Big SHOVE Rob

The Suns came from 11 down in the 4th IN SAN ANTONIO to defeat the Spurs and tie the series up at 2. With the other 3 series at 3-1, this is obviously the only one left to watch and what a series this will turn out to be. As it stands, the teams have alternated victories, with Game 5 on Wednesday in Phoenix.

The big event of the night was the shove by Robert Horry that threw Steve Nash into the scorers table in the waning seconds of the game. With the Suns up 3, the Spurs missed a layup that was boarded by the Suns. Nash got the ball and was pushing it up the court when he ran into a brick wall, named Robert Horry. Horry was given a Flagrant 2 and ejected from the game. I fully suspect him to be in street clothes on Wednesday.

The big question is Amare Stoudemire. When the players on the court started in on each other after the hit, Stoudemire is clearly caught on tape leaving the bench. His defense is that in the late moments of the game, with 5 fouls, he was in an offensive-defensive substitution situation and was just running to the scorers table t9o check in. I am not sure why, but I believe him and don’t expect him to sit out Wednesday.

The Spurs losing Horry, while a big deal, would be nothing compared to the Suns losing a First Team All NBA player. If the suspensions happen as I see them, Suns will win Game 5 in Phoenix to take a 3-2 series lead.

In the other game last night, LeBron scored 30 and Eric Snow’s D on the last possession disrupted Vince Carter enough to squirt the ball out of Vince’s hands and the series, seemingly out of the Nets reach.
