No, you're up front in the conductor's cab.The picture is missing me. I am a permanent passanger.
I want one of those Beno shirts. The guy is the epitome of the word LOSER, and the only reason anyone on this thing defends him is because they are either from or infatuated with Slovenia. I'm not saying that all Slovenians are like this (although Rasho doesn't help), but Beno is a waste of talent - pure and simple. If Beno was American - everyone on this board would be bashing him into the ground, and he surely deserves that.
All aboard! All aboard!
Its just hard for me to believe that someone with such a pretty shot could have no shot at all, and maybe your right, cause I gave Rasho a pass for far too long
The only other ones on there are Beno himself and the lawyer with the restraining order to keep Angel away from Beno!

I am one of Beno's biggest denfender on here... he might as well make me his lawyer and PR. agent.
Beer- I don't know why you feel the need to slight Rasho. He doesn't deserve it.
what pains me, is how patient the FO, the coaching staff and the fans have been with this dood. When he chocked against the Pistons, that was understandable. he was a rookie in a championship game...talk about a deer in headlights. but last season, he regressed. and this season, you would never know that this guy played professional basketball for a living. there are flashes but at some point you have to develop consistency. i'm still waiting for this maturation to happen. at some point, you have to cut your losses and admit that things aren't working out. we all don't know the details behind the hesitation on the c. magg trade, but i wish RC/Pop would have pulled the trigger. now, we're stuck with 2 3rd string PG's and no real quality back-up for TP.
I'm sure he makes shot after shot in practice, but it takes someone with guts to go in and do it in front of thousands in attendance and millions on TV. The kid is blinded by the bright lights, and that makes him worthless to the Spurs.
Its almost like hes just happy being in the NBA, like its enough for him just being there. It doesnt seem like he has done anything to make himself better since he came in, and with Chip Englund on our staff, there is no excuse for his shot being that bad. Tonys shot has gotten better and better while Benos has gotten worse, thats just a lack of work
it helps to look at the rim when you shoot. If you look at his last 3 pt attempt he was staring at the floor and just flung the ball.
I'm sure he's a great person and I would surely have him on my team before Beno, but I just think he's another example of someone who could have been awesome with just some fire. He displayed no ganas with the Spurs.
Beno sucks!Beno sucks!Beno sucks!Beno sucks!Beno sucks!Beno sucks!Beno sucks!Beno sucks!Beno sucks!Beno sucks!Beno sucks!Beno sucks!Beno sucks!Beno sucks!Beno sucks!Beno sucks!Beno sucks!Beno sucks!Beno sucks!Beno sucks!Beno sucks!Beno sucks!
And I don't even oppose that view.
But that is not what you are trying to say. He has to prove himself, and I don't even try to sell you otherwise the idea that Beno is not a bad basketball player with issues.

now gimme a break...
I'm just really frustrated with the guy. I'm pimping D-league point guards these days because they play in front of 500 people with an intensity and purpose I rarely see from Beno playing in front of 20,000.
And yeah, Beno is more talented than these guys, but talent alone just isn't enough at this level.
The Spurs really messed up by not putting Beno in the NBDL last season. A long, long bus ride followed a stay at a Budget Motel would do wonders for him.
If Beno can coax some amount of courage, I think many will begin to whistle to a different tune. There was a game, maybe two, where Beno truely looked like a young Stockton. Now, granted, this was 2 games, Stockton did it 15+ seasons. Alright, let's add consistancy to list. Don't give up on Ol' Beans just yet.
Beno is incredibly consistent this season, which isn't a good thing in his case. timvp, is the rule that only first and second year players can be sent to the NBDL?
Yeah. Too bad because Beno just needs playing time to find his shot and some reality of how close he is to losing his privileged NBA life. Playing in front of 250 fans in South Dakota who mostly came to watch the halftime show would help that.
beno isn't ty, hes just on a team that makes him look ty..
Could you do a favor and call around to the league GMs and tell them this? Drive his value up a little.
thumbs up
Spurs are history.
did anyone notice that the Pistons are currently starting Murray at PG with Blalock back him up?
now, that is trouble. probably the worst PG duo in the league.
(although Murray is doing better than most expected, but he just isn't a PG)
no wonder they lost 5 of the last 7.
Pistons are very active on the market, they are rumored to go for MoPete and C-Webb.
I can't see them not also looking for a PG, which would be their biggest need.
so call Detroit.
swap Beno for Delfino. yes, he is also a bit of a headcase, but he is much of what the Spurs bench needs desperatly. an energetic guy, who is best at driving to the rim and who is a very good rebounder for a swingman. and even if he doesn't show much of it, he CAN PLAY DEFENSE. there is a good chance, that he would flourish in SA when given the role of the energizer from the bench. and the Argentinian environment in SA might also do wonders for a (somehow premature) player like him.
Current 06-07 season: 15.1mpg .357 fg% .284 3pt% .917 ft% 1.08 TO 5.4ppg 2.1 astWikipedia:
Prior to his NBA debut, he appeared in the Southern California Summer Pro League for the Spurs, and also appeared in 3 games with the Spurs squad in the 2004 Reebok Rocky Mountain Revue while averaging 10.3 PPG, 5 APG, 4.7 RPG, 1.33 SPG, 24.7 MPG, and shooting .542 (13-24).
He'd be decent if he stopped throwing up brick shots, his fg percentage is terrible. If that was up around .500 and had more assists, he'd actually be, decent.
Career FG% 3PT%
04-05 .444 .408
05-06 .455 .343
06-07 .357 .284
He still has potential, but he has clearly gone downhill. Pop needs to get him to pass more if he's just going to chuck 9 shots a game and hit 2.
