Question

[Walton Buys Off Me]

I know this is Gregg Popovich we're dealing with but is there a logical reason why Brent Barry can't be used as our backup point guard?

Beno Udrih is a NBA player to one person- Gregg Popovich. To everyone else with a positive IQ and an average understanding of the game of basketball, he's a waterboy at best.

Meanwhile Barry sits collecting dust while Udrih is allowed to shoot 30% and play with about as much passion and energy as Terry Schiavo (or Tim Duncan lately).

Barry is taller than Udrih, faster than Udrih, tougher than Udrih, a better shooter than Udrih, takes better control of the ball than Udrih and pushes the tempo better than Udrih.

Yet Pop just refuses to even try it........

Don't get it.

Beno is a great player and Pop has won three championships. You don't win championships in January.

Beno is a great player?!

At What? Connect-Four?

[ChumpDumper]

Dallas will beat us anyway so who cares?

[Dex]

I think it has something to do with the fact that at his ripe age, Barry can't gaurd the faster, tougher point gaurds in this league. Both he and Pop have stated such.

[Bob Lanier]

Neither can Chauncey Billups. Or Jason Williams. Or Steve Nash.

Or, more to the point, Beno Udrih.

And Beno can?

[Ocotillo]

LOL simultaneous questioning.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

And Beno can? He got lit up by Anthony Johnson.

[Que Gee]

thats been my question for two seasons now...Pop uses Barry as his backup PG in games 6 and 7 of the 2005 finals...and since....?!

[phxspurfan]

and beno can?

So Pop puts him on faster, tougher small forwards that go off on us all the time?

I'd rather have Barry playing the point and then a zone defense. I think that would work.

[Kermit]

and beno can?

[Extra Stout]

Barry is too slow to guard shooting guards. I don't even want to see what would happen if he had to guard point guards full-time.

Beno > Barry at defending point guards ... by far.

[Jobbs]

Barry is a natural 2. He can run with the ball yes, but he's more effective at the 2. Beno is just out there to setup plays.

[ChumpDumper]

I thought Beno was being traded to the Knicks and Kori was being coy about it.

[velik_m]

And Beno can?

This would make a great T-shirt.

Beno disappoints me, thats all I'm gonna say.....


and beno can????

[Solid D]

timvp gets it regarding defending PGs. I must admit though, Beno has been in a death spiral, of late.

Its a "given" he's not going to be able to guard some of the smaller point guards...but he had to do the same thing in Seattle just two years ago. Really, two seasons isn't that long.

I don't think Tony or Beno has needed "shut down" any point guards this year...nor have they.

beno...i can't really defend. just when you think he can't get any worse...he does.

[bigdog]

when brent first came to SA,we used him at backup PG alot,and didnt think he did a completely horrible job,i mean, we can use him at that position,but it would be the best move. i would give Vaughn alot mroe minutes,and trade beno,ive said it all along,and im tired of the way beno plays.im sure some other team can use him in some way.

[SequSpur]

Beno just plain sucks.
