We need someone to defend him, I think I remember Hill swatting his and defending him pretty well. But of course Pop will not give him any playing time.
He's pretty quick and as of late in this game he has been giving Tony problems in the second half. He can stay infront of Tony pretty well and deny penetration.

He's real good at selling offensive fouls.
You got to have the speed to stay in close though.
He owned Parker!
The kid is pretty damn good, especially given his small stature. Even so, doesn't excuse the poor play by Parker in the 2nd half. And Matt Bonner? GTFOuttahere
Let's see where Ducks and Kace are now. He kicked Tony's ass.
sorry, but JJ Barea isn't good..he's a scrub..he has skills, but he's about 5'8 and has no athleticism..players like that aren't supposed to dominate a team with "defensive principles" like the Spurs..
I can safely say that this was the most embarrassing performance our team has allowed from an individual player in recent memory..he abused Parker on both sides of the floor, and that should never happen..
take the Phil Jackson approach and start knocking him down the lane like they did to Parker all those series. shake is confidence and see how big he really is.
All he did was ride Tony's hip on every drive and draw 50/50 offensive/defenisve fouls
outa here.
Tony is at fault too...he should've pulled up all second half, hit or miss.
ill take my chances with barea every time.
Dude was no.1 scorer in the 03 world junior championship. Many top players in that tournament are in the NBA today. He has skills for sure.
who's going to do that? matt bonner?
JJB thrives on situations like this, kid has balls. He was surely our MVP tonight, along with Damp
I tip my hat for him.
I can respect guys who aren't wimps during the playoffs.
I agree. If Tony is going to be called for offensive fouls, he or other Spurs players should knock him hard, not dirty, but hard. Because in all honesty we can't really allow such a thing to happen by JJ Barea, we have Dirk, Howard, and Terry to worry about.
JJ was driving in and penetrating and finding other Mavs to get into a groove or putting up a shot that would either go in or have a Dampier put back.
Also, I firmly believe that we need George Hill logging in some backup point guard minutes.
JJ Barea clearly has skills, a lot of skills..that's why he's in the NBA, despite his height..
it doesn't change the fact that he's not supposed to break down a D and dominate like he did against a team that is SUPPOSED to have defensive principles..he isn't athletic like Nate Robinson..he's a short guy that isn't athletic..
the worst part of all was defense..guys JJ Barea's size should NEVER be able to play NBA-level D, let alone on a guy that is supposed to be a top 3 PG in the NBA..the Mavs should be punished for having Barea on the floor, just like how we were punished for having Bonner on the floor..
you would think Tony Parker could do that..
He is the new Devin Harris.![]()
J. Barea
spurs will watch film and make an adjustment
Agreed. I always love to watch Barea play... He is one of the reasons i would support dallas going forward if they beat SA.
Dallas bench alltogether played with great confidence. Also great coaching from Carlslie...
I've seen him play some games during the regular season and he at least showed some brains.
He has a ceiling in the physical department (offensive skills) but as a backup PG he's not that bad, he played a smart game and read the defenses well, so he deserves credit.
Also he had enough speed to stay in front of Parker. That's not an easy thing to do for any PG.
Not from the bench, he won't. I already said in the other thread that he could be key for you guys. Only catch though is that he can only guard either JET or JJB, while the other goes off.
if a scrub like barea is going to do this all series then you just tip your hat to them.
we can get any shot against this team but our defense has to be top notch.
thats not going to happend with bonner getting heavy mins.
Tony's in exhausted...he's been carrying this team for the entire second half of the season.
You really think that little midge is better than Parker?
