Damnit, Melissa. The Spurs just need to go ahead and pick up Beno's option now so he can finally feel confident and try to come up with more than 27 double-digit scoring games and 7 games with more than five assists in two years.
I'd have been happy if it had been over before Nick Van Exel was signed. What the were the Spurs expecting him to do if he's as terrible as all of you say he is?
I'm not sure where you think I'm happy that he's the backup point guard. He either needs to be playing or he needs to be gone. I've said this for going on two years now. Going to the media to just gut any kind of value he might have just chains him to the end of the bench for yet another season. If that's the case then throw the little er into the rotation and make him play until he drops dead or he learns how to contribute to the team.

If there's a huge question mark on him, why in the is he still on the team? Why is it "supreme patience" for the coach to keep someone who CAN'T ING PLAY?
No, I'd have been annoyed if the Spurs had continued to keep them on the bench with no sense of urgency to replace them in the rotation for two and a half years. You guys are so busy sniffing Pop's nutsack that you miss the fact that the Spurs are going into yet another season without a reliable backup for Parker.
Oh, I don't know, maybe work hard, play through minor injuries, and show he can handle a little compe ion and earn the job instead of having it handed to him?
It'd be nice, but if he hasn't ever showed any sign of doing the above in the last two years, why would anyone expect him to suddenly do it now?
I find that people aren't tolerant enough with Beno. He isn't for sure a perfect play but I wouldn't say that he is done or that Spurs should give up with him.
If I were a Spurs player, I would tried to play even with a broken leg. So I can understand that people are hard on Beno because he isn't a though player. The truth is that Beno has the talent to be a nba player, not you or me and you had to accept his failings. Now the question is : Can Beno be a good backup PG with his qualities and his flaws ? I think so.
Except for the coach, who has tolerated having a sucking pussy that can't dribble the ball occupying the backup point guard spot for going on three years now.
Wow, and the coaches would like to give him a chance to earn his option, so after trying everything else, they call him out in the media to challenge his manhood?
What a concept.
So you would have preferred for the Spurs to just let him go immediately after failure? Well, it, why is that slack-ass Duncan still on the team?
Beno has been a good backup PG for his first year.
Beno can be a "sucking pussy" but I take him over a "hard worker" like vaughn if he is a better player.

Beno Udrih, sidelined since the start of the preseason with a sore right hamstring, said he hopes to be able to begin practicing in a week.
"It's not so tight anymore," Udrih said. "At least when we go back to San Antonio, I think I can start working on the strength and get my strength back.
"Then hopefully, in a week, I'll be back. But you never know with a hamstring."
Udrih said he initially hurt his hamstring three weeks ago while running sprints as part of his offseason conditioning.
"I just felt a pop," he said. "Two weeks after the injury, I tried to come back. I pulled it a little bit again."
Popovich called Udrih the team's "fourth point guard" last week because he hasn't been available to practice. Udrih said he understands Popovich's frustration.
"He's a coach," Udrih said. "He wants to have all his players. But I'm not happy either. I would rather be on the court than on the side watching my teammates practice. If there's anybody frustrated, it's me.
"I hope I get back as soon as possible. I'm going to do everything possible to stay healthy."
Udrih said his goal is to earn Popovich's confidence and become the backup point guard.
"That's why I'm going to work hard," he said. "This can be my year. I know I can do a lot. I'm going to do everything in my power to help the team."
He was doing sprint work as part of his off-season conditioning and it was shortly after the WC so he was in shape.
thanks rasho.
Because he's shown that he CAN play. That's what is so frustrating. He truly has great potential and that is where "supreme patience" comes into play. If Pop et al didn't see that potential, they would've dumped him after his rookie year.
The take from many is that he can't dribble the ball, he costs the team games and that he fakes injuries. Oh and he has a purse. His great potential has landed him as the fourth point guard on the team with the coach and now he has no trade value.
Good point, but if Parker has to play during garbage time of the playoff games because Pop doesn't trust Beno to go in then I'd rather have Vaughn even if he's not as talented.
