Game 5 - 2005 NBA Finals - Big Shot Bob Heroics

[DoomDarenxbourg]

The pistons love to talk about how they beat the Lakers ass in the 2004 Finals, but how the HECK do you explain this? That 1 play basically cost them back2back titles. For a team that prided itself of Defense, they commit the ULTIMATE defensive laps!

This is the day piston basketball died. They haven't been to the finals since, while the Lakers won 2 more titles in 09 & 10. Upset win in 04, Ultimate choke in 05.

[walkingfridge81]

classic lesson: the inbounder is ALWAYS the most dangerous player.

[tj11112222]

The single worst decision EVER in the history of NBA finals. Rasheed double teaming Ginobli and leaving Horry open

[HeffBern]

This fn shot still gives me nightmares! Sheed totally gambled...don't do that up by 2 with less then10 ticks left! :(

[TuaPekGong]

It is about who played better not which team is stronger. Stop whining, Spurs won. And nobody dont deserve to win, and Spurs deserved the win.

[scatman813]

@TuaPekGong

I agree with that statment the spurs and pistons were the most evenly matched finals you could have. One of the greatest ever in my opinion. They were tied at the 4th quater in game 7 the spurs just played harder down the stretch of that quater and also some guy named Duncan and another Ginobili hit some key shots down the stretch. Espically Bowen with his huge 3 and block on billups near the end.

[IsaiahWEJackson]

Rasheed won us one (challenge to J. O'Neal to be able to beat Pacers). In this one he lost us one. Nobody even had to set a pick for (inbounding) Robert Horry. If Horry was 68 friggin years old, I would NOT leave him, of all people, open in a clutch situation. It's 2009. Larry Brown and Chauncey Billups are gone. Iverson and Rasheed NEED to be. It's Clutch-time, Dumars.

[oosaf]

I think Rasheed is still good, just needs a a no non-sense coach like he had with Larry Brown. I think him and Iverson are free agents so they may be gone this season.

[thundersquall77]

det would've won the finals if that shot wasn't made

[oosaf]

Very likely, lol. At this time they were like mirror images of eachother. Great D, legendary coaches, and a big shot for both of them. Rasheed just had a brain fart and the wrong time

[Jacobmetroid]

Despite what happened, Pistons were the better team and Spurs just got lucky breaks. Tim Donaghy and David Stern messed up series between Suns and Spurs in 2007. So Suns real 2007 NBA champions and Pistons real 2005 NBA champions. Spurs= 2 fake titles and 2 NBA championships!

[tomiMkd]

Oh come on, it isn't always about the "best team", it's about "who will play better in the series". Stop shittin' around.

[nuclearFM]

would you like some cheese with that whine?

[oosaf]

The only series Tim Doanghy admitted to to cheating on was the Dallas/Houston series.

[Jacobmetroid]

All I have to say is the Spurs winning this championship(2004) was a fluke. The Pistons were the better team. If Robert Horry did not make that three pointer in game 5, the Pistons would have won the series. The Spurs were a great team, but I think the Pistons were better. If only Rasheed had not doubled Ginobli, then stupid Rob would not have made that lucky three, thus. Somebody please give me a sledge hammer so I can smash Robert Horry in the balls!!!

[oosaf]

This was 2005

[Maeror2010]

I went BERSERK when that shot went in..Jesus Christ, my family was happy...

[jm30300]

[blove323]

[carsuck7]

carrie underwood

[aubs519]

i remember that moment, i screamed like crazy!

[liljfreestylepro]

why he didn't hit that shot against the spurs in 2003 in game 5

[seancag7]

I literally almost died that moment when he shto that ball and it went halfway down!!!!!! I seriously almost had a herat attack while downing beers.

[roncarl9]

i remember that game.. ball went halfway down and came out!

[GoBlue208]

Imagine if that was on some piston fan's birthday. How awful would that be?

[agentk1986]

What the hell was Rasheed Wallace thinking? Not only has Robert Horry been clutch his entire career, but he was tearing up that game. You would think the last person they would want to shoot was Horry.

[agentk1986]

[viketaker]

what a heartbreaker

[imsayintho]

when horry got that dunk over hamilton, i think either in ot or early in the 4th, guys fell out of their chairs.

