Brent Barry

[wijayas]

Does anyone else find it facinating that Barry, after missing over 2 months of game time, can come into a playoff game 3 straight times and hit his first shot, not just his first shot, but from downtown?

If he gets some playing time in practice in next week, he can be huge for SA in winning their next series. His stroke looks just as sweet as ever.

And did you notice that he made all his three pointers in this series? 100% baby...

Barry's return to action without any apparent rust is surprising. He can be a tremendous asset during our run through the playoffs as his conditioning improves.

I've more impressed with Barry's passing in this game. He just has such a great chemistry on the court with Ginobili and Parker. He's good at directing everyone to their spots on offense and I love that Pop decided to go with a backcourt of Barry/Ginobili when Parker is getting his rest.

Barry is like 6/6 in this series or something (or maybe it's 4/4)


Either way, he hasn't missed a SINGLE shot.


God bless him.

He got stuffed at the rim in the last few seconds of game 3.

There's also the matter of not rushing his recovery. He played really well his last return, too...right up until he re-tore the calf muscle. He needs to build up his minutes slowly. He's playing about 10 mpg. Maybe next round he's good for 15.

I guess every thread now is going to be about what a sucker Kerr is.

It is taking over all the threads like the Manu vs Parker debate used to.


Timvp, thanks for that.


Most of you stayed in the spirit of the thread's topic and do appreciate Brent's amazing shooting, after such a long layoff.

BTW, I am such a Brent Barry fan, I named my son Brent.

As Pop would say...

Shooters are like a good wine, they get better with age.

This has nothing to do with BB, but i like the quote.

Damn, I am truly a jinx.

#1. I don't think Kerr particularly enjoyed the way he was used here in SA...and I don't think he liked being traded.

Keep in mind...Pop wanted Kerr to come back and Kerr elected to retire instead.


#2. Kerr kind of turned into a head in an attempt to pass himself off as an unbiased commentator...he talked some last year about how Duncan should have been suspened for walking onto the court(he was wrong btw) and Pop had some choice suggestions for him...I think Kerr's intent was to settle some grudges with Pop more than anything else...to teach Pop a lesson so to speak.


His idea about getting Shaq was a good one IMO...but it was never any sort of a guarantee to beat the Spurs even if Shaq meshed perfectly...it was definitely a gamble and Kerr is losing that gamble...not so much because it was a bad gamble...but it was a gamble and other things are going wrong for the Suns...that don't have that much to do with Shaq...Kerr didn't think about anything else due to inexperience and now he is getting owned...plus he now has incurred some bad blood with Spurfans for going Sun on us...with little or no provocation...

Basically, I look at it as he's trying to Tim Duncan...the guy who put two rings on his finger...for absolutely no reason.


Kerr wasn't run out of town...Pop wanted him back... I believe Duncan wanted him back. He was extremely popular here...he was sharing the local announcing gig with Elliott.


So he has no legitimate axe to grind save one with Pop...he's just going to take his old teamates down with him in the process of acting on his grudge with Pop...


Kerr deserves this owning he is getting.




Make no mistake about it...Kerr is a flat out ing traitor...he knows what the repeat means...and he was trying to kill it.


This hurts to say...but Kerr is more of a traitor than AJ for his words and deeds since leaving SA...at least in AJ's case AJ basically got dumped whereas Kerr didn't...he elected not to come back, he elected to try to get Duncan unjustly(and wrongly) suspended, and he elected to go Sun on us...

Yeah. Only Phoenix fans make stupid remarks. Go figure.

Where did you hear that?

[SpurAddict561]

If you ever get to a game early enough in SA watch Brent warm up. He rarly misses a 3 ball. I think he is the most fun to watch. he once hit like 32 3s in a row before missing.

ya man, I watched him when he returned for the first warm up in Orlando this year

he must've shot like 50 3's, and only missed like 1 or 2...

guy is amazing.
