Milk carton forum.
There has been a lot of talk about the play of Brent Barry. Some posters think that Barry sucks and is just the placeholder starter until Manu Ginobili comes in. Some posters think that Brent Barry does a lot of help the Spurs win and is a vital cog.
What is the truth? What numbers can you point out to prove your point?
Let the answers begin.
big dog is the answer
barry ,hedo,mercer are not
1.000 playoff win % with brent as starting 2
hey timvp can you hook up any pics of brents wife?
He can be, when he wants to be.Brent Barry does a lot of help the Spurs win and is a vital cog
But when he is floating around and just bricking jumpers like last night, thats the problem I have with him.
When he is agressive and giving a crap like Game 4 and game 2, then he is great.
They had the same through 6 playoff games with Hedo last year. Not really a meaningful 'stat'.1.000 playoff win % with brent as starting 2
barry brought it one out of 5 games against the nuggets
that was about his regular season average
smith atleast went off against his former team and told people how to shoot
If you take out the game that Pop put Barry into the starting lineup, surprising George Karl and pretty much everyone else, Barry's numbers so far in the playoffs are pretty horrible.
MPG -- 23.5
PPG -- 4.0
FG% -- 35.7%
3P% -- 10.0%
I'm not sure how someone could defend those numbers.
and that was after a good game![]()

Barry better go off on his old team or I will lose my confidence in him.![]()
I have a problem with a player that is SO passive, that the team makes a change to their lineup, in the playoffs, so that his poor defense is covered by 2 All Defensive players, and the scoring from him isn't neccessary with that unit.But when he is floating around and just bricking jumpers like last night, thats the problem I have with him.
until they lose with manu coming off the bench, you have to stick with it
like a mrs barry thread, i saw her only once on TV, shes hot
I don't think that Barry is the type of player that will step up and try to bury his former team. Jon Barry? Yeah. Steve Smith? Yeah. Brent Barry? Nah.
His numbers versus the Sonics so far this year are pretty bad -- 36% from the field and beyond the arc.
Good thing for Brent that he's good quote material for the media. It seems to be shielding him from being asked why he sucks so much.
MPG -- 23.5
PPG -- 4.0
FG% -- 35.7%
3P% -- 10.0%
But but but but, he set a fabulous pic on Kenyon Martin.
those numbers are stupid
why did brent barry even make the playoff roster
big dog BETTER GET MORE MINUTES
Brent isn't aggressive enough, don't get me wrong he's a good player to have on the court because he is a smart basketball player, but he has the potential to be so much better but he lacks aggressiveness.
yeah barry been playing like lately, but he's like a 2nd point out there and he spreads the D
anyway the arguement should be how well manu is playing coming off, pop really did create the best bench in the nba
Hedo in round one last year:
10.0 PPG
5.8 RPG
2.0 APG
41.9 FG%
42.9 3P%
Barry is a non-factor sometimes and players horrible D more often than not. But I still believe there will be a game or two in this playoff run where he will come up HUGE for the Spurs.
I beg to differ, it's not that brent CANT step up, it's that he doesnt know how too, he really really wants to contribute every game, he just has'nt always been able get his shot to fall, the only time he has been able to connect is when the team really needed him too. Barry will come through in crunch time, mark my words, he will not let down
In the mean time, he will continue to do the little things that keep our offense going
You've obviously never met Mr. Whottt.
he will continue to do the little things that keep our offense going
Yeah that 3 on 1 break where he ran straight into Nene was a perfect example of him keeping the offense going no question.
manus gonna play more min anyway, its more to rattle the opponent
pops not gonna be scared to take barrys ass out in the first minute if hes screwing up
ill be the first one to admit i was wrong if barry has a bad game and the spurs lose
but you gotta give him the benefit of the doubt
Like what? Staying out of the way?
Kori, I hope you're right, but if he doesn't, they need to ship him out this summer for an ending contract, so that maybe next year they can sign a player who contributes, like Nazr.
