Most of you did, or just switched your team to the Warriors. :toastNot the real fans :toast

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

Beno, read my sig you bastard...

[Gerryatrics]

Why? He made some key baskets to get us back into the game.

How many layups did the Kings get when Bonner WASN'T on the floor? A LOT.

If anything. parker sucks.

How many layups did Artest get when he was on the floor?

[angel_luv]

Bravissimo Beno! :toast

[Matches Malone]

I love Spurs' garbage time....not
See you soon, people.
It's been lovely to waste my first posting on this crappy demostration. No D, no luck, too much brawl, and not brain at all.

Got damn. Sequ's been right twice this week.

First Parker, now this.

In other news, air traffic nationwide has been delayed as there has been countless reports of airborne swine.

[BeerIsGood!]

I hope your life turns to a personal hell Beno.

[milkyway21]

If anything. parker sucks.other threads already starting to blame Duncan. But I agree with you. TP didn't come up to what's expected of him.

why this always happens almost everytime after a player gets a recognition such as the "player of the week" or something? :lol

[sa_kid20]

Wow Beno just got a standing ovation :downspin:

:lol :lol :lol

[jman3000]

Udoka With The Monster Slam To End The Game!!!!

OMGZ

[Walter Craparita]

This game proves we need Horry's big defensive playmaking back for the clutch...

What a bunch of worthless defense from EVERY big man under the basket tonight.

[hsxvvd]

There were signs of this yesterday against Seattle, played awful, but got the W. Pushing it to be able to do 2 nights in a row.

[duncan228]

Pop has lots to work with now.
That's a good thing.

A back-to-back loss in November isn't the end of the world.
They're not a division rival.
Learn from it and move on.
Beno will tell his grandkids about it.

[SRJ]

Congratulations to Beno Udrih and Mikki Moore for winning the NBA Championship tonight.

[telecomguy]

Except that if Pop were the coach of the Kings he would have benched Beno when Darius stole the ball from him. Hard to have too much energy from the bench.

I have to say that when Pop benched Beno in the 2006 playoffs in favor of VAn Excel and STAYED With VAn Excel game after game when it was clear to anyone with one eyeball that Excel was finished, that really must have killed any confidence Beno had and frustrated him to a point where he became very negative. I mean how many shitty games & SERIES did Parker have in his first 3 to 4 years in the league (and he still has clunkers like tonight even now), yet Pop never benched Parker. With young players, you need to play them even if they are making some mistakes and i just feel that Pop didn't manage Beno properly. I understand that Beno didn't respond properly but then it's possible that Parker would also have sulked and turned negative, and lose all his confidence if he was benched for prolonged period of time or entire playoff series like Beno was.

Not defending Beno for his poor play in the past few years but i always thought he had talent and unfortunately it didn't work out in San Antonio. because by the time he left, he was a broken young man.

[ChumpDumper]

:wakeup I can't imagine what's going on in Pupu vik head right now.... not even to mention Tiny Porker
:lol :lol :lolNot much. It's not that important.

[angel_luv]

WTF?!!

Angel change your team


I wanted Beno to have an awesome game but for the Spurs to win.

[Walter Craparita]

Tony didn't show up...and neither did Manu...both of them played like shit. I wouldn't care so much except Beno is such a douche bag!


Manu showed up.

This is why he is > parker. Parker scores....Manu does it all. Even if he is not scoring he is making something happen on defense.

[SRJ]

and neither did Manu...both of them played like shit.

Manu showed up - he just couldn't hit the ocean if he was standing on the beach.

[ChumpDumper]

Not defending Beno for his poor play in the past few years but i always thought he had talent and unfortunately it didn't work out in San Antonio. because by the time he left, he was a broken young man.Oh boo fuckng hoo.

He sucked here.

Period.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I cannot believe Tony Parker did not shut down that stinky pussy Beno. Timvp will not be pleased.

[E20]

Manu showed up.
UGh.............. :rolleyes

[Warlord23]

Stat of the night:

Beno: 27 pts; Duncan + Parker: 27 pts
Beno: 9 FTA; Duncan + Parker: 8 FTA

:lmao

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

now theyre talkin bout beno on fsn

[atxrocker]

Yes, most of you are bandwagon frontrunning twats :toast


what a poor fucking sport.

