Player The Haggard Falcon Rest Home of Harrison Barnes

Not sure if Barnes has any trade value left.

Guys....I think we just treat Barnes as previous season CP3. Continue Mitch's promise to start him for the rest of the season and good riddance after season ends.
Playing time should be earned to get accountability. If he can’t pull his weight then bench him. Let Olynyk start. That’s the thing our roster is really thin at PF/C position and now getting exposed
 

Are you gonna bump my quotes everytime Barnes has a bad game tbh ?

If you are dumb enough to believe that Spurs biggest problem is Barnes right now, not sure what to tell you. Barnes even on a bad shooting night is one the few providing spacing and spacing is what this team needs most. Spurs lost 3 of their last 5 games, during this strech Spurs outscored opponents with him on the floor by 28 pts, yesterday despite going 1/7 from 3 he had the best +/- of the team at -1. For the season he has better on/off than Fox and Castle.

Barnes is a vet (one of the few of this roster) who did not miss a single game of the season providing what Spurs desperatly need the most spacing for our guards and Victor and you consider he is the weakest link, your takes on Barnes suck, your takes on Victor and the Spurs suck. You are most likely a nice guy who just sucks at ball takes, it's ok you may be better suited for NFL tbh
 
Him missing 3’s…concerning but that’s how it goes for shooters sometimes. I’m not jumping to conclusions about where he’ll be in April with that. History tells us things equalize over time.

I’m more frustrated when he thinks it’s his moment to take on 2 guys in the paint as the 4th option. We already did this with Devin. Shoot the fucking thing. Make cuts. Drive when it’s open. But otherwise let the guards and Wemby initialize. Stop doing hero ball, Harrison. You aren’t nearly good enough. Not NEARLY.

For most players that’s the case but this guys got a documented history. Plus he’s old and washed ok top of that.
 
I'm starting to feel the same way about Barnes as I do about Sochan...counting down the nanoseconds that he is not on the team anymore.

We used a top 10 pick and a veteran player with a championship at the 4...and we still don't have even a league average 4 :st-rollin:

most of his 3 pointers are now open due to the teams packing the paint to prevent Castle, Harper and Fox's drives. Him missing those is a huge liability. He is clearly not the only problem, for me Fox is becoming the main one with for his salary, but if he doesn't shoot at what's expected of him, i.e., better than 37-38%, that won't open the paint for our guards who cannot throw the ball in the ocean

Nah HB is not owed a starting spot and I would like to have him back in a reduced role next season on perhaps a two year deal. He's in an insane slump but the guy is still a good shooter with some size who could be a useful injury backup or guy to play when others are in foul trouble and he seems very well respected in the locker room. But priority #1 for this front office is definitely to land a starting PF who can shoot either at the deadline, in the draft, or in free agency.
 
I want this loser off the team. every notif I get here I hope it’s a trade or some injury that’s gonna force Mitch to play sochan or olynyk over him (a testament to how down bad we are at PF)

the only thing that sucks is Harrison Barnes and you riding his meat. The guy put up 2 points and 1 assist in 24 minutes while shooting 14% b-b-b-but pLuS/mInUs :st-lmao: :st-lmao: :st-lmao: :st-lmao:

Lindy Waters did more than Barnes in half the time. There's not one player in the main rotation who's worse than Harrison Barnes. You can't name one. He's the weakest link and needs to be replaced. The only idiot who doesn't understand this is you. Meanwhile you can hold this

Right? It wasn’t even as bad as Clyde Drexler for Houston or the old Blazers broadcasters.
As a Houston-based Spurs fan, I'll never forget watching Clyde Drexler saying during one Rockets broadcast that their beating their opponent that day was "like clubbing baby seals...heh heh heh...." and his partner Bill Worrell was just speechless.

Remember when OKC play-by-play guy got fired for saying "Westbrook is out of his cotton picking mind", yikes.

sure thing bro.. you have me convinced

Like I said, you can't name one player out of those 9 cause there is none. "But his plus minus was -1 " :st-lol:

I don't even want to trade Barnes, I just want him to move to the bench, so he can be the 10th man like he's supposed to.
 
Sean calls the game like a spurs fan who knows basketball. On the scale of homer broadcaster he isn’t even in the top 15 existing. Maybe not even top 20.

Lakers were pretty decent but haven’t watched their broadcasts in the whole, raptors are somewhat even handed but close to Elliott. Boston and Houston have got to be the worst.

Warriors are top 3 worst. Draymond could punch someone and they’ll make up a lie about how it was inadvertent or the opposing guy caused it, even while the replay is running.
 
I was forced to watch the OKC broadcast yesterday. They are the WORST.
 
accident that it’s coincided with our sub-500 record over the last 10 games.

I live in LA and sometimes watch Lakers broadcasts. They are very fair and complimentary of opposing teams.

I don't think we understand each other tbh.. when you talk about weakest link I read getting rid of him is the priority of the Spurs organization but here is the thing it is not. Spurs priority is to add shooting and to deal with Sochan headache for a start. Barnes is a serviceable role player never injured with a 3pts shooting that opponent needs to respect, he brings enough spacing for our guards and Victor to operate inside. We have 3 guys who can do that: Champ, Vassell and Barnes and we have seen opponents not respecting a lot Vassell 3 pts menace eventhough this year one cannot complain, as for Champ opponents are paying attention but it is quite recent. I don't recall a team just daring Barnes to get hot from 3s.

I have nothing against putting Barnes on the bench but Champ is already starting, Vassell is injured who are you going to use ? Harper ? Ingram ? DJG spacing that is already not good will get worst. The only option would be KJ who is shooting 41% from 3s this season but if you do that you penalize deeply the bench minutes production. I like KJ as a 6th man role.

Also you can laugh about + and - on a particular game... fine but Barnes on/off are consistently pretty good and it is not by chance looking at sample size.

Finally I don't get your "name one player..." you are comparing bananas with orange, cannot compare roles in a vaccuum. We have 3 guys capable of providing spacing Champ, Vassell and Barnes. This year Champ and Vassell are clearly better but was not the case last year besides we don't have enough of those guys, let the Spurs bring more then yes you may say he is the weakest link.. not the case this year even it is much better than last year.
 
Except when he calls a scrub "Mr. 100%" cursing him for weeks with no end in sight.. When Barnes get finally cut or traded that 1 is on Sean.. ;)
I never actually thought of that. I know you are likely joking, but Harrison does know of being called Mr. 100%, so I wonder if that is affecting his shooting in a very small way. Usually a player might not know what the commentators are saying, but in this case, he is well aware of it. I wonder if it's played a small part causing in him a psychological issue shooting the ball (I'm sure at first it's had nothing to do with it, he was just in slump, but the Mr. 100% thing may have caused him to not be able to break out of the slump).

when I say he's the weakest link I'm clearly talking about the rotation. Not no Sochan, Waters, Olynyk, Bryant, etc. He's the weakest part out of all of those 9 guys that we play when fully healthy. Which means his position is obviously the one we should upgrade and thus send him to the bench. And I think Barnes off the bench can be pretty valuable. His plus minus is worthless if he only scores 2 points and has 0 rebounds playing the 4 no matter how you slice it. You are in fact the one comparing apples to oranges bringing third stringers and G-Leaguers into the conversation, when they weren't even part of it.
 
He's kinda useless if his three ball isn't dropping although his advanced stats are still decent.
