I said the Spurs won the NBA Championship with TP and Beno. That the Spurs got 3.7 ppg and 1.0 apg from Beno during the playoffs and 5.9 ppg and 1.9 apg regular season. That Beno was a rookie who was learning the intricacies of the NBA game and it's physical style. That Beno was an excellent passer and playmaker, one of the best passers on the team, and that he knows the angles. He also gets the ball upcourt on the break via the pass as well as anyone does. He was still a rookie and yes he got caught in a buzzsaw with the Lindsey Hunter/Rasheed Wallace double teams but he will learn. The Spurs made the right adjustments to the special Pistons' pressure by letting Manu and Brent enter the offense.Quote:

Remember Beno played basically the entire 4th quarter and OT of the win in PHX against Steve Nash and played very well.
