did you tell him t park was so upset that he changed his avatar to finley?!?!!?
T Park

Hey Lee,

I rode that avatar from November through freakin November.

It took alot to change that avatar!!! :lol

Don't get me wrong.

I was on the Brent Barry bandwagon from day 1.

Looking at his numbers I was physched for what he would do here.

ANd he has DEFINATELY been beyond dissapointing.

Prob the biggest FA dissapointment in FA Spurs history.

haha

he has been a bit disappointing but i thought he redeemed himself a few times last year, but it was sporadic. if he keeps how he has been playing since the trade deadline up i will have no complaints. i actually would like to see 2 guard lineup with tony and barry together more instead of the 2 pg lineup, but that may be just me.

a bit

a bit??


We were told this guy was gonna be be a 6th man candidate.

And two years in a row, hes been beaten out.

Last year, Devin Brown would've been the first off the bench for SGs had he not gotten hurt.

Brent Barry has been a HUGE dissapointment.

PERIOD.

HITA, anyone? :)

Hedo was pretty disappointing too.
T Park
03-16-2006, 05:02 PM
Neither ones were FA signees.

Both were acquired in trades.


Hedo was gotten for the rotting carcass for a retiring Danny Ferry.

Seriously, is that THAT bad?

So... when it comes to Tim Duncan, most fans are "what has he done for us lately?" and completely forget what he has done for us in the very recent past...

But for Brent, it's "he sucked in the past" although he has been the difference-maker in more than one game lately....

Not a knock at anyone in this thread, just a general observation. Some people will never be happy.

03-16-2006, 05:07 PM
Im happy with how Brent has played lately.

But that doesn erase his BS from last year and all of this year, simple as that.

I couldn't think of anything to say at first... I just blurted out "Can I shake your hand?" and I still couldnt think of something to say so then I blurted out "Oh, look at my earrings!" because I wearing spurs earrings. He said "Oh, they're pretty.." and finally I thought to tell him he was one of my favorite players and I was just so excited to meet him. He was really cool the whole time. http://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smispin.gif

That being said, I don't want the Spurs to be paying him $5.5M in 2 years.

I stand corrected and apologize.


That being said, he is still way overpaid.

No, I'm not.

That was the second time that you posted that (it wasn't months ago the first time) so I thought I was wrong.

As for the other one, all in good fun. OSC was being funny and I was too....right

And you're right, BB is overpaid unfortunately. I too was also on his bandwagon- all last year too. I thought I would give him a chance this year before I came to a conclusion and well let me say this.

I was hoping the trade had gone down. But if he keeps playing the way he is...the better for the Spurs. :)


If that don't work- I was just trying to be like you. :lmao

Brent Barry has been a HUGE dissapointment.

PERIOD.


And most likely San Antonio would have had a much harder time winning that ring last year without Brent Barry. Hell just look at the spark the team has received when he gets in the games ever since the supposed trade was announced?

michael finley, brent barry, NVE, hedo and virtually 99% of the FA"s except for dare i say NAZR have been a huge dissapointment. of course fin fin and NVE have this years playoffs to prove me wrong and brent did play well in the finals but he isnt worth the money he's getting

Barry is playing great right now. Of course if his salary is keeping us from signing other players in the future, he'll have to go, but I'm certainly fine with the trade's not going down -- yet.

Go Beavs!

We would not have won the championship without Barry's big help not only in the Denver series, but the Detroit series as well. People forget quickly around here. Sure he had a bad playoff showing against his old team, but Horry had a bad showing against Fakers the year before when we lost in the second round. Who knows how Finley will do in the second round against _allas.

The fact is, Barry earned his salary last year with his finals performance, IMO. Barry has won us a few regular season games this year and now appears to be more relaxed and aggressive in his playing style since the near trade. Sure, we may trade him in the summar, but I believe he has earned his salary moreso than Rasho or Nazr.

Every veteran who signs with us has taken about a year to learn Pop's complex offense/defense system. It is harder for a veteran who has old habits ingrained to learn a new system without regressing back to old ways when the competition gets tight. Think of Nazr as well who started slowly because he missed most of training camp (due to family emergency). It is just until recently that Nazr has become better in his position, enough to earn the starting center position.

Sorry to get on a soap box especially with this thread title, but I think that some fans give him a raw deal sometimes. IMO
