Media views on Roger Mason Jr. and Matt Bonner (http://blogs.mysanantonio.com/weblogs/spursworld/)
By Joe Alexander
It wasn't the Big Three who grabbed the attention of many members of the media who were watching the Spurs victory over the Celtics on Sunday.
Matt Bonner, who grew up not far from Boston, and Roger Mason Jr., who hit a crucial 3-pointer late in the game, grabbed their share of headlines.
Robert Kleeman, Bleacher Report
With Arctic chill and fearlessness permeating through his veins, Roger Mason Jr. stopped behind the arc, looked up briefly at TD Banknorth Garden's well-decorated rafters, where the main tenant Celtics' 17th banner now hangs, then smiled and threw up Sunday afternoon's biggest shot. Swoosh. Again.

New Hampshire does not have a great basketball tradition, which is why Matt Bonner is such a freak. Bonner is the starting center for the San Antonio Spurs and yesterday he buried the world champion Celtics with 23 points.

Matt Bonner's youthful trips from Concord, N.H., to the old Boston Garden were basketball pilgrimages. Bonner watched the Boston Shootout when it drew national attention and he cherished getting the occasional Celtics ticket when Larry Bird was making hardwood history.

When the Celtics saw the San Antonio Spurs were coming to Boston, it's doubtful that Matt Bonner and Roger Mason immediately came to mind.
