state that Nash caused Horry to knock him over is ridiculous. Besides; that incident is not what the debate it about. It is the 'incident' of seeing two players walk a couple of steps from their bench to deserve a punishment half of what Horry got.

Answer 7

Steve Nash wanted to draw a foul, and Robert Horry gabe him just that. The little pussy had to flop so that he can draw a flagrant foul on Horry, so Horry annihilated his white *ss in the scorers table. LOL. Go Spurs!!!!!

Answer 8

I think the question you should be asking is why didn't Horry, like most players would do, just try to wrap their hands around Nash instead of throwing a shoulder???

Answer 9

Are you kidding me? you must be blind or mentally ill because you had Tony Parker and Bruce Bowen waiting for Nash right their! BTW Nash didn't run right into him he was trying to get passed him and Robert Horry checked him like a hockey game. You need to check yourself.

Answer 10

you all got it wrong. why do I always find myself schooling people in everything?

leandro barbosa paid robert horry to do it. he wanted nash to get hurt so he could be the starting point guard. if you look at the replay really closely you can see a slight grin on leandro's face.
