    In the transition offense, the PG usually runs the middle of the floor or gets to the middle as soon as possible. In defending opposing quick PGs, it helps to have someone like a Tony or Jacque or Beno to defend them. Brent has a difficult enough time staying in front of wing players.
    Yeah Brent said the other night in post game that he doesn't have his legs yet, in reference to some of the things that are necessary from the point position. He also repeatedly said, "I won't be able to play it like Tony" as if anyone was expecting him to be that fast

    Why are the spurs wanting Barry to play PG again? Is it because lack of faith in Beno? I guess that makes sense, even though Barry isn't exactly a point guard.

    don't you have to go cut yourself and cry about dead birds, and stuff like that?

    Spurs coach Gregg Popovich expressed his frustration over Udrih's absence early in training camp by calling him the team's "fourth point guard." Popovich said Monday he hasn't decided yet how he'll use Udrih once he's cleared to play.

    "It will depend some on how close we are to the season," Popovich said, "and how the other guys are playing."
    It will be interesting to see what will happen with the PG/SG/SF rotation. Spurs will have 7 PGSG/SF on the active roster. Parker/Ginobili/Bowen/Finley/Barry are locks and their are 3 players for the last 2 spots : Udrih, Vaughn and Williams or Melzer :

    So who should be put on the inactive list ? :

    - Vaughn ? : Udrih/Barry are both slow and bad defenders, Spurs won't have a good defensive PG behind Parker for the day who the opposite PG is on fire.

    - Udrih ? : Should Pop give up on him ? He is still the most legit backup PG : Vaughn is a limited player and Barry isn't a PG.

    - Williams or Melzer ? : One of Spurs bigest need was a true SF to play against strong SF, can Spurs win a le without a player to fill that need ?

    He played the position in Seattle averaging something like 5.4 assists per game....

    He's not a natural 1, but he can play the position.

    On offense- yes. I have always wanted the ball in Brent's hands. Defense will be a different story.

    As for Beno, he appears to be firmly planted in the dog house will no exit in sight. I never thought the Spurs would pick up his option anyway.

    Barry shared point-guard duties, at times, when he was in Seattle, but usually did so from the off-guard position. Because a lot of the Spurs' offense is motion-based, they don't worry as much about who brings the ball up the floor.
    He shared point-guard duties when Gary Payton was still here, after the trade for Ray Allen he started at point-guard. He would come out of the game and the backup PG would come in, then Barry would replace Allen at the two spot when he came out, that's how he got his time as the off-guard, but the backup PG would usually still run the point until he subbed out and Brent slid back over to the point. I should mention he also led the league in adjusted field-goal percentage (he shot 50 FG%, 45 3PT%, 83 FT%) and averaged 5.8 assists in his last season as a Sonic, as their starting Point Guard.

    And is the Spurs offense really motion-based? I don't get to watch a lot of Spurs games, but when I do I usually see a bunch of guys standing around, and ball movement is composed entirely of dumping it in to Duncan in the post or handing it off to Parker or Ginobili.

    Kill yourselves.

    Honestly the spurs have bigger things to worry about, if Beno bounces back he does, if not who cares. The entire spurs season isn't riding on Beno Udrih.
    Which is EXACTLY why he needs to go.

    mavs>spurs u a dumb if you think a much improved beno wouldn't make a difference. Even a bad Beno is an improvement over VanX.

    what are the other bigger things we need to worry about? the mavs? the mavs, their 15 minutes are up

    Beno Udrih, who has yet to practice with the Spurs this preseason because of a sore right hamstring, said Monday he hopes to be back on the court by the end of the week.
    Udrih is allowed to shoot, script plays and participate in some of the team's drills, but hasn't been cleared for contact.

    He ran at "70, 80 percent" speed prior to Saturday's game against Orlando.

    "I feel much better," Udrih said. "I didn't feel any pain, but still the strength is not where we want it to be.

    "I have still a little bit of fear that I'll do it again, but I think when I'm done in a couple of days, I should be ready to go."
    I saw Beno warming up on Saturday and wondered what that meant for him progress wise. It's good to hear he is feeling better.

    All right, Beno. Time to get out there.

    Yes, they run a wide variety of motion style offenses but not very often in crunch time. End of quarters or 4th quarter, you see a lot more half-court hub and spoke off of Tim in the post (4-Down on the low block). The reason you may not remember seeing much motion is people tend to remember seeing the Spurs play in playoff games and watching them at the end of games. That's when the style changes to high and side screen/rolls and 4-down.
