Spurs vs. Magic Dec. 15th - Grades

Really?

Day to day injuries?

Limited minutes due to injuries and subsequent recoveries?

I was doing you a favor, but if you think you can prove everything in every situation, let me know how you are going to prorate the minutes in those situations.

No we are talking official injuries...Official report etc. More or less...

IE the guy isn't suited up for that game or if he is on the IR. I'm not trying to be cheap here.

If the guy is suited up for the game he isn't injured and if Barry plays in a bunch of games like that and averages more than 10 min per game...you win. Those minutes count.

If Parker, Manu, Beno and Devin are not suited up....the minutes Barry plays in that game don't count.

If you want to be fair we can just not count that as a game played by Barry...it's an option.


I'm not trying to screw you here...I just want to find out which one of is right and this is the simplest way to do so.

And if that's not good enough for you...we'lll just attribute to him for those questionable games(IE someone not suited up)...the average mpg he gets from this point on when all those players are healthy...

How's that?

Sure.

At this point Devin is playing a better all-round game than Barry and deserves to be the next guard/forward off the bench. People get beat out in athletics all the time--and sometimes it's a surprise when a untouted youngster beats out a veteran. Pop should get props for recognizing this and not being influenced by the big rep.

I still think Barry was a great addition. Devin simply stepped up. Let's see how Barry handles it.

I completely agree and don't want to discredit Devin... he's an above average defender because of his youth and athleticism... and thus beat out Barry in the rotation.

But did you see what happenned at the end of the Rockets game?

Barry's experience is worth something here... though one could argue that Devin's development is equally worthy....

I know it doesn't mean much now, but Barry WAS on the court during the final ticks of that Rocket's game. In fact, he made the inbound pass to Devin Brown, with no timeouts left and the game teetering on the edge. Pop KNOWS how valuable Brent's veteran knowledge is, and I don't think he has ever discredited that.

The fact of the matter is, he still regards Devin as our best free-throw shooter, and what you do in that situation is get the ball to our best free-throw shooter.

Unfortunately for us, our best-free throw shooter happened to forget how to dribble at the time.

[Dario]

He shouldnt be dribbling when he had the ball 10 sec till end and his team was up 2 points, in that situation you hold the ball and you wait for other team to make a foul or for the game to end. Lack of experience got him this time, although i just watched that game yesterday and what mcgrady did it's once in a lifetime.
