whottt nuts all over himself about Brent ing Barry but then Avery Johnson can't get any respect.
You know what?
whottt.
wich he will.Sorry, but if Manu's career ended today, he doesn't deserve a jersey retirement. He's had one good season, and two okay seasons with the Spurs. He needs at least 3-4 more high-level years before you can even talk start to talk about it.
Im sure.
But I agree.
IMO, Elliott certainly deserved the retirement of his number, but if Malone had signed, all parties would have easily waited until next year
Disagree.

Of course, I'm assuming that Manu will continue at this pace.
If he plays the way he is playing now, and retires with 3+ Rings (not unbelievable) then is there any way you CAN'T retire his number?
IF the Spurs win this year, Manu is a big reason why. And he'll already have one more ring than Elliot and AJ.
But, yeah, I'm counting Chickens from Eggs, so I better shut up now
Without AJ, Pop would have been fired a long time ago. That means Duncan would probably be in Orlando and Whottt would be cheering on the Portland Trailblazers and Brent Barry.
Interesting.
P.S.
I can't understand how Spurs fans disrespect the 1999 team. Every couple months, more and more Spurs fans diss it. Pretty soon, there is only going to be a couple of us Spurs fans who remember how hard the first championship was and how that team set the foundation for what the team is doing now.
P.P.S.
The 1999 team is still the best Spurs team ever.
Spurs fans dumping on the '99 le are like the boy made good who is ashamed to go visit his parents back in the old neighborhood.
F 'em.
Amen.I can't understand how Spurs fans disrespect the 1999 team. Every couple months, more and more Spurs fans diss it. Pretty soon, there is only going to be a couple of us Spurs fans who remember how hard the first championship was and how that team set the foundation for what the team is doing now.
those of us who sat through the Ice Age, the time that shall not be named (between Gervin leaving and Robinson's arrival) the two handed, behind the head pass to no-one, the meltdown against Run TMC in 91, and Rodman watching Horry hitting 3's in 95 will NEVER forget.
It's about extreme opinions... The more les the Spurs win, the more some fans will feel obligated to pick the "worst" of the Spurs Championship teams.
People complain about Stephen A. Smith and commentators of his ilk, then post the same kind of .
Any Spur fan who disses the '99 team should be boiled alive.
That team took the playoffs by the throat and choked the living out of them.
It was like the first two games of this series extended to 15 games.
The 99 Spurs team would beat this team in 4 games.
Easily.

Word.
This team? I dunno. But the '99 team would have whooped the '03 team.
Speaking of S.A.Smith, he said a lot of nice things about Bowen yesterday. He gave him props for his D, but the highlight was him saying that off the court Bowen is the best person in NBA.People complain about Stephen A. Smith and commentators of his ilk, then post the same kind of
So will Spurs fans hate him less now?
Why spoil the fun?
Hate on Barry all you want...just stop calling the dude heartless or a choker...and comparing him to Hedo and Smitty...
Whatever his problems are they aren't that...and there's a season long trackrecord of stepping up in the 4th and with Duncan out and hitting big shots to prove that's not what his problem is.
I just don't like the choker tag...especially when it's undeserved.
As much as I hate AJ...I've never called him heartless or a choker...
And also...
#1. We aren't retiring Brent Barry's jersey...
#2. Brent Barry took less money to come here...as opposed to AJ taking more to leave.
#3. Brent Barry doesn't go around bullying and intimidating younger players for his former team that is going to retire his jersey...
Come to think of it...Derek Anderson and Dennis Rodman didn't do that.
He said he knew him from his Philly days and he said that Bruce is the nicest human being that he has ever met.
uhhhBrent Barry doesn't go around bullying and intimidating younger players for his former team that is going to retire his jersey
ok......
His performances in game 1 and 2 of the Finals were Steve Smith and Hedo esque.just stop calling the dude heartless or a choker...and comparing him to Hedo and Smitty
So no, he will continue to be compared to them.
Meh, that's like Sean Deveney saying David Robinson is a classy guy.
Big deal. The hate lives on!
uhh, no, the he said about David Robinson will overcome anything else.So will Spurs fans hate him less now
WTF are we arguing about this?????
This is the Finals, the Spurs are on the brink of winning a championship.....
STFU, and carpe diem.
Peter May could write that this year's Spurs are the best team ever assembled and that Tim Duncan is the greatest player of all time, but he'll always be the guy who wrote this column.
He sucked in game 1 because he was trying to hard to play D to stay on the court...
He played ing good in game 2. I don't care what his shooting PCT was...he played ing good, he might have played the best D in the game other than Bowen and if he hadn't Pop wouldn't left him out there like that...He hustled his ass off...
I don't what games you guys are watching but Barry is not getting left open by the Pistons...Prince is staying on his ass.
Don't take it from me take it from Pop...when he left Barry out there during the close part of the game...
When he sent Barry and Horry out there and wanted more rebounding...he just said: "Brent and Robert, you guys know what to do".
That's ultimate vote of confidence from Pop...and he's been doing since the latter of half of the Denver series...we also haven't been choking leads since then...and I haven't been criticizing him.
He wasnt that off in that column.
At the time, i agreed with what he said.
BTW TPark...we didn't make the finals with Hedo or Smitty.
And Devin Brown and Glenn Robinson are not the guys that have been the mainstay of the perimeter rotation for the entire ing playoffs. Barry is. He's been the only mainstay.
Pop is getting it now...why aren't you.
If that was him trying too hard, letting Lindsey Hunter blow by him, then Id hate to see it when hes focused on offense and not too much defense.He sucked in game 1 because he was trying to hard to play D to stay on the court
excuses excuses though.
