Get off his ing jock. He had ONE ING GOOD GAME, and you keep waving it like a surrender flag. Every blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while. Phoenix was Barry's acorn....look the Phoenix...
Slumps can.but chokes don't last for an entire freaking season.
Sucking can.
Being afraid can.
Is this really the number of shot attempts you expected from Barry in this situation?
Yes or no?

True.
Shooters that are afraid aren't shooting 667% from the field and 1000% from the FT line in clutch situations.Being afraid can.
I think it's more than he doesn't want to force shots because he knows he sucks right now...what you fail to notice is that he is effective even when his shot isn't falling...
I expected his shot attempts to go down...who shots down't go down on a team with Tim Duncan?Is this really the number of shot attempts you expected from Barry in this situation?
Yes or no?
I didn't expect him to shoot at this ty of a PCT though...did anyone?
I just don't think he sucks as badly as everyone else does...and I am 3 pointer freak remember?
It's got nothing to do with choking...choking is done in moments. Choking is performing well and then underperforming when it matters most...Barry has been an equal opportunity player all season...he's played good in big games and he's sucked bad against ty teams...and vice versa.
I'll take that as a no, asshole.
Whott there is a reason Barry wasn't on the floor in the fourth when the Spurs almost pulled it out. There's a reason Pop had his ass planted on the bench. Pop knows it. All of SA save one person knows it. "It" is that Barry sucks. Guess who doesn't know it.
No to some of it...I didn't expect him to shoot this ty for the entire season. But I am not surprised his shot attempts are down. I think you are pretty much ignorant of how the Spurs offense works if you expected his shot attempts PCT to stay the same...
I guess David Robinson choked when Duncan became the offensive focal point too then.
2 shots today is a joke. You can't spin that at all.
DRob would've taken more than 2 shots today and you on his memory for thinking that would be alright.
IT's unfortunate...because Barry was on the court for the virtually the entire 4th quarter of not one but our two biggest comebacks wins of the season...Really the only two chances he's gotten in that situation.
I don't expect the basketball challenged IQ's I am arguing with to pick up on that second one though...because Barry didn't shoot well that game.
Tell you what...tell me what the score was the last time Barry was in the game and what our final margin of loss was...for this game.
How'd you boys non chokers do?
We got pulled away from didn't we?
Barry is making Carl Herrera look like a successfull signing.
Pop has got to be disgusted.
BTW, I think he has missed 41 of 43 of his last three point attempts.
Absolutely pathetic.
At least they tried.
Taking bad shots equals trying?
Hmmm why aren't you upset about the Malik Rose trade? bag.
Yeah, and what a stunning success that was. Good thing Pop put in Tony "3/4" Parker to bring the offense to a screeching hault instead of having Barry and Beno push the ball, and at least give Barry the chance to hit a big shot. Bones' 3pt% sucks, but the rest of his game is still solid. Maybe if he got some touches and was allowed to get in to the flow of the offense, his shooting would fall in line with the rest of his game.
Pop has said he's disappointed in Barry's play this year. Barry has said he's disappointed in Barry's play. Parker has said he's disappointed in Barry's play. Duncan has said Barry will come around. What does this translate to? To date Barry sucks. He's had multiple chances. Today no TD. A token Manu. A big game. The guy is worked like a $2.00 by Prince and takes two frickin shots. What a gamer. About time to put him on the shelf and move his ass this summer. I count on nothing from Barry in the playoffs.
PicNRoll...if it makes you feel any better Barry has disappointed me too this season
But Gerryatricks nailed it...he hasn't played as badly as people say and when called up to do something he's pretty much done it...including hit big shots.
You boys are being blined by the stats...the guys who miss shots when it gets tight and with games on the line are Devin and Beno....not Barry.
Open your eyes and you will see why I don't want Barry out of the rotation.
I rip guys who can't shoot mercilessly...why you think I hate AJ? I ripped Smitty and Hedo and if Barry chokes I will rip him worse than anyone because I hate freaking chokers...I just don't think that's what Barry is.
And this isn't some preseason take I am trying to defend...I wanted Jack back...when we first signed Barry I said I would have rather had Jon...but the ripping on Barry is way overblown...
Case in point...TPark called him wild...this is the guard with the best Assist to TO ratio on the team, and the one with fewest TO's per game...and TPark calls him wild.
Want to say Barry is shooting ty? Go ahead, it's pretty much indefensivle...want to say he totally sucks? That's false, he doesn't.
The non-Barry Spurs sure missed their open shots in crunch time. I call it choking.
