Six years running now of refusing to address our FT shooting problem.
Robert Horry: DNP- Coach's Decision
If your whole reason for bringing in Barry and Horry is to man the perimeter to free up Tim, why are they playing a combined five minutes tonight while Orlando triple ing teams Tim?
The one constant for the Spurs offense over the past three weeks has been teams deploying more and more zone against us. This trend is apparently lost on our staff, who has yet to figure out how to run a damn zone offense.
At one point I saw Pop call 4down when Orlando was running zone. You know what posting up Tim in a zone gest you? Beat.
I'd say it's on the missed free throws and a lack of defense in the 4th.
The free throwing situation has improved on this team greatly, but the reality of the situation is that while you have the largest contributer of FTs one Tim Duncan, the percentage isn't going to soar.
Yeah cause he was smokin and baggin shots left and right in the first half.Barry
Those passes to the Magic were a thing of beauty too.
That and ignore that Malik Ros an 80% free throw shooter missed some.The free throwing situation has improved on this team greatly
Udrih an 80% missed 1
Ginobili who hits high mid 70s missed some.
But thats pop's fault those guys missed em.
So Whottt,
Even though your man Brent Barry was playing fantastic
0-2
2 turnovers 5 minutes.
He shouldve played more right??
Of course.
But of course, Shane Heal was an all star.
Brent Barry got seven minutes. Guys who got much more time than him did even less.Yeah cause he was smokin and baggin shots left and right in the first half.
Tpark, you wonder why you piss me off. Orlando ran zone half the third quarter, a timespan during which the Spurs scored no points in six minutes. Where was Barry? Where was Horry? Where was our offense?
I know you love Pop, but open your ing eyes. Right now zone defense is le kryptonite for this team.
Seattle has done it to us twice. Every Spurs loss this year has seen teams going zone on us, resulting in a lengthy scoring drought.
Maybe it'll sink in when Phoenix runs it on our ass next week and runs us out of the gym by 25, I don't know what else it will take to get it through that thick skull of yours.
The fact remains, FT shooting has and still is one of the bigger problems of this team. And it's bull that the at ude of our coaching staff, arguably one of the most detail oriented in the league, is to not address the situation because "it might hurt Tim's feelings."
Where was Barry? On the in bench where he in belongs.
You brick 2 absolutely wide open threes, and look scared doing it?
you, sit on the bench.
What asuprise, Whottt and Aggie tag team for there brother Barry.
When willI don't know what else it will take to get it through that thick skull of yours.
Barry has sucked ass
get through your thick skull.
Christ Tpark, you're as dense as a brick.
Beno Udrih, 14 minutes, 1-3, two points, Devin played 24 minutes and was 2-9, at what point do you give Brent a chance?
What about Horry? What's your Popsucking excuse for not giving him any run tonight?
As for our FT shooting, I've lost count of the number of times the last 4 years where the Spurs have lost a game by 5-6 points (like tonight) and missed double figure FTs (13 of 26 tonight).
But hey, it's not a problem, when it bites us in the ass in the playoffs, we'll just trade off a few guys, waive a few, plant some stories in the press about how they were a locker room cancer, etc.
Manu sucks. Beno sucks. Barry sucks. Rasho sucks. Pop sucks.
Most of all, Manu is the biggest ing overrated player ever in the NBA.
I've seen several Spurs miss much more than that, you still suck their s. Malik could go 2 for 20, you'll still say he "hustled."You brick 2 absolutely wide open threes, and look scared doing it?
you, sit on the bench.
When will the fact he's a bench player, not a ing superstar, get through yours? Oh well, I forgot, Barry is the forum . Never mind his impact on our great start this year, nevermind two games in the last week he saved our ass off the bench.When will
Barry has sucked ass
get through your thick skull.
Pop has decreed Barry sucks, so you trumpet it like some kind of Popdamn broken record player.
Who was the guy that was the cancer??But hey, it's not a problem, when it bites us in the ass in the playoffs, we'll just trade off a few guys, waive a few, plant some stories in the press about how they were a locker room cancer, etc.
the 80% ft shooting Antonio Daniels??
