and Beno is dead.Players are born in the playoffs
Didn't games 3, 4, and 2 in this series teach you that??
Good god his D on Harris in the 3rd quarter of game 2 was PUTRID!

about the same as nick's d was against terry in the 1st half. I think the spurs need to give beno just a shot in the 1st half, if he doesn't deliver then back he goes.
In Game 4 Nick was the 0-8 run twice. His and-1s he gave up to Terry in game 4 killed us.
I'd go with the vet over the youngster. No need to see another 25-1 run or whatever that the Pistons dropped on the Spurs in last year's Finals.
that's the problem with Beno, he's a freakin risk. However, maybe a risk worth taking very early.
Spurs would've had not only a lead, but a nice lead going into halftime had Beno not clenched up and became Lindsey Hunter's .No need to see another 25-1 run or whatever that the Pistons dropped on the Spurs in last year's Finals.
Of course, Kevin martin and Bibby made him his in the last round.
Yeah go ahead and run him out there![]()
Not on the road in a game 6, down 3-2that's the problem with Beno, he's a freakin risk. However, maybe a risk worth taking very early.
No way no how not even close.
He won't be worse than Nick. Dallas doesn't apply any pressure.
With Pop's small ball religion he doesn't have to. There is plenty of guards to bring up the ball. Afterward, he can assist. And you know, he really CAN assist.
Thread was not started by Slovenian, AFAIK I am the only Slovenian poster in this thread, so: what is your point?
Are you smoking something or are you just dumb? Your call.
Yeah ask the Mavericks how in game 2 his "assists" helped them out, with his horrible shot selection and horrible defense.And you know, he really CAN assist.
Van Exel is +1 in the playoffs in plus/minus. That's pretty damn good considering he's out there when Tony's getting his rest. If he can just hold the score even, he's doing his job.
And then hopefully one day he hits a couple shots.
if spurs get past mavs, Beno will get his chance to prove his worth against suns
Yeah, that'd make more sense. Nash versus Beno is a decent matchup.
Beno versus Harris or Terry is just asking for trouble.
Beno can't even bring the ball past halfcourt. He would probably be like Cassel last night, grinning ear to ear and then- oopsie! 8 second violation.
And yes, NVE stepped up in crunch time and made some great defensive rotations. I don't think Beno could have done that. And since the difference in the game was only 1 pt, putting Beno in to flounder for even a minute could have dire consequences. Stick with Nick.
Spurs will not pass Mavs with small ball.
its dumb ass statements like this that make Pop keep going to old ass nve.
By the way I am so glad I didnt sell my game 5 tickets to a greedy ass mavs fan and drove all the way from RR to see the Spurs win. I still got the adrenalin from tonights game...and I had to sit next to lame ass mavs fans again tonight.
but I really hate the way nve kills the momentum that the Spurs build up during the game. where are all the nve supporters? Timvp and Kori?
if the Spurs want to win in dallas play anyone other than nve and we will win
oh yea and you mouse you transves e...not that theres anything wrong with that...but you are the ulimate trader mouse
and last but not least I'm sorry I put my new job ahead of the Spurs...game 2 against dallas is the only home playoff game I missed this playoff season
Just asking, have you ever play basketball?
He?

On Playstation, maybe.
everyone ing relax about playing small ball, i'm sure pop knows what he's doing considering his career as a successful coach...i agree Beno should be given some chance, but c'mon Van Exel has more experience which is why he is second in rotation. Beno would probably provided the same amount of defense, but will definitely light it up better on offense...he's that type a player who will have a quiet 10-15 points if given an opportunity...but we'll see...
T Parks opinions are meaningless, because he is a hater. He will bend backwards to find something good in an average or even bad game played by NVE and he will always try find something bad in a good or solid game played by the player he hates. He's objectivity went down the drain long, long time ago.
i play ball 3 times a week and i say FREE BENO
seriously......
i am a huge fan of Beno but it could be too much for him to handle the pressure now (he hasnt played-pop's fault)
but i am sure he can start playing all Nick's minutes against the suns if Spurs survive
as for Nick-i am damn sorry he came to the Spurs; if Beno would be playing their combined minutes he could be damn useful now!
i hope Beno gets traded because i think he is a great player and will never develop playing behind parker or even an aging veteran that should already retire (no hate vor VanX; but he is really awful)
Well, now I see why he hates Beno so much.
Does anyone know the joke about "cat father" and "cat-kid" going to f... on a cold winter evening?
Kibic and ata, with your personal attacks you show no class. Grow up boys!
