Because Vaughn could dribble the ball past halfcourt against a decent defender?

Pop was resting him for the playoffs.

Here's a statistic for you:

2012-2013 regular season turnover percentage:

Tony Parker: 13.0%
Patrick Mills: 13.5%
Cory Joseph: 15.0%
Nando De Colo: 23.7%

Any questions?

Unlike De Colo though, Patty's always upbeat, and is always cheering for the success of his teammates. De Colo 's visibly depressed every time he loses his spot as the backup.

Arguing with the wrong person, tbh.. Charlie Sheen asked for the 3 FG% stats, and I posted them. I think Cory Joseph has proven he deserves the spot, and I've argued that point here, imo fwiw tbh.

Sorry, my bad.

But moping about your lack of playing time doesn't really do anything to help anyone; it certainly won't make Pop reconsider DC's minutes (or lack thereof), and it certainly doesn't help the team's chemistry. Remember Stephen Jackson? :lol

Also, De Colo, himself, is a specialist in the area of passing. He doesn't produce anything on the offensive end, aside from a few wide open jumpers, and his defense is pretty average. In fact, all three of our backup point guards are specialists. Patty's a scorer, De Colo's a passer and Joseph's an above average defender. De Colo has no real reason to feel frustrated about Joseph being put ahead of him on the depth chart.

Cory Joseph has proven himself at this point. His energy on defense has made him an asset. De Colo is capable of good passing and solid offensive play, but Cory's a better 2 way player right now, and in the playoffs that's what the spurs need from the bench.

Since you're into stats, look up Beno's playoff stats.

Nando can go grub on crawfish and get mani pedis with SJAX for all I care.

Beno 2.0

He sucked in Europe, never impressed me at all anytime I was able to watch the French NT, and was a scrub in the NBA this year. Waste of the Spurs time and, more importantly, a waste of a roster spot. Parker was injured for a substantial amount of time - DeColo had a chance to prove himself and he blew it. He can go fuck himself.

It isn't only a Joseph vs. De Colo issue. De Colo has been put in a suit while, Mills, a player that has been behind him in the rotation for month, is on the active roster. There is also Neal playing a lot while he truly sucks and an out of shape TMac being active.

I'm not saying these choices aren't the right ones. It's just that they aren't obvious and Pop should definitively spend a minute explaining to De Colo while he is inactive, even more that De Colo is known for his whining. That some basic coaching and I'm damn surprised Pop hasn't done that.

So you you admit really don't care about playoff performance at all.

OK, not a problem. Stop watching until the next regular season then, the rest of us care.

Nando De Colo @NandoDeColo 2min
San Antonio -> Memphis

40 career playoff 3 pt attempts is decent sample size.

He'd have more, but apparently playing Beno regular minutes doesn't = automatic playoff qualification.

Beno was a shitty-ass scrub who had the potential to be more, but he was lazy and never committed himself enough to ever do anything more than be a decent player on a shitty team or a weak player on a decent team. JV sucked, but at least he was fully committed to the team.

Could be that his whining caused him to be written off. I'll look for an offseason trade.

I can understand a person being upset about not getting playing time but you don't go crying about it to the media. You suck it up and work harder, it's the NBA not Europe. The best of the best( can I say there's no points for second place). Nando just shut up, work on your game, and get better.

Good point. IMO Pop probably just sees that CJ, Tmac, Mills, and Neal aren't afraid of the big moment and can be trusted not to back down if needed. Also, all 4 have bought into the team concept as far as what I've seen and read, even ballhog Neal. The coaches probably know better than we do that NDC hasn't quite gotten over himself yet.

I would at least until the season is over. No team needs this, especially after a Jack episode.
