I just cant seem to understand the so called "flagrant foul" on steve nash in last years western semifinals. Its just so amazing after manu ginobili's missed layup steve nash got the ball, he was being chased by michael finley while robert horry was standing a couple of feet away from nash on the baseline, the strange thing to me was that instead of nash running straight up the court he ran exactly where robert horry was standing. Resulting in what I believe was a huge steve nash flop. Robert Horry simply did not bump him hard enough to send him flying like that. Even robert horry was saying in a interview that steve nash flopped on that play. Maybe you guys feel differently about this but I can't understand why steve nash would run in robert horry's direction. Tell me how you feel about this and here is a link for anyone who didn't see this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yp4UF4Av_g0

id say horry did it on purpose dont get me wrong. but all he did was hold his ground to a person running at him i never saw a foul on horry. it looked like a pick to me till nash flopped to make it look worse than it really did. but also nash knew he was gonna get fouled so he tried to run threw i a guy that 6'10" and that was a mistake lol

this is my first time answering a question about this topic. I just wanna start saying that the NBA should not have suspended Diaw and Stoudemire. Basically, that Suns/Spurs series was the sh1t. It was by far the best series of the 2007 Playoffs. Everybody wanted to watch a good @$$ game 7. Now did Nash flop? It's obvious Horry pushed him, but it was kinda in a bad situation because Nash hit the scorer's table kinda hard, and that pissed the Suns off. I think it was equal on both sides for that foul. Horry did push him instead of wrapping his arms around him for the intentional foul. Nash may have flopped a little. But Diaw and Stoudemire know damn well they cannot leave the goddamn bench during an altercation on the muthafuckin court. So you can also say they deserved their consequence. But, like I said, the f*c*ed it up themselves, it coulda been a great ****** series.

WOAH, definetely not. first of all, nash didn't run into horry. nash was running the sideline and horry knew he couldn't get in front of him and that they needed to foul so he thought why not take a hard shot and hope the opposing team's best player gets hurt. nash is much lighter than horry and me being a small light guy too, i know how smaller and lighter people can get hit and go pretty far. also, you can see how by everything about Robert Horry that he did it on purpose to hurt him. first of all, it didn't even look like he was trying to play defense(look at the link again). he wasn't in a defensive stance at all. nor by his facial expression did it look like he was even attempting to play d. to me, it looked like all he was trying to do was hurt nash. also, his reaction after made it seem like he was trying to hurt him. he didn't argue with any of the suspensions or the foul or anything b/c he knew he did it on purpose. i think(not sure) that he did admit to saying that he did it on purpose and he'd do the same thing if he had another opportunity. also, if steve nash flopped, why would he be angered after the foul.

Why are you the only one still talking about it?. Go back to the dentist and buy yourself a new grill.
