he would be playing more if brown sucked
but he does not
do you want spurs to lose 10 games just so he might get out his slump?
Barry was picked up based on his career accomplishments. He was averaging just under 30 minutes per game for his career. The last 10 games he has averaged 17 minutes, the last five just over 10. Anyone realistically expect him to hit his career marks while adjusting to such a drastic reduction in playing time. Come on.

Give him minutes based on his rep.
Understood.
hey ducks you got big weekend plans?
That was the kind of philosophy that lead to a 6-8 start and a championship in 99, wasn't it? I'm not saying there was someone in particular in a slump, but Pop was willing to play mad scientist and try some things with everyone.
I give him minutes based on what he does on court and what others that play that postion do on court not based on what he done years ago
it is based on what have you done lately for the spurs
Let's see, he played 6 minutes against Seattle and we lost. He played 9 minutes last night and we lost. Yep, you make sense.
got to work on saturday
get off in time to
watch james suck against bowen
sunday watch chargers win
hope eagles choke redskins win
not much else kitten
you?
Pop loves manu too much to bench him, plus it´s obvious he is gonna have much more playing time in the playoffs.
brown was not the reason spurs lost to sonics
and brown was the reason spurs were so close against rockets
you make sence
brown plays barry's postion
and beno is playing well so you can not put him in backup one
Bad idea. You can't penalize Devin and Manu just to try out Barry at the starting SG. Barry hasn't done anything this season for that to happen. I know you want to try it to increase Barry's confidence but as long as we're winning, the coaching staff won't do that. Maybe I would understand if we're the Rockets and struggling. I love Barry's game but he hasn't produced so far.
Barry's been a major disappointment but on the other hand Devin Brown has been a huge surprise. All I want from our bench is consistant 10 points from a player, if it's Barry, fine, Rose fine, Udrih fine, Devin fine. It doesn't matter as long as we get those 10 points. If Devin can consistantly produce 10 points or close to that, great but you can't take Barry over him at this moment. He just hasn't earned it.
Yep, 30 minutes of Shane Barry's .000 shooting the past two games could only have helped.Let's see, he played 6 minutes against Seattle and we lost. He played 9 minutes last night and we lost. Yep, you make sense.
noor
?
i think i'll take my dog to the lake. should be fun
Last attempt. You were concerned additional playing time for Barry would mean losing. I pointed out that we already were losing, and he was not playing. FI, I quit.brown was not the reason spurs lost to sonics

Ok, so we should guarantee ourselves losses now. Dallas should be ahead of us by Christmas.Last attempt. You were concerned additional playing time for Barry would mean losing. I pointed out that we already were losing, and he was not playing.
Check the stats. When he has played 30 minutes he is shooting 52%. Oh, I forgot, the facts don't matter.
Your point?
Devin is better.
Bowen is better.
Manu is better.
We have a three-man rotation at the swing spots.
More Rocket science.
For 's sake, getting Barry more minutes is not going to cause Tim Duncan to turn into a pumpkin, or make Manu's hands fall. If the spurs can get hot again and start beating teams by 15 for a stretch then there's no reason why Brent can't start getting more time in semi-garbage minutes to get his shot on. Or , give a start against the Hornets or something. There are some teams out there that the spurs could be on a bad night and get Barry some minutes while their at it.
And Barry has only played 30min twice this season.
Nice sample.
I am not opposed to garbage time for him.
So, does anybody think is a good idea for Pop to give Barry some backup PG minutes?
So we should play a guy that's been bricking so bad that it reminds me of the 2001 Lakers series. I just don't see why we should give Barry huge minutes when he isn't playing well. The same thing with Rasho. I know he's going to get his stroke back, but he shouldn't be playing major minutes when he's clearly being outplayed by Devin.
Barry probably played 30 minutes those games because he was shooting well.
Chicken/Egg.
Hugs or Huggies?
Who said this season? So let's not play him 30 minutes because we don't want him to shoot 52%, we want him to come in for 6 minutes and hope he is warm and can light it up right away. But if he does miss, yank his ass right out of there. Brilliant.
No, Devin is brilliant.But if he does miss, yank his ass right out of there. Brilliant.
That's why he plays.
