Matt Bonner still blows.

[S4Spur21]

It's true.

[The_Worlds_finest]

no sir YOU BLOW

[S4Spur21]

He'll find a way to choke and blow, away from home. He'll crack in Dallas.

[50 cent]

I agree. His D is atrocious.

I can't stand Bonner's game. Even a blind squirel finds a nut every once in a while.

[rayray2k8]

He does fucking blow.. I'm not taking back anything I've said about
this 6'10 piece of shit.
He'll find a way to fuck up in game 3 and 4..
Parker is the shit!!

[easy7]

He blowed but not as much as he did Saturday...

[samikeyp]

While the level of Bonner's suckatude decreased tonight, I still want to see more Gooden and less Bonner.

[Solid D]

Actually, his hustle on D was really pretty good tonight. He scored (11), he rebounded some (4 offensive, 3 on D), he showed harder on the screen switches, and he closed out on shooters better. He wasn't soft tonight, either, for a change.

[Borosai]

His D is not amazing, but it's not horrible either. He stayed in front of his guys most of the time, even on the perimeter. What more can he do? Oh, and he stuffed Bass. I think I saw him angry on the bench, so that's good: now he just needs to get angry - at the opposition - on the court, and he'll be a HOFer.

[z0sa]

Matt Bonner
29 mins
3-4 3PM/A, 2/2 FT for 11 points
7 rebounds (4 offensive)
1 blocked shot
+/- of +21

showing up in the playoffs isn't like the regular season son. Every game counts.

So when a Spur has a big game from now til the end of these playoffs, whenever that may be, why don't you fuck off and let us enjoy the performance.

[peskypesky]

[Texas_Ranger]

Next game he'll play like in game 1 and once again everyone will hate him.

[Borosai]

Bonner has turned a corner and stepped it up another notch. By the time you turn the corner, he will be standing behind you. Scary stuff.

[slayermin]

Bonner is the only big that the Spurs have that can shoot the three. I wish we had Horry but he's not here. Without Bonner, the spacing is horrible on the offensive end. And without Manu, he's more important than ever. He hustles his ass off. I don't understand the hate.

[z0sa]

And thats why Bonner was 0-5 within 4 feet of the basket.

the fact he was getting shots by the basket isn't good enough for you? he's matt fucking bonner, any time he's getting multiple looks around the rim, you know you're doing something right.

[z0sa]

Thats the point. Your in the NBA and you cant hit a shot within 4 feet. Only shots 18+ feet out.

Get the fuck out of the NBA. He is extremely lucky to be 6'10.

He can and does hit shots within 4 feet commonly. He has a pretty sweet little hook he likes to throw, he has a nice runner as well. Just stop :sleep

[50Bestspurever]

+1

+2

[S4Spur21]

He wouldn't start on any other team.

[peskypesky]

the guy is a third string sf starting at center, thats why we have no shot this year.

we have shot...if Pop will pull his head out of his ass and give Gooden more minutes and Bonner less (or zero).

[Yorae]

wtf he stuffed bass????

[Borosai]

Bonner will knock down the game winner in game 3. 60% guaranteed.

[z0sa]

Really? I honestly cannot remember the last time he dunked, made a runner, or even a pullup within the range of 6 feet or less.

All he has is a nice 3 point shot, and can hustle and pester players like Dirk. But please do not try to give him the attributes of a well-rounded player.


You act like the shots he was getting a pass near the rim and just missing point blank. He was getting all the way to the paint on dribble drives and pulling up over and around defenders, then tracking down his loose misses. He was actually pretty effective penetrating and he made a couple great passes out of it :wow It was really just a little bad luck on a couple of his shots rimming out.

Overall, Bonner's defense on Dirk and others was outstanding as well. he was getting his hand in on loose balls and was getting physical and not pushed around. Obviously, he got some shit for those Dampier/Dirk dunks, so he answered the call for more physical play and rebounds in a big way.

To sum it up, I don't think you could ask for better basketball from the Red Rocket tonight - other than those near misses.

[jbspurs]

Actually, his hustle on D was really pretty good tonight. He scored (11), he rebounded some (4 offensive, 3 on D), he showed harder on the screen switches, and he closed out on shooters better. He wasn't soft tonight, either, for a change.

He could've easily gotten more rebounds, if he'll just move his feet instead of just watching the ball bounce of the rim. Two of those offensive rebounds came from his point blank missed shots with "Barea" on his face. I hate it when he doesn't give an effort to grab rebounds at least fight for it.

He's just scared Barea might block his shot.

