Beno is playing better than NVE has all season. This is good news.
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said Thursday that he's considering sitting Nick Van Exel until the playoffs to see if prolonged rest would help his troublesome left elbow.
Van Exel has bone chips in the elbow, which is on his primary shooting arm, and likely will need surgery after the season. He's been in and out of the lineup the past two months depending on how sore he feels.
Meaning: Beno is our man as backup PG.
i think this is good news.
Beno is playing better than NVE has all season. This is good news.
bad news if you want to win a championship.
Turnover Beno will strike again.
calm down chicken little....
The sky is not ing falling.... If you revert to your former last season self do not expect any credibility.
i think it is good news... UNLESS (The man has a point, Beno Udrih DID have a shaky dribble in the playoffs last year) Beno hasn't overcome his pressure defense problems. Beno has a nice shot and PG vision. He seems to be the most consistent three point shooter the team has along with Manu and Bruce.
wtf are you talking about?
Best pure shooter on the team.
Great offensive point guard.
Mediocre to bad defensively.
Horrible against good defensive pressure, wich will come against teams like the
Clippers, Lakers, rockets, Mavericks, Pistons, Suns.
Pretty much any team in the playoffs, will put a huge amount of pressure on the ball when Beno is in, and Beno will give it up faster than Bill Clinton with Nuclear secrets to China.
I refuse to let you slip into your dementia again. You know damn Well Beno is a much more viable option AT LEAST until NVE can get his together. I STILL have yet to see him turn it over recently as you so frequently proclaim he does.
Hey, if we can get everyone to play D like Phoenix , we can let Nazr run the point.
TPark, I think you forgot the fact that Beno was still a rookie last yr.
Give him a break.
Not good news. You never want injuries. If Beno gets Lindsey Huntered again, you want someone to turn to.
What the has Beno Udrih done in the L? As much as people love to sniff Kerr's jock in here you would think the experienced vet would get the nod. The last thing we need is Boy Wonder getting rattled again and tossing his cookies in a Finals game on the road. I have never understood how some of you think that some run against whoever in early March makes him ready for that pressure. This is about winning championships not about whatever crush you guys have on players. NVE was brought in specifically for the postseason. Deal with it.
Spot on.What the has Beno Udrih done in the L? As much as people love to sniff Kerr's jock in here you would think the experienced vet would get the nod. The last thing we need is Boy Wonder getting rattled again and tossing his cookies.
Great post as usual SF.
beno knows spurs plays more than nve... i think he's more mature now... he will deliver...
its sad to see people still not have faith in beno he is way better on both sides of the ball yes NVE was brought on for the playoffs but that boy sucks ass on D no question beno is getting better every day remember he's in his second year and learning i remember ginobili was a rook and parker in his second year and we one a championship so relax take some valium and chill
wtf.......
How is wanting to develop a young player with talent about having a crush on anyone? How did Tony Parker develop in this league? Oh yeah, Pop put him in the ing game and let him make mistakes. Did he develop? Looks like. If Beno isn't ready by the playoffs then by all means keep him off the roster, but don't just keep him out of the game because you are afraid he might make a mistake.
Besides, handling pressure isn't a player thing, it's a coaching and gameplan thing. With as many players as can supposedly handle the ball on this team it seems stupid to waste a young player's other abilities because you don't recognize that the other team has put their defensive specialist on the floor against your rookie. That's like inbounding the ball to Duncan at the end of a close game and being surprised that he's not a good free throw shooter.
I'm not going to sit here and say "have faith in him", but I will say, "throw his ass in the water and see if he can swim."
im not sayin beno is better than those boys by any means but he is way better than NVE this year and u know it
exactly!
"a crush? " ->cheap

I prefer a guy that can bring the ball past half court without getting the deer in the headlights look thanksbut he is way better than NVE this year and u know it
yes and i prefer a guy who can stay healthy and produce sufficient offence and in the playoffs beno dosen't have to bring up the offence barry or ginobili can even finley

Even if that guy throw brick after brick with 20 sec left? And got abused on D night after night?
And Beno didnīt made a single TO in last two games.
word!
some people are unbelivable....
team is doing great
has a great young talented point guard who only got owned in NBA FINALS IN HIS ROOKIE YEAR AGAINST AN EXPERIENCED NBA VET
and everyone es about how bad he is
as timvp mentioned in some other thread
many spurs fans are spoiled re s who just around because they dont have anything beter to do
i read this forum a lot but i dont post often but this is getting just rediculos!
when beno scores 20 points HE IS BETTER THAN TP AND HE SHOULD START AND BLAHBLAHBLAH
and when he makes a few turnovers he should be benched for life
get real ppl! people make mistakes and have good and bad days!
i get pissed off when i see ppl overreacting at everything so just they can around
Barry can run the point as a guard or a forward. Ginobili can bring the ball past half court no problem, I'm not sure about Finley but I'm sure he could at least get the ball past half court if Udrih passes out of a double team. It's not that hard to get past full court pressure, you just need to be prepared, which takes good coaching. Beno is a great jump shooter, a good passer and a good ball handler. NVE occasionally gets hot and hits a couple of threes. The Spurs don't exactly have a shortage of veteran players. Right now Beno is playing awesome basketball, and if he continues to play this way the rest of the regular season, why not give him a chance in the playoffs?
