Former Dunk Champ On The Block

A couple weeks ago in Smack we mentioned that we didn’t even realize Brent Barry was still in the NBA, let alone the subject of trade rumors. But at the time the Grizzlies, Thunder and Clippers were all mentioned as being interested in getting “Bones” from the Rockets. We asked this question: Would Barry even [...]

Brent Barry on the Trading Block?

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 09:00:58 -0500

According to the Houston Chronicle, Bones could soon be on the move: “The Rockets have been in talks with several teams about moving veteran guard Brent Barry, according to several individuals with knowledge of the discussions. The most serious talks have been with the Los Angeles Clippers, Memphis Grizzlies and Oklahoma City Thunder. Though nothing appears imminent, there is a good chance the 6-7 Barry could be traded to create roster space before the start of camp Oct. 28.” ...

Drew Barrymore was loaded, limber at the Lakers-Nuggets game

Tue, 26 May 2009 12:16:01 -0500

Last week, I posted a photo of Leo Dicaprio nearly getting taken out by an airborne Brent Barry. Well, I think the results may have been decidedly different if Barry decided to take on Drew Barrymore, who was armed with 17-inch heels and feeling flexible at the May 19th Lakers-Nuggets game at the Staples Center. Luckily, [...]

Was This The Worst Call In NBA History? (video)

Sun, 01 Jun 2008 15:23:16 -0500

I'm still boggled that Pierce got called for an OFFENSIVE FOUL on this? It just doesn't make any sense at all. Let me remind you that this play in the Spurs/Lakers series was a no call which later on the league said SHOULD HAVE BEEN A DEFENSIVE FOUL. So, I Believe that the offensive foul called on Pierce Is The Worst Call In NBA History!

Fixing The NBA's Image Problem

Wed, 28 May 2008 18:29:13 -0500

No, not that image problem. There are plenty of 60 year old white men worrying about that. I'm talking about something that's actually a serious problem for the NBA, the refs. We bitch about football refs, baseball umps, and hockey refs all the time. Right now MLB umpires are under fire for a slew of botched home run calls. But, do we ever think that the NFL, MLB, NCAA, or NHL referees/umps purposely tank games? Long before the Tim Donaghy fiasco broke, my old man refused to watch the NBA because he was convinced that all NBA games are fixed.

It was a good call!

Wed, 28 May 2008 10:59:29 -0500

The refs and the league want to see the game decided by the players, not a whistle. I know that, you know that, the players know that. Derek Fisher did technically foul Brent Barry, but as long as we all know the league's stance and what to expect, it's a perfectly level, fair playing field. Get over it.

Derek Fisher and Lakers Luck Out Big Time!

Wed, 28 May 2008 00:52:41 -0500

NBA Playoff Rant from the Muffin: The Los Angeles Lakers just won game 4 of the Western Conference Finals on a veeery controversial call. Down by two with a few seconds to go Brent Barry of the Spurs received the inbounds pass and Derek Fisher jumped in the air and CLEARLY bumped Barry before he went up for the shot. I know refs don't want to influence the end of the game with a bad call, but last time I checked you can't run and jump into somebody. It would have been one thing if ...
