The Official "I hope Matt Bonner does this in the playoffs" thread

[phxspurfan]

M. Bonner 24:19 6-7 6-7 0-0 +26 0 5 5 1 1 1 0 0 0 18

Let's see... 24 minutes, 18 points, 5 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 assist and 6/7 from three. We could really use that against the Lakers, Mavs and Magic





that's right, I said Magic

[underdawg]

I'm not a big fan of Bonner - I think his large amount of playing time is counter productive to the strength of good Spurs teams in the past, but his confidence is at an all time high and it's proving to be an important strength of the Spurs 2011.

He's at the point now that it's more likely he'll be this consistent in the playoffs than not. I just hope he's not forced fed minutes at times when he's more of a liablity on defense than him being an asset on offense.

[TampaDude]

Bonner is shooting .513 from beyond the arc...that's just INSANE!!!

[realtimmyfan]

Consistency from the 3 pt line is the key to beat LA/Mavs in the WCF.

[underdawg]

Bonner is shooting .513 from beyond the arc...that's just INSANE!!!

it's top notch, but Korver was at .536 last year and Kapono was .514 in 2007

[ElNono]

I'm not a religious person... But, let us pray...

[silverblk mystix]

I gotta co-sign this....hope Bonner keeps proving me wrong as I have not been a Bonner supporter all season ...

but hope Bonner has turned the corner and his choking days are behind him...

[Spurs7794]

I still think his choking is overstated. He was terrible in the 09 playoffs but in 2010, he didn't shoot amazing but he had several games with multiple threes in them. Then games 3 and 4 against Phoenix, he was great and had about 15 pts in each game.

[gospursgojas]

Signed.

[crc21209]

If Bonner can do what he did tonight in the Playoffs, the Spurs will be unbeatable....unbeatable.....

[gospursgojas]

if bonner can do what he did tonight in the playoffs, game over

I understand your view. At some point in the game when the Spurs three ball was cooling down,and the ball was not being moved as much he needed to get benched so Blair could come in with his defense and inside game.

[mingus]

i've got a gut feeling that this is the year it comes together for Bonner in the playoffs. he might only bring one thing to the table, but he's having an historically good season in terms of 3 point %. anybody know what the record is for a season?

[haveblue]

They should have played the Coach B theme song during the game. That would have been epic.

[m33p0]

make it happen... make it happen... make it happen...

[Splits]

If Matty continues to get good looks, he is the last person I'm afraid of disappearing in the playoffs. He's taken the road of hard knocks, is one of the smartest players in the league, and is shooting with ridiculous confidence. Can't wait to see him shit all over ST in the playoffs.

[Silver&Black]

It's simple....I'll buy a Bonner jersey if this happens in the playoffs. Home and Away....

[PublicOption]

should this be the "Official Red Rocket Anthem"

+1.

[mathbzh]

I was just looking at the Spurs 3s vs Heat... and I can't figure out how a defense can let Bonner wide open on all his 3s.

that's right, I said Magic

Bonner has been great this year behind the arc, but I really think the shooting of Neal and improved shooting of Jefferson and Hill has contributed to his success and vice versa. If Ginobili regains his stroke behind the arc, look out!

I agree about the Magic, I actually think they could take the East.
Their game is so similar to the Spurs. When they get rolling beyond the 3pt line, they can overwhelm you.

[Spursmania]

Has anyone ever seen Bonner light it up against LA or the Mavs? How about in the palyoffs?

I am still praying he can do this in the playoffs. But my reluctance has always stemmed from his playoff performance. I hope he turns me into a Bonner fan, but I can't do it unless he proves himself in the playoffs.

I'd like nothing more than to eat my words and celebrate the new and improved Red Rocket:toast

[spursbird]

Don't worry. Novak is the backup of the Red Rocket.

He played well and confidently against LA in his one game against them this year. Didn't go insane like against Miami but I think he was 2/3 on 3's and 3/4 overall.

[DrSteffo]

Bonner is red hot. I see absolutely no reason why he can't go beserk again in the POs.

[TampaDude]

Bonner is gonna light it up in the playoffs just like he has all season long, no worries.

This is our year. FIVE!

[Johnny RIngo]

He won't.

[Booharv]

I approve of this thread.

[dbreiden83080]

Bonner has played well this year

Spurs fans need to stop shitting on him..

[mathbzh]

I agree with that. Unlike the last playoff runs we will always have a lot of offensive power on the floor. Defenses may tightened but teams will have some problem to pack the paint AND defend the 3 pt line.
Playoffs or not, if Bonner is wide open he will make his 3s.

[spurs10]

The Red Rocket has got it going on this season. Have no fear!

Actually Bonner's been the one shitting on his haters with his play these days...

Bonner states 3-point case (http://blog.mysanantonio.com/spursnation/2011/03/05/bonner-states-3-point-case/)
Mike Monroe

He had just made 6 of 7 of his 3-point shots and raised his league-leading long-distance shooting average to a remarkable 51.3 percent. But after Matt Bonner finished a long postgame shower on Friday, he found the path to his locker blocked by a media horde surrounding Tim Duncan.

Scowling, he waited until Duncan was finished answering questions and the reporters had dispersed before settling in for a media scrum of his own.

“You mean you finally want to talk to me?” he said, feigning anger.
