bad, stanky eggo.

bukkake

[AussieFanKurt]

gotta give him some props. 2nd game back and hasnt missed outta 7 attempts from 3. nice matt

[lefty]

Disappointing performance

He should have made 200% of his 3's considering how open he was

[thispego]

Yep, bonners fault spurs haven't won 6 consecutive titles

[AussieFanKurt]

Disappointing performance

He should have made 200% of his 3's considering how open he was

Good logic

[silverblk mystix]

Props to Bonner-but I still see the bad.

The good: Obviously the win and Bonner going 7 for 7. Can't argue against this performance.

The bad: Splitter didn't get back in the game and I just don't buy Bonner ever doing this again. The result might end up being Splitter losing a lot of development time as Pop stubbornly tries for Bonner magic again-while the spurs get beat up by other physical teams.

IF-and this is a big IF....

BUT IF Pop can expertly play Bonner when he is on and still find minutes for Tiago when Bonner starts sucking...then this will be a good season.

If Pop neglects Tiago and Bonner ends up choking...then it will be the same as the last couple of years.

I am happy to have eaten crow tonight-and major props to Bonner tonight but I worry that it will end up being fool's gold.

[Zzakk's Garage]

Pop isn't going to "forget" to play Tiago.

[ElNono]

He was stretching the floor for our Power Forward: Richard Jefferson :lol

[jeebus]

He was stretching the floor for our Power Forward: Richard Jefferson :lol
I hate when pop goes with that line up.

[vander]

only 4 rebounds, so he still totally sucks; also no blocks, we need marcus camby or someone who can jump really high :lmao

[EricB]

So he Shouldve benched bonner to play splitter according to this guy's logic. That's awesome. More great commentary.

[easy7]

He shot ok tonight, all he needs to do now is to stop becoming a liability on defense. :flag:

[MaNu4Tres]

Matty had a career night-- I'll be surprised if he ever puts on a performance like that again.

That being said, he still shouldn't see minutes ahead of McDyess or Splitter in the future unless he catches fire like that again or if McDyess or Duncan sits out or if Splitter, Blair or McDyess gets in foul trouble. ( That's all the "or's" for now)


All in all, great game Matty :tu

[benefactor]

I have no problem with him being in the game if he is hitting his shots or it's not the playoffs.

[yavozerb]

Matt did exactly what most of the educated ST members have been saying all along...Make 3's, spread the floor, and open the lane for drives by manu, rj, and TP. Some nights he is effective and some nights he will not be. Great option to have and well worth the price he is being paid.

[The_Worlds_finest]

Jerk offs, who lack knowledge of ball. The role that fits bonner is what he did tonight. Hit threes off the bench.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Someone post that 4CC picture of Matt Bonner doing karate kicks and shooting threes with babies on the court.

:rollin :rollin :lmao CLASSIC

[itzsoweezee]

He's a one trick pony. He can't rebound, and he can't defend. He hurts the team more than helps unless he's making threes, which, based on his long record, means he's useless in an important game. Stay glued to the bench.

[TJastal]

Mighty impressive game from Bonner, props to him. He was hot tonight and the spurs rode his back to an easy win. If Bonner can have a handful of hot shooting games where he sparks the spurs to victory he'll have earned half his paycheck.

The other half he'll earn when he proves he can do this when it matters in the playoffs (at least shoot a respectable 40%). Only then will he have earned his full paycheck.

And I hope people keep things in perspective, and not start counting on this type of performance from Bonner every night. The spurs aren't going to ride Matt Bonner to a championship, they are going to need Splitter's defense, Blair's rebounding, & McDyess' toughness even more IMO.

[awktalk]

This team can't win without an active Matt Bonner. Period. He is the key to our success.

Bullcrap. When Bonner was out the spurs were 7-1. Bonner is a luxury, not a necessity. When he's red-hot like he was tonight he can make winning games alot easier, but I wouldn't say he's necessary, the spurs still have the personnel to win games obviously.

[GhosTown]

Nice game by Bonner, but he had to start hitting shots at some point. Too bad he can't do it in the playoffs when it matters.

IMO the issue some Spurs fans(not me) with Bonner is they want him to be a complete player and hate on him because hes not. And until this year Bonner was used way too much in seasons past, partially due to the overall lack of depth the Spurs have at the 3, and 4 spots. Playing Bonner too many minutes exposes his less than impressive rebounding and defensive skills. Now with the addition of Splitter, along with Dyess, and Blair, Bonner will hopefully have similar nights and be a 4 that comes off the bench and provide a offensive spark. Playing Bonner spot minutes, provided hes hitting his 3's is an asset to the Spurs. With the Spurs solid depth at the 3 and 4 spots this year, Bonner won't be overextended and instead be a scoring spark off the bench.