[kingsfan]

Yes, most of you are bandwagon frontrunning twats :toastIf we're still around after last season we're far from bandwagon.
Beno for MVP :spin

[hsxvvd]

Allowing Beno to go for 27 points, TP = Player of the WEAK!

[E20]

Beno is mentally weak to hang with the Pop era Spurs, that's why he failed in San Antonio, because he didn't like getting yelled at. Beno can fuck around with Theus's so called 'strict' philosphy and not get reprimanded at all.

[Que Gee]

I think its hilarious that so many people are "surprised" by Beno tonight. I'm not going to say I thought he was going to score his career high, but give me a break people, its well known that Beno was (is) a good ball player. More than a few people felt he was a better pure PG than Tony.

NVE year fucked him up, and the Spurs. End of story. I didn't like Darius Washington originally, but I think he could be pretty good and decent replacement. Problem his, he a shoot first PG, and they already have that.

[slayermin]

Shakespeare would have been proud of Beno Udrih tonight.

[ChumpDumper]

If we're still around after last season we're far from bandwagon.Ok, you're just a twat.

[KFRebel]

A setback for our Derrick Rose mission. Screw you guys I'm going home!

[ChumpDumper]

NVE year fucked him upBeno fucked up the NVE year. Get it straight.

[SpursFanFirst]

Man alive...I really thought Bibby was back, so 15+ vBookie seemed like a good pick.
:depressed at least I still have that Pittsburgh vBookie to count on. I hope.

[telecomguy]

I cannot believe Tony Parker did not shut down that stinky pussy Beno. Timvp will not be pleased.

Not only that, but Beno mostly shut down Tony. Kory I thought Tony could penetrate at WILL against any team and any defender....well, perhaps everyone except Beno, the all-star defender that bEno is....i am pissed but that was just bad basketball from spurs. No gameplan, no poise, just lot of running around out of control. Guess we were due for a bad game.

[Walter Craparita]

Seems like Elson could have helped out under the basket early on in the game if given the PT.

[BeerIsGood!]

I've never been more disappointed in Parker. He had a chance to dominate against the worst defensive PG not named Nash, and he let him off the hook. I never thought the Spurs would let Beno go off like that, show some fucking pride, at least enough pride to beat down the fool who never showed up to play while on your team and talked shit about you behind your back overseas. After all that shit he said this summer and the broken finger bullshit I don't understand not playing this one with playoff intensity and going balls out to fuck that bitch up. Sometimes the Spurs are too nice.

[Que Gee]

I have to say that when Pop benched Beno in the 2006 playoffs in favor of VAn Excel and STAYED With VAn Excel game after game when it was clear to anyone with one eyeball that Excel was finished, that really must have killed any confidence Beno had and frustrated him to a point where he became very negative.

Not so much the playoffs....but the whole season.

[milkyway21]

Not the real fans :toast

hey congrats.

I promise the Spurs will toast your team the next time we meet. Warn Beno that 27 pts he got against against us tonight will be his highest scoring stat against this team in the next 10 yrs.... it will never happen again.

:lmao :smokin

I'm with ya..

I know Pup is a great coach but seriously, he does some weird things, oyu guys have tha oldy Finley as a starter and Ginoblili on the bench??? Tiny Parker is not a must have player but Pup is freaging inlove with him.. that is not even willing to give some relevant minutes to any back up PG. :rolleyes

[angel_luv]

Good night all- for real this time. :)

[kingsfan]

Wizs beat Mavs, Kings beat Spurs, this is a good night. :smokin

[Que Gee]

Beno fucked up the NVE year. Get it straight.

LOL...ya. He totally fucked that whole season up by not playing.

[Xylus]

Warriors are about to beat the Suns.

Spurs, Suns, and Mavs all lose on the same night... Crazy.

[Texas_Ranger]

Now that Beno outplayed Parker, he will outplay Baron Davis on Wednesday.

[DAINTX]

You can slam Beno all you want...believe me, I cussed the guy's work ethic constantly when he was here. But, he's starting to convince me that he can play solid NBA ball in the right environment. I mean, he only been in the Kings system for a few weeks and he's looking pretty damn good. When he gets familiar with their system and his teammates, he just might be a tough out. He may not be a Spurs kind of player....but he threw up, what? 27 points against that terrible Spurs defense? He doesn't look like a scrub, is all I'm saying.

