Jon Barry TRASHING the Spurs

[BonnerDynasty]

LOL

Better to be a has-been than a NEVER-WAS!

[superbigtime]

Did anyone see Jon Barry on ABC just completely trashing the Spurs?

Some of his last parting words were the Spurs are too "old, they're done, they are archaic".

I know the Spurs let go of his brother, Brent Barry, but he didn't have to be such an asshole on national TV? I think he should shown some respect and dignity towards a Spurs team that helped his brother win a ring.

He could have said, well, the Spurs certainly aren't looking like the previous years. Injuries have really taken a toll on this team. With Manu and Tony out at the beginning of the season, the team leaned heavily on TD. Seems the heavy minutes have taken it's toll on TD and he is battling tendonosis issues right now. So, they are not looking very good.

But to disrespect them like they are some chump team that just decided to suck this year is pretty pathetic. The dude sucks and has really shown what a classless asshole he is.

I am now glad Brent Barry is in Houston. Good riddance. Please let the door hit your brother in the face.

Yes I did see that. Wasn't exactly very diplomatic and I agree it was disrespectful and classless. He basically dismissed the Spurs as a contender and then got right back to blowing the Cavs. Jon Barry has always been a prick when it comes to the Spurs. I don't think his dad is a Spurs fan either.

[Budkin]

He's said things like this about the Spurs forever... he loves seeing them lose.

Jon Barry's a !

[Matchman]

what did you expect him to say when your team is down by 20 ?

Assuming his IQ is above 40, he could have come up with some basketball analysis. His audience isn't ST posters, he was on national tv. Duncan is not playing well because he's hurt and any basketball reporter worth his salt would know that. Duncan had been having a remarkable year averaging 20 points and 10 rebounds until the tendonosis hit in February. It's obvious, as you can see with the bulky padding on his knees that he's hampered. The Spurs streak began to decline coincidentally when Duncan got hurt. So no, it is not that simple. And, fans who respect the game of Basketball and perhaps aren't Spurs fans would have probably liked to know that, instead of the same pathetic analysis from Barry-they are just old and archaic.

Like father, like son. One leads to another.

Brent got much more from this team and this city than he brought to the court. (And he wasn't nearly as funny as he thought he was.) After he got to Houston, he had some things to say about the Spurs that were out of line. him too.

His head looks like shaved monkey nuts

Is this the Barry that was not good enough to win a championship?

[Austin_Toros]

Time to start rebuilding. Might as well get in early.
Thabeet, anyone?

What did he say? I never heard about this.

This may be the only one that got made public, but he started running his mouth the moment he got to town.

“That’s probably the least that he (Bowen) has hacked McGrady since they’ve been in there,” commented Worrell.

“Bowen’s a little befuddled by the call,” followed Bullard. “But we’ve talked to Brent Barry, who played here in San Antonio for four years about Bruce Bowen, and he says ‘You know what? Bruce is a very dirty player.”

And while this made for great TV, Brent Barry might not be so appreciative of the broadcasters revealing his true feelings next time the Spurs and Rockets face off.

When someone can prove that anything Barry said is untrue, let me know. Until then, I have no problem with anything he said. I happen to believe that they're just stupid instead of old and lazy, but maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part. Maybe George Hill really can't stand 20 feet from the basket and not touch the ball, and maybe Bruce Bowen instead of Michael Finley would have allowed Lebron James to score more than 18 points in the first quarter.

There's an old story that you can put a team of monkies on typewriters, and eventually they will bang out all the works of Shakespeare through simple random chance. I'm guessing that's how your stupid ing post was created. Can you prove it wasn't? The fact that I feel that way must make it true, and okay to say. Right?

Even if everything Jon Barry says were true (and it isn't), it's possible to be truthful and still be a . Now, get your old, lazy, stupid monkies back to work typing up a witty comeback.

I got 10 words....

Jon Barry,and the ESPN horse he rides on!!!!

[Dr. Gonzo]

Why does it matter?

[TampaDude]

WGAF about that loser???

[new_N_town]

id rather listen 2 cheryl miller and nancy lieberman then jon barry

[Girasuck]

I saw it and I also saw Avery Johnson with that "I'm gonna hit you" look after Barry said it. Funny that only 2 years ago John Barry was kissing some big time Spurs ass in the WCF.

[rascal]

Why even bother to start a thread about this? Why are you so sensitive about what Jon Barry thinks or says anyways.

Its well known around the league Bowen is a dirty player. He wouldn't be in the league if he didn't try the tricks of dirty play to get into opponents heads.

Only biased Spur fans turn a blind eye to it.

So the media is now supposed to throw softballs for professional sports teams?

If there is anything nobody should have to be politically correct about, it's critiquing professional sports teams and players performance.

What Barry said is true. The Spurs are old and archaic and they are also done. Do you need it to be sugar coated in the form of censored Mike Breen NBA coverage?

Do Duncan and Ginobili have injury problems? Probably but that comes with the territory. They're out of the prime of their careers and aging quickly.

Duncan's play has been diminishing for years but not many people remember Duncan's first half of his career so it was glossed over. Ginobili plays with no regard for his health and it's finally overtaking him.

Spurs had a great run, but it's over. They're done as far as being a contender.

Lakers, Celtics, Cavs, Magic all roll them right now.

Jazz, Hornets, Rockets probably beat them as well.

[Obstructed_View]

Prove it. Until then, quit being such a sensitive pussy. The Spurs looked like on national TV. If they don't want to be insulted by people that dislike them, maybe they should try harder to win.

[Gervin44Silas13]

Your such a Judas!!!!!!!

See what I mean Spurs fans your Typical Bandwagon Fan!