[ulosturedge]

Bonner helps spread the floor(sarcasm)...

[SouthTexasRancher]

It's true.


Bonner gets props tonight. He heard that everyone in SA was down on him and he responded like a True Spur tonight. He sucked in Game 1 but, made up for it tonight. If he can give us 6-8 pts. per game and 5-6 rebounds it will free up the others to keep em somewhat honest. When he scores and rebounds we win more times than not.

Good game, Matt!!!!!!:lobt2:

[S4Spur21]

Just thought I'd throw that out there.

[z0sa]

Matt missed his shots, other than that he did pretty damn good actually. You're stupid

matt is the only one who even put pressure on dirk's shots, everyone else just elft him open

[vander]

Tim freaking Duncan goes 2-9 for 4 points and 2 rebounds, but who do spurs fans start hate threads about?

yep, 7th man: Matt Bonner

:lmao:lmao

[Spurs Brazil]

Everybody sucks tonight

[FaithInOne]

What a waste of 7 feet.

[fraga]

Why the f*ck does Pop continue to have him guard Dirk...I mean seriously...the guy basically escorts whoever he is guarding straight to the basket...

Bonner has defended Dirk pretty well actually, Dirk isn't exactly scrub.

[Ice009]

Bonner has to be shut down for the rest of this series.

It is so fucking obvious that Dallas is feeding off of that mismatch and they love seeing Bonner start games.

Every playoff team would LOVE to see Bonner lining up on the other side of the court start.

What is so funny.

You don't think every single team in the playoffs would love to line up their C or PF opposite Matt Bonner? Opposing guards love it just as much too.

[vander]

the Spurs will win or lose this series, any series, based on the play of TIM DUNCAN. he is our 20 million dollar man, on his shoulders we ride, TP can carry us for one or two games a series; but to have a chance, we need Tim Duncan to be Tim Duncan.

we are getting every thing we paid for out of Matt Bonner, even more; you idiots need to stop using him as a scapegoat for all our problems and face the facts.

Bonner should not be starting and I don't give a shit what you think about the subject or what you say about it.

He is not anywhere near as good as Scola who we could have had for the same amount of money. There is nothing more to say about Bonner. What I said is pretty much spot on. Ask any starter in the league and I reckon they'd say they love seeing Bonner start because they feel they can score on him at will. Tim Duncan out there with him is the only determent for the other team.

Anyway, just so you know I am not disagreeing with everything you say you are 100% correct about Tim Duncan needing to play better.

[Borosai]

I hope you guys bashing Bonner have the sense not to turn around. Why? Because the moment you do, Bonner is going to lay siege to your skull by fucking your eardrum.

For some reason...Bonner seems to love to drive the opponent to one side...while totally forgetting that there's NO help defense...basically escorting the opponent right to the basket...he's good for 3's...but not much else...

At first that's what I thought...but after watching him do it TIME and TIME again...I figured he just has no idea WTF he's doing...as in forgetting what defense they're running...man to man...zone...etc...

Bonner just doing what he always does...

[SouthTexasRancher]

Yes, yes he does but, tonight there were 12 guys who sucked!!! Pathetic!

[LEONARD]

and he has the ugliest shot in basketball...and he's annoyingly white...

[objective]

Bonner's putrid game was no surprise.

Neither was his incredibly overblown game 2 performance. He wasn't hitting any shots in game 2 until Tony Parker got them a double digit lead, then the pressure was off, the games was comfortable and he was able to eek out his modest point total.

No surprise that in game 3 when the heat was on Bonner missed EVERYTHING.

He didn't knock down a basket until the Spurs were down 25. Because that's when the pressure's off.

[Johnny RIngo]

Spurs should have traded him, when he still had some value, during the all-star break.

[Texas_Ranger]

Bonner would not play 5 minutes for fucking Sacramento...And here he's playing 25 minutes... That's just wrong...

Good points....

I've been screaming about the inconsistency of the supporting cast since mid season now. One night on, another night off. These guys have one good night, and the bandwagon starts rolling. Then they suck the next night and people are wondering why....

You simply cannot afford that in the PO. It's not just Bonner though, its too many 3-10 nights from Mason and Finley as well.

In a nutshell the problem with the team is that they are forced to play nearly perfectly on a nightly basis in order to have a chance (they are #1 in the league in TO and #3 in 3-pt FG and still these offensive woes persist). Problem is, we don't have the personnel capable of doing that CONSISTENTLY. Gone are the days where we could win ugly games.

[cheney212]

While the level of Bonner's suckatude decreased tonight, I still want to see more Gooden and less Bonner.