I'm sick of hearing how misused Barry is. This offense doesn't fit Parker or Ginobili in the slightest and they excel in it. If Barry can't find a way to contribute then he's not a good player.
Great post! I think it would be great in a signature lol
Barry was brought in for one main thing. Same reason Ferry was here. Same reason Kerr was here. Same reason Hedo was here. To hit the open shot from the outside. The rest, the passing, the transiton, the backup PG is nice but the Spurs have penetrators, Spurs have passers, Spurs have guys that can run the transition. They needed a guy that was deadeye from outside to keep the D honest, to spread the floor, to hit open looks created by doubles on Duncan and kickouts from penetrating Parker and Manu. That's why Barry's here to hit the open shot and he's failed. That's what the Spurs spent their last few dollars to shore up because they new it was their achilles heel. Now we can pray by some miracle that when crunch time comes in the playoffs Barry will show up. Good luck.
Steve Kerr's stats from his first season with the Spurs:
It took the brilliant Greg Poppovich and Spurs Fans to show the world that Steve Kerr sucks and that Phil Jackson was an idiot for adjusting his team to Steve Kerr's skill set and giving him important minutes(3 championships in a row)...Code:YEAR TEAM G GS MPG FG% 3P% FT% OFF DEF RPG APG SPG BPG TO PF PPG 98-99 SAS 44 0 16.7 .391 .313 .886 .10 .90 1.00 1.1 .52 .07 .50 .60 4.4
Stephen Jackson's stats from the season we won the le:
How dare Stephen Jackson put up better numbers every year since leaving here...doesn't he know the Spurs and their fans are offensive geniuses?Code:YEAR TEAM G GS MPG FG% 3P% FT% OFF DEF RPG APG SPG BPG TO PF PPG 02-03 SAS 80 58 28.2 .435 .320 .760 .80 2.80 3.60 2.3 1.56 .38 2.20 2.50 11.8
Why did Jackson leave? I think he said something along the lines of...I got sick of people saying my numbers were because of Tim Duncan(a point Jack is going to shove far up our asses in about 2 games).
yeah and where is he now, on 2 straight lottery teams.
Yup fantastic move Stephen.
Kerr stunk in 99 fact, and they won a ring convincingly, loosing twice.
hilarious, just hilarious.
Pop should change whats working, to accomidate this clown.
And Steve Kerr has two rings on his asswiping hand and 3 on the other.
It's working is it? How well is it working lately?hilarious, just hilarious.
Pop should change whats working, to accomidate this clown.
When was the last time we beat a playoff team?
But by damn we'll teach Barry a lesson or lose a championship trying.
Yo go TPark you go.
Hey...Duncan sprained his ankle...shouldn't you be making posts about tanking the season Mr.Balls?
Shouldn't you be making posts about how pop lost this game because Massenburg didn't play his required minutes???
How is it working lately??
The team is 50-16 and they have the first spot in the west, I think they are doin pretty good Coyote Jr.
When was the last time we beat a playoff team??
uhhhhh Chicago??
Whats your in point, now pop should change around the whole offense, for Brent in barry,
because he CANT make an OPEN shot.
But last year Hedo wasn't worth getting more shots, more time, or another contract.
What absolute hypocrisy and a joke.
what the ??>But by damn we'll teach Barry a lesson or lose a championship trying.
He cant make open shots, how the is that teaching Barry a goddamn lessson??
Because they wont take shots away from Parker and Brown??
God you have got to be kidding in me.
Bingo X 2.
Whottt is trying to defend his boyfriend to the end, but even he is having a hard time.
Barry plays like he's afraid. He has no nvts. He's a boy in a man's game.
He's never been a winner and apparently never will be.
TimVP, my comments on Barry haven't changed this entire season...
I'll ask you the same question I asked the others in this thread, and that was never answered...
What was the score the last time Barry was in the game and what was the final score?
I await your subsequent answer and excuse...Please don't be afraid to answer like everyone else was.
BTW...I was one of the guys that complained when we lost Jack the first time around...what was I told then? Trust Pop? I was also the guy who said Jon Barry would probably be a better fit for the role we want Barry to play...What was I told then? Trust Pop? Please let's dig up some of these threads.
Now you guys are asking me to trust Pop because he thinks a player sucks and can't figure out how to use him? Sorry. Can't do it. Obviously it's too mentally challenging to run a couple of plays for Barry to get him cranked up...
So I guess well choke with Beno and Devin instead when things get tight...as we have all season long..
