Because Pop is a who prefers chodes like NVE who ruin chemistry, take bad shots, turnovers, and no defense.
I simply cannot understand why he is playing. He's slow as sheeit, doesn't play D, I can't see how he contributes.
Why not play Barry or Beno, or both, behind TP?

The same reasons he's been ahead of him the whole season. Experience, "consistence", blah blah blah. But especially the play-off experience.
Eh, Van Exel's strong point is NOT turning the ball over. This is why Pop got him in the offseas. Do you remember when we couldn't even bring the ball up against Detroit? That's why we got him, and Pop doesn't want him to get rusty meanwhile.
becuase NVE didn't tell pop he couldn't play
I agree...I do feel that NVE will have his moments in these playoffs, but all he should be doing is shooting when hot. Not trying to break down the defense and creating his own shot. Beno is a better option for backup PG with NVE coming in as a small 2 for 3's.
NVE's strong point is dribbling the shot clock out so the Spurs have to jack up a horribloe shot or better yet have the shot clock expire. Don't tell TimVP or T Park this. They're still watching tapes of NVE when he played for the Mavs and haven't figured out he sucks yet.
At this point, NVE's strong point is putting on the uniform without injuring himself further. He is D-U-N done. I really don't expect Pop to play him once we're in the latter rounds. He'll figure it out eventually. We're not gonna have a 10 man rotation forever.
He is the Spurs' Kirk Hinrich, only Hinrich makes more shots.
Exactly. Ever since Beno said he couldn't play because of that ankle tweak or whatever it was, Pop hasn't played him meaningful minutes since then.
The dude has had a great career, I say let him feel like he got to contribute to a championship on the way out. Besides Beno hasn't been able to buy a bucket this post season yet, Nick spreads the floor better, and will heat up at least once each series.
That sucks.
I remember Beno's gaffe last year, but he's a yr older and a mucher better player now. He should be playing.
Pop is mostly coaching well, but he has a blind spot on this.
Can't agree that u play him just so he can contribute to a championship." It's going to be nasty to the end, no time for sentiment this yr.
Because the Spurs have bigger goals like winning a series rather than playing ty players.
Onto the next round!
If Beno wouldn't have choked so badly in the end of the Houston game (last game of the season) they might have risked using him again. But since that was a no pressure game and he again folded in crunch time, I guess they think it's not worth the risk.
Van Exel helped seal game 1.
Guess you ers have short memories.
Spurs only had a 6 or 8 point lead when he came in and bombed the out of the Kings.
He prob wont play much against Dallas due to matchups, but he may.
If he does, he will make that _Allas d pay.
NVE can dribble agaist presure D. Beno cannot. As long as Nick doesn't shoot the ball I'm fine with him being on the floor as long as there are other offensive producers out there for him to pass too. Sure he might have to take the occational wide open shot to keep the D honest. But I don't want to see him chucking up any runners and especialy none of those transition 3's.
tim told pop to not play beno, cose tim likes his seat warmed-up by beno
beno is the automatic victory cigar
Well now that Nick has stunk it up too maybe it's time to give Beno another shot or just go with a Barry, Manu backup solution. Or just keep giving Nick his pass to suck and his 49 seconds to stink as a place holder in the first half and start to blow 20 point leads in the second until you bring back a crippled Parker.
T Park keep living on that game one memory where even a blind Spur was stroking it and Spurs were on the way to a blowout. Looks like that might be your excuse for NVE for the rest of the playoffs
In fact Nick can even dribble the ball, going nowhere until the shot clock runs out. That's how talented he is.
I'm emailing Pop ASAP to check with you experts before doing anything with NVE and Beno.
if beno doesnt (or deserver) play then Van Exel should sit also and minutes should be given to Barry
NVE doesnt deserver to play 1 minute imo
he WAS a good play; he isnt any more
look at his first roundn series stats and stop refering to 1 game only
NBA Playoffs
REBOUNDS PER GAME
G GS MPG FGM-A FG% 3PM-A 3P% FTM-A FT% OFF DEF RPG APG SPG BPG TO PF PPG
First Round
5 0 12.4 3-20 .150 3-8 .375 9-9 1.000 .2 1.2 1.4 1.6 .40 .20 .80 1.60 3.6
---------------------------
he is shooting 3/20 until now and that is 15%
he simply doesnt deserve to be out there
im not a hater and i like him as a person (looks funny to me) but from a basketball point of view he doesnt bring anything to the table
i would live with Udrih making 1 turnover more per game and making everything else way better than NVE
im still mad he screwed up there
after that great streak he had before his injury
