Having him as Bibby's only back-up is even risky IMHO. He's not getting any younger either.
Of course Horry did choke against LA last season (2004). Actually was horrible on both ends and missed open shots, several of them.
Interesting thing about Game 5, is Billups was the only Piston doing well on offense, not like the entire team was kicking their ***. Another funny thing was Horry missed about 4 wide open layups in the first half that could have extended to Spurs lead to about 14-16 of that first half in Game 5.
Why is LA credited for being such a great title team in your eyes Brick, when they needed an Horry miracle to beat the Kings without their 2nd best player? Aren't a lot of titles won on last second shots?
Isn't it a little simplistic to credit Horry for their title? Wasn't Horry the reason the Lakers won in 2002 as well by that logic?
And why not just call Pop and Duncan chokers, they are the only constants in SA over the last decade.

There's a reason why guys like Duncan and KG don't get traded. If you find a building block like that, you don't let them go for anything. I don't think that's evidence so much of those franchises being better at evaluating talent, it's a sign that they got really lucky and hit the lotto with a top pick at the right time. We, on the other hand, were fortunate enough to have the top pick in one of the worst drafts of all time and plucked out Pervis Ellison to be our franchise man. But it's not like there was a Duncan or a KG there that we passed up. If San Antonio drafts Pervis Ellison instead of Duncan, do they even sniff at a title in the last 10 years? I think not.