AGREED! Gooden is a way better player

[GodFamilySPURS]

Matt Bonner needs to be cut from the team. He sucks soo bad, I hate how he starts. His once and a while 3 pointers do not make up for his lack of defense and all around play.

Matt Bonner Brings the Spurs down...

[S4Spur21]

I think this thread is appropriate.

[Spursmania]

Still blowing... Please trade his ass! Do it now!

[Borosai]

He did suck on offense tonight. He needs to be tougher.

[vander]

reading this site, one might come to the conclusion that once Matt Bonner is no longer with the Spurs, they will never be able to lose another game :lol

[benefactor]

Paging z0sa...aren't you coming to your lovers rescue?

[VaSpursFan]

it's safe to say that the bonner starting experiment is a failure, as is using your PF to drain 3's. unless we can find a younger horry in the making, it's time to use the PF position for someone who can actually score and rebound.

bonner is at best, a bench player in this league.

[MannyIsGod]

He's just asked to do too much for this team. I love Bonner, but he's not a starting four in this leauge. He's just not. He's a good guy to have playing spot minutes off the bench where he can effectively come in and mix it up. This team just expects and needs too much for him.

[45 bank shot]

please trade his ass

[Daddy]

Bonner was brought not brought onto the team for D. He does 1 thing on O. Hit the 3. He didn't do that. In fact he was awful at it. Cut em.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Bonner was brought not brought onto the team for D. He does 1 thing on O. Hit the 3. He didn't do that. In fact he was awful at it. Cut em.

Yeah, I'd excuse him if he hit his threes in crunch time. He doesn't get any better in the playoffs. He is useless. I used to not mind him as a bench guy, but if he can't even do one thing right WHEN IT MATTERS there's no point in having him.

Even Hollins and Barea have done that.

I didn't realize the fans made that trade.

actually I think just about every fan disagreed with it

[vander]

also, I have never in my life seen a player more hated by Refs than Bonner, poor guy, he breathes and they blow the whistle on him

[fotan2]

Bonner fucked us up in the last 2 minutes . letting dirk drive into the bucket easily and choking behind the arc for a couple of times , these are what he brought to the team.

[objective]

I didn't realize the fans made that trade.

actually I think just about every fan disagreed with it

The biggest Scola haters were RC and Pop.

And don't fall for the propaganda that Pop really wanted Scola but that big meanie RC wouldn't let him. Pop is still the President of Basketball Operations, still signs off on moves, is still the man in charge, and once trekked through the Slovenian wilderness to personally visit Rasho the free agent. If Pop wanted Scola, he'd be a Spur.

[Spursmania]

The guy sucks. Stop tooting his horn. He couldn't hit the side of a barn if he wanted. Regular season games are over, and he hasn't helped the Spurs at all.Just as I said weeks ago, Bonner is mentally weak and will never be a clutch player ever. He continues to prove me right.

The Spurs brought him here to spread the floor and hit threes. He's done nothing but suck all playoff long. What a joke. He should be on the bench and never starting. He proved all series long where he belongs. Can't wait to see him out of a Spurs uniform.:nope Okay Zosa's now's your chance to come and defend the Rocket.:sleep

[ElNono]

Well, it's easy to rag on Bonner these days. So I'll go ahead and do it too. :lol
I said this guy was no NBA starter material. Still boggles the mind Pops throttles him out there to start every game.
He's been a defensive liability all year long. He could score 50 points next game, and he would still be unable to redeem himself for the crap he brings on the defensive end.
I know, I know, he had a great game against the Celtics in January...

[Borosai]

Regardless of how absent Bonner has been offensively, he's still not the worst starter or defender on the Spurs. In fact, he did a good job staying in front of players most of the time out on the perimeter, including Speedy Gonzalez, which is surprising.

Bonner needs a nut check. He needs toughness. He needs some calm. He'll have a huge game 5. 100% sure. 50% guaranteed.

Give me a break. :rolleyes
How can you possibly defend him after watching him play this whole series?
The guy was pathetic as were many of the bench players. He easily ranks among one of the worst starters to ever wear a Spur uniform. Yeah, great, let's wait until game 5 for him to show up! Can't wait:lmao

[Avitus1]

sigh....

[Borosai]

WTF is wrong with you? Bonner may be the worst defender ever in the NBA. He cant defend anyone. Have you watch this year as everyone and I mean everyone goes to the hole on us? Thats cause they know all that is there to stop a bucket is Bonner. The guy has arms of someone 6-3. He has a 24inch vertical, and is a piss poor rebounder.....which is all about heart...(see 6-4 Barkley a great rebounder).

