Hate to break it to you, but Barry wasn't the first option that summer. He wasn't even the second option. It wasn't until everything else fell apart that they went with Barry.
Barry is a good guy and has had some good moments while on the Spurs but his signing will probably be looked back on as a mistake. Not as bad as signing Rasho to his deal or trading for a broken Charles Smith with three years left on his contract, but a mistake nonetheless.
Pop this Pop that....
Pop smallballed us into a choke last season against Dallas...I wish he was as good of a coach as he was a GM.
It's a fact that Pop has an affinity for scrub types that hustle but choke like a mother er when doubled off of in pressure situations...
fact.s
3-4 on treys in 17 minutes of a crappy Popavich 75-72 Gm 3 2007 Finals.
Oh I am well aware of that...the Spurs were gripping that Hedo wouldn't be around to make Duncan's job harder.
That doesn't change the fact we won Barry's first year here, and he was the main guard off the bench. We added NVE and Finley...played them ahead of Barry, and were worse because of it.

And the mistake is overlooking what Barry brought to this team...
Spurs fans always nutride the FO on stuff like this...and they have made plenty of mistakes...in particular offseasons after we have just won a le.
Only because he's a genius GM...he's his own worst enemy as a coach. Always gets good talent(even in hte years the Spurs ed up)...does not always play it...
Will play a choking scrub defensive hustle guy over a guy that can hit shots when we are blowing leads...90% of the time.
Because he's racist against Barry.
Got it
It's a clear case of BDS: Barry Derangement Syndrome
(...the acute onset of visceral hatred in otherwise normal people in reaction to the play -- nay -- the very existence of one Brent Robert Barry)
Effects of experimental reverse-racism card against Barry haters and whottt caller outers:
TPark - puts him into the mother of all defensive modes. *noted for future use*
timvp - puts him into helpful bystander mode. Can then easily be drawn into defensive mode. *noted for future use*
Marcus Bryant - effect unknown. Probably went and made a new user nic.
addendum to effect on timvp - extended defensive mode
*closes notes*
Good news.
Awesome, Finley's a shooter we can trust.
I'm happy about that.
Good news
love u fin dawg
Now with this playoff experience I expect him to mean even more next playoffs. I trust him in big games to play well.
It looks like the whottt baittt I set out last night caught something.
For whatever it's worth -- sticking with NBA qualifying minimums for 3 point attempts (based on number of games played), here are the current Spurs franchise leaders in 3 point FG% in playoff games:
.529 -- D. Brown (21 games, 9-17)
.443 -- V. Del Negro (46 games, 31-70)
.439 -- B. Bowen (100 games, 134-305)
.408 -- M. Finley (33 games, 62-152)
.404 -- R. Horry (64 games, 65-161)
.403 -- B. Barry (55 games, 60-149)
.400 -- D. Ferry (39 games, 32-80)
.394 -- C. Person (34 games, 52-132)
.393 -- W. Anderson (39 games, 11-28)
.387 -- E. Ginobili (90 games, 132-341)
Entering the 2007 Playoffs, Barry was 45-100 from behind the arc in playoff games, placing him only behind D. Brown among qualifiers.
For the record, though, I also would like to see Barry moved this summer. I'm sure that makes me racist or sexist or xenophobic or stupid or something.
Great job by Finley contributing to a le, and it seems he wants to come back for #2. Get it done.
Thanks Mike!
WTF with all the Barry hate?
STaying with the Spurs gives Finley another opportunity to stick it to Cuban who'll still have to pay millions of his salary while the Spurs pay a minimum for a good veteran.
I am glad that Finley came back. He will most likely retire as a Spur now....unless he signs with Dallas after he leaves.
