Pop is overreacting, is this how he wants his players to gain confidence? talk about beatting a dead Horse
You Beno lovers are unreal.....
We're two
I guess we are even three (I doubt that angel_luv thinks that Beno will suck this year)
Let Beno play!

I agree- just not for the Spurs.
so i guess beno isn't the next john stockton?
Beno probably wouldn't start for Gonzaga.
Why did we even acquire Brent Barry in the first place if he's not going to play? Can't trust Beno, play Barry dammit! He hustles, he can shoot the 3, pass the ball and run the break. Occasionally he even makes a nice defensive play. We're paying him 4mil per, so let him back Parker up, and use Vaughn for defense in special teams.
The team has obviously lost any confidence they had in Beno, so kick him to the curb and let Brent play. At least we know he will give his all.
(PS I would love to have seen Marcus Banks backing up Tony - that would've been electric! Never gonna happen as we didn't have the cash, but nice to dream)
Barry got some great playing time today during the 2nd quarter with the very effective "small lineup" that included Vaughn, Gino, Brent, Finley and Elson/Oberto. They were able to get major separation on the scoreboard with that lineup and Brent did a nice job offensively.
And now the negatives: Barry's passing wasn't too good today. He telegraphed two in a row, so he will need to tighten up his passes to the wing or into the post.
Barry can't defend quick PGs, so he would be limited to defending slower subs or he would need a quicker guy to play with him to defend the opposing PG.
Today Barry did a no-no. He fell asleep and broke a Pop rule by letting Amara Sy dribble right by him into the middle with a major slam. Tim and Francisco were late and it turned into an ESPN SportsCenter moment.

Nicely done. You might even have Beno word for word there.
Brent Barry?Why did we even acquire Brent Barry in the first place if he's not going to play? Can't trust Beno, play Barry dammit! He hustles, he can shoot the 3,
Huh?
When could he shoot????????
Beno looked unhappy in the footage they showed on the news. It made me sad.
I thought it was interesting when Pop went with Bones and Vaughn for a stretch in the 2nd quarter, to have two people who could bring up the ball. Maybe that sort of secondary backcourt could have Barry and JV switching offense/defense. That doesn't sound like a bad alternative for when Parker comes out of games.
All his own doing Angel.Beno looked unhappy in the footage they showed on the news. It made me sad.
Stop feeling sorry for him...
Don't let facts get in the way, Park.
Last year he shot 45.2% from the field, and 39.6% from 3. He hit 80 3s, about one a game. Career, he shoots 45.9% and 40.2%.
If you were referring to his reluctance to shoot, maybe he's told by the coaching staff that he's a final option only. If he were the primary backup PG, I'm sure that would change.
Incorrect.If you were referring to his reluctance to shoot, maybe he's told by the coaching staff that he's a final option only
Hes encouraged by the coaching staff.
Hes told he has a constant green light.
When he does shoot hes a stiff.
I reference the games against the freakin Mavericks.
I'm intrested in one thing - why Tim and manu are injury prone?
Nothing new to me. I've always thought this guy was lazy and an underachiever. So sorry, my man, no props from me.Damn, timvp is owning people before the season even starts. Pop said almost exactly what I've been saying about Beno.
Almost word for word.
Apologies Accepted.

Imagine at any time in the year if we have this line up on the floor against an NBA team. UUgghh!
Well, that's six people, so if they let us get away with it we have a chance.Imagine at any time in the year if we have this line up on the floor against an NBA team. UUgghh!
Actually, on second thought, Oberto didn't come in for Elson during that small-ball 2nd quarter. My memory failed me a bit. It was Vaughn, Manu, Barry, Finley, and Elson. The Spurs brought Timmy in to play along-side Elson after the lead got up to 10 points...and took out one of the wings (Finley, I think).
Pop frustrated with Udrih? In other news, sky believed to be blue. Why would anyone be surprised with the fact that Pop gets angry with players and punishes them by denying them playing time. Rasho and Nazr, anyone?
Do you think hes justified in being mad at Udrih, or do you side with the slovenians in thinking Pop is a big old meany.Why would anyone be surprised with the fact that Pop gets angry with players and punishes them by denying them playing time
No, I'm sure Rasho, Nazr and Beno ALL had it coming. Being benched at the first sign of a mistake, being blamed for losses and being bashed in the press is a completely mature way for a great coach to treat a player he won't play, trade or cut, considering the slack that he cut for Manu and Parker when they made mistakes early in their careers. If Udrih is that useless, we knew this over a year ago, and it's on Pop that he wasn't replaced before the trade deadline last year. It's even more so on Pop that we've gone an entire offseason without moving him and that the coaching staff is now destroying any residual value he might have had. Fourth point guard? , people. If Pop got blindsided into having NO plan for backing up Parker I'm not sure how you manage not to blame him for it.
RC is the GM. He should have had a more active role in trading Beno last year as well. But last year there was still hope. Now all we have is a girly man with a purse. , he isn't even a man. He's a boy.
I say ship his ass out to an NBA team - not an international one. There may still be a market yet for Beno. Perhaps even Golden State. Nellie is always willing to look at players who who score, but DO NOT play DEFENSE. If not him, check this out:
