Charles is right.

[SpursFanDan]

Start Ginobili

[ALVAREZ6]

Damn right.

Barry is a waste of a player, a waste of money to the spurs.

He does nothing AT ALL.

[nickbroken]

Whottt coming to Barry's defense in 3...2...1

[texbumTHElife]

Thats a start

How about completely refocusing this team on the task at hand. This team slept through game three and didnt even show up for game four. I know Pop is not the best motivater but he better find his "inner Rudy" if we are going to win this thing. I guarantee if we struggle like this with Seattle, Miami and Detroit will roll us in the Finals if we dont correct these mental errors.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I thought this was going to be about the fact that when you start Barry and Bowen, Ray doesn't have to guard anyone defensively.

Bowen has been a zero this series at the offensive end, and after the defensive boot camp for Barry in the fall he can't shoot for shit.

Introducing this year's Hedo Turkey-loo: Brent "the Invisible Man" Barry! way to be there for the team Bent Barry. Can we swap you for your bro? He's got a little toughness, he'll put up some resistance to the basket, he ain't afriad to shoot it.

Nice of you to get rich at the Spurs expense.

If Devin hadn't gotten hurt Barry would be burried in the bench next to Messenberg.

[baseline bum]

Barry didn't lose this game... Parker did.

[Eric]

4-down did. Duncan got points, but that offense is a turnover waiting to happen, and they did.

[Man In Black]

Barry didn't lose this game... Parker did.
Bing-fuckin'-O

Add some backup fuckups by Beno and there you have it.

[UnknownPlayer]

Barry didn't lose this game... Parker did.

That's a fact, just watch this game tomorrow.

[baseline bum]

Parker couldn't guard Ridnour and the Spurs could not hit threes until the game was decided. If the Spurs aren't hitting their threes they have no real offense.

[Tres_Till_it_MHz]

I was aight with Brent before this game, I say sit that mutha at the end of the bench. Chicken Nugget firmly planted within ole boys throat.

Spurs are not what they were early season passing the ball and making people look silly. :hang

[mcshine]

Barry didn't lose this game... Parker did.

A few spurs lost this game, cuz it wasn't close.
Porker got punked and seems like he's reverting to last year against the fakers.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

If the Spurs aren't hitting their threes they have no real offense.

Therein lies my rub with Pop's offense, for what looks to be five of the last seven years now.

[Tom_Foolery]

Start Manu and play Devin off the bench just to get him warmed up for the next series.


Devin Brown > Brent Barry


Let's all remember the reason why Manu got benched. It was because Barry sucked so bad at scoring off the bench...now he's sucking at scoring at all!

[Manu20]

Manu should start the next game.

BTW Devin looked good tonight. I hope he is ready to contribute because Barry is not doing nothing right now.

[Tres_Till_it_MHz]

I'm down with that, who is gonna tell Pop, me or you?

[TDfan2007]

Parker/Manu lost the game for us.

Manu's inablility to pass the ball or drive w/out turning the ball over and Tony's inability to gaurd Luke fucking Ridnour (I can't believe I'm typing this) really cost us.

p.s. I'm not blaming Brent because I don't even expect anything from him anymore.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I don't want to take all the blame away from Manu, but a high pick and roll involving Nazr isn't exactly the best play to be running with Nazr.

[E20]

I'm willing to give Barry another chance to nut up and play some ball.

[beirmeistr]

Charles and Magic both had the opinion that it's time to start Ginobili again. I agree with that. What's the sense in bringing in Manu off the bench when we are already down by 8 points? Let him kickstart the offense from the start, especially if Parker shows up with another lethargic first quarter beginning? I was pumped up for this game but I did not see a sense of urgency or intensity from the starters. And I'm beginning to think that Manu's benching has affected the accuracy and timing of his passes. He was not on his passing game. They did not give away this game. The Sonics took it.
I hope Coach Popovich starts the 5 regular starters from this season---Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, Rasho, and Bowen, in game 5.

[DDS4]

I say start the big 3 and stagger their rest after that. Starting with Parker after 5-6 minutes with Beno and go from there.

Pop has got to let the big 3 play 38+ mins and shorten up the rotation.