Matt Bonner has shot 40% for us from 3 for the past two years. Matt Bonner is shooting 80% this year. I think he can keep up that pace and win the Spurs their 5th by continuing to shoot 80% from 3. This is Matt Bonner's team.

Uh.... ahh... ya.., YAH. I get you now. ::lol

Never have I been more convinced that youre fully retarded.

Props to Bonner! 7/7 is just amazing. I guess it doesnt matter if he hits 100% of his shots though, because he still has red hair.

Moreover, if Bonner can increase his minutes to 48 and his 3PT percentage to 90, then we might go 81-1 this season. BENCH Splitter.

You know, I think you just might be on to something. We need to get you a direct line to Pop. Shape up this team please sir.

[diego]

i saw the game from about the 8 minute mark in the 2nd quarter...
Bonner obviously shot well and didnt hesitate, and even had several quality defensive plays.

BUT, in the second quarter when playing with blair, the lack of rebounding and inside presence was allowing OKC to slaughter us. In the gamethread i commented on it, but the dig wasnt on bonner / blair, it was on pop for pairing them.

Over the years now it seems most reasonable people's criticism of bonner has more to do with how pop uses him (that, and the choking). the fact will always remain, that bonner is a role playing big man lacking in rebounding/length/athleticism/toughness, playing on a team (that has been?) lacking in rebounding/length/athleticism/toughness from its role player big men. So long as pop puts him in roles where he needs to provide that, there will be criticism because he has shown time and time again that's not his game.

[G-Dawgg]

..don't make me beat you like a red-headed stepchild......

[DrSteffo]

Agreed the Bonner and Blair combo is not ideal. Looking at the +/- Bonner was +14, Blair 0. Hopefully Splitter will give us another option which is more solid defensively.

[Em-City]

great shooting yes, but still a major liability on D, and pop pulled him out in the 4th for that reason.

it was like everyone was playing a man, and bonner decided to zone. he was switching off his man at all the wrong times.


still... happy to see him put on a good shooting display.


but seriously, if he could pick up the D a little bit, he'd be a good weapon off the bench

Let's cut Bonner some slack here, he's a lock down defender when he isn't guarding anybody.

lol lol
lol

lol

that shitz so funny dammmm

exactly wut i wuz gunna say

[Ditty]

He looks like he lost some weight, and his shot looked a little different on the release but I loved it. His defense looked decent yesterday on pick and rolls he stood in front of the other guards. I just remember him getting scored on twice. One was an easy drive the other was was a tough shot. Keep it up Bon.

[yavozerb]

:lol, seems like whoever you talk shit about seems to prove you wrong time and time again..I say keep up the good work with all the nonsense you seem to think up and our championship chances will go up as well..

[99-03-05-07]

if he is making 3's he is an asset, if he isn't making 3's he is a liability

[2centsworth]

My problem with Bonner has never been about his regular season performances. As the lovers will constantly remind you of his game in Boston 2 or 3 years ago.

My problem is that he's a total non-factor in the playoffs. His shooting percentages dropped dramatically and he disappears when we need him most.

It's not his fault the talent level has been soft for the spurs that past few years, so he was relied on more. However, this year, with the young talent we have, Bonner should strictly be a 3 ball specialist and that's all. If he aint hitting send his ass to the bench.

Pop pulled hime out because he went micro-small in Q4, with RJ as the lone "big". Plus he had hit 25 minutes in his second game abck from injury.

Bonner plays good position defense, but he can't jump, which limits his effectiveness.

Matt Bonner: The sandwich makes the shooter (http://blog.mysanantonio.com/spursnation/2010/11/15/bonner-the-sandwich-makes-the-shooter/)
by Jeff McDonald

...Moreso than what he ate Sunday afternoon, Bonner credits something that happened Saturday night for his OKC breakout. On the front end of a back-to-back, the Spurs blew out Philadelphia at the AT&T Center, allowing Bonner — in his first game back after missing two weeks with an ankle sprain — to get 15 minutes of uninterrupted court time.

Against Philly, Bonner shook off the rust that had accumulated during his time on the injured list. He was cocked and ready to fire in Oklahoma City.

“I put it back to the night before,” Bonner said. “We got out to a big lead, which gave me a chance to play 15 consecutive minutes and get back in rhythm.”

Props to Bonner! Hope he continues to do well, but let's wait till playoff time when Bonner seems to disappear! :(

[Lizard]

It would be nice to see Bonner, Jefferson, Anderson, Neal and Manu on the floor at the same time. It might open up the lane.

[BackHome]

Bonner has always been a good bench player who had for what ever reason had to play starting minutes and guard opposing teams centers. He is not a starter and he is not a CENTER but is a good bench player that we can use to win certain games and yes he has played good so far this year.

[angelbelow]
