I don't think that Brent is outright intentionally antagonizing Pop the way that Rose did last year. He just can't stop anyone from scoring. That'll get you glued to the Spurs bench like nothing else.
Maybe he should've tried a jumper in the minutes he did get.

CD - I agree. If I'm Brent, I'm going to bust my ass on D, and shoot every time I'm wide open within the offense. That's what Pop is looking for. Ball movement is fine, but he's passing on open jumpers, short ones, to pass to someone else who's probably not as good a shooter, and further away from the hoop. Unselfishness can be taken too far.
Only problem is, everytime Barry gets the ball he looks scared.
If he would actually nut up and shoot the ball instead of driving to the hole and throwing a stupid ass pass back to the three point line to get stolen, he would more than likely get more time.
Hes not just not playing D, hes playing absolutely stupid.
God whottt, grow up.
Are you going to stall all night or give a number?
So like I was saying...Pop doesn't know how to utilize or appreciate offensive talent, as great as he is on the defensive side of the ball, he is stupid on the offensive side of the ball.
Offense is an important part of the game, and it has it's role to play in winning champioships. Last season, we were tied I believe with the Pistons, as the best defensive teams in NBA history. No le.
And one last time...thank Tim Duncan, not Pop, for Kerr being released from the bench...otherwise we blow the lead in that game too, and again, no le.
Steve Nash would be getting the Brent Barry treatment if he was on this team.
In the meantime, we have an 11thman making the MLE and a coach with a history of not being able to unload high priced talent that he is unhappy with. ing great.
A number.
Stall all night it is.
Forget Manu Ginobili, TOny Parker, Devin Brown, Stephen Jackson.Pop doesn't know how to utilize or appreciate offensive talent
Yes, its ALL Pop's fault why Barry stinks right now.
Un ing real.
5 out of 6 guards are playing well in this system.
It must be changed for welfare cases.
Answer the question WHottt,
How can Bowen, GInobili, Parker, Udrih, Brown, all do well, but Barry cant?
The system?? or the Player.
IF YOU cant figure it out, then YOUR the idiot.
Barry got eight minutes in the first half and he probably would have gotten eight more in the second half if he would have shown anything, anything at all in the first half.
But he didn't.
I'm not saying he should be playing stellar D or knocking down shots. But how about one crisp pass or other simple basic play instead of what we saw tonight. I understand that you make think that he's under a lot of pressure and thus not performing in his limited minutes, but damn. Show something, any sign that you are worthy of being on the floor. A full eight minute stretch in the first half is enough time to show something.
[Awaits Hootie's manly attack on Kori]
And he's been playing like that all season? Pretty obvious to me that this was a new low...all he's doing now is trying to not make a mistake, he thinks before he does every single thing.
So now we've figured out that Barry can't pass also? Doesn't say much for our scouting.
He's not a good player...you guys should be happy, ya'll were right and Pop proved it. We taught that head a lesson about taking less to try and play for our mighty franchise didn't we?
Now we just gotta figure out how to dump him..I don't like having an 11thman playing for the MLE, do you?
I'd rather have someone who can guard 6'10 SF's.
Actually, if you don't see the difference between yourself and Kori...She takes what I say and asks me questions about it...you take what I say, make it stupider, ask me questions based on your stupid interpretation of what I said...and then you ignore my answers.
And no I don't expect you to see this.
I asked you a question.
About seven times.
How many minutes do you want Barry to play every game?
8 is obviously not enough for you.
How many is enough?
You have been asked.
Again.
He he, you didn't think I could read "Hedo" and not respond, did you? Pop was not the problem with Hedo last year, and he's probably not the problem with Barry this year. I don't think it takes a genius to figure out what happened. Hedo is playing very well this season, a force off the bench despite hitting only 31% from the 3. Oh, he'll get his 3pt % up to 37-40% in the end (he was shooting worse from the 3 at this point last season), but the fact is he's scoring in every which way possible. On the Spurs Parker rarely gave the ball up to anyone but Duncan, even spurning Ginobilli on many occassions. Hedo by default had to be a spotup 3-point shooter, something he is not. Honeslty I haven't watched many Spirs games this year, but I'm guessing the ball hasn't been passing through Barry's hands much either. I doubt Barry is used to that. Just my 2-cents worth, feel free to rip me a new one.
Spurs went up by 30 when Barry was in the game.
What you got to say about that?
Whottt, you are the most defensive person I've ever seen in my life. EVERYONE in this forum thinks that Barry is eventually going to be key for the Spurs this season. EVERYONE thinks he's got a high basketball IQ, is one of the best perimeter shooters around, and a great teammate. NO ONE thinks that this rotation is going to last forever with Barry getting under 10 minutes per game and no one wants it to. But for Christ's sakes, open your eyes. Barry is getting his chances. Like a said, he got eight minutes in the first half -- all in one stretch -- not sporadic. And believe me, if he would have shown a sign of life, he would probably gotten eight more in the second half. But like you always say, it's about the wins. And after two losses in a row, you gotta put the guys on the floor who are going to help you win. Yes, Barry needs to be on the floor to work his way out of his funk. But not at the expense of winning. He's gotta do something for himself. There's absolutely no reason with the depth on this team that you need to give him pity minutes. He WILL break out of the funk and he will be a key contributor to this team. But get over yourself and admit he's not doing it right now and that's nobody's fault but his own. In the beginning of the season Devin was playing like 3 minute stretches at a time. If a guy as young and inexperienced as Devin can show something in 3 minutes, then Brent Barry with all his savvy, shooting expertise, and other skills needs to step up and show something in eight.
Take a nap and wake back up and read your posts. You are seriously beginning to sound like a madman. You know a lot about basketball. You know that Barry isn't doing his part. So stop going crazy, he'll work through it. No one here wants to trade him.