You just see effort being the same as effectiveness. Never confuse activity with accomplishment.

I never said Bonner was a great defender. I said he's not the worst defender on this Spurs team, which is correct. Watch the games, and pay attention to something other than the bouncing, leather thing. We all know he's not athletic, but he's not a turnstile like some others. If he were tougher, it would improve his game in certain ways, including defense and rebounding.

I agree he has been really bad offensively and on the boards, and he's not a shutdown defender. The way he's playing, he shouldn't be starting either, along with Finley. But he's not THE problem with this team, as some people want to make it seem.

[Spursmania]

Matt Bonner: 22 minutes - 0 Pts - 1 Rebound

Enough said.:(

[Avitus1]

Bleh!

[Ice009]

And Robert Horry couldn't have provided more than that?????????

I still think if the Spurs had Horry on the bench we'd be better off.

Horry or Barry should have come back instead of Finley. Michael has run out of gas again and basically done nothing in the playoffs like that season. Horry overall had bigger games that Michael is last season's playoffs.

Wow-what a huge disappointment. I said it then, and I'll say it again Bonner is a mentally weak player who will never be clutch. Bonner deserves to come off from the bench- he has no business playing in the starting line-up. I'll be relieved to see him out of a Spur uniform.

[Borosai]

Personally, I can deal with the iffy shooting. It happens. It's the rebounding that I don't understand. You can't be that big and not rebound. If he could've gotten 10 rebounds in those 22 mins, even without scoring a point, that would've made a difference.

[jack sommerset]

Still laughing at all the Bonner threads I saw this season. Its funny watching him guard Dirk. He looks like a horny chihuahua humping his masters leg. Just drop the loser. Move on.

you're incredibly stupid, and a straight up hater - that article gave the award to matt bonner in lieu of everyone sucking you retard. he played decent defense. They have made it a POINT OF EMPHASIS to not leave him open.

If we ever meet at a GTG, i will pick your weak ass arguments apart like nothing. here, you're just a pathetic troll. All you will do here is say "see i told you so" when you obviously don't have an ounce of understanding about how they're defending him and others - which is why you'll notice GHill got playing time and was WIDE OPEN IN CRUNCHTIME. Pop was forced to play him to see if they'd give him breathing room unlike our other shooters and they did, but I won't confuse a dumbfuck like yourself with facts. The added bonus was, like everyone predicted (except probably you, you just agree with others and never put forht a real opinion bandwagoner), he shut down Terry with those long arms and youthful speed.

THEY'RE NOT GIVING SHOOTERS SPACE, THEYRE DEMANDING THEY PUT THE BALL ON THE FLOOR AND GET TO THE HOLE, dumbass.

MASON CAN'T DO IT, FINLEY CAN'T DO IT, BONNER CAN'T DO IT. ITS A PART OF DALLAS' GAMEPLAN.

You'd think even the retarded spursfans could see that Bonner is being basically face guarded so he gets no open looks (he didn't even get 1 clean look all game, and its somehow his fault for that? Pop no doubt told him to shoot as the game was going down the stretch, even over defenders, because he hadn't even taken a shot - nothing came to him in the flow of the offense, not more than a quarter of the space he's used to)

[Spurs_9_20_21]

yes he does blow, he just isn't a starting center in this league. actually, he doesn't belong in this league.

Alright I'll give you the whole he's got no room to shoot...he's only good at WIDE OPEN looks...but that gives him NO excuse for his extremely piss poor defense...he's big...slow...and basically DUMB when it comes to guarding people...I swear the guys basically does nothing but force his opponent to one side and calmly and gently escorts them straight to the basket...

He does fucking blow.. I'm not taking back anything I've said about
this 6'10 piece of shit.
He'll find a way to fuck up in game 3 and 4..
Parker is the shit!!


Bonner game 3: 20 minutes, 4 reb., 2 points
Bonner game 4: 22 minutes, 1 reb., 0 points

I wonder how Bonner will perform in game 5?:wow

[peskypesky]

What's the excuse for his constant lack of rebounding? He's not tall enough? He's not out there to do that? He's not paid enough?

can't jump. has very short T. Rex arms.

I don't think he has a nose for rebounds. On top of that, he doesn't play with any noticeable toughness: he's not scrappy. He also spends a lot of time at the three-point line, so he's out of position much of the time. Still, he needs to step it up a notch. He still has a few more notches to go after that, with a little BAM!, but maybe not this year.
