If that was a cheap shot, than what was Kevin Garnett’s blind-side pick on Zaza Pachulia?

that was definitely a cheap shot, he saw west coming and figured he’ll give him a bump where it hurts. that was OH so obvious, there was no reason for him to have a screen stance considering the fact that Parker was not driving to the hole, not that the pick was useful anyhow. but yeah definitely a cheap shot, without a doubt, but it can also be argued as a smart move because of the way he played it, it was so subtle and masqueraded that it actually takes several reviews to notice that it’s not a clean play

I put it to you that Horry’s actions were to AVOID injuring West.

1. Horry thinks that Ginobili is going to drive under the basket for a layup, so he intends to screen off the defenders.
2. He sets his feet and his arms in position for the screen.
3. West (backing up) jumps in the air because of the pass over his head
4. Horry, not wanting to undercut West by making contact below the waist, raises his arms and stands on his toes to make contact above the waist.
5. Horry also leans with his upper body to decrease the chances of the main force being below West’s center of gravity.

lol just greasy.
Pick n roll, horry rolls to the cup, doesn’t get the rock. Manu drives, jumps to pass, so most players would raise their mitts to catch the rock. Not Robert Horry. He balls up his hands on his midsection and drives them into dude’s back. Clowns defendin this joker ain’t never had a back spasm or a pinched nerve in the lumbar region and took a shot there. lol greasy. so borderline dirty he looks like a genius. All year, we been sayin the spurs flop, funny the one time that horry coulda flopped and put the foul on west, he decides to stand his ground cuz west’s back showed up. Spurs are devious lol

Hey, that’s what a back pick is.

I’ve hit screens unknowingly moving laterally that just levelled me. And those were none-calls. Not really the other guy,s fault he was stronger or he anticipated the contact better.

Sure Horry moved. Doesn’t everybody on screens? Unless you’re a wall, you’ll instinctively protect yourself from the oncoming contact. I’m not letting nobody 240 pound jump up and land on mo; I’m gonna nudge him a little to deflect the impact.

That kind of contact is just part of the game of basketball. Otherwise, just go play chess or something.
