Paino Udrih Strikes Again

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I'm not forgetting about anything. I'm citing the example to point out how some of you are willing to forgive one player for what amounted to a rather large mistake, and you won't forgive another player who made a couple of turnovers. You don't give him credit when he plays well but you focus in on something that he does that's bad months and years later. That makes you hypocrites.


Your original argument was that Manu should be given a pass because he helped the Spurs win championships, and not for the mistake that he made. If that's the position you are taking, is Jaren Jackson available?

Jaren had his chance and screwed it up. Beno has his and is screwing it up.

And if you really want us to tell you how Beno's screwed his up (constant injuries that others have played through), we can.

If you fail to see why Manu doesn't get the Beno gets, then you're just not watching the games.

Just for a second, though....let's heap it on Manu for the foul.

Who helped the Spurs get to that point in Game 7 more?

tp and duncan

Rack The Ducks

They just need to find someone willing to take Beno.

That's the big problem. There are no takers, and the guy sitting out whenever he gets a bump on his head doesn't help.

[ducks]

trade him to the wolves they have 4 point guards now so if he is injured no big deal

tp and duncan

4th quarter points from game 7 against Dallas:

Manu 12
Tim 11
Finley 3
Parker 0

You missed an injury or ten.

- June 2004 bruised knee in the predraft camp (misses last two days of camp)
- July 2004 bruised knee in the Spurs summer league practice (misses all but first practice and first couple games)
- July 2004 bruised thumb in a Spurs summer league game (misses the rest of the game)
- July 2004 pulled ab muscle in Spurs summer league practice (misses the rest of the summer league games)
- August 2004 bruised knee in Slovenia national team compe ion (misses the rest of the compe ion)
- October 2004 bruised thigh (misses a couple days of training camp)
- October 2004 sprained ankle (misses a couple preseason games)

That was all before he even played a game for the Spurs. Since then Beno has had another dozen minor injuries. I know Pop is sick of Beno using injuries as an excuse.

And Spurs fans should be just as sick of it ... especially when Beno will play such an important role for this team.

This guy seriously sat out a basketball game with a bruised thumb?? I remember a HS football game where our RB suffered a dislocated thumb and the trainer just popped it back in - no missed time. I played three full quarters at safety after fracturing my wrist at the end of the first in that same game. I can't believe a bruised thumb kept this boy out of a game. What a baby.

that is because pop goes to duncan and manu in 4

pop needs to go to tp more in 4 now that his jumpshot is deadly

each quarter pop choices who the 2 guys he wants to go to in that quarter
tp gets the first and the 3

besides the point, the point is that Manu scored most of our points in the 4th and was the reason we had a chance to win.

[ducks]

no it was not
had the other players not scored the points
then his points would not matter

If Beno isn't allowed to play through the mistakes, why is he expected to play through the injuries?

[BeerIsGood!]

He's not expected to play through injuries. He's expected to play through bruised thumbs and colds.

[BeerIsGood!]

I'm with Pop on this one. You're only as good as your weakest link, and right now that's Beno. His softness and lazy at ude could effect others on the team, and you can't have that. Pop is a former military guy and knows this concept very well. Beno will be waived as soon as the Spurs can find a reasonable backup. This should have been taken care of long ago.

[Obstructed_View]

This should have been taken care of long ago.

A ing men. Whose fault is it that it hasn't?

[BeerIsGood!]

RC and Pop. They ed this up by trusting this purse toting fairy, but now they need to rectify the situation. Now's the time to act.

If he's as bad as Pop says, he should have known that 18 months ago. Now's way ing past the time to act.
