    This team does not have the heart of a Champion.

    i hope they dig their way out of this, but it's not even remotely comparable to the suns series back in the day.

    We took Robert Horry for granted

    He was the greatest role player of all time
    Hits clutch threes
    Blocks shots
    Gets steals
    Can guard multiple positions
    Makes great passes
    Always calm under pressure

    Horry's game would probably work better in todays game than it did back then. He did the things you said well but he wasn't good ball handler other than catching and passing he wasn't going to take anyone off the dribble, but he could spot up from mid range or 3 and could slash if he was fed in transition or on cuts off entry passes to the post. He was a good defender and could guard 3's or 4's. It turned the series around in 95 when after the first 2 losses they put Horry on Barkley.

    Horry could have been better but he just coasted through the regular seasons I think if he would have avg 15ppg or so then the argument for him getting in the HOF would be a lot louder than it is now.

    I still would love to have Horry at the 4 right now.

    Yeah this is not even last year’s team or the 2015 one who came back down from 3-1 vs Clippers, let alone clutch city 93-95 teams. Let’s see if we can win these 2.

    Well Bill Plaschke of the LA Times just said he still thinks Houston wins the series if they win game 3 on Around the Horn.
