Barry was better than Manu!!!

When Manu has been most effective, IMO, he was playing with TP AND TIM on the court. That opened up a lot of things for him and he was able to get into a rythym.

Playing Finley ahead of him has helped Fin (whose shooting as the 6th man was poor during the season) but allowed the Suns to focus on Manu whenever TP or Tim is off the court and he comes in as a sub.

To be honest, the first 6 players on the Suns have a edge in talent on our first six players. And we haven't used the rest of our bench very well. Vaughn is a joke although he's trying.

Barry is a much better option with some veteran experience, good IQ and a shot when in rhythm.

the good thing about inconsistent players is that they're never really done... despite what he's doing in these playoffs, he could even be selected for the all star next year and it wouldn't surprise me at all

The lineup that worked in the 2nd and Pop went away from it right when the Spurs were pulling away:

Elson, Parker, Barry, Ginobili, Finley. Replace Elson with Oberto/Duncan and you'd get even better results...
