    As a multi-million dollar rabbit's foot? Sure, it's not my money.

    To take away minutes from Scola, Landry, or even Hayes? Unless it's the last minute, no thanks.

    If the gods never favored Robert Horry, what did the gods do to Luther Head?

    rob will only play with a dominant big man on a team who is a championship contender.

    he will also want to be a rotation player.

    i think the celtics are the odds on favorite.

    The gods favor the hell out of Luther Head. I can't figure out any other way to explain how that guy is making the money he's making.

    If we feel comfy giving Hayes minutes than why not Horry? He still defends well, can actually pass and hit free throws.

    I used to love Horry a lot as a Rocket and the clutchest player in NBA history not named Jordan. But every since he was in Spurs jersey, he has turned into an ******* who prides himself for throwing cheap shots.

    I am surprise he wanted to play 2 more years. He looked old and played badly against Lakers recently. He was the one who failed to the get the ball in the
    critical moment (near the end) when SAS was losing and the ball hit his leg and got out of bound. I thought his reaction was slow when the ball was thrown to him at that moment.

    I wish he retire at SAS immediately and come back to HOUSTON as a life-time fan. This will make me happy.

    Robert Horry is the clutchest player ever. I'd much rather him getting garbage minutes than, say, Steve Novak. Sign him up for two years and let him win his last two rings where he won his first two.

    thanks weslinder,

    this is what every newb doesn't get. its not like Horry is going to be used for 20 minutes each game in the regular season. he'll be lucky to play 5 minutes per game. however, in the playoffs, a healthy Robert Horry will be good for us for several key moments or plays. but those little moments can propel a team to the second round of the playoffs. A key rebound, a key steal, a block, or someone hitting a 3 pointer.

    its psychological too. the other team you knows you have Horry. In the 4th quarter, nobody wants to be the sucker in ESPN highlights that left him open.
