They want him to do whatever he wants with the ball.they want him to camp out at three to keep a defender out of the paint
Drive to the hole, MAKE 3s.
He played a great game tonight no question.
BECAUSE HE WAS AGRESSIVE.
Nothing the Spurs did.
Brent Barry is fixin 2 go off. Barn this.

No Tpark, they don't...
Do you honestly think Barry is playing the game he wants to play? Figure it the out...If he was playing the type of game he wanted to play he'd be taking pull up threes when he is open and has beaten the D....he'd push the ball to the hoop when he has the advantage.
Why the do you think he played his best basketball when Duncan was injured?
Just how long have you been a Spurs fan? The Spurs have a very strict offensive philosophy....get ing real. They went away from it when Duncan was injured(and thank god because it sucked then)...but they are back to it.
I can't believe you are actually trying to say that they don't...
If you think Parker or Manu just naturally pull the ball up and wait for the team you are on crack as well...sometimes they run...but sometimes they don't and it's on Pop to decide when they run.
Running is fun...if you let the players play the type of game they want to play they will all play transition basketball they will run all the time...not this half court, pound it inside to Duncan game.
change the whole offense for 1 brick laying overrated "deadeye"
makes sense.
guess you know more than Kori and LJ who actually talk to the players.they don't...
How obtuse of me.
Man oh man I hope you are being facetious.
By the way TPark...I am still waiting for you guys to aplogize for saying Barry wasn't intentionally doubleteaming Melo in that one Denver game...he most certainly was double teaming as he was being told to do...
Ok...show me the quote where the Spurs want Barry to do "whatever he wants to do" when he has the ball...
I must have missed that one...
C'mon mouth...you dug this hole for yourself...show me where they said that....
Who knew that if Barry was left to his own devices, the type of game he loves to play is camping out at the 3 in the half court set....who knew? And to think he's holding the Spurs back on offense...
Thanks Tpark for clearing that up for me.
Brent Barry playing well in a blowout? Yeah, we already knew he could do that. Look at game two of last series.
For having such a high "basketball IQ", he sure does make some stupid passes. There were two bad passes to Nazr that were horrible.
All in all, it was a fine performance by Barry. The game was over by the end of the first quarter, so it was his type of game.
Hopefully he'll bring it in a game that means something.
I think he can.
Believe.
So let's see...when evaluating his stats, we take away his good games and count the bad ones, so we can make it look like he performed worse than Hedo.
When he plays well, it's a meaningless game, even if it's in a game after we have dropped the first game, at home, to the hottest team in the NBA.
Got it...it only counts when Barry sucks.
all legit points TIMVP. However, I'm having trouble understanding your opinion of Barry. Will you answer one question for me.
What does Barry have to do in the playoffs in order for you to say you were wrong about him?
ill answer that.What does Barry have to do in the playoffs in order for you to say you were wrong about him?
TAKE AND MAKE shots in a close game.
AKA, like game 3 and 4 against Denver.
Tonight he was good, and BTW, WHottt, you want a link to me saying pop gave him the green light, show me the link to where they intentionally doubled Melo. Thanks.
Game 3 and 4 against Denver are over, so does that mean barry can't do right by you? Or do you think he'll never hit a big shot in a close game during these playoffs, and if he does you'll say you were wrong about him?
Please clarify.
When the Spurs are up by 80 points, it doesn't really matter if Barry hits that three in the fourth quarter. You know what I mean. This isn't brain surgery.
Can Barry produce in a close playoff game? Does Barry being on the court help the team out even if he isn't making shots?
Oh and by the way, that other Barry thread has been awaiting your response for a good three days now.
Thanks.
Brent Barry plays very stupid basketball. Those two passes to Nazr (timvp mentioned) were terrible. He looks lost out on the court. He made some layups in transition and hit a wide open three.
He hasn't been there all season.
Looks like a bust FA for the Spurs.
I'm hoping Devin starts taking his minutes.
so does that mean barry can't do right by you? Or do you think he'll never hit a big shot in a close game during these playoffs, and if he does you'll say you were wrong about him?
wtf, Im rooting for this guy, i have been since day 1.
I WANT him to be agressive, I WANT him to shoot when he is open.
I want to see him do it say, on the road, up 4, and in the end of the 3rd or middle of the 4th, to stretch a lead out and bury his opponent.
I have always believed he could make clutch shots, Phoenix proved that to me, and him making the game winner VS the Lakers did that too.
But, his reluctance to shoot, aka OT in game 4, was disturbing.
I WANT him to WANT to take shots, not just "Pass" around the ball.
Popovich has said many times he has the green light and that any shot by Barry is a great shot.
he needs to shoot at least 9 to 10 times a game easily.
I agree, he needs to be more aggressive. Few times tonight he could have just taken the ball to the hoop and scored or gotten fouled, but instead he made two dumb passes to Nazr.

You think the fact that we have a blow out could in some way be attributed to the fact Barry is having a good game?
Question
Good point.
But the Spurs were up by 12 the first time he re-entered the game and then up by 20 the second time he came in. When he left for Manu in the first quarter, the Spurs were up by six.
So basically, the game was over during most of his meaningful minutes.
another new can of worms, damnt TIMVP lol.....
To say I was wrong about him? Well if he comes up big in big games, then I'd say it was a huge offseason success. If he only shows up in blowouts, then I'd say the Spurs made a mistake. Although, I'd even settle for Whotttt stats that show that the Spurs are better with him in even if he isn't producing stats.
The bar isn't set too high. Either produce with numbers or have the team play well with him on the court and I'll be sold. Until then, I'll question why Whottt is in man-love with him for no apparent reason.
Make sense?
Id love to see him bag a couple of dagger 3s in Seattle to stretch leads.
That would change my opinion.
That or, faking the shot driving and pulling up for a shot, or going to the basket and getting an AND 1.
All three things, he is very talented at doing.
JUST DO IT BRENT!!!!!!!!
By the way, Brent Barry scored his first points in the fourth quarter for the playoffs tonight.
Congrats.
To stretch the lead from 17 to 20.
He actually bagged a big shot, thats right....
