Brent Barry Saved the Fucking Day Tonight

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

With Tony Parker laying an egg, Brent Barry stepped up huge.

5 points, 4 boards, 2 assists, 2 steals, 1 block.

[chaco]

Tony 3/11 & 3 Ast

[Nikos]

HUGE Game from Brent. He played a nice all around game. I love it.

[JUUOT]

i was thinking about it.
people said nobody was there to save parker but... barry came from nowhere and did it.
TOO GGOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD CHAMPIONS

[conversekid]

HUGE Game from Brent. He played a nice all around game. I love it.

When we got him... i was a huge fan for about 3/4 the season and then I became indifferent... i said, "if he shows up in the playoffs, then he was worth it... i'll save my judgement for barry until then"


he stepped up in game 7 of the finals and played aggressive... proud of him and he was worth the money spent on him.

[Tobias]

When we signed him I said "If he plays likre shit all season, but comes up big to to help us win the finals, I'm all for it"

I should shut up the next time we sign someone

[whottt]

I am just glad he didn't try to jack up threes on the tight D...this was the type of game he plays off the bench...

Barry is a PG...we need to let him do this a little next season...preferably before we get to the last 2 games of the damn NBA finals.

[whottt]

If only we'd kept Shane Heal last season...sigh.

[spurster]

Brent played good enough tonight. Parker did too.

[SouthernFried]

Brent played better than Parker in the Finals..just like Claxton played better than Parker in Finals.

[Dre_7]

Like I said after the regular season when everyone was down on him: "He will come up big sometime in the playoffs!"

Better late then never!! WCF, Game 7 NBA Finals, what better time to show up??

[2centsworth]

We messed up the entire season, brent is really a point guard and a damn good one at that.

[baseline bum]

Mission accomplished Brent! Those number do him no justice. This guy completely turned it around after that Seattle series. What a special performance.

[mattyc]

Bones owned early.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Talk about irony. The guy was everyone's favorite goat all year long, then he nuts up and plays his best game of the year in game 7 of the NBA Fucking Finals.

[ducks]

He Might Have Saved Himself From Getting Traded

[manubili]

Brent match very well with Manu. Tony doesn't.

[Chris]

Brent Barry's defense was excellent tonight and he had a very timely 3 pointer in the seconf quarter I believe.

I don't think Barry is a sufficient PG only because he lacks speed.

As far as Parker goes, as long as he can carry us through the regular season (which he did) he can be as inconsistent as he wants during the playoffs because we undoubtedly have guys that will step up and do the job when they need to.

[thispego]

Bones Owns You

[MI21]

Parker was amazing defensively. It's half the game people.

That was the 2nd best game Brent Barry has played in a Spurs uniform, behind only Game 1 of the WCF. Beno is going to be expendable, because Barry HAS to be backup PG next season. When he is on court with Ginobili, things happen.

I am willing to give Brent a pass for the whole season because of this one game. Congratulations,Whottt.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

lol bones rules

[conversekid]

hedo rocked all year and sucked in the playoffs
barry sucked most the season and nutted up in game 7 to help us win

You choose.

[T Park]

big ups to brent barry.


Nuts of fuckin steel.

Trade Beno in the offseason, package him up, make Brent Barry the back up.

I have a deep down feeling that Barry, next year, being more comfortable, being more used to everything, will REALLY break out.

[DDS4]

Parker played good D and ran the offense. Sure he sucked ass shooting tonight but he did other things just like Brent.

fuck that, you have to keep beno, he rocked all season long as a rookie, let beno be the main back pg and let barry swing back and forth between the guard positions

[dn0]

Who would have said that Brent will come up big in the BIGGEST game of the year.. he re-earned my respect.

[thispego]

i knew he had to nut up eventually, he's too good not to

[Mr. Body]

Absolutely keep Udrih. Develop him - he has a great outside shot and can share PG/SG duties off the bench with Barry. He's a talent and if we do let him go at some point, his value will just go up every year.

[Jelly]

ALL our Spurs won this!! Aggie, I hate to turn this negative, but you suck as a Spurs fan. You give no credit to Timmy or the other guys. Tim got 25 fucking points!! More than anyone on the FUCKING COURT! You're always posting bullshit Aggie. Just admit you suck as a Spurs fan and go crawl back in your hole.

