He brought the ball up against full court press?!?!?
I musta missed that.

Rasho could bring the ball up versus Sam Cassell![]()
Lindsey Hunter isn't severing his ing arms at the wrist. Amazing what a difference that makes...
I guess there's always 8-second Nick.
I'm referring to cross-overs, dribble penetration and full-speed 360s and finishing with the right hand (he's lefty).
No, just realistic.
When Beno doesn't let Lindsey Hunter and Bobby jackson get in his head and bring the ball up, then he will be fine.
you know i'm not a hater.![]()
If Nick's elbow heals, he'll be a factor. Otherwise, Beno has the court vision, passing, and shooting to keep him on the bench.
I thought Pop overreacted in the Finals. He eventually settled on Barry and Manu when Tony wasn't on the floor, but what they did was determine who was covered by Hunter, and the OTHER one would bring the ball up the floor. They could have done that with Beno.
Beno has great talent.
Just not the head.
That simple.
I'm living in the now. Like I say, Beno's improved his handle. Did I say Beno has stayed the same as las' year? No...I just checked with myself and I confirmed I did not say that.
Don't be hatin' and a livin' in the past.
Dude is a SECOND YEAR PLAYER at the toughest position on the court.
Beno's handle is improved, but he just got lit up by Sam I Am and cost the Spurs the game. At the end of the third and beginning of the fourth, Beno got burnt and put the Spurs in the hole they could never get out of.
Sam can light up anybody. Tony has been lit up a few times by Sam. There's a reason why the Clips are over .500 for the 1st time since '92, Sam Cassel.
Sam I Am has lit up more than a few players, some of them even starters. This was the trap game of the road trip.
Yeah, no question. Cassell is someone who you have to guard a while to understand how he plays. That's why he was so effective early in his career and why he always destroys rookies. He has an odd game that is really tough to pick up on. I don't really blame Beno for getting lit up but honestly, that's why the Spurs lost the game. Parker had him under control until Beno tried to guard him.
Spurs frontcourt killed them tonight.
Killed on the boards, and scored .
Cassell only had 15pts but did have 11 dimes.
I think I gotta side with buttons on this one and say the spurs front court wasn't very good tonight.
'.500 for the 1st time since '92, Sam Cassel."
only one reason. Elton's big improvement, Kaman, Cuttino. And Vlade was a good pickup.
I hardly ever disagree with you, timvp. The Spurs lost this game because they left it in reach. It happened to come down to Sam getting hot, but it could have been any player. The Spurs were flat and uninspired. They could never get separation.
Dude, every team Sam Plays for wins. Elton and Kaman were there last year, Sam just makes them way better. KG would probably agree with me. Cuttino is a semi-scrub and Vlade's only been there a few games. Plus, it's the freakin clippers who always have talent but suck anyways.
Beno enters the game. Spurs go from tied to ten down with Sam Cassell doing all the damage with Beno on him.4:48 Beno Udrih enters the game
4:03 57-59 Chris Kaman makes layup (Cuttino Mobley assists)
3:25 57-61 Sam Cassell makes 11-foot two point shot
2:46 57-63 Sam Cassell makes 12-foot two point shot
2:02 59-65 Elton Brand makes 12-foot running jumper (Sam Cassell assists)
1:17 59-67 Sam Cassell makes driving layup (Elton Brand assists)
0:03 59-69 Elton Brand makes 13-foot jumper (Sam Cassell assists)
0:00 End of the 3rd Quarter
Gotta say,
gotta put some of this loss on pop.
Leaving Beno out on Cassell time after time was stupid.
Bowen, Ginobili, , Brent Barry would've worked.
Cassell got any shot he wanted.
BTW, the people that made fun of the Clippers for trading for Radmonovic look silly.
TOnight showed why you want a guy like him on your team.
His threes were backbreakers.
If you want to go into the fourth quarter:
Cassell has a hand in 17 consecutive points by the Clips and outscore the Spurs 17-2 since Beno entered. Game over.12:00 Start of the 4th Quarter
11:48 59-72 Vladimir Radmanovic makes 26-foot three point jumper (Sam Cassell assists)
10:53 61-74 Sam Cassell makes 14-foot two point shot
10:19 61-76 Sam Cassell makes 14-foot running jumper