[JJS14]

i was so mad whe he hit that shot :(

[ancestron]

Robert Horry saves the day

[gabrieldorothy]

big shot bobby

[izaak1011nsa]

the spurs are one of the most exciting teams i've seen, with Manu's manuvers, the big fundamental Tim Duncan, and the brake ur ankles unstoppable Tony Parker. i don't see how in the world u can even put "boring" in the same sentence. then we still have some bench players that would be on the starting lineup for most other teams, Barry,Finley,Fabricio,Elson,re­lentless 'D' Bowen,& Big shot/block Rob

[dirtydkb24fan]

lol only players on their bench id have in my starting lineup is manu and finley

[izaak1011nsa]

well there u go, that's 2 more than most other teams bench players

[dirtydkb24fan]

well ok im just making my voice heardother than that i can agree with you that i also like watching the spurs play because there fundamentalists and they show you dont have to be a stupid ass person to be good at bball.

[Congo4life]

They exciting team but damn they play dirty, they player dirty than the color of their jersey. Bruce Lee Bowen and "killer nash" bobby are cheap

[izaak1011nsa]

lol, i must admit, that was funny, dirty than the color of their jersey & Bruce Lee Bowen xD

[sawsawako]

spurs is boring for those who did not know good basketball!how sad san antonio haters do not know that...hahahaha!!!

GP SPURS GO!!!

[jobby67]

Amazing!!!

[addbball]

Just before that happened I thought. Ok...the Spurs need a 3 and Horry had been hitting a ton of shots. It would be really dumb if nobody stuck with him. And what happened? Rasheed left him. He had been hot the whole game and there was no question that he would make it if given the opportunity.

[go13suns]

If you think they are even in the same catagory as the Bulls of glory, then you have mental issues!!! The Spurs cheated and rigged their way to wins!!! Suns should've beat them if it wasn't for the bubble headed commissioner in David Stern!!! Commissioner and new Spurs player!!! Rigged the Suns series!!!

[dmaverick72]

HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!! GOOD ONE!

[ElUnicoMaster]

They are the best team in the Nba since the Jordan's Bulls.

[blueammo]

how could anyone like the spurs, they're the most boringest team to watch

[deskpro05]

thats why they are in the championship and your sitting on your ass

[lilneezy007]

it dosent matter if there boring if ur a fan

parker and ginobili are as amazing as they come and winning is more entertaining than anything

[davedewolfe1988]

too bad they won the fucking suns series, you ingorant dick...spurs for life..big shot bob is my hero

[spursfan83]

yes he is... havent u been listening?

[skeller32]

he changed his mind. He has another year in his contract so he's planning on returning for next season. It's up to the franchise to make that happen.

[Baker333]

dumb horry aint even retiring after this yr

[spursfan83]

sadly, it's horry's last year with the spurs and in the NBA. horry will always be special in my heart!

[shanto719]

ginobilli should have gotten the mvp that year not duncan

[toytoyness]

HORRY DID IT AGAIN LAST NIGHT!!!

i love that old man...

;]

[spursDynasty]

GO SPURS GO!!

[f00d]

spurs suck fat dick, but i cant hate on horry... hes made as many clutch playoff-game-winning shots as jordan

[xunlucky17x]

Do you know how stupid you sound when the basis of your argument is "spurs suck fat dick"? I'll give you the answer..

Very, very stupid.

[f00d]

how was that the basis of my argument? its simply my opinion. they're only proving my point in the suns series.

[mostballinistplayer]

thank u sheed

[spurs990395]

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lman1987]

horrey has personally cost 2 teams an NBA championship. 2002 Kings and 2005 Pistons.

[THEx1xTRUExKING]

Big Shot Bob!

[Midwestboy84]

Al Micheals said it best....this guy off the damn charts!!!!

[Phyc1]

[jerridpentz23]

I give horry props for beating us but if sheed would of played D on horry then the pistons would be back-back champions

[MahmoudAbdeljaber]

[RUVANDA]

[spurs990395]

[risy1328]

Rasheed Wallace you dumbshit, Ginobli was not even having a good game and you double teamed him.

[CR00K]

Horry, come back to the Lakers....PLEASE!

[justinr0020]

[zgmj01]

[Lgr116]

Horry really is a life saver or should i say season saver lol too bad he didnt stay in LA we could use him right now!!

[jcolunga]

If you listen closely, you can hear the Place scream "NOOOOOO!" when Horry gets the ball!

[zgmj01]

F U

[martinemmanuel23]

just ridiculous.

[BrahmaBull33]

Biggest Shot of Rob's career. That was also the best game of the 2005 nba finals. Horry was the hero. Go Spurs.

[usharimau]
