That's what you get for cutting Robert Horry!

So...... the San Antonio Spurs decide over the summer that Robert Horry isn't good enough for them. He brings them 2 rings, clutch shots, and a team-first attitude... and they send him to the curb in June.

Every team that has ever said goodbye to Robert Horry has suffered to this very day. Seriously. Rockets trade him and E.T. for Chuck in 1996 - 0 rings since then. Phoenix trades him (and his towel) to the Lakers for Cedric Ceballos (brilliant!) - 0 rings since then and a ton of disappointment. Horry got even. Later, the Lakers let Horry go. In favor of Karl freakin' Malone?!? Yup... 0 rings since that day. And you thought it was because the Lakers traded the Fat Ass? Nah.

Karma is a bitch.

San Antonio is learning that now.

Manu...... out with an ankle injury from the Olympics.

Frenchy the 1st....... out with an ankle injury after getting a double-nickel.

The Spurs? 2-5 and sinking in a tough division. Or, put another way, playing worse than the freakin' Memphis Grizzlies!!

Only one thing I can say to that:

Nice!

Love it… Only problem is: we gotta LONG way to go… Methinks that picture may be used against us with a link to this thread… Pop will have them looking scary good by the end of the season. Glad we get to face them while their peepee hurts.

hey

If I can’t kick the Spurs when they are down… what’s the freakin’ point??

And if you can’t beat us when we are down…

Not to gloat. I can’t believe we even competed with you guys. It’s a fickle game.

Love the site and the writing. The note to Amare and the Dorsey/Adelman conversation both killed me.

Uh

I don’t see Robert Horry helping the Spurs much this year. Hell, he didn’t help them much LAST year, especially when they really needed someone to step up against the Lakers with Manu Ginobili hobbled. Cutting him was the right move, but the Spurs never signed anyone that could help immediately (other than Roger Mason, who’s pretty decent). That’s what’s killing them now.
