He is a good player. He kicked major ass behind the arc in the season last year, but he's just too goddamn inconsistent when it comes to the playoffs.
Okay, so last night I had a wonderful night on the town then decided to watch 2005 Finals game 7 again. Good decision!
This game (what a game!) reminded me a just how good Barry has been in the clutch for us during his time here, but so many people give him a bad rap!
He and Rob carried us in the first half of that game, and he was also excellent in a number of other games that series, and in those playoffs as a whole. Also, last year he played a crucial role in kick-starting the team against Denver. He's had spurts of extreme effectiveness throughout his time here, and I think he's under-appreciated.
Barry has a very high bball IQ, runs the team well when he's asked to, takes care of the ball, passes beautifully, moves well off the ball, hustles his arse off, and hits the 3 at over 40%, often in momentum-turning situations. Also, he's clearly a great team glue guy. Aren't those the reasons why he was brought here?
Admittedly, he is overpaid, and his gun-shyness can become annoying, but often he holds off on the trigger because he doesn't want to jack a 3 early in the clock as per team rules.
I say more props for Barry!

He had 1 good game vs Phoenix, game 1.
One decent game, game 7 against Detroit.
Other than that?
Hes been a bust and a huge dissapointment. No sugar coating it.
Game winner/tier against the Kings in 06.
He's had other good games...you're just a blind hater...
And what you fail to notice...his man never leaves him. He never gets doubled off of...
You can't put a price on that when it's coming from a bench player.
But by all means don't let me get in the way of your blind hate T Hate...
You've been hating for 3 years now and they've been good years...might as well hate to the end.
Brent Barry kicks ass.
Well it's not as bad as tony'sBrent Barry gets a bad rap...
^^^end of discussion
Brent Barry is okay . . . But we could have had J.R. Smith for him if only we were not a few seconds late . . . That's JR Smith!! people. THE JR Smith.
Bottom line, we need to trade Beno. He SUCCCKKKKS!
And how did we end up with Fran Elson, and let Jackie Butler go????? Jackie was great. I was so hoping Denver would match and the Knicks wouldn't. Elson SUCCKKKS!
Bottom line, Beno SUCCKKKKS!!!!
Barry is awesome! If this is his last year, I hope he goes out with a bang.
you really wanna bring up 06?Game winner/tier against the Kings in 06.
How much of a scared he was against Dallas, to where he screwed up an INBOUNDS PASS for god's sake.
06-07 SAS 19 0 11.8 .350 .306He's had other good games...you're just a blind hater...
Take a guess whos stats that was in the playoffs last year?
yeah thats blind hate...

I think he deserves to stay and is a big part of the spurs, off the court also.
J.R. Smith's clueless turnover in Game 3 helped to ruin any chance the Nuggets had last season. Barry is actually the better player right now.
Forget about the fact that JR Smith had some DWI...or something. He's a bonehead.
Anyway...biggest problem Barry had with Spursfans...
They expected him to be a scorer...
Dude's career high was like 14 ppg as a starter, logging 30+ minutes per game and being one of the focal points of the offense, on an uptempo team...his career average when coming to the Spurs was 10ppg...
I really don't understand why people were expecting him to be Vinny Johnson, or Ric Barry lite...their bad.
'
I guess no one ever actually watched him play before he got here.
He wasn't the reason we lost against Dallas....
You're as lame as timvp with the +/- from that series....
And he got his minutes cut...
At least he didn't start averaging 8ppg fewer in the same minutes....like Finley did...as he choked ing ass in the finals.
Finley averaged 15 points per game in the playoffs.At least he didn't start averaging 8ppg fewer in the same minutes....like Finley did...as he choked ing ass in the finals
yeah thats choking.
ing idiot.
If you remember, wich im sure you typically forget, he hurt his ing back in game 3 vs Utah, and never shot the same after that.
Also another stat, when Finley scored in double figures, the Spurs were undefeated.
So don't try and bag on Finley, Finley was a huge reason the Spurs won.
, they don't make it out of the first round against Denver without Finley.
Averaging 15 PPG in the playoffs, but only 3 in the finals?
Defines ing choking...
SFB.
BFD, Barry got hurt his back and got his minutes cut, because of injury...and you don't cut him any slack...If you remember, wich im sure you typically forget, he hurt his ing back in game 3 vs Utah, and never shot the same after that.
At least he was consistent...and didn't average 12 fewer PPG in the biggest games of his career...that's a ing choke.
BS...didn't need him in 2005...we added him 2006 and were worse off for it....his old team got better for losing him...kicked our asses in fact, and made the finals.Also another stat, when Finley scored in double figures, the Spurs were undefeated.

Horse ...that's like saying AJ's shot was clutch...
We don't make it out of the first round in 06 without Barry's game winner...
How many of those has Finley hit in his Spurs career? 1? In the regular season? Against a decimated Laker team?
Finley is over-rated...if he was worth a he would have a le from when he played with TWO MVP's....
Alright lets break out the stats against the Nuggets so Whottt can choke on em and try and spin em...
Game 2 14 points 7 rebounds
Game 3 16 points 5 rebound
Game 4 9 points 3 rebounds
Game 5 26 points 4 rebounds
For the wins in the series 16.25 PPG 4.75 rebounds
Ginobili in the wins 14 PPG
Parker in the wins 18 PPG
So wow look at that.
1.75 points less than the Finals MVP, and 2 points better than Ginobili.
The third leading scorer for the team in the series.
So as you see, Finley stepped up when Ginobili was struggling.
That means he was the XFactor, and the MVP of the series.
THANK YOU!
16 points

It was the first round....
How many game winners?
The guy averages more points per game than Ginobili, and gets 26 in the clinching game, and you still aren't satsified.
off.
That's what Finley does...takes shots....whether they are falling or not...
Usually he's just good enough to be on the court, to choke when it matters most.
You act like the Spurs couldn't score without him...I promise you, they can, in fact they did all season long...
When he sucked ass about as badly as ass can be sucked.
Game 5 8 of 9 from Three point land.That's what Finley does...takes shots....whether they are falling or not...
Spurs franchise record.
:
Miss game 5 vs Phoenix when he hit dagger three after dagger three?Usually he's just good enough to be on the court, to choke when it matters most.
Oh yeah, selective memory..

So?
Barry busted 5 in the fourth quarter of game 1 of the 2005 WCF...blew the ing game open...doesn't keep you from ting on him. Was more impressive BTW. Game 1 on the road...biggest game of his career...as opposed to the biggest games of Finley's career...the NBA finals..where he sucked.
I've never seen a player choke in 4 consecutive games that badly before either...you'd think he'd mix in a good one just to break up the tedium...
I kind of like them both...
Anyway, Ruff agree with everything you said, mirrors my sentiments exactly. If he could only play some defence.
Team Game. Everyone contributes or Pop sits their ass. We're the Champs. Why rag on anyone?
i like Brent on our team
