Is Barnes the American Trainwreck?

If Pietrus is the French trainwreck, then Barnes has to be the American trainwreck. Also, if Bukie is good story #1 and CJ is good story #2, then Barnes must be "good story" #0.

Pietrus is not the French trainwreck, His nick name is 'Air France'.

I like to call him the French Allstar

Not as catchy.

I also heard Euro or French Jordan, but that was a long time ago. LF named him Trainwreck and it's kind of stuck.

Cro works way harder on D than Troy. And when did Troy ever box someone out?

I'm just bitter that BW is through for the year and Biedrins will be getting 20-24 minutes per game through the playoffs...Cro's got a great basketball mind..It's really not about him..I wish he was our coach

Barnes is not perfect but I like his game a lot better than Pietrus'.

Last year I was calling him BarnLeavy and I caught heat from Sleepy over that one.

I stuck with it and we rode into the playoffs and upset the Mavs.

I'm going back to barnleavy to light a fire under his ass and get him playing back to the playoff run level.

He's been OK this year really. He does way more good things than Peteleavy.

Him and AlLeavey need to get their s :censored:

together.

Al will always be up and down. He's a streak shooter, so that's what defines a streak. Being on and off.

It was nice to see him drive the lane and dunk with authority. Need to see more of that.

I just wish that when his shot is off, he would focus on being a better rebounder. He could crash more and the team will benefit even if his shot isn't falling.

His defense needs to get back to where it was earlier this year also. He's getting run around lately by no name scrubs. He's got to pick it up.

If he wants to be a boxer he needs to toughen up a bit and bang with the bigs more.

I'd be bitter too, but for now I'm hoping that Nellie is waking up. I guess we'll see soon enough. If Brandan gets DNP's while Beans is out, Ill be upset too.

I prefer Barntrus. I thought that one was pretty good.

I think it's time to bring back the NO-HAWK so he can summon Playoff mode Barnes from last season

Barnes is 100% American Badass :bowdown:

Souvlaki · Post #17 » by **Souvlaki** » Thu Feb 28, 2008 6:00 pm

Badass or dumbass? I don't think cheap shot flagrants at the end of games make him a badass.

It's funny this thread popped up because during the Sonics game I started calling him train wreck. That was before he went 0-3 in like 2 seconds.

who else would play matt barnes? he's not doing anything that he did well last year. he made his money this year & he's not earning it. where does he get another chance to catch lightning in a bottle?

how many of you guys have lost your most beloved parent while
in your 20's??

someone tells him to whack somebody once in a while, in hopes of
snapping him out of his funk---but it doesn't work.

i lost my mother 10 years ago, at age 49, 3 weeks after attending the
sterling men's weekend in oakland(ostensibly one of the most powerful workshops ever that can elicit personal transformation)

the workshop had me very pumped up until her passing, and after that,
the wind fled out of my sails... my support group, w/ sponsor etc. dropped me like a kryptonite cosmetic nut.

who can say what's best for matt now?
maybe he needs time off in cancun... or maybe playing tight end for the
raiders or 49er's for a couple of years would help?
how about a skin transplant so's he can get some more tattoo's? jk/jk/jk

Souvlaki · Post #20 » by **Souvlaki** » Thu Feb 28, 2008 10:15 pm

If he needs time off because he's grieving about his mother, then by all means he should take it and stop hurting the team.

You won't get me to shed a tear that he has prioritized that playing for a huge sum of money next season is more important. Life is such a bitch sometimes. There are millions of people that would kill to be in his position.
