Found January 30, 2007 on Project Spurs:
tu Jackson has announced that Kobe Bryant will be suspended one game without pay for "striking San Antonio Spurs guard Manu Ginobili in the face." We're sure Kobe just forgot that he wasn't in some Colorado hotel room and thats the reason he decided to "bitch slap" Manu. Did he deserve to be suspended? I'm not so sure about that, but right when that happened, I thought to myself "nobody will ever call Kobe dirty for hitting Manu or running into Robert Horry on a potentially game winning play, but you know everyone will be calling Manu a flopper in the morning." And they did, including some fool who writes for Dime Magazine: "How about Manu's dramatics after getting smacked by Kobe following the block? After laying on the ground like he'd taken a Lennox Lewis right cross, Manu was on the bench for a few minutes while Michele Tafoya reported that he had cotton in his nose, in his mouth, and ice on his eye. Really, was Kobe's hit that bad?"

The NBA is at it Again

The NBA is a well run organization but at times they just get out of hand. This is one of those times. They need to settle down with their suspensions and fines. If anyone says something even remotely negative about anyone in the NBA they get fined, if you accidentally hit someone in the face you get suspended. It's stupid. Hell, the NBA is probably going to fine me for writing this.

"Big Shot Bob" (Robert) Horry

Robert Horry has always been somewhat overrated in my book. Ok...GREATLY overrated.But he's still hitting big shots for the Spurs when the money is on the line. It makes me feel old as hell to look at Horry and think he's 34-years-old.He's managed to collect 5 and possibly a 6th championship ring thi...

Kobe suspension a joke

So, the NBA has suspended Kobe Bryant for 'striking' Manu Ginobili. Watch the video and you'll see how assanine the suspension is. All Bryant did was shoot the ball, and Ginobili got in the way.

Spurs and Suns Rematch

One member’s name will be drawn at random from all those who post in the gameday thread to win a Robert Horry collectable pin in honor of his bodycheck of Nash during last season’s playoffs. Post your comments here….

VOTD 1/3 - Robert Horry Saves the Day

Another video tribute, this time to Robert Horry. The San Antonio Spurs forward is hands down the most successful player in the NBA right now, based solely on championships. He may not be the most skilled player, but he’s always had the knack of being in the right spot at the right time. Horry&...

Stern Gave the Knicks A Win

After watching a video of Kobe Bryant's "foul" I am convinced Stern decided to suspend Bryant to help out the Knicks. Without their star the Lakers fell 99-94, but with Kobe LA would have ended up on top. What other explanation is there for Stern to suspend Kobe?

Robert Horry Tries Out For The Spurs' Booth

Yet another great clip from Odenized today as Robert Horry fills in for Sean Elliott before the Celtics-Spurs game last night....I'm not sure there's a current analyst who says "peace" when he signs off, but I guess there's always room for one. Oh and to the play by play guy who growled....don't do ...

Friday Bullets

A photo of Robert Horry at the moment David West's back really started to hurt. Deep thoughts about cheap shots. Basketbawful on the same play: "Horry measured West and gave him a shot right in the lower back. Horry knew West's back was injured. Everybody knew West's back was injured. It was a textbo...

R.I.P. SunsGossip

Thank you San Antonio Spurs, thank you Bruce Bowen, thank you Robert Horry, thank you Eva Longoria and ABC, thank you Stu Jackson and David Stern and stupid rules. We at SunsGossip have lost our will to blog.

Thoughts on the Horry/Stoudemire/Diaw Suspensions

Predictably, the NBA suspended Robert Horry for two games and Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw one game each in the aftermath of the ugly finish to Game Four of the Spurs-Suns series. Reasoned discourse on this subject is very difficult to find because virtually everyone who is discussing the issue has a horse in the race or an ax to grind (pardon the mixed metaphors). The first,...
