yes, oops, only 3-14 thru mid-3rd qtr, 3rd cold shooting game for the Spurs best shooter. Has he forgot how to shoot?
Duncan looks like he's heading for an MVP year. 7-7 FTs!!! Go Teemee
I know its just pre-season but he's shooting horrifically, I'm just worried he's gonna turn into another Hedo! Do you guys think that maybe he's shootin maybe too many 3's and needs to calm down? (even though 3's are his specialty) I hope he sorts this slump out by the time the regular season starts!

Yeah Barry is in a bit of a slump but I'm not too concerned. Any guard with career fg% of .464 after many years in the league means they are a great shooter and they'll eventually tend towards their average.
He shot 50% just last year which is exceptionally rare for a guard. Once he gets more comfortable with his new teammates and starts receiving the ball in his favorite spots, he'll be deadly I'm sure. His knack for assists alone is going to make an impact.
Manu didn't suit up, resting.
Is Malik suited up? 0 minutes?
No, Malik didn't suit up either but he's not injured. Just Pop's decision.
Stephen Jackson's performances are making Barry look like Hedo's twin brother.
The more that time goes by, the more stupider Pop and RC get.
It was quite simple. Pay Jackson, Keep him, and build around Parker, Jackson and Tim.
How is it possible to up a Championship team?
The Spurs are now 0 and 7 since winning the first 2 Laker games in the playoffs.
Yeah, I would say we are the favorite to win it all...... Why? Because of Barry? Uh, okay.....
Pop is stupid.
Our bench is kind of weak. I think this will hurt us in the future...
Barry isn't looking too hot right now. He's not hitting his shots, is making bad passes and playing bad D. I'm sure he'll be fine by the regular season.
Right?![]()
Barry is going to be fine. Once he comes into his skin Pop and RC will look like freakin' geniuses.
I think once he gets used to the team he will play a lot better than he has in the recent games. I hope so at least so that we will have that spark off the bench.
big deal.
its middle october.
its still baseball season for gosh sakes!!![]()
I have seen people play 3 on 3 tournaments that have never played together and they still hit shots. That's not an excuse.
Stephen Jackson is on a new team and he is kicking ass already. That's a bull excuse.
Obviously, Barry has a little Hedoitis in him. That goes along with the expectation of being a Spur.
I ain't sugarcoating anymore, Pop should have signed Jackson. Jackson wanted the Spurs, Pop is stupid, it was in the media, in the newspapers, in interviews, Jackson wanted to come here. Why does Pop continue to sign bull unproven players? Go with the ring. Rebuild the 03 team.
Just start the ing regular season. This pre-season is getting old fast.
So sequ,
you wouldve cut your blood brother Manu to sign Stephen Jackson??
They couldnt sign both.
Grow a brain.
Sequ has already said he'd rather have Stephen Jackson than Manu.
Ahh ok,
so Stephen Jackson is better than Manu + Barry???
Right right I see.
This is the same guy who sequ said "Didnt deserve to sell sodas in the SBC Center"
Flip Flop Flip Flop.
He makes John Kerry seem like George Washington.
What's weird to me is Barry is playing like a giddy rookie, while Beno is playing like the seasoned vet.

While I don't often agree with sequ, I'd say he's dead on here. Any of us who plays basketball should know that shooting is a skill that's quite independent of team mates. It doesn't matter who you're teamed up with.
If you know how to shoot, it will be on 'automatic'.
I understand that maybe for the first 2 games, he could've had a small slump, but someone of his standard will rarely have such a long stretch of poor shooting... 2-12 is horrible, especially following his sucky previous showings.
Could be that he spends so much energy trying to defend well that his shooting has suffered from it though... Only excuse I can find so far.
But then again, I haven't had the chance to see any games so far...
Hope Barry doesn't catch the Spur "poor shooting" syndrome. At least he's still hitting his FTs![]()
Keep in mind that one of those two made shots was a layup.
Another thing is I hope he improves on turnovers. His turnovers were pretty bad tonight
I bet that he is just trying too hard right now. Everyone keeps saying that his addition is what will put us over the top. He is trying to live up to that and learn a new system and play with new people....it could be enough to make him think TOO much about his play.
I hope this is the case anyways.
Shoulda, woulda, coulda thats all in the past now
I liked Stephen Jackson i reckon that his play really complimented the team but Barry s aight too he ain't up and coming but he's been around a while. He looks like he would be more easier to coach and slot in to pops program. We lost a good player in Stephen but nevertheless we are still a championship team with or without him so dont worry bout that.
I guess give me time to watch Barry in the regular season coz i also have my worries that he will be another Hedo but there games are totally different. Barry can put the ball on the floor, and he got more hops that Hedo and need i say more bout his shooting percentage. I want him to take the ball in more though during the regular season thats what i think stephen brought to the 03 team he was a "slasher". Barry could be one too if he eases up on the 3's a bit
