Motivating Beno

by Tom Ziller on Dec 31, 2008 6:59 AM PST in Commentary

Kenny Natt tried it one way, by basically calling out the starting point guard. Now, according to Sam Amick, the coach might take a different tact.

"[Bobby Brown] played really well, and aggressive and attacking," Kings interim coach Kenny Natt said. "That's the kind of play that we need out of him. Often times, guys want to play but when someone steps ahead of you and you can see that they're taking your playing time, (players) tend to elevate their game and their effort."

Udrih shouldn't need motivation, after falling from key reserve for a World Champion to waived by the Wolves. But for whatever reason, he struggles to maintain a presence on the court. We know you don't suck, Beno. So stop sucking.

I don't think it's totally effort

I think a good portion of it has to do with he isn’t the right fit the way Petrie thought he would be.

Bobby Brown

If he doesn’t play those seven minutes and give them a spark, the Kings don’t win.

And if Bobby JAAAAAACK-sunnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!! doesn’t dominate Baron Davis defensively in the closing minutes, the Kings don’t win.

Wake up, Beno, or prepare thy butt for more splinters.

I

hope he starts playing well … I need him for my fantasy team.

They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time.

I'm rec'ing that

Because that takes balls to put Beno on your fantasy team, and keep him after this start.
