Why do we keep wasting our time talking about this bull ? JON BARRY HATES THE SPURS.
Just saw where Jon Barry and Michael Wilbon picked the NBA playoffs bracket style. Barry picked the West and Wilbon the East. Barry has the Spurs losing to the Thunder in the 2nd Round. (The only upset that was picked)
Their picks
WCF: Thunder vs Lakers (Lakers win)
ECF: Bulls vs Celtics (Celtics win)
42 games above .500....still no love

What a dip . There's literally no way that could happen beyond a catastrophic meltdown of the Spurs starters.
If Perkins is healthy this series will go 7 games. I'd still take the Spurs though
I'll agree with that...but that's a pretty big "IF". That's like saying "If Yao Ming" or "If Greg Oden" can stay healthy...
Not a fair comparison. Perkins isn't chronically injured like the other 2. Before Game 6 last year he was solid as a rock. Either way I'd still take SA in the series.
If I had a brother, and someone on the Spurs ed his wife and publicly embarrassed him and his kids, I'd root against them, pick against them at every given opportunity, use my public job to insult and talk them down and I'devery time they lost or met the slightest misfortune, and I've been a Spurs fan for 25 years.
This is reality, folks.

well said....
Sportswriter Jackie MacMullan on ESPN's Bill Simmons podcast (3/11) picked the Spurs to make it out of the West

Yeah, but Jon Barry's hated the Spurs long before the whole Parker fiasco.
Yeah But I think a trend is starting to form with Perk. Do you honestly think the Celtics would trade away a good young center (only like 3 of them in the NBA) if they think he's gonna be fine. I'm just going off of what the Celtics have done. I don't think Danny Ainge is stupid. And trading away a "healthy" perk would be stupid.
Spurs beat OKC in 6.
Parker textedPERIOD
No he hasn't. He declared them done last year, but so did a lot of people because they ing sucked last year. I remember the year before that where he went on a big rant about how good and underappreciated they are.
Lol @ people treating Perkins like the next coming of Shaq. He's an upgrade, but hardly enough to beat the Spurs. Westbrook is still highly overrated and Durant still hasn't done anything in big games.
Do people still take Jon Barry seriously?
lol, at least he was honest last week when he said he wanted the Lakers to beat the Spurs.
I wouldn't call Jon Barry a Spurs-homer. But he's definately no Chris Broussard (Spurs Hater #1)
Perkins was only as good defensively as Garnett yelling at him when he was out of position made him.
tbh, our worst mismatch with OKC was Jeff Green on offense vs any of our bigs. He really stretched the floor for their penetrators.
I'm surprised he picked the Spurs getting out of the first round, tbqh.
And in that RJ/McDyess offseason several if not most of the talking heads picked the Spurs as a strong contender, even Coach Pop joked he should be fired if he couldn't bring home a championship with that talent. Well it took a season longer than expected but the Spurs are back into contention now but good luck getting attention over the defending LA champs, Heat, Bulls, and Celtics.
Please...I wouldn't call Jon Barry a Spurs-homer. But he's definately no Chris Broussard (Spurs Hater #1)
Meh, Broussard is like a lot of the pampered ESPN reporters that don't like staying anywhere that isn't LA, Chicago, New York or Miami.I wouldn't call Jon Barry a Spurs-homer. But he's definately no Chris Broussard (Spurs Hater #1)
Ainge traded Perk b/c of his exorbitant asking price ($10mil/year if I'm not mistaken), and since he was a FA after the season he didn't want to lose Perk for nothing. I'm not calling Ainge stupid, but since it looked like a deal wasn't going to get done he tried to get something instead of nothing. Perkins is still very young (26), and has proven to be an EXCELLENT low-post defender. He defends Howard, Bynum, Shaq, etc better than anyone in a 1-on-1 capacity.
