Great post whottt.

What is your point, GoN? I have more points than you in both leagues we are in. You picked McAllister in the first round ... I picked up Julius Jones off the waiver wire a couple weeks ago before he was healthy. I have Tomlinson and Droughns, so JJones wasn't a need for me. I'd rather go with McAllister in a pinch instead of JJones ... despite what the Seahawks excuse for a run defense would tell you.
someone seems in a bad mood.
No, just sick of GoN's condescending at ude.
Maybe my point IS that I would prefer Barry over Brown - in a pinch, you know.
I lose.
Bye.
That's not fair. I'm condescending to TPark, Duff, and a few others, but not you and LJ.
Well you don't have to make the choice. Both of them are Spurs and the only person who wants to trade Barry is ducks.
BTW, Blaze's points need corrected in XPert. It's going to cause him a loss, but that's the breaks.
I don't get it. Was that a good trade or a bad trade?
Don't drink and drive. Or talk hoops and FF.
P.S.
With your win in xpertleagues, you knocked me out of the playoffs.
welcome to my world lol....
To get back on subject, if Devin Brown was struggling as much as Brent Barry is struggling, how much time would he get?
Regarding Blaze's points, I have already noted that in XPL.
Regarding Barry vs. Brown, I must go back and reread the thread. I thought LJ had framed it as a Barry vs. Brown situation.
None. He'd be waived.
ducks is officially off my genius list until he gets his act together on this trade crap. Talking about trading Malik and Barry in the same post. And I notice his Vbuck total is declining as well...get it together ducks, Barry's 3 PCT is better than your winning % on bets lately.
Not much.To get back on subject, if Devin Brown was struggling as much as Brent Barry is struggling, how much time would he get?
But the other side of that, is Devin a proven veteran? No hes not.
Quit bagging on Barry so much.
He didnt look like he did as bad as like Ginobili or some others tonight.
7 points, 1 of 3 three points.
Thats decent. better than he has been.
Lets just take a deeeep breath.
Ducks lost $3K on the Vikings game.
I'm not bagging on him. I'm telling him to step up.
There's no hand holding in the NBA, T Park.
P.S.
You ripped me for months for supporting Devin ... and now you are on my case when all I'm saying is Barry needs to play better?
Doesn't make sense.
What I think people are misunderstanding in this thread is people think that timvp is talking about Barry because of tonight's game. He's not. He's talking about the season that he's had so far.
Almost 1/4 of the season is gone and he's shooting 30% from 3. He brings a lot of other things to the table, but he's got to knock down his shots. Maybe he's just slumping, but perhaps he's just not going to be clutch.
The Spurs have the luxury of depth. And that's a good thing.
I think this thread is bringing out that question, how long would you keep bringing Barry off the bench as the first swingman if he's not knocking down shots and isn't adjusting to Spurs D?
Devin's performances of late are proving that he deserves to get some playing time. So should he come off the bench first? Or should the Spurs keep waiting for Barry to come around?
I'm not sure, but I'd probably give Barry another 15 games or so.
If Barry sucks play Devin, if Horry sucks play Malik...when the situations reverse themselves...as they surely will at some point...you reverse it and roll on...it's called depth. And it's why we will win the NBA le this year.
What I know is that...no way do Barry, Horry, Manu, Bruce, Devin, Parker and Beno all go cold on the perimeter at the same time in the playoffs, for 2 games in a row, even Wilks has got perimeter game...and Duncan doesn't need much more than that to dominate...if he's got two guys hitting on the perimeter and Manu breaking down the D...it'll be business as usual for Mr.Duncan and no stifling double teams and the TO's that ensue....
This team is a machine, just like tonight, they really didn't play that well on O...and they still blew the Bulls out by 15 points...and it wasn't that good of an offensive game...this team will roll and roll and roll, the only thing that stops it is inury...and having a guy like Barry increases the chances that even injury won't stop it.
One good thing about Devin is that we already know his balls don't shrink come playoff time. He really laid it on the line in the Lakers series last season. That's why I hope that the Spurs find minutes for him throughout the season, because I know he can be a difference maker in the post season.
And, the Spurs definitely need Barry too.
..what if Parker gets injured? Beno is injury risk. Keep Barry!
No one is saying to get rid of Barry (except ducks).
I say that you make sure all these guys are getting minutes, naturally the guys who are and have been playing better get more minutes until they give you a reason to do otherwise...You go with the deep rotation ala Hubie...and you go with the hot hand...I hope that with this kind of depth Pop will be more flexible in his rotation, because he can be, this is a smart, smart team..and they know what they are supposed to do......and the deeper rotaion'll save the burden on Bruce, as well as ease the heavy load Manu and Duncan have been carrying throughout the summer....
It does no good to have depth unless you use it.
It doesn't matter to me who is getting the most minutes and it shouldn't matter to the guys on the Spurs, I don't think minutes are a big deal to a guys like Horry or Barry..I mean if he was that worried about his minutes he'd be chucking up shots like crazy when he got in the game, but he's not, he's sharing the ball.....the ring is the thing...
He could be the second coming of Jaren Jackson.
On that note, I'm going to sleep before the severe storms roll in.
Good night.
No, because he didn't get fat this summer.He could be the second coming of Jaren Jackson.
Devin Brown is twice as talented, and twice the player Jaren Jackson was.
All Jaren Jackson was was a lucky ass shooter who got hot against the Lakers.
After that, fat dumb happy and didnt care after the big contract.