Yeah trade him, cause, uh, I dont know, hes missing free throws.
Brent Barry against Jameer Nelson and Steve Francis.Beno Udrih,
Theres a pretty sight.
But, he can shoot!!
oops, 0-3, I forgot the 1 on 5 layup that got swatted that one time.
Dont cheat him shots.
How did Devin do?
And what did Horry do to deserve not a single minute of PT?
Another big game...Pop refuses to use his bench...I've been ing about the way he uses the bench in big games since the Detroit series...
Every game Pop does the same ...every game the same struggles...
Just tell me one ing thing...
Why in the did Robert Horry not deserve a single second of PT?
What in the did he do wrong?
This has been a trend of Pop in every big game...barely playing Horry, Barry and sometimes Beno..and the result is a 4th quarter or second half
meltdown of missed FT's and TO's...
Every game he does it the result is the same, how hard is it to see?
You want me to post the stats?
What in the is he doing? Just ing expliain it to me.
Explain it to me and maybe I'll shut up.
I'm not going to about freethrows, but one thing that wasn't good is the starters played such heavy minutes on the end front of the back-to-back.
Bowen playing 40, Timmy 38, TP 36 and Manu 33. All above their season averages -- Pop usually tries to cut their minutes a little bit in this type of situation. I agree that the bench should have seen more time.
In the 3rd against that zone, Pop should have put Udrih, Barry, and Manu out on the flor together. Devin and Bowen had no place out there because they wereno't doing on the defensive end either.
Let's see, the list has been:Who was the guy that was the cancer??
Avery Johnson (fought with Rose in the locker room)
Malik Rose (you remember, you ed all last year, and half of the year before about his PT)
Derek Anderson
Antonio Daniels
I'm sure others will pitch in, it's usually our M.O. when we dump a guy.
When will the fact he's a bench player, not a ing superstar, get through yours? Oh well, I forgot, Barry is the forum . Never mind his impact on our great start this year, nevermind two games in the last week he saved our ass off the bench.
Pop has decreed Barry sucks, so you trumpet it like some kind of Popdamn broken record player.
Yeah these 7 minute 0-2 2 turnover games are fantastic contributions.Never mind his impact on our great start this year,
Hes a bench player, so what, hes supposed to be the greatest shooter of all time.
1 out of 3 is not out of the question.
Really??Pop has decreed Barry sucks
I thought that was Rasho.
Got a link for when Pop said that about Barry??
Id love to see it.
Brown had a horrible game 2-9, 1 shot came in garbage time when they needed a three. Did Pop go to the Parcells school of stubborn coaching. I don't blame Pop for questioning Barry after the two misses but everybody sucked today. Barry should have at least had a second chance.
Avery Johnson (fought with Rose in the locker room)
Malik Rose (you remember, you ed all last year, and half of the year before about his PT)
Derek Anderson
Antonio Daniels
All good free throw shooters.
Not seeing your point.
I agree with you Manny, throw in Horry in Rasho's spot as well. Last week Orlando had us in the same quandry in the third, we put in Horry, Beno, and Barry, and went on a 16-2 run or something like that.n the 3rd against that zone, Pop should have put Udrih, Barry, and Manu out on the flor together. Devin and Bowen had no place out there because they wereno't doing on the defensive end either.
Oh, and another thing, Bowen played 40 minutes tonight. Why? Oh yeah, Brent Barry sucks [/Pop, Tpark, Popsuckers Anonymous]
Still waiting for someone to tell me why Horry didn't get a second of PT...
Someone please explain it to me...I am too stupid to get it.
Another big game
These mid December games are huge.
And your lying, even if someone did say why he didnt play, you wouldnt shut up.
Why didnt Horry play??
Why did Barry miss open shots and turn the ball over like a rookie?
When the entire Spurs team is fncked like tonight, end to end, playing Horry or Barry, ain't gonna make a big difference, if any diff at all.
Yeah he did something foreign to Brent Barry.Oh, and another thing, Bowen played 40 minutes tonight. Why? Oh yeah, Brent Barry sucks
He actually made a few shots.
But Brent Barry is infalliable.
