    He just hasnt found the rhythm yet. Hopefully he will. Otherwise Wafer and Brooks will just shoot the threes for him.

    JVG said during yesterday's game that Barry's hand is hurt, that's why he is not shooting very well.

    Everyone knows that the Barrys use the Rockets as a halfway house to retirement.

    +1 to the pool of people thinking luher or wafer shoulpd play instead of barry.
    why keep him in the game for the 4-5 good passes(not assists) he makes??
    he is a completely liability on defense. he doesn't attack the basket. and i still can't forget the terrible turnover against the mavericks...

    wafer at least rebounds and attacks the basket.
    luther shoots and moves better as of now.
    and both play decent defense and ca only improve with more experience.
    barry has more chances to reach exhaustion than regaining his shot at this time in the season. i would not play him more then 8-10 mins. come in, launch a couple of 3s, go back to the bench.

    end of story.

    I would say Wafer>Barry>Luther. I believe Luther isnt getting minutes for a reason that hes going to be traded. So we should play Wafer to let him gain experience or let Barry fit the system.

    Holy crap let Barry heal and let somebody else play. He's sucking something fierce.

    Barry had a good backet and defensive play in the 4th... He's getting into the groove. His shooting hand is still hurt, so he needs time. See him chatting with Yao on the bench at the end of the Magic game, talking strategy. Barry's a legacy, so he belongs.

    He had a shot rim out on him in the 1st hand and he hit a 3.

    But on defense tonight he didn't look good, he made Anthony Johnson look like Allen Iverson out there.

    He made like one out of five million tonight. One! Maybe next time, he can make two.

    lol, why is all the rookies backing up on head?

    Guys, please watch some games before you make any assessments.

    Probably because Head isn't as bad as people make him out to be in the regular season. His problem is when he is playing in the playoffs against Utah.

    B. Barry's entry passes to Yao were amazing. He might be the best on the team at the entry pass to the post. Barry and Ron should work well together off the bench when Battier comes back.

    I gotta agree, he made some fine entry passes. Especially that bounce pass when DHO was trying to front. Yao was almost surprised it got to him and fumbled it away, but scored anyway. Barry is going to be useful, just watch.

    I was watching a warriors game replay on NBA tv and the warriors announcers were talking about Brent. Said he told them he made
    97 of 100 3s in practice. Now you know why Adelman is still playing him despite him sucking, if he starts shooting at that clip the rox won't lose a game.

    I'll tell you one thing though, his shots arn't too far off. Most of them go in than popp back out. Once they start dropping Barry will be looking alot better.
