Byron Scott on Horry:
“I’m not real OK with it,” Scott told Yahoo! Sports. “But if I didn’t know Robert on a personal level, I’d say that was a dirty shot. Yeah, if I didn’t know him the way I know him, I’d say it was a cheap shot.”

I don’t really see it as a cheap shot, but I see where Scott is going here. He is trying to rally his team and the city of New Orleans around this and benefit them on game 7. Spurs was in complete control of the game when that happened and its not like his hit last year against Nash where the Suns were still capable of winning the game. I thought even that hit against my boy Steve Nash was not dirty, its just stupid how NBA handled the suspensions. I think John Stockton gave harder picks than that.
That hit will benefit NO more than the Spurs, because I think West will come out big on Monday since he has 3 days to rest that back. And you have a raucous NO crowd on the Spurs face after what happened. How bout some “Spurs are Dirty” chants in the big easy! Its gonna be an exciting game 7.
