At first I was happy for him for passing Kareem Abdul Jabaar's record for most games in the Playoffs, but last night I lost a lot of respect for him and Spurs' fan in the arena. Robert Horry just like last year when he hip checked Steve Nash during their playoff series in the second round, did the same thing last night on David West. As you may know West is already suffering from back spasms, Horry took advantage of that and stiff armed David while in the air trying to intercept a high pass. Horry wasn't called for a flagrant foul or technical, the crowd started chanting 'Horry, Horry, Horry' while West was struggling walking to the locker room. It's not only disgusting for the fans to encourage that type of behavior but also alarming that Horry and Bowen are now known for being "dirty players", this stigma not only tarnish their accomplishments but also their good guy type of personality.
I hope The NBA will take a look at this and suspend him for game 7. Too harsh you may think, but that stiff arm may cost New Orleans the series, yes they were being blown out by The Spurs in the 4th quarter, but the Spurs were already looking into game 7 in New Orleans. A West-less Hornets squad is a beatable team in The Big Easy.
