who caaaaes!!!! Hedo was a chump! Period!
Come on Marcus, at this this point last year we were coddling Hedo, starting him and giving him 10 plays a night to get his confidence up.
I'm pretty sure if you gave BB more than 2 minutes a night to get some run in with his teammates, he could figure it out.

He he, Hedo was getting 10 plays a night? A non-pure shooter was relegated to standing outside the arc shooting threes. That wasn't his game (contrary to what you seem to think Spurminator), believe me, and when the law of averages brought him back to his 37-40% 3-pt range, he fell apart. I have never denied he's soft mentally, but the extent of his "coddling" was starting him, not going out of the way to feed him the ball. Those shots he was getting midseason were because he was knocking them down. This season he's able to mix it up more and for that reason he's been reasoably successful. When he fixes his annual stretch of shooting mechanics issues, his game will really take off. I do agree that Barry's apparent role as 3-point specialist is hurting his game as well. I'm not blaming the Spurs for Hedo or Barryr's problems, I mean not too many other players will touch the rock much when you have creators like Ginobilli and Parker. It's understandable. But by the same token it's unreasonable to suddenly say these players "suck". I think Hedo has proven otherwise this season. He may not play near his potential, but he's certainly been good.
somehow I knew this er would come out in this thread.
Mannyisprick, how are you? Missed you MoFo. How's that barbed wire injury you got crossing the border? Find a free clinic to get it s ched up?
I like Whott's analysis of Hedo and Barry. But I still like Barry better, there is no denying Hedo's talents, which last year was my hope that Hedo would become the monster he can be with the Spurs it never happened. Hedo gets the shakes and in the NBA its the kiss of death. Barry, IMO, doesn't and won't come playoff time. I think in tonights game a lot of what Whotts pointed out about Barry came to light. The guy is a leader and a deadly shooter from anywhere on the court but especially inside the 3 pt line. He made some heady plays and took over on the floor. And the guys responded, I never saw Hedo do this on this team anyway. I still have high hopes for Barry come playoff time.