[MI21]

tony parker sucked again in the finals......he better step up his game next year 20pts 10assts or pop WILL trade him.

Hmmmm. 14ppg on 46% and fantastic defense.

He showed me some things this series, that even when he is sucking on O, he can contribute.

[TwoHandJam]

Brent played huge during a critical stretch and was instrumental in getting Billups to sit with foul trouble early. As others said, this one game erases a lot of the bad we saw in him during the season. He should only get better next year.

[mattyc]

Biggest game of the year and Bones showed up. The dude shut alot of us up.

[TwoHandJam]

Hmmmm. 14ppg on 46% and fantastic defense.

He showed me some things this series, that even when he is sucking on O, he can contribute.
That is true. If Parker can just develop a jumper, it would totally open up his game. The sky is the limit for him if he gets a consistent J. He would be unguardable.

Dude, he is 23!!!!!!

[adidas11]

Another great playoff series by the future superstar...Tony Parker! LMAO!!!!!!!!!

[DieMrBond]

Darn Tootin - Brent played well, i knew i was sitting there hoping for a good game from him and he delivered!

[CubanMustGo]

Another great playoff series by the future superstar...Tony Parker! LMAO!!!!!!!!!

How did Kobe do in the playoffs this year?

[davi78239]

Very good game by Brent. This should give him a lot of confidence for next season and then he can be as good as we all know he really is.

[Horry For 3!]

That is what I told my friends after the game. Barry played a damn good game and esp defensively. Tony pissed me off.

[Kori Ellis]

Tony played awesome D on Rip in the 4th after the switch was made. So he didn't totally suck. Brent had a good night but he didn't exactly "save the day".

Timmy, Manu and BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE saved the day.

[timvp]

Hell yes. Brent Barry has now earned my undying support. In the biggest game in Spurs history, he shook his nervous look and was ready to ball. I've been waiting for that switch the whole season. On the three pointer that he hit, he actually didn't fade on the shot and try to run back on defense before he released the ball. He caught the ball, set up and drained that MFer.

He's clutch. It took the biggest game in Spurs history to see it, but this mang is clutch.

He's officially off my shyt list for life. He now joins my list of players such as Stephen Jackson, Mario Elie and Steve Kerr.

Props, Billion.

Mad props.

:smokin

[duncan_21]

Beno's not that bad, he's a damn rookie. He did a good job this reg season. Why trade a guy that is real value at his cap number. I really hope that tp works on that jumper.

If he can consistently hit the 3 he becomes almost unstoppable.

[timvp]

Keep Beno. He'll be the backup PG next season. For a rookie, he played well in the playoffs as a whole.

[SWC Bonfire]

Brent Barry played a great game.

It looked like he fought through a bunch of screens and defended well. He hit some shots with authority. He inbounded the ball... scratch that.:lol

He was out there like he wanted it. This was the Brent Barry that we all expected; maybe this is a sign of what's to come... :tu

[reddog 99]

big nuts.... big nuts......

Barry was un fucking beliveable...

I was happy to see his pops there.

Redemption IMO for a wierd year for him.

If he would have stunk it up and we lost.

:hang

[Dex]

But no, Brent Barry doesn't have any balls. :rolleyes

Now that Barry has finally worked past all his own expectations and achieved his goals, he can finally get back to just playing basketball now. He showed last night how he can be a huge roleplayer for this team, just like everyone was expecting when we signed him.

[boutons]

Agree with all the good things about Brent.

Game7 was his baptism of fire, and I sure to hell hope he feels, ring-adorned, fully "Spur-ified" and integrated into the Spurs organization, finding the confience on which to Keep Up The Good work next season.

Go Brent Go

[ManuTastic]

I'd say two changes made this win possible:
1-doing a better job fighting over/through the pick on the high screen. I haven't reviewed the game yet, but it seemed Detroit wasn't able to get those great mismatches as much this game. Good job by all the guards on that.
2-Putting Bowen on Chauncey late. Grounded his ass good.
Nice job Pop.

3-and oh yeah, throwing a zone up a few times.
