God, if he keeps it up, that's huge.
Oh wait, he had another good game...
Since Pop has publically beckoned for leaders, Barry's two games have been:
17, 4, and 3, 2-3 on threes
23 points, 5 boards, 5-7 on threes
Horry ain't lookin too bad either

Horry's shot is falling but he really needs to pick it up on the rebounds now that Malik is gone...he can't coast anymore. I think Beno is a better rebounder right now.
Props to Barry. Although it was against the Hawks, it was still a good effort.
Maybe with Devin Brown out of the picture, it will help him realize that it's all on him now and he won't have to look over his shoulder. Before, he knew if he messed up that Pop would just put in Devin. Now he knows that he'll get a lot of minutes no matter what, so he can just go out and play.
Oh and AHF, why no comments about your boy Nazr lately? How are you going to like that Malik Rose avatar?
QUESTIONS.
IF he had a bad game against the Hawks you would say he was choking...so why doesn't a good game mean he is stepping up...with no qualifiers? His slump isn't due to how he is being defended anyway.
I think it's running the offense through the bigs that screws him up more than anything...he's just not used to it. But you are probably right that Pop's habit of yanking Devin and Barry for minor mistakes and playing favorites has caused them to lose confidence in their games at times this season...Maybe with Devin Brown out of the picture, it will help him realize that it's all on him now and he won't have to look over his shoulder. Before, he knew if he messed up that Pop would just put in Devin. Now he knows that he'll get a lot of minutes no matter what, so he can just go out and play.
I think Barry started turning the corner a few games back. Hopefully the extra minutes he's getting now will continue to do him some good. When Devin comes back, be it at the end of the regular season or sooner, I know he can jump right back into the mix. Barry played confident and aggressive tonight. His And One dunk was good to see.
LAMO @ AHF asking "Where's the Hate"?
The thing is, we've all been pulling for Barry. I'm glad he's turning it around.
I really hope he continues to play that way BUT there will be also some bad games!!! Lets wait and see what he is doing against the good teams cause that is where we need him the most.
Yea, who wouldnt look good against the Hawks?
Nazr Mohammed for one.
Sadly enough thats true.
Nature abhors a moron.
I think Barry is better for the spurs than devin. I think devin being out helps barry. I love devin, but i'd love him more if he was the only option. given a choice between two reserve three guards, barry helps the spurs more. If Barry gains his confidence in this stretch and pop benches him after two missed three pointers again in favor of Devin when he returns, then our le hopes are over. Devin is what we want. Barry is what we need. no barry, no le. the spurs need a hot three to win the le. ex: jaren jackson and stephen jackson. the spurs have never won a le without a hot three. A confident barry is what the spurs need.
Ding, ding, ding. The ATL is one of the worst defensive teams in the league. If Barry doesn't flatline against HOU and SEA, I might think he's turned the corner.Although it was against the Hawks...
barry has brought nothing against sonics his former team yet this year
he will get props from me if he does
Two games doesn't make a season, but it's a step in the right direction. Hopefully he can keep it up. I think for once, we actually hope that Whott has been right and we've been wrong.I guess there's a first time for everything.
Exactly! If Barry can play like this for the rest of the season and post season I'll be happy to admit my wrong-doing of Brent and the lack of faith I've had in him.Two games doesn't make a season, but it's a step in the right direction.

I'm not a "Barry hater" but a "Barry sucks" or at least until the last couple of games did. Some have had an enormous capacity to see beauty in Barry's game for the Spurs where there was none for the previous 60+ games or better yet the capacity to blame everybody but Barry for the reason he was sucking, beit Pop, Parker, the coyote, the ballboy.
Props to Barry. Hopefully he's turning it around. His next couple of games against Seattle and the Rockets I hope we continue to see the Barry the Spurs bought and paid for and need not the one that requires Barry pimpers to dig deep into their bag of excuses for.
No need to stop hating now...it gives the board something to talk about...hate away if it makes you feel better.
So much for Barry's not being a spot-up shooter.
Barry sucked because of Barry, and now he's playing well because of Barry.
Thanks, Brent.
PicNRoll...did you notice in last nights game our offense was run almost entirely through the guards and featured a lot more transition...it makes a difference.
If you can't have a transition game against the Hawks, you should request demotion to the NBDL.
If he shows up I'll cheer as loud as anyone. If he does his job. If he plays and stays aggressive. If the can't hit the three stop hanging his head. Step in and take the shopt. Drive to the damn basket and take the foul like a man.
Besides it's Parker and his fading that's POing me off now. Parker stop leaving it all for Manu to get done in crunch time. Manu is having to kill himself carry this team when it counts.
