It's like the Spurs had to play with ankle weights on against the tough, aggressive defenses of the Nuggets and Sonics. Against the Suns, those ankle weights are off and they are free to do what they want.
[QUOTE=timvp]Since this game wasn't over by halftime, it counts. Congrats.[/auote]
Barry scored most of his points in the first half of that game...I know he was 3-3 or something in the first quarter...
It's sad that the only grudging respect this player can get is when he scores 20 points off the bench and shoots 5-5 or something in the 4th...And it's not going to change...if Barry doesn't shoot 67% from the field and 60% from 3 he'll get ripped as heartless and a choker...Ahh he'll do that easy. As long as POP keeps the doing the things he has been doing in the past 2 games he'll be off my list for a while...Barry came through like he should against a team daring the Spurs to hit from the outside.
Congrats. Go celebrate.
Send me the bill.
I might even pick the Spurs to win this series...nah that...it'll never happen...Suns in 7.
Just think of all those 1-5 games he didn't play in the 4th...then think of the ones he did...the Double OT's, the Laker game, the Rockets ass kicking, the Sonics ass kicking...the Nets comeback, and of course the other Suns game.

Will the streak continue? News at 10.
Most ppl here think the only thing that matter is the W.
Why in the heck r discussing the plusplusplusplusplus that Barry gave us today???
I've been always w/Whottt about Barry's problems: the system (waiting outside the 3pt line like a tree), the pace (stagnant offense), and the lack of involving in the offense (he NEEDS the ball in his hands).
If Pop keeps using Barry like this, this game won't be 1 in a lifetime...It's Pop's call to make Barry effective.
Whottt, U WERE RIGHT ON TARGET!
Props to Barry. He better bring it on tuesday.
BELIEVE
Didn't he get half his shots that way?waiting outside the 3pt line like a tree
ps: change the "whottt's owner" thing
Answer the question.
I said earlier today that Barry should do well in this series, so you got nothing.
A also said he played about as well as should have been expected last series.
BTW, did you watch the game?
Was it on in Argentina?
Jailbre...now that you are here tell TimVP and Kori what you want my le to be...plain and simple I said Nuggets in 6 and it didn't happen....
I lost the bet...it's bad karma not to pay up on it(at least during the playoffs). Althought I don't know if it's a good idea to change it while the playoffs are in progress.
Thanks athenea...any chance I'll get those oft promised nude photos now for being right?
I understand it was on ESPN Latin America.
Barry had a 40 second run (I believe in the third) that was a thing of beauty -- he launched two thirty foot shots with no hesitation. Jack-type shots at Jason Williams range. He seemed to finally realize that he is the best option in these situations, that there's no need to look for anyone else. Horry did the same kind of thing on a heat check after a made three. Sometimes it doesn't make sense, sometimes it breaks a play, but that's simply the mentality that can help more than hurt when you have the ability Horry and Barry have and have had all along.
Good, just asking. If that's so, then everyone knows the kind of shots Barry was getting.I understand it was on ESPN Latin America.
Very well said.
That's great logic...and it works fine...as long as they make the shot where they break the offense...if they miss it Pop will have their ass for dinner.
Stephen Jackson broke the offense in game 6 gainst the Nets too...Horry has done it several times in these playoffs...
Brent Barry is never going to break the offense though, just like David Robinson or Steve Kerr never would either.....he's going to do what the book says he should do...if you want him involved then involve him. If he does break it it's not going to be by jacking up a bad shot...he'll do it by making a risky transition pass...
Shouldn't you be allowed to gloat when your player does well only if you actually show your face after your player has the worst game of anyone in the entire playoffs?
Rob wasn't pulled after his heat check.That's great logic...and it works fine...as long as they make the shot where they break the offense...if they miss it Pop will have their ass for dinner.
BTW, it was good to see Barry perform. I'm hoping he can keep it up because Bowen isn't going to be incredibly useful. I'm pulling for him, but I'll have to see him step up a few more times before I'm a believer.
Bowen?I'm hoping he can keep it up because Bowen isn't going to be incredibly useful.
He was pretty useful at shutting down Marion.
Oh but he had said everything he could about Barry. (Disregard his last 200 posts concerning Barry after game six.)
Shouldn't you own up and admit you are wrong for labeling a guy a choker?
Shouldn't you apologize for saying a player has always underperformed in the playoffs, when in fact he hasn't...like his first playoffs...
Shouldn't you also apologize for saying Steve Kerr never struggled in the playffs and was a proven commodity...when in fact he once shot 50% in the regular season from 3 and didn't make a single ing 3 in the playoffs that year?
Try to get it...Kerr is the best regular season 3 shooter in NBA history....and his career playoff PCT is worse than Barry's.
Shouldn't you aplogize for alluding that Kerr's numbers have gone up int he playoffs...when in fact they are lower across the board in every category?>
IOW...shouldn't you apologize for being flat out wrong and having a clear double standard and different rules for different players...and if you aren't then disprove it here and now.
Good luck.

Unbelievable that after all these years, Spurs fans of all people still don't appreciate what Bruce Bowen does.
Whottt could have been the greatest poster of all-time if he only would have posted after game five instead of pulling the internet version of Brent Barry passing up that layup in the first quarter.
LMAO....another classic from TimVP...
You redefing playing both sides...
If Barry had sucked today you would have just ripped even worse than you usually do..
You had nothing to lose by taking the stance you took...
Simple logic...call him a choker etc wehn he has a bad game...then ride his jock when he has good one...if he has a bad game call him a choker again...it's called waffling.
You are the only I know that makes the simultaneous claim that Barry is a choking heartless while saying you had faith in him all season long...and you call me out for riding both sides? The only one that will buy that is TPark...
My stance hasn't changed from day 1...I defended against the heartless allegation..the 0-3 didn't change it...and you should know that.
