I agree. I would like to see the point differential when NVE is in the game. He can't stay in front of any of the Mavs on defense and is playing hesitant on offense.
Nick is the worst defender the spurs have ever had. Beno can't do any worse, but if he does it will be early enough for the spurs to overcome.
Every time nick comes in early the mavs go on a nice run.

The only positive thing I can remember Nick doing in this entire series is the pass ahead to Ginobili for the breakaway dunk tonight. He's been pretty awful.
Besides, I am sure Beno can provide a couple of points!!!
See the play when Nick started across half-court then picked up his dribble (begging for someone to pass the ball to)!
Nick will not get alot of playing time to find his rhythm as he says he needs!
Nick got some assists, but his streaky defense doesn't help...Supposedly He made up for it in the final stretch....We got Nick to run the offense and his daggers...We have yet to have any one from HOrry, to Nick, Barry do their job...which is the 3 Bomb...Finley has been the only one showing up the most this series.
Free Beno!!!
I thing Pop is full of on this decision. Beno's cannot possibly be any worse than NVE. Beno is at least a better shooter and can spread the floor.
If Pop doesn't trust Beno to play him in spots, he should get rid of his ass.
If that's the case, the Spurs should have retained Jason Hart from a couple of years ago.
I think you might be right. Beno is pretty bad, but so is Nick. The Spurs aren't nearly as deep as they have been in the past.
Beno can't do any worse than van exel, give him a run and see what happens
there is no way in that beno is worse than nick-not-so-quick. Beno should get Nick's minutes b/c Nick is the mavs best player when he's on the floor.
yup. That tells something
Nick is done but Beno's defense is even worse. Harris got going in the series in Game 2 when Beno was "guarding" him. It was a layup drill.
Yes he did, but that was garbage time. And I would think he would be matched up with Terry. I don't think he can do any worse than Exel and he's a great shooter. Give him a chance.
It has been layup drill since Pop found his "small ball" religion.
One game, he deserves a shot if only in the 1st half. Also at worse Beno's defense is the same because Nick never stops anyone.
Throwing Beno in this fire would kill him. That guy is fragile.
The Mavs would kill poor dude.
Beno's jump shot is pretty solid.
I don't think he should play point though...He should just be there to set up a three or something Manu and Barry are better playing the point..
Nick Van Exel had one play where he guarded the pick and roll perfectly, but he has no business being on the same floor as Jason Terry. When Nick's on the court, Terry might as well be Jordan.
Sticking with Van Exel is like mack brown stinking with Chris Simms until it's too late.
how many wide open 8 ft jump shots did terry have on nick. I counted 3 in a row.
What's the difference? Nick's already dead. I don't expect Beno to be much better defensively, but at least he can get on streaks sometimes. Nick's been the most consistent Spurs player this whole season. Nick can't shoot, can't penetrate, and the offense stagnates because all Dallas has to do is hide Dirk on him, knowing he will do absolutely nothing. There is no reason for NVE to ever put that jersey on again.
Players are born in the playoffs. You don't know until you try again.
Beno is the human 0-7 run. This series is tight enough without worrying about whether your point guard can bring the ball up the court.
Van Exel's D in the 4th quarter was fantastic.
The rotations and step out D on Terry was GREAT.
He freakin stepped up.
He forced a horrible shot by terry, he also after Ginobili knocked the ball loose, grabbed it and sent it ahead for him to dunk it.
unreal, guess you haters missed that part of the game eh?
