Oh yeah and for the record I did not make this thread to bash Tony. This is about JJ Barea and WTF is happening.
Also we need Bowen logging in like 35 minutes per game. I don't care.

So what... A lot of players carrie their team in the season and still play great in the playoofs. TP will just need to play like in the first half every game if we want to win some games.
Manu is the team's true backup point and this is where him not being on the roster sucks. He allows Tony to take a breather, can be on the floor with Mason at the 3, and possibly even sldie over to the 3 to allow George and Parker to take care of the backcourt, but such is life.
Hill should likely log more minutes as the series progresses and Pop truly identifies Barea as an unstoppable force. I still believe at such a critical junture he would be best at logging time at SG while guarding the point and switching off to Terry. That way he can allow the offense to come to him.
Barea has made amazing improvements. He used to be thought of as a scrub.
When your team is being broken down by Frodo on skates, you know you have problems.
i really wouldnt mind seeing barea guard Tp all series. they still dont have an answer for him, pop just need to manage his mins better and that 2nd unit has got to hold the fort.
Your mvp was wearing black and white. Amazing dampier fouls every ing other player in the league but not Duncan, This is the continued revenge of crawford you think these refs don't stick together. And gay j barea give me a break he's a little pussy with his mouth guard, he's a luck chuck got who had the refs suck him off for some unknown reason.
You mad?
Too much of the offense is played around Parker now. He is an explosive player but does seem to tire a bit. He is a first quarter type of player.
hey you should think about changing your name...![]()
I've been here a long time. I'm not changing.
Take Parker out for a bit, replace him with Hill and replace his offense with Gooden. I would have thought Pop would love Hill for his defense, sure he cannot score like Parker but his defense is pretty good
Nice adjustment by Dallas with Barea...Where was our adjustment, putting G Hill on him????
Man...Bonner was terrible tonight!
The question remains: How do teams continue to take guys like Barea and make then good back-up PG's while the Spurs still can't seem to develop one?
Barea got into Tony's head. And that is inexcusable at this point in time.
The key- he made great adjustments.
He's primarily an undersized SG and a combo guard at best.
FU for putting me and Ducks in the same category.
anyway, i didn't see the game yet. I assume Tony gets time defending Terry and Kidd and they had a quiet game. Even Barea was 14 pts at 6-14, not shooting 80 %.
but he already gave Tony problems in the RS. He attacked him like he had something to prove. we'll have to find a way to contain him better though.
but only looking at the boxscore, the scoring was obviously very well shared for the mavs. with Howard with 25 pts in almost only three QT. and bass and dampier at 12-15. it looks like we have multiple adjustements to make and at multiple position.
The problem was on the other end. Watch the game, you'll see what I mean.
My point exactly. They have taken a midget SG and made him into a respectable back-up PG while George Hill sits on the Spurs' bench.
I'm talking about George Hill.
EDIT: Nice cleanup after you saw your mistake. Barea is a PG and that's his only position.
a back up point guard is eating our MVP alive![]()
his defense on tony on the 2nd half ? i prefer to think it was tony missing or running out of gas. i didn't see anyone able to really stop tony one on one in this league. if the mavs have a secret weapon with this dwarf, it would be unexpected and terrible for us. we'll see.
I'm not just talking about Hill. I am talking about years of no decent back-up PG on the Spurs while other teams manage to find guys who are not even drafted who can be decent back-up PG's.
And playing Mason at PG pretty much throws out the notion that the Spurs will only play pure PG's. If they will play Mason at it. why not Hill? At least Hill can defend PG's better than Mason can.
Did you not say you did not even watch the game- How can you make a comment like that?
