Barry should start

[ALVAREZ6]

Why would Barry start, Barry isn't showing that he knows how to play. He's missing all of his wide open shots.

Barry shouldn't start over Manu, no way.

[ChumpDumper]

Yes he can "earn more minutes" but his past accomplishments should dictate that he not be treated like a rookie who's banished to garbage time when he doesn't produce.

You're absolutely right.

Sincerely,

Ron Mercer

Sorry guys, Devin did it the right way. His minutes were limited early for a reason -- he wasn't defending well and he was very indecisive on offense. He improved -- lo and behold, his minutes increased. No welfare minutes needed.

Since Barry is the seasoned vet who can play so well as all of you are so fond of saying, he can do the same. Quit selling him short. You're insulting him with your welfare offers.

Brent Barry does not need your charity.

1 for December

[whottt]

I guess that's worse.

Please don't reproduce.

[ChumpDumper]

For one of the best shooters in the NBA, it is.

Especially when you want to reward him for it.

No welfare.

No qwotttas.

[whottt]

I'd rather reward the Spurs second half O.

[ChumpDumper]

You mean 0, not O.

That's the number of shots Barry hit.

Reward him with welfare.

[ALVAREZ6]

it's not really mpg that should be our concern... it's plays per game :O...
the spurs just ain't running plays for brent barry anymore, in fact i've seen them give devin brown more plays in a game than 3 games for brent barry O_O

well im saying, give brent barry 20 mpg... and run some plays for him where he actually shoots the ball.

when barry is shooting , he's missing.

Brown deserves plays, he's kocking down his shots.

Either way, what's more important is how each player helps the team to win.
Everyone looks at how the players play individually,
but what really matters is if the team wins, or loses.
As long as the Spurs are winning, who cares what happens.

[ChumpDumper]

The precedents are so clear it's not even funny.

Barry is playing like Steve Smith, so you want to treat him like Hedo.

Quit insulting Brent Barry.

[ChumpDumper]

I've got to start back at square one and try and earn back some minutes by playing, first of all, better on the defensive end. Then, hopefully, my offensive game will find itself again.

Let the man be a man.

No welfare.

[whottt]

Too bad for you that stupidity doesn't translate to wins.

[ChumpDumper]

Yeah, it's stupid to not give Barry 30mpg of .210 shooting this month.

What was I thinking? That's better than any other guard on the Spurs, right?

Let's lie about that stat too -- you lied earlier about his TOs

[whottt]

No, I didn't and he leads the team in 2 pt pct as well...and this time I do mean out of everyone...


I await your next excuse.

[ChumpDumper]

No, I didn't

Yes, LJ owned you severely on that one. You still owe him an apology.

Nice attempt at trying to change the subject.

Again.

[whottt]

Hedo>Manu

Ward>

1w-2l>15w-3l

Losing stupidly>winning with a highly skilled 2 guard in a 3pt shooting slump.


Any other nuggets of stupidity you want to toss out there?

[whottt]

Yes, LJ owned you severely on that one. You still owe him an apology.

Nice attempt at trying to change the subject.

Again.

Um I'll apologize to him when he admits that he was wrong for wanting AJ to be the third string PG.

AJ retired himself...he didn't even want to be on the IR.

In lieu of that...I think it's pretty obvious that he prefers to lose games as long as we have weak shooting scrubs trying hard to play d.

[whottt]

And I'll worry about what you think I should do when you admit you were wrong on any one of the 100% arguments you have been proved wrong with me.

[ChumpDumper]

Really, if all you wanted was a guy who can't shoot the three but has a good 2pt %, can't defend but handles the ball well and does not turn it over much....


LJ and AJ accept your apology.

[TwoHandJam]

You're absolutely right.

Sincerely,

Ron Mercer

Is Ron Mercer a sharpshooter? Did Ron Mercer shoot 50% the year before joining the Spurs? Are Ron Mercer's apg numbers even remotely comparable to Barry's? Does Mercer do anything for a team when his shot isn't falling?

Thanks for playing.

[ChumpDumper]

Is Ron Mercer a sharpshooter?

Whottt said he was, take it up with him.

Did Ron Mercer shoot 50% the year before joining the Spurs?

Ron shot better with the Spurs -- shouldn't the sharpshooter Barry be able to shoot at least as well as the year before?

[whottt]

I'm glad he accepts it...

Meanwhile..you compared AJ and Brent Barry as being similar type 3 shooters...Apologize...it was much more wrong than me being right about Barry being the least TO prone ballhandler on the team.

[TwoHandJam]

Ron shot better with the Spurs -- shouldn't the sharpshooter Barry be able to shoot at least as well as the year before?

Let's not compare 20 games with a full season. I know you can be obstinate but that's downright stupid. If Pop starts giving Barry more than 6mpg for the rest of the season, I guarantee you he'll blow Mercer out of the water in terms of fg%. His years in the league bear that out quite convincingly.

[whottt]

Let's not compare 20 games with a full season. I know you can be obstinate but that's downright stupid.

No, that's Chump...you are arguing with an "it" that thinks Brent Barry and AJ are similar type shooters. See above.

You are also arguing with an "it" that enjoys losing as long as Brent Barry is getting punished for being in a shooting slump.

[ChumpDumper]

If Pop starts giving Barry more than 6mpg for the rest of the season

....it will be because he's playing better. I'm sure he will. But no welfare, no qwhotttas -- he's above that.