[ploto]

Guess head-to-head Beno is still better than Tony. :rollin

Not only the points but a block on Finley, a steal of a classic Manu pass, and drawing the foul on Tim. :lol

That was the aggressive, confident Beno that I have missed. I hope he can keep it up.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Beno Udrih is an abortion of an NBA player.

A sloth, purse-toting abortion.

[ChumpDumper]

LOL...ya. He totally fucked that whole season up by not playing.He played. He sucked. He was beat out by a man with no knees.

[SRJ]

I'm the biggest Manu fan..but we need him to score more than 9 points against the Kings so no he didn't show up! 3-12 isn't a Manu game!

Do you know what showing up means?

You can still show up while shooting like shit, as Manu did tonight.

Manu was disruptive, getting hands on loose balls, diving on the floor, hitting open teammates under the basket - he just couldn't shoot. The effort was there.

Tony, on the other hand...

[telecomguy]

Now that Beno outplayed Parker, he will outplay Baron Davis on Wednesday.

I really don't understand why they didn't go into duncan more tonight. I mean, TD has always dominated Miller and Moore isn't going to stop him. Instead we jack up jumpers after jumpers.....Parker has to understand mismatches and get the ball to the right teammates, especially when neither he nor Gino could hit anything. TAKE what the defence gives you...and not force things.

good night.

[SRJ]

Guess head-to-head Beno is still better than Tony.

:lol Now that was funny!

[Walter Craparita]

WTF was up with those Bricks Finley threw up early on. 1-2 okay, but 3+ :drunk

Lucky for him he hit clutch 3s at the end. :

[Walter Craparita]

UGh.............. :rolleyes

Seriously man. Manu didn't score 20 but he had great passes to Oberto and showed up on defense at the end.

What does Parker do when he doesn't score? Becomes invisible.

Manu > Parker

[ploto]

Where are the people who 3 weeks ago said that Beno did not even belong in the NBA? Where are the people who said he would never play in the NBA again after Minnesota cut him? Where are the people who swore no team wanted him?

[slayermin]

I don't recall reading that. I think most people were surprised Minnesota let him go.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I missed the game but from the stats this looks like the game we've had coming a while - poor D and no good shooting to cover it up.

Heed this as a wake-up call Spurs - you cannot rely on offence to win. Get back to destroying teams with your D.

[ShoogarBear]

Jesus christ now fuckers in houston are even experts on the Spurs now

I'm not really disappointed for TP not showing tonight. I'd still take TP over Beno.

But I'd like to ask Pops why he chose Vaughn > Beno?

head-scratcher! :lol

[ChumpDumper]

Vaughn sucks. Period.

[SRJ]

Where are they? I don't know where they are and I wasn't one of them, but I imagine that they're saying that one great game (Willie Burton) - or even a few (Flip Murray) doesn't mean much.

[loveforthegame]

Well, that sucked. I left the game with about 5 minutes left in the 4th.

The Spurs managed to cut the lead to 7-8 and I thought they'd get the come back but they let the Kings do what they did all night again.

Udrih wanted this game and it showed. I don't ever remember him playing that well for the Spurs. It really hurt when Parker was having a shit game.

Ginobli's stats look better than he played. He never looked into it offensively but he had some sweet passes to Oberto. It's going to be a long night when Ginobli and Parker struggle scoring and the zone takes Duncan out of the game.

Bowen hit a couple nice shots and really pestered Martin all night long. I'm rather surprised he didn't play more minutes.

Finley continues to struggle shooting but it was funny listening to those around me when he hit those 3's. I didn't see it but the radio guy was talking about him hanging out in the Kings huddle. It wasn't a timeout but when the clock was out. He got a kick out of that.

The zone really messed with the Spurs. It hurt Duncan the most because he was abusing whoever inside.

I thought Udoka, Bonner, and Washington had some nice plays and brought hustle and energy when no one else was. Bonner still looks clueless on defense though. He missed so much that I wanted to pull my hair out.

Oberto is fun to watch around the basket. How do people lose him around there? He gets so many easy baskets it's a crime.

