AHF - I think you misunderstand most of us. I've never been a hatah. He just had to EARN his time. He's starting to.
So, do the resident haters still think he should be at the end of the bench?
Just curious. Brent playing over 20 minutes = Spurs win.

ex,
This was directed at the people (and there were some on this site) who were even going so far as to say it was time to trade Barry for anything we could get, because he so *bad.*
Brent Barry has earned time his whole career. What did he suddenly forget?
you saying that makes you a "hatah"
Its great seeing him be the first one off the bench.
Games like tonight, 14 and 6 assits are what the Spurs gave him his 6 million dollar deal.
Now its time for Malik and Devin Brown fans to start ing about their player's plaing time.
Problem was tonight, Bowen was playing so well, Ginobili was good, Barry was great, that there wasnt any time for him.
get some time VS Indiana more than likely.
Aggie, I agree then, and on that note, I say ignore those morons, cause they have no clue of the game.This was directed at the people (and there were some on this site) who were even going so far as to say it was time to trade Barry for anything we could get, because he so *bad.*
Weren't u a hata tpark? Then you show up to the game in a Barry Jersey.
Why should Rose fans start ing about PT? Shouldn't we be holding him to the same standards Barry was held to?
What did he contribute tonight? Three fouls and a bad miss?
Not at all.Weren't u a hata tpark
Ive been like Ex, hes had to step his defense up and overall game up, to play more.
You ask hes earned PT his whole career, well thats the problem, wherever hes been, they dont give a crap about defense, and you see what kind of teams they are.
Dude was brought here to jack up 3s not become all nba defense.
Jesus.
I don't care if Brent Barry hasn't hit a shot in a month, when our offense stagnates, he should be the first guy off the bench and the ball should be running through his hands...he should also always see time if we have a 14 point lead heading into the 4th...always. Other than that I don't care what his minutes are and never have.
And I am against rotting Rose and Brown out on the bench for the same reasons I was against doing it to Horry and Barry...they have things to offer, of a different nature...
But I don't like going with either one of them in the closing seconds of a game...I much prefer Barry and Horry over anyone else on the bench.
Beno and Devin are too inexperienced...
And BTW, how come no one ever noticed that Devin tends to have his best games when he is getting court time with Barry...Barry knows how to utilize Devin's strengths better than anyone else on the team.
This teams depth is it's greatest strength...it should be used and it should be used every game.
No one said all defense dork .Dude was brought here to jack up 3s not become all nba defense.
Jesus
Just someone who doesnt become a liability.
Sorry whottt, tonight, someone was gonna have to bite the bullet and not get minutes.
Thats the way it is.
You CANT have a freakin 10 man rotation.
Well that's a myth, you know who has used a 10 man rotation more in the past 15 years than any other coach?
Phil Jackson...and his 9 rings.
He's twice used an extensive 10 man rotation in years when he won the le...and by extensive I mean more of one than Hubie used last season.
2 times out of 9 isnt a great sell.He's twice used an extensive 10 man rotation in years when he won the le
8 to 9 man rotations will win out, also depending on matchups on how the way things go.
Who cares if it was only two times out of nine, he also had Jordan and Pippen in Chicago, and then Kobe and Shaq and LA. Little bit different than here in SA.
What was it that Sean said tonight about Barry? Something like "when Brent Barry is in the game, the offense just clicks, it's fun."
What the would he ever know about that?
I rally for Brent Barry to be given more playing time & I AM really glad he met my expectations this wk. Glad Devin had a big 4th qtr, too! But, again where's Malik?
Still waiting for his pump fake to work.But, again where's Malik?
Hats off to Barry. He is starting to play the way I expected him to. I am not a Barry hater, I just wasnt satified with his resistance to shooting open shots and playing adequit defense. Tonight Barry showed he is capable of both. I just hope he continues to earn minutes like he did tonight. I just dont think Barry is the savoir that puts Spurs over the top, he is a role playing that if contributes in a positive fashion can help the Spurs to win the 3rd le.
Bowen haters need to apologize and Bowen needs to be on Rome show every game day.
Okay! We need him to pump more against Indiana, it seems Horry has injured his shoulder(?), might need Malik to back up Rasho.
I'm one of the biggest Bowen fans on the board...but the fact is Bowen has gotten smoked in a lot of big games this season, in nearly every loss, and he got smoked against the Lakers in the playoffs last season.
You look at the losses we have had in big games this seasons the common denominator in all of them is Bruce getting smoked.
I don't really hold that against Bruce though, Bruce has a difficult job night in and night out and expends a ton of energy..he's not a spring chicked......Bruce doesn't need to start for the same reason Barry doesn't need to start...because we have a younger player that is more complete than either of them in Devin Brown...
You guys want to call out Barry or Malik or Horry...
Pay attention...Bruce got smoked in both Seattle games, he got smoked by Tmac in the closing seconds against Houston, he got smoked in the Orlando loss, he got smoked by Peja on Sunday...
I realize Bruce has built up a lot of love over the past few seasons, and I love the guy as well...
But the fact is his age is showing, he does not have it every night on D any more...and he hasn't had a post season J since about halfway through the playoffs two years ago...all those combacks we had when we ton the le, Bruce wasn't on the court for those...
He needs to be saved and rested during the regular season, the greatest improvement we can make on this team that we haven't already made is to maximize Devin Brown's potential, and you do that by starting him....he is a better defender than Barry and he is a better offensive player than Bruce...and before anyone says it...Devin looks a lot better at this stage than Jax did and we started Jax.
What's Devin's qwhottta of minutes per game to develop him?
What's Bruce's qwhottta of minutes to "save" him?
Oh , just give your qwhottta for all the swingmen.
What started out as a decent thread has now been infected with stupidity. Fumble away Chump, this should be amusing.
Hey Tpark, stop the insults. Why do you have to insult? Can't you disagree without insulting someone?
"This teams depth is it's greatest strength...it should be used and it should be used every game"
Correct.
"You can't have a ten man rotation"
Why not--if you have the talent to go deep? You can use the deep bench to run the other team into the ground by the 4th quarter. Most players have to pace themselves to play 35-40 minutes. And if someone simply isn't clicking on a particular night, either the starting five or reserves, you have someone who's played a lot and is ready to take on the responsibility.
Most teams have used a shorter rotation because they simply didn't have good NBA talent at the ninth and tenth spots. It's tough for everyone on this board to pick and agree on the 9th and 10th players. That ought to tell you something.
This Spurs team is a freak talentwise.
Look, if you want a set ten-man rotation, then say who comes in when and how the minutes should be distributed.
If you don't think minutes should be set, then it's not really different from what the Spurs are doing now. You can just stick with your vague "I want this guy to play when I want him to play" missives.
