Barry always fades on his shot right?
Brown is shooting 48.5% from the floor and 52.4% from beyond the arc. Over his last six games, he's averaging 14.3 points while shooting 58.5% from the floor and is 10-for-15 on threes. How do you not play him?
You play the guys who earn minutes. Not the guys who have big contracts.
Bro, the Spurs are winning. Are you saying Brown should play over Manu, Bowen, and Barry? Dude is better than all of them.
timvp I am glad you posted that when rose sucked last year
pop went with horry
not big contract
when spurs had steve smith they benched him (big contract)
with spurs current payroll and lockdown deals spurs are in trouble if barry sucks 4 years and they have to keep him that long
He's just saying Devin is playing well enough to be the first swingman off the bench.
I think this is a good problem. The Spurs actually have depth and tradeable assets. Damn. Imagine somebody else wanting our scrubs. That's a first.
Spurs are a center away from going undefeated.
Spurs are a center away from going undefeated.
Just like the Lakers were a Gary Payton and a Karl Malone away from it last year?
I totally notice that as well, he seems to release the ball way to quickly, like he's releasing the shot before he's even at the peak of his jump. I dont know if thats just the way he shoots but he definitely needs to take a little bit more time with his shot, like you said he seems to be in a "hurry" when he shoots
hmmmmm
Come on timvp, it's a bit different in the playoffs vs. an early December game against a two win Chicago team two nights before going up against co-league leading Seattle...
After that early lead, the Spurs played some very sloppy basketball up until about the midpoint of the third quarter.
If I was going to panic over tonight, there'd be a lot more to worry about than Barry's ho hum outing.
It sounds like Barry is still struggling with some of the Spurs defensive concepts. And if he's having problems at that end, no matter what, human nature dictates that when he's down at the other end he's at least thinking about defensive responsibilities while spotted up on the weakside.
Give the guy some room, it's supposed to be around All-Star game time when everyone starts to "get it."
In the meantime, Devin's filling the nets up, let him carry the load until Barry hits his stride.
How about Barry's 0-for-17 before tonight?If I was going to panic over tonight, there'd be a lot more to worry about than Barry's ho hum outing.
I noticed this too. Just a hunch, but he's probably having it ground into his brain about getting back on D. Earlier this season he would follow through on his shots and he was hitting (back in preseason), but it's like he's trying to get back on D before he even gets rid of the ball nowadays.One thing I don't get about Barry's shooting, even for the shots he made tonight, why is he fading away and running back down the court right after he releases? He is in such a hurry.
So, should Devin come in the game before Barry?In the meantime, Devin's filling the nets up, let him carry the load until Barry hits his stride.
I give him tell feb then he can get traded at trading deadline
but brown should come in first tell brown proves barry should go in first
I call BS. You must not have watched preseason. Barry shot like 10%, bro.
I don't think that necessarily has to be the case. I'd like to see Barry come in for Manu when he leaves about the six minute mark in the first. That way he gets 2-3 minutes of run with Tim.So, should Devin come in the game before Barry?
Also, instead of sticking Barry on the other side of the play, I'd like to see them have Barry making the entry pass and staying on Tim's side when he's working down low.
Brent Barry will be fine, that's what you requested, that's what you got. I wanted Jackson back, however, I hope he falls off a cliff now for what he did in Detroit.
The Spurs built this team for the playoffs, Barry will be one of the x factors, however, we still need a center.
LJ, there was a 2-3 game stretch where he settled down and was hitting, that was what I was referring to.
I think it was Dallas and New Orleans, or maybe Houston? Something like that. Right near the end of preseason.
early on yeah, but didnt the game against New Olreans and the first game against Sacramento he had good games??call BS. You must not have watched preseason. Barry shot like 10%, bro.
Geez, 16-3 and we sound like 3-16.
Unreal.
IMO, he was pretty clutch nailing the two free throws against Detroit.
But I guess thats the wrong kind of clutch.
I'm not worry about Barry's shot what I'm worry about is his defense, seems like he gets scored upon the most of any perimeter defender. Also, I would like to see more assist out of him maybe 4/game.
if spurs will 10-9
most spur fans would want barry gone
barry can not play d
why keep him 4 years
Someone explain something to me....
Why is it Malik VS Horry?
Why is it Devin VS Barry?
#1.We need Barry on this team just to hit ing free throws...who else is going to shoot them that you trust? Malik? Manu? Parker? Duncan? I don't trust those guys FT shooting.
#2.This is a championship contender...you don't think about 4 years from now in a season you can win a le.
#3.In case you guys haven't noticed...Barry is still shooting better from 3 than Parker, and Manu's numbers are dropping...
Why wouldn't you want additional shooters backing them up? I'd want as many as I can get my hands on.
What happens if Manu, TP and Bruce go cold? It happened to us last season, Devin wasn't enough.
#4.I saw you guys ideal roster of a team of weak shooting d players last season...those teams suck ass and they choke...keep some freaking shooters please, even if they don't play D...it takes more than D to win a le and we have enough D...and if we don't then who does?
#5. It's the regular season.
#6. I realize Barry may have given up a score tonight...who gave up the other 73 points? Do they suck too?
#7. What happens if someone gets hurt?...Say Beno, Manu, Bruce or Parker? How many guys in the NBA are as capable of filling in that many different spots as Barry?
#8. He was hurt the year he was in Chicago and it's not easy to replace MJ.
#9. In his career, Seattle has a losing record without him and winning record with him...I think their improvment has a lot more to do with Ray Allen's re-emergence and Fortson's rebounding...it wasn't a lack of Brent Barry that kicked our ass when we played Seattle, it was Allen and Fortson.
#10. Chill
#11. You guys got to drive this last bus season...I ed, you guys talked ...we got ing Ward, we waived Heal, we kept AC, we dumped Mercer... I was ing right, we went into the post season with no credible back ups to Parker and Manu. Hedo tanked, and it cost us.. I'm driving this mother er this season...we'll be allright...we are gonna win a le and we are gonna have fun season.
#12. Barry still plays better D than AJ and you guys wanted him this year... even AJ knows he's done now.
#13. Chill again, it's going to be ok...
#14. I really hate being the positive and uplifting voice so let's try and look on the bright side of life.
