What's with Horry on the last shot of the game??

[wuxia]

He tried to wrestle the rebound away from Timmy, and he ended up with it.. I know its for fun and all but at that point, I really believe Timmy had around 8 or 9 rebounds. Its not a big deal or anything because its just stats so don't go off at me... I just wanted to see Timmy get that double/double.

Somehow, Tim still ended with 10 boards.

I think Rob was credited for that rebound?

[SpurInDallas]

They were just fooling around. I thought it was funny. Duncan and Horry were both laughing.

[wuxia]

Yea, I realized they were fooling around... but that could have been Tim's 10th rebound, which I really thought it was... I was counting, don't ask why!

[SpurInDallas]

I loved it, especially since people think Duncan has such a bland personality, he and Rob looked like kids out there having a blast.

[Timmy21girl]

I thought they were just fighting to keep the game ball.

I think that Tim doesn't care about double-double. When you have won 3 championships, you know that there are more important stats than the personnal ones.

well, it was the night they got their ring, i dont know bout u but that seems kinda special 2 me.

They got something more valuable than the gameball, their Rings.

Surely you aren't really concerned that Horry was trying to steal Tim's rebound.

To be a good rebounder you can't stand back thinking 'the other guy will get it...and as a result sometimes you wind up wrestling the ball away from a teammate, but its not some deliberate form of selfishness (unless you're Kevin Garnett).

I'm sure neither is focused on making sure Tim gets 10 instead of 9 rebounds, they are just taking care of business and having some fun out there.

the spurs should fire pop before tony pulls down manu's shorts after a dunk.

[YoMamaIsCallin]

it was actually quite funny. There are NBA players who actually care about snagging that last meaningless rebound or making that last meaningless basket, so their stats look better. Whoever took that last shot on the Nuggets (I forget who is was) is that kind of player. By pretending to fight over the rebound, Tim and Robert were mocking that practice.

Yep.

[DunkinDan89]

Why exactly was the player on the nuggets "that kinda player"? From my experience watching the NBA, the losing team always still tries to score while the winning team will run out the clock.

Not always. I've seen a few games where even the guy on the losing team didn't bother to shoot in the last few seconds. If you're down by twenty and theres three seconds left, what difference does it make either way?

yeah that happens occasionally but more often than not, they do end up shooting it.

True...and I wouldn't say that makes a case for criticizing them either...just part of playing the game.

[parkers_babe#9]

anyway i just wanna know what that new song called before ya'll ready for this comes on


tim and robert were messing around

[bnwhuxley]

If it's no big deal to you, why do you bother creating a thread about it?

I thought it was way funny.

[wuxia]

I just wanted to share my view, and I was wondering if anyone felt the same way

[pjjrfan]

I see the beginning of a team feud, I think Horry wants to go back to his LA days and be the story.

[KAD]

Tim got his 10 board earlier