Besides Udrih, it was Moore and Miller that hurt the Spurs. Miller with open jumpers and nice passing and Moore was cutting to the basket and threw down some dunks.

I'm not too upset with the loss. Back-to-back night and the Spurs were bound to lay an egg sooner or later.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

Where are they? I don't know where they are and I wasn't one of them, but I imagine that they're saying that one great game (Willie Burton) - or even a few (Flip Murray) doesn't mean much.
yeah,beno sucks...

[DAINTX]

I don't recall reading that. I think most people were surprised Minnesota let him go.

I distinctly remember a long thread of Beno bashing in which several people said he sucked bad as a player and could never play big minutes at the NBA level. (Shoot, I might've even said something that could be interpreted as "Beno bashing" :oops.). But, I have to admit the guy is showing me up at this point. He sure is.

[milkyway21]

Simple. Vaughn is not lazy.that lazy thing came out after Beno was traded. I never heard Pop talked about him being lazy while he was here.

well, I'm just weary PGs are hard to come by. And we had him here for so long, learned the system then we let him go and chose an aging one instead.

You think Vaughn is capable of delivering what TP can if any injury(knock on wood), happens to TP?

okay I think you'll just answer there's Manu or Brent. No need to answer :D

[SRJ]

that lazy thing came out after Beno was traded. I never heard Pop talked about him being lazy while he was here.

That lazy thing never officially came out. It was self-evident to anyone closely observing the situation. The Spurs organization doesn't trash players publicly.

[Harry Callahan]

So Beno got motivated for the first time in approximately 175 NBA games. What a gutless jerk.

Just remember Sacramento, you can't trust this guy. He will tease you a little bit like tonight and then quit on you when the going gets tough and the pressure to perform increases. Keep in mind he is now on a one year contract and may have finally realized his NBA career was hanging in the balance.

With Mike Bibby coming back soon, Beno will actually exert himself for the next 10-15 games to showcase himself before heading back to the bench. If a team provides Beno with a mult-year contract for good money, that team will be sorry. He will catch a ride on the gravy train as soon as his signature on a new contract dries.

This little "performance" tonight proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that this turd stole $4-5 Million from the Spurs (and the fans who pay for tickets).

Yup, 'ol Beno really showed up mean old coach Pop. He really punished that bad old coach who is guilty of doing his job and realizing last year he had to get a more effective alternative at the backup PG spot.

A heartless, lazy player who quits on a champoinship caliber team is simply not worth the trouble.

[ChumpDumper]

You can't win them all, no biggie :toast

[J.T.]

Spurs must have karma working on their side if they blow a game that they conceivably would have lost anyway since it was the seventh game they played in five days, and the Suns and Mavericks lose on the same night too. :smokin

Im sure they know that.

Im sure Pop will preach that in practice tommarow.


Seriously.

November. game 15. 7th game in 5 nights.


Defending champions. Can anyone cut em a bit o slack?

[T Park]

But I'd like to ask Pops why he chose Vaughn > Beno?


Simple.

Cause Vaugh hustles, plays defense, and takes care of the basketball.

He also gives 110% in the time out on the court.

Unlike captain fuckoff.

[milkyway21]

:lol

well, I guess Capt.Beno did score 27 on us now we' are already over-rating him huh?
--------------------

shocks!

I opened a local news site and as I've predicted the sports headlines for today:

Udrih fires 27 vs former team, leads Kings over Spurs
11/27/2007 | 02:59 PM :oops

[T Park]

good for him.

Hes suckered another fan base.

Seriously.

Slack is for suckers like Beno!

Seriously, no big deal with this game, many are just pissed (myself included) that the Spurs didn't put the smack down on Beno for being the waste of space he was for 3 years.

I wonder if Pop, knowing how the game turned out anyway, would practically sit TD and TP and give Washington, Udoka, Elson, Bonner, Barry, and Vaughn (along with limited minutes from Manu) bigger minutes and let them fight this game out? That would have been interesting to see since apparently Parker and Duncan were gassed from the get-go.

[WalterBenitez]

Fire POP!

[SLOMO HATER]

I am so glad that BENO kicked your Texas asses out of space and showed you and so called @Slomo who was the best point guard in your team for the past three years! :toast
