Barry will be fine. Spurs don't need him right now with a couple players playing really well, but they will need him in the future. He still brings alot to the team regardless of his bad shooting and his bad defense.
Just think: the Spurs could have had Jack but instead they went with Barry. It's enough to make a balla holla.
LOL... All this and it's LESS than 20 games into the season. Yet we have the BEST record in the league.
He may be struggling now but I'm glad he's on the team because he brings more than the average fan can physically see. I think pop also realizes that he's not so young anymore and wouldn't want to wear him out anyway. He's here for the playoffs more so than the regular season.
time to package him and trade him
he faced his former team twice and sucked
steve smith went off on portland
How the can you say he sucked when he only played 6 minutes?
You saying that the 6 minutes Barry was in this game impacted the other 42? Bull .
We cut the lead to two....who do you blame for us not being able outscore them at a 2 point deficit?
If you want to blame someone blame Pop...he's the one that got outcoached by McMillian the entire first half and then pulled Duncan like we were playing the Bulls or something, so we went right back into the hole again at the beginning of the 4th...had we trapped the in the first half, like we did in the second, we might not have had to come back from 19 down.
Pop got outcoached....it was like the Sonics knew the Spurs defense better than the Spurs did and Pop did nothing about it until halftime.
yes barry played great that is why the great pop never played him in the second half
Then why didn't we win? C'mon ducky we cut it to two in the second half...why didn't we win? Blame Barry for that.
Pop's not immune to stupidity...he traded Steve Kerr away remember?
And the only reason Kerr got playing time in 03 was because Duncan started calling for him.
dude pop got the spurs to come and play in second half
he got it down at halftime
nate got his team to get a big head at half time
Who do you blame for us not being able to take the lead when we were only down by 2 in the second half?
Whose fault is that?
And why didn't Pop have them playing hard the first half?
They were playing hard int he first half...Seattle was slicing our d apart. We started trapping in the second half...but then the stupid subsitutions killed us.
This is on Pop...you don't see the Spurs looking confused very often but it happend for the entire first half of this game...and any D that keeps getting Parker isolated on Lewis needs to be adjusted.
yes benching tp in the 3 quarter was STUPID
The Spurs didn't ing showup. That's not Pop's fault. The Spurs were still at the zoo at 730
And what's Bowen's excuse? That's his whole ing game is D...and he got butt ed by Ray Allen the entire first half...How come no one raises about his D while he is shooting 1-7 and blowing layups? Yeah he D'ed up in the third...but for a guy whose total role is his D I don't think he justified his minutes or his shots tonight.
I hear ya. I am not happy either, however, since I was on the road during most of that first half, I can't break it down for you.
60 = No defense.
It is on Pop....if the entire team comes out flat in a big game...that's got a lot to do with the coaching...and Seattle picked our D apart the entire first half. Spurs kept getting caught out of position time and time again, I don't how many times Parker wound up guarding Lewis...it's obvious Seattle was tricking the D...If we had started trapping in the first half when it was obvious Seattle has our D figured out..we might not have had to come back from 19 down.
In any case...you want to blame Barry for not being good then do so...but don't blame him for this loss...guys who only play 6 minutes don't get blamed for losses.
Seattle does create matchup problems. Pop has to put a call into Larry Brown tonight, so he can get this figured out.
And then he shut him down like a mofo in the 3rd quarter -- which pissed me off even more because I was like WTF could he do that in the first half!?And what's Bowen's excuse? That's his whole ing game is D...and he got butt ed by Ray Allen the entire first half
I'll give Bowen credit for making adjustments at the half. But the defensive effort in the first half was embarrassing.
Btw, props to Pop for benching Rasho.
I don't hold Bowen responsible for the first half. I hold Pop responsible...I don't know if you guys could see it live as well as we could see it on TV, but the Spurs played basically a new type of D in the second half...they trapped Ridnour and Allen. The first half is on Pop...he just let that wound bleed until half time. My point on Bowen is that I'm trying to make a point about a double standard.
That first half is on Pop...Bowen's D, the whole teams's D, improved when we started trapping Ray Allen and Ridnour at the beginning of the second half. Seattle hated that trap...and we definitely need to utilize it from the get go the next time we face Seattle. They can beat our standard man D...they own it, I don't know how they own it...
Maybe Barry is faxing them the Spurs playbook...but what ever...they own it. They make the Spurs base D look like the Mavs....and it's not a fluke, they did it in game 1, they did it in this game, and I know the Spurs were playing hard when they were down by 19, they could not do anything until they started trapping.
The entire first half of the game I was ing that Seattle had our D figured out and we needed to do something different...I give Pop credit for coming out with a better game plan...but I give him total blame for not doing it before half time...
