yea he flopped. i mean how else was he gonna sell that call without throwing his head and shoulder into the scorer's table.
Sure, he was nailed in the nads, but he completely flopped there too. Spurs fans are functionally r****ded. I give them props for even being able to type in semi-coherent sentences.
NOT dangerous? how about you jump up, let me "nick" on your achilles and tell me that you don't mind losing your balance coming down.
The Bowen play was way worse the Horry giving Nash a bump and Nash hamming it up. The flopping is ridiculous.
I'm sure you would've just held your ground if someone 9 inches taller than you threw their shoulder into you.
Right, because most people wouldn't fall down at all if they were shoulder-checked by someone nine inches taller than them while dribbling down the court. I'm sure you thought Nash was milking his nose cut from game one as well. Functionally. r****ded.
When I first saw the play I thought Nash had been hit simultaneously by a sniper with a 50-caliber rifle.
Bruce Bowen missed a total of ZERO games over the last 5 seasons. http://www.nba.com/playerfile/bruce_bowen/career_stats.html I guess the players he injured over the 5 seasons probably missed at least some 200 games. The SOB is almost 36 years old, and it's about time that the jerk suffer a career-ending injury now.
Nash embelished, no doubt about it. I kept thinking about that Italian player in the world cup when Zidane head butted him.......total over-dramatization. But, Horry gave him a good check....which was dirty dirty dirty !! I think the league should have suspended Duncan and Bowen to even it out. If game 6 gets out of hand, look for Pat Burke to come in and body slam Bowen..... I rarely wish an injury on anyone, but that guy is friggen dirty to the extreme. DD
Robert Horry - 6'10", 240 lbs of muscle Steve Nash - 6'3", 195 lbs of skin and bones one vicious unexpected shoulder check and Nash decides he's gonna use his head as a prop to get a foul call. he may have acted like the effects were worse than they were, but that crash into the scorer's table was legit. just b/c he wasn't hurt by it, doesn't take away the fact it was a cheap shot and deserved a F2. for goodness sake, a few of you are even defending Bowen....Bruce "Karate kick" ****in Bowen!
I'm guessing y'all have never been hip checked. You go down. Simple as that. Nash did a bit of the arms in the air and head flip...but on the scale of flops...this does not rate. And he got right up. No feigned injury.
