Beno

[Slo spurs fan]

This time I was unable to see the game and according to boxscore he played good. Can someone make recap of his game for me please? I will appreciate it!
Thanks.

[T Park]

first half was pretty mediocre, he fumbled some easy passes, and balls slipped through his hands.

Second half his shot looked good, made a nice fake on Monta Ellis to beak is his legs, let alone his ankles, and made some big shots.

His defense in the second half was bad to pathetic.

Made some dumb fouls and dumb decisions.


Id give him a B for tonight.

I like how Beno is knocking down the outside shot.

Hope he keeps it up.


1 thing that I noticed, hes more of a natural point guard than Tony is, but ZERO assists for Beno tonight.

Shocked me. Usually he gets 3 or 4.

beno is makin a push for mip+6th man award

[T-Pain]

Beno is gettin better

[Mr. Body]

Only highlight I saw of the game was his great juke of Ellis. That was pretty sweet.

[Kori Ellis]

One note, TPark's description makes it seem like Beno had a lot of turnovers in the first half. He had zero on the night.

[T Park]

he had 1 pass come right to him that he flopped off his hands out of bounds to end the first quarter I think.

Another time there was a scrum, the ball literally fell in his hands and he some how fumbled it away.


He seemed like he was sleep walking in the first half.

Beno is playing as well as any backup point in the league right now. He seems to be more aware of his limitations and he knows what he can do and what he can't. For whatever reason, he, Brent, and Manu really work really well together. Sure, it's not going to make for a great defensive lineup, but those 3 can pretty much get any open shot they want for each other with all their passing.

Thanks guys.

But he hit 3 J´s in first half and 2 in second !?

[Slo spurs fan]

His defense in the second half was bad to pathetic.

Was he on Derek at that time?

[T Park]

a big pull up and a 3 that made it 8 up with about 2 or 3 minutes left.

Yeah they were big shots.

[T Park]

Was he on Derek at that time?

Him, and Monta Ellis.

Why Beno coudn't hit one more shot?

Assist counts only if afterwards there is an execution. How many as "assists" with missing shots has he produced?

[Slomo]

Why Beno coudn't hit one more shot?

You obviously made the same bet I did!

[Rummpd]

Fisher for those who watched was unconcious and anyone would have had trouble he made them falling down and over well positioned defenders all night.

Beno also held him relatively in check for an important stretch.

[Solid D]

The TV angle showed Derek Fisher flashing out with his hands distracting or inhibiting Beno's vision just as the pass was arriving on that first TO that went off Beno and out of bounds. So that one didn't bother me that much.

The Spurs went small at the end of the 3rd quarter and the first part of the 4th. Beno ran at both lead guard and the 2 guard.

There was one stat mentioned in one of the recaps regarding Beno's scoring that is encouraging...in the 9 games he has played during Nick Van Exel's absence, Beno is averaging 10.4 ppg at a 39-70 (55.7%) clip.

To keep things in perspective, Parker was dominant and really took charge down the stretch, while Beno was a nice role player in his 14 minutes.

[Slo spurs fan]

Thanks Solid D, you rocks (as usual, that is).

[picnroll]

No wonder TPark is so down on Beno. Based on his recap he's obviously mistaken him for some other player. Not sure who.

[leemajors]

i think it's slovenia in general. , any foreign nation. maybe he picked up a valor cd with their spirited cover of "Proud to be an American" on it they performed last friday. regardless, beno played well... and i like how parker is stroking that outside j in the mid to late 4th quarter.

Beno did not have a turnover.

[angel_luv]

Beno did you proud Slo. He is getting really good out there.

[ShoogarBear]

Beno did not have a turnover.

He wasn't credited with a turnover, which is the scorekeeper's decision. I didn't see the play in question, but sounds like they might have decide to give the TO to the passer.

Anyway, he had a good game, and 10 PPG over the past 9 games is huge.

No kidding, that was about as bad a distortion of a player's performance as I have ever read. In his role as backup PG he easily got an A.
