Anybody know what's going on? He came out of his injury on a nice shooting streak. But it seems lately, Adelman hasn't played him much. I find that odd, because Barry is a good fit for the motion offense.
I think it has alot to do with the play of Von Wafer. I do think however, Barry will get Wafer's minutes during the play-offs.
that would be a huge mistake on RA.......He should cut into Aaron Bricks minutes....or at least be open minded about the situation and whoever is in the funk for that game cut into there minutes....it is all about winning isn't it?
You have McGrady comming back. I am sure Rick would love to use Barry, but when? You've got Wafer who hasbeen great so he deserves to play. Ron is a backup SF and Aaron a backup PG. There are really no minutes for Barry. But yes, I think he should have played against GSW.
I think they should insert him in the last 2 minutes of each period no matter what and set him up to get a couple of threes.
Guys return to the rotation, someone's got to leave the rotation. He did well, but Von Wafer is the guy that locked in his place.
Brent Barry has multiple championship experience. This is what veterans are for. Wafer can afford to make mistakes in the regular season, but we need veteran savvy more during the postseason.
if you read what i wrote you will notice that i said i hope that RA will go with whoever has the hot hand....and i also said that Barry should cut into Aaron Bricks minutes, never ever did you read that Barry shouldn't play....He should play, but playing in Aaron's place not Wafer's
Even though Barry isn't an ideal guy to have at the 1,he should be there when Rafer and Brooks are struggling to shoot and pass. Wafer's minutes won't be cut this way.
Well Brooks played like 43 minutes yesterday. Barry easily couldve got 15 minutes out of that 43 and Brooks still wouldve had more than enuff minutes in the game. With that said though its public knowledge that Adelamn likes to go with a short rotation usually 8 guys. He really doesnt like to stretch the bench. I mean this is the same guy who wouldnt play Gerald Wallace even during the regular season, and folks around league knew this guy would be talented which is why he got offered big money off the extension draft form the bobcats
I disagree. He is the only player on the team capable of draining cold-blooded fast-release 3 point shots under pressure in big games.
At this point I would be happy to trade T-mac for some cap relief. I don't like this team when T-mac, Ron, and Yao are on the floor. I do however like this when it's just Yao and Ron along with the rest. I don't care what anyone says, but T-mac's time with Houston has pretty much run its course and I feel it is time to move on.
Agreed. If he's open for 3 he will make you pay. I still don't understand why Adelman doesn't set up game ending plays for this guy, I would much rather he shoot a game winning 3 then T-mac.
it's because ron artest returned. with wafer at the 2, and battier and artest at the 3, theres not much room for barry. battier and artest basically do barry's job with 3 point shooting plus they play defense.
Nah, Brent was a huge key as to why we had success when T-mac and Artest were out. He came in and drained the open 3's and ran the offense well.
