Why Did we Bring in Brent Barry If We're Not Going to Use Him When He's Hot?

no you are thinking entirely wrong, we hit clutch threes throughout every game, and most importantly in the fourth, almost entirely due to the fact htat they double teamed duncan and he kicked it out.

One player stood up above all others in terms of shooting clutch 4th quarter threes (See: Jackson, Stephen)

A little too late will not get you more playing time.

the statement was made that kicking it out for three's is how we won 2 championships. if that was true david and tim would have had 10 assists a piece. it was timely shooting... yes... and those threes were awesome back-breaking killers. but do you remember the dallas series? (See: Kerr, Steve)

game 2 we hit a bunch of 3's and all of a sudden we're a 3 point shooting team... who wins outside/in and not inside/out or dribble penetration for kickouts... and ball movement to open guys? man.

At the cost of losing some defense, I think timely substitutions of Barry for Bowen might work offensively because Barry gets respect and opens up the floor. Like in the classic game in Phoenix.
