Beno is the !

[Slo spurs fan]

Don't you know that, Beno is a defensive wizard?

He was doing it on purpose.....

Get out of timvp´s ass.

Beno looked pretty good. Defensively, he created a couple of TOs knocking the ball loose. He doesn't always get credit for the steal when he does it but, like Manu, he creates the loose ball and someone else is the benefactor of the steal. Beno was okay defensively. I don't have a problem with anyone driving baseline on Beno, or on any player in the Spurs system. If there is baseline help the system has worked, because the ball has been sent to the edge and away from the middle. If Beno allows his man to get into the middle, then he's not doing a good job. I didn't see too much of that last night or the Houston game.

The Hornets did not apply any half-court pressure last night. That would have been a nice test for Beno, with 2 quick lead guards out there. Beno did okay though. On offense, his shooting was outstanding. The catch-and-shoot 3-pointer from the corner was great and the fast breaks with Brent Barry left no need for dribbling.

Beno has his flaws. He hasn't gotten into anyone's head defensively yet. Therefore, certain players will shoot on him with max confidence.

beno also makes love to pressure

[exstatic]

Oh, so its Pop's fault now that Beno, a point guard, can't handle pressure.

Um, I never said that, just that he handled the situation badly. You need to brush up on your reading comprehension.

Beno had been effective to that point in the playoffs. Pop could have implemented the Hunter Rules (no one but Tony brings the ball up against Hunter: Manu and Barry were so constrained) with Beno instead of burying him on the bench.

[T Park]

He handled it fine.

Should he have initiated the Marcus Camby rule as well, cause Marcus Camby stripped him at half court in the playoffs too.

At this point I'd like to give Dish Network a big fat crotch grab and middle finger.

Why in the down't I get FSN, and why in the are the Spurs games blacked out on League pass? Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak. =(

A better responce and a more valid question would be: Why the did you not know their programming before you "Dished" out your dough?

Beno is a sg.

[Solid D]

Beno is a sg.

I disagree. He can play either guard spot, sg or lead guard. He has excellent playmaking skills and instincts. When Tony and Beno are on the floor at the same time, Pop uses them both to enter the offense.

Your ass.

Dude can't handle the press.

"He's a natural point guard, really understands the position," Popovich said. "He's got a great pace about himself: when to speed up, speed down. He's a grade-A passer: hits people on time."

[SequSpur]

Pop is also the one that said we were winning until I put Beno in and all broke loose.

STFU.

Beno can't dribble.

[Solid D]

Actually, Pop said after game 3 of the Finals last year "we tried to give Tony Parker a rest for one minute and the dam burst from that point on".

Beno still has to be a little stronger with the ball but he can dribble just fine and he's improved since last year's playoffs.

Parker isn't going to lose his job to anyone because he has played the best of all the Spurs this season. Beno is a lead guard and not just a "sg".

As Pop has said, "he's sort of a poor man's John Stockton".

As Sean Elliott said on the broadcast just last night, and I quote "that's why the Spurs can afford to rest Tony Parker when he's playing well because Beno Udrih has been phenomenal. Pop you know, now has the confidence where he can throw him out there at the end of quarters and he can rely on him taking care of the basketball and not turning it over and making big shots and big plays."

I think you know by now that I don't brake for "STFU".

I still think you are funny, though.

[SequSpur]

So as usual, you just gave me the Pop's spouse version to what I already said.

Thanks.

[TDMVPDPOY]

beno is a poor johnstocton on stats due to his limit pt, but benos defense > stocton, beno has a combonation of stocton/hornececk/price in his game

Actually, I corrected you like you needed to be, on all points.

[Obstructed_View]

Beno causes Manu to turn the ball over and causes Duncan to forget how to shoot. He sucks and should be trampled to death by ugly cheerleaders.

Well, season games are different than the playoffs... so we'll see whose right then...

I am guessing NVE takes over and Beno is back on the Coyote Crew again.

Give Pop a goodnight kiss for me.

as long as I'm one of the ugly cheerleaders.

But seriously. Keep on talking. I just had to say it.

Good one.

I do think Beno merits grief about his attire and I still think he looks like John Boy.

[angel_luv]

Aww... Beno Boy.
