    I was really looking forward to the Spurs locking him down after he channeled the spirit of Allen Iverson in the last meeting with San Antonio. Then I saw his back is hurt and he likely won't play. Beno...hurt? Shocking! Interesting pattern how he joins a team and impresses everyone at first and then starts getting injured. Coincidence? Brittle bones? Not enough calcium in his diet?

    Whether he plays or not I hope the Spurs keep pounding that rock and working towards playing Spurs basketball.

    Spurs by 20.

    I don't know if he ever impressed us that much as he did his first couple of games with the Kings....

    Yeah he was pretty damn impressive.

    When he was in shape and being a team player he looked like a reincarnated John Stockton.

    No joke.

    Exactly what games or streak of games did he have when he was with the Spurs that he looked like "a reincarnated John Stockton?"

    Beno is smart enough to shut it down. He's already earned his contract. He'll make pretty good money this summer.

    One thing about Beno is he's a savvy business man. When there's money on the line, he'll play his azz off.

    If you don't remember, can't do anything for you.

    Yup, full to three quarters of the MLE is going his way.

    A year from now Sacramento will be begging teams to take him off their hands.

    And if you actually believe that Beno showed you that he was a reincarnation of John Stockton, then I can't do anything for you....

    When he was NBA Rookie Of The Month people thought he had a chance to be something special.

    Unfortunately his career and Mr. Stockton's went in opposite directions from there.

    I never said he was, it was the impression around scouts and people.

    I thought he was good. He still is. Its the same old same old.

    Million dollar talent, ten cent head.

    Hype killed the kid

    Breakfast tacos and s is what did it.

    Beno will get the full MLE from someone - I said that back in December.

    Fellow ST poster "Kevin Martin" took umbrage at my inferences in this thread:

    Actually he and Stockton had very similar stat lines in the '03-'04 and '04-'05 season.

    No pressure on him at all this season especially in this game so i still dont know why you would think the injury might be phony. But i know part of you is joking so its not like im pissed at you for bringing it up.

    I'd appreciate it if you could let me know how long he is going to sit. My DL2 life might be borne on Beno's thin shoulders...

    Good call, Chopper. It wasn't 20 by the end of the game but close enough.
