But that was prior to having Tivo or any system that allows us to watch stuff as closely as we can now, huh? Basketball's evolved a lot since then... good? Bad? Up to the individual. Horry leans into West's lower back. Allow me to paraphrase your own comment: If you EVER thought ol' Bob isn't aware that West has a lower back issue, then you're kidding yourself!

Horry leans into West’s lower back. Allow me to paraphrase your own comment: If you EVER thought ol’ Bob isn’t aware that West has a lower back issue, then you’re kidding yourself!

Did you see what Tyson Chandler did to Tony Parker in New Orleans? He flattened his ass from behind with a hard backscreen. In that instance, everyone said, well, duncan should have warned him...well, maybe cp3 or whoever the point was should have warned West too...it was a perfectly legal, hard backscreen like the kind you see every day in the nba. 3. kurt rambis, bill lambieer, larry bird, magic, kareem, parrish, and just about every player from the 80's and 90's fouled the opposition 5x harder than this and never had this kind of backlash. this was playoff basketball at its best. the only poor result of that screen was the fans chanting Horry's name. it was not a cheap shot, it was a smart, hard basketball play and america's sportswriters and bloggers need to get some freakin' tissues to wipe their tears... 1. if you EVER thought he didn’t purposely hip-check Steve Nash, you were kidding yourself
