you know, this is pretty much a dead issue. He started playing better, and nobody's complaining about him anymore. Good. Go Barry!

This guy made all 3 of his assists in the final 6 minutes of regulation, he made the game tying asists, he made the game leading FT's in the 4th...and then he made the game tying assist in OT...Start of the 4th Quarter.

Final Score for the idiots amongst us...125-122
And you guys are calling this guy gutless, heartless and missing in action?
And saying he passes scared?
You are ing stupid.
Maybe the way he passes has something to do with why he has a career assist high higher than any player on our team, inspite of only playing PG regularly for a year....
Note...in the clutch he hand an assist to TO ratio of 3-0, a FT% of 1000...and he made the key assists including the game winner.

Apparently you didn't read the rest of the threads in the forumHe started playing better, and nobody's complaining about him anymore.![]()
Read the forum much?
Kick Brent Barry's ass in this thread
IICR you were a Barry hater too...being observant isn't the strong suit of you guys is it?
Amazing how TPark and Erratic all of a sudden need their pictures posted on a milk carton...
:major enrolleyes
Actually, he's been pretty much right on about Barry so far this season. He's often siding with you.IICR you were a Barry hater too...being observant isn't the strong suit of you guys is it?
He stepped on the hater wagon for a second...I remember it...true he was more objective than most of the haters are....and he wasn't on it long.
The funny thing is it's not like Brent Barry is my favorite player...I just feel that he's been a lot more effective than people realize even if he doesn't hit 80% from 3 every night...and needs defending...
Anyway, I am not after him, but he did step in here and call me out for making this thread...
I am after TPark, Go Spurs and Erratic...they know who the they are...
I also wouldn't mind an appearance from Duncan2millionandone or whoever that was...
Brent Barry sucks
I guess i've been slacking off. I've never been a hater. but I could try. um... barry sucks! Kick him!
Just like your mother at happy hour.
A free throw percentage of 1000? Are you telling me that all of his made free throws counted as 10 pts?? My, that is a valuable player.
P.S. I have never been a Barry hater, just being facitious.
From:Time for Barry to step up
I knew I had you on the list as a potential Barry hater...
Like I said...you weren't totally on the hater wagon and you were pretty objective... but calling a guy a coward means you at least are getting ready to get on it...calling a guy a coward is worse than just saying he sucks...that's about worst tag you can stick on a guy...
I waited all season to finally get mad at him for playing poorly. He was. I finally felt it was time to call him on it. and just when the spurs needed it he stepped up. If I called him a coward then i felt very strongly about his poor play. He stepped up and my momentary fall from liking his game was over. Calling me a Barry hater or even a potential barry hater is just going overboard. Nice memory though.
Right behind Whottt on this issue, Barry does so much other than shoot threes.
See it people, see it.
I have always be a fan of the guy, there was a time when he was stuggling and Brown was hot that i said that brown should get barry's minutes until his hot streak runs out, but I have never been a hater. I think we should leave brown off the playoff roster in favor of Glenn Robinson.
Brent is playing well lately. he had a bad game and made up for it in different ways.
Wasn't the score 125-124
This is getting scary. Is Whottt's gonna go Columbine on us?
Barry is just a really poor shooter on the road overall this season. Can't really expect to change anytime soon, so we have to look to the play that whottt is illustrating.
The problem is we have too many box score jockeys on this site who look down and see 1-5 and think the guy did a bad job.
They're the same people who whine when Manu only has 12 points in the game, but ignore him having 3 steals, taking 4 charges, and making the pass that leads to another pass to a wide open man for an easy hoop.
Hey do you know of a site that keeps tracks of charges taken? I bet he's one of the top in the league, i'm just curious as to what his average per game is though.
If Brent doesn't go 6/4 from the arc tonight, the Spurs should waive him.![]()
Roland Bleech from 82.games is trying to keep track of several of those defensive stats, including charges taken. He has some data publicly available for the Kings, but nothing else. He'll probably start providing more data next year.
In that 2nd Phoenix game Barry was also 1-5 from the floor...until the final 2 minutes of the 4th quarter...
Lots of guys start off 1-5...I'd be willing to be that Manu started off worse than that last night...if they don';t get anymore PT then it's stupid to judge them as having a poor night...
I've also noticed that when all he does is spot up and shoot threes he starts slumping...he seems to hit threes better when he is just out there playing basketball and not forcing it.
