I think Devin Brown will be or atleast has the potential to be the XFactor in this series not Brent Barry or any other player. First of all because the Sonics are really not expecting much of Devin and can catch them by surprise pretty much the way Damien Wilkins caught the Spurs offguard. Devin Brown is a type of player that feeds off of rhythm and a couple of successful jump shots. If Pop puts him in and hits his first shot then Devin will have a great game. Devin can come in and contribute defensively on handling Antonio Daniels and keep him from being a factor for the rest of the series. Brent Barry is a fine player but you can also say his struggling is due to his relationship with the Sonics players they are already familiar with Barry's playing style and technique.
Tim,Manu,and Parker will get their numbers but the Sonics will concentrate on shutting everyone else down. So they key is atleast one more guy needs to step and who else but to have a player who is itching to have big minutes and someone is ready to contribute and someone who the Sonics are not familiar with and don't know what he is capable of. So who can be the XFactor. You don't need to go too far the guy has lived in San Antonio his whole life. Devin Brown. COME ON SPURS! NO ONE COMES INTO OUR HOUSE AND PUSHES US AROUND! IT'S TIME TO PLAY!

Yup.... Start Manu and let Devin come off the bench for him. Manu has hit more threes than Barry and by the way Devin played against the Lakers last year he wont be scared to shoot.

Hell even Casper the friendly ghost would be better than Barry. I hope Brown is better and is ready to go tonight.

What do you mean what can Devin to to the Sonics?
He will be able to hit the open jumpers from anywhere on the court opening up everything for the players around him. More importantly Tim Duncan. He can matchup very well against Antonio Daniels and he has very good lateral quickness and great court awareness. Devin needs to play.

Brown's a young guy, hopefully he can bounce back from injury and get into this series. At least a whole lot of stupid posters aren't calling him out, saying its the playoffs like Kobe did to DRob with his bad back.

I think he was trying to paradize the UPS slogan... "What can Brown do for you"

Sorry Jim. Didn't know that is what you were trying to do.

It was a little obscure, no problem.
I have been begging Pop to play him for a week now.
His game fits in great against this team, as well as against Phoenix.

Expect Devin to be the first guy off the bench for Manu. Devin will play tonight and will play well.

I know I've been a supporter of Barry all season, but this series, he is just not getting it done. Insert Devin Brown wherever Pop decides not to put Manu. If he still wants Manu to come off the bench to provide that spark, then start Devin.... he could guard Lewis (if he plays). If Pop starts Manu... Brown can provide a bigger spark off the bench that Barry could...
Expect Devin to be the first guy off the bench for Manu. Devin will play tonight and will play well.
This is what i am hoping for!!
