WTF? He didn't take any bad shots.
Stop hiking up the f*cking 3 ball every f*cking chance you get...if you're not making them...you're not making them....at least let Tim touch the f*cking ball once....sh!t....dammit......crap...
WTF? He didn't take any bad shots.
Your right, they weren't bad shots, they were ing HORRIBLE
Yes he did. The one where he didn't know what to do with it so he just threw it up was indeed a bad shot at a crucial time. Not Spurs basketball.
NVE is an old age, on court cancer
When NVE gets hot, he gets HOT. Then you won't be complaining everytime he jacks it up. I believe that's what he was signed for.
Meanwhile a promising distributive point guard, called a steal by many in the media sits and sits and sits - who by the way was a pretty good three point shooter, alas Beno will never get to show this true potential it looks like.
There will be many Van Exel fans come playoff time.
Raise the roof, mofo's
I can't seem to remember...when exactly WAS the last time that happened...
"When NVE gets hot, he gets HOT"
But he's cold a lot, too.
He's a career FG 40%, so overall, he's not a scorer, no matter how well-placed or memorable a few of his 3Gs have been.
Brent, Michael, and Manu all shoot much better than Nick, but Brent and Michael are both, like today, shooting very cold as Spurs.
When's the last time he actually performed on the primary PG responsibilities - setting up a teammate for an easy basket off an assist.
The problem with him is when he is in the game, the ball does not rotate well, the offense become stagnate and other player must run back quickly on defense after his
"quick shots". I guess that's why he's called Nick the Quick.
his reputation, I don't like what he brings to the team.
I think he's a good player...but f*ck when you're off you're off...don't try and get it going when we're down by five and there's time to get back in it....he was just f*cking up tonight...I think he relies on that 3 shot waaaaaaaaay too much instead of penetrating and making something happen...
You never know, NickyVan might slip in his kitchen tomorrow morning and be out for the season. Voila! BENO!
NVE has the green light from Pop to take those shots. He also has the ability to handle the rock against pressure, something that continues to elude Boy Beno.
yuuuup.He also has the ability to handle the rock against pressure, something that continues to elude Boy Beno.
Once again.
Without Van Exel and Mohammed giving a crap in this game, this is another Pistons like embarassing performance.
NVE has maybe two years left, we have Beno longer than that.
Agreed. But there's been several NVE posts such as this to reply in instead.
NVE thinks his kome, can throw up any shot when he feels like it
He was 1-4 from 3, while Barry was ing 2-9
'03 playoffs ring a bell? We got a front row seat.
The problem with guys like Nick is that they hit one shot, and then think they can't miss so they get selfish. Today, Nick hit a shot with about 4 minutes to go, then proceeded to brick 3 shots in a row in the last 3 minutes. That's how guys like him are.
Yeah, but a couple of Barry's threes were just jacked up to beat the shot clock. NVE was jacking up threes early in the shot clock, without a good look or without numbers in transition. Say what you will about Bones, but the Spurs played a of a lot better with him running the offense.
Exactly...this wasn't a couple of games ago....or three months ago...that was 3 YEARS AGO...
You mean the series when he shot exactly 37.5% from the floor? , when he was coming off the bench in the first few games of that series he shot 32.5% on 49 shots. The guy is a bulk shooter. He has to get up a ton of shots to have one of those "on fire" moments. Otherwise they are very few and far between.
The one that killed me was the one that turned the game. They'd gotten back within two with something like 3 minutes left, and he jacked one up with 20 seconds left on the shot clock from horrible position, in transition, so there was no hope of an offensive rebound, but not enough time for the defense to set. There was no way in it was going in. We went from down by two with a great chance to tie and take it back (momentum was swinging our way) to down by 6 in 30 seconds. And that was it. We never recovered.
Frankly, I'd really like to see a lot more Beno. He's not going to improve in that big game time unless he actually, you know, plays some. If you think he sucks that much, split his minutes with NVE and let NVE play in the crunch time (though I'll be holding my breath and shuddering the entire time).
