It goes without saying to anybody who's not a blind hater that Horry was simply bracing for contact. It's not like he threw a forearm into West's back. But beyond that, how the hell do you justify this statement? That foul on West had nothing to do with game 6, as it happened in the 4th when the Spurs were up by 21. And it had nothing to do with game 7, since West had 4 days to rest, and showed no ill effects from the sore back. Your hate has made you blind.
it goes without saying that you cannot have a reasonable conversation with a fanbase that routinely defends Bruce the Butcher Bowen.
and he did lean in and lift his arms - basically pinpointing the pressure on a small area. He didn't throw an arm, but his arms were carefully placed, with his full body weight behind htem - AND moving into West.
It's ridiculous that you can't see that.
bottom line, Spurs fans don't care that Horry deliberatly hurt West. They wouldn't feel that way if somebody did that to Duncan, but that's cause they don't think the rules apply to them.
