Your Spurs thoughts

[spurspokesman]

Just an open ended thread. I just feel iffy about this team due to many of our guys inconsistencies. It truly grieves me that RJ and bonner get paid what they due. They should both hand there checks to the rookie out of Towson. Please share all.

[Cessation]

Your eyes are lying, bonner is an underrated defencive player, he's part of the spurs best defencive lineup this year.

[TampaDude]

The Lakers WILL catch us.

[rayray2k8]

The Lakers WILL catch us.

:rolleyes

[Reck]

Good game overall.

Denver had to play their guts out to just catch up, even with the refs on their side.

This loss didn't bothered me much.

[DesignatedT]

The Lakers WILL catch us.

want 2 bet?

Really dont care for +-. Bonner sucks. He is a hell of a shooter but for his size he offers nothing else. By the way he gives back everything he gives to the person he is defending night in and out. I hope he makes me eat my words but my eyes and others see that he is crawling back in his shell

[silverblk mystix]

I really wish that Bonner was the one with the sprained ankle...

hate on me all you want but I really hope that Bonner gets injured...

it is the ONLY way to a title...

Take Pop's crack away from him ---he can't help himself....

otherwise...the spurs might get close this year but BONNER will doom them in the end.

He has not been a hell of a shooter lately, infact he misses all his shots lately it seems! Playoffs coming so Bonner chokes it seems.

[Spursmania]

This team would never beat us with Timmy. Pop stayed small which sucked. Be prepared to lose the next 2 games.

Dice won't be getting much rest and Hill and Blair need to step it up. Oh, and Bonner will always be the same old choke Bonner we have seen in the previous playoffs but would love for him to prove me wrong. That is all.

They are 6 back, without Timmay and the way the Spurs are playing do you not doubt it ? I mean it is possible by any means! They are not that far behind if we lost another three in a row which could happen! Then only three back! MAN FUKK THIS SHYT GO SPURS GO! GET SOME WINS TO CLOSE THIS OUT!

Next three games we would easily lose, could! Then LA down 3 with how many left? That is not outta the realm the catch us now.

[TampaDude]

We're going to lose at least the next two games, folks, and they won't even be close.

[Splits]

This came down to key possessions in the final 2 minutes. Pop managed the clock poorly. Tony took a poor shot and missed. Manu missed a step-back 3 which he makes like 30% of the time. Pop had a play to call with 6 seconds left which ends up in the backcourt and Manu taking a horrible 3 because there was no play called to get the inbounds within 30 feet of the basket. I primarily blame Pop for the loss on the weak clock management and play calling. But Manu and Tony too for missing in the clutch.

Oh well, just 1 game. Loss number 14. Who cares? HCA is a lock.

[Fpoonsie]

you went from RuffReady to MexicanJunior in a single thread....

[taps]

I mostly didn't have a problem with the (frontline /edit) lineups in the first 3 quarters

Why not burn tiago's fouls as well?

otherwise glad it was close and can't wait to see td splitter in action

[ElNono]

The positive is that we competed in a hard place to play at, against a team that's been playing very well... I also loved every minute of Dice out there.
The loss didn't really burn as bad.

The negative is watching with my own eyes the confirmation of Matty being given a very important role in this team, which is the reason I didn't want to re-sign him. I just knew Pop wouldn't be able to help himself, and so the only way for this not to happen was to move him.

Some of us said at the beginning of the year that the re-signing of Bonner was a huge mistake, but people would just tell us to STFU because he would only be the 5th big situational end of the bench player.

Just lol...

Even though the playoffs haven't begun, I defy ANYONE to try and build a case why his teammates, coaches or fans should have any faith in his red-headed ass. For all Bonner's regular season success and playoff suckiness, he was rewarded with an unjustified 4-yr contract.

It pains me when I see other players struggle to get a look or a contract, when a guy like Bonner, who is a proven mental midget, get rewarded for no apparent reason.

You could write an entire book on a team going from Robert Horry to Matt Bonner. I mean talk about opposite sides of the spectrum.

Hell, Anthony Tolliver >>> Matt Bonner.

[SenorSpur]

Yeah, the first sign of a slump, they cut Tolliver's ass. Yet Bonner gets a 4-yr deal for two years of phantom regular season success and playoff failings.

Essentially, they kept this 6-10 spaz in favor of Mahinmi. Yeah, I said it again. The Spurs banished a young big, for a guy one-dimensional guy, who cannot hit shots on the road, when he's open and in pressure situations.

Before Pop allowed his team to morph into the new version of the Warriors, the Spurs could've been better served with some additional post presence, rebounding and defense.

There's absolutely no justification for Bonner being given a new contract.

[stnick2261]

One of the best lineups I've seen the Spurs play all year is 3 guards plus Bonner and Duncan. The 3 guards cause a mismatch in the open court for easy baskets... when that doesn't work, they all cause spacing for Duncan's post presence to work.

This lineup does not work when you substitute any other big for Duncan.

Bonner should not play when Duncan does not play.

Didn't you just have a thread about betting against the Spurs a few weeks ago, under the guise that you were a huge Spurs fan, but....I can't remember your rationalizations. When you lose your $1000, which poetic justice is going to make happen, go back and read all your sorry bandwagon bullshit you've been spewing. If you are not completely embarrassed by your phoniness and pretentiousness, you have a major problem! You need to bend over for your boys in gold n' blue and take it like the faker you are. I thought you were a fan...bullshit....you are faker bullshit artist.

[Cessation]

I think pop, thought he could eventually teach bonner to be effective when it matters most, since bonner is such a pussy, and will do anything pop says. Unfortunatelly, you can't teach something like that, either you have it or you dont. Stephen Jackson, Horry, Mario Ellie, Ginobli, they have it, Bonner doesn't, and never will, no matter how many chances he gets. Also, he's just happy to be in the nba, and collecting 4 mil a year. He already overachieved, as far as he's concerned, if he never hits another three in his life.

Even though Bonner started out the year well, I still really hated his contract and was surprised by it. If the guy didn't want to come back for less, then fuck him. He could have signed somewhere else. Giving him that contract shows that Pop and co thought he was THAT important, like he was irreplaceable. It's disgusting really. He was shit against Dallas in 2009. He made Channing Frye look like an all-star in the Phoenix series yet here he is rewarded with a 4 year contract. I didn't understand their motive at the time and I still don't know why.

[TDMVPDPOY]

It's funny because I actually thought that after 2 years of playoff choking that the Spurs brass would have pondered over resigning him - or maybe even forcing him to settle for less. Instead they quickly inked him to a 4-yr deal. In recalling the public statements by the front office, they acted as thouigh they had just re-upped a key piece of the rotation. After hearing them gush over Bonner and why he was so important to the team, one would've thought they were gushing over the reincarnated carcase of Robert Horry.

I didn't want to believe it then and still can't believe it now - just how much this coaching staff continues to delude themselves about this guy. He's a mental midget and probably will always be. However, they keep enabling him by the big contract and force-feeding him undeserved minutes. It's pretty obvious that Bonner is Pop's sacred cow.

[spurs10]

You'd really like to believe that, wouldn't you? :lol
Believe what? That you should be embarrassed by your about face from "we got this, book it" to the Lakers (still down 6 by the way) are going to "threepeat" just because you are stupid enough to bet "$1000" on it. Yes I believe you are an embarrassment on every level imaginable. Is that the question? If so, a resounding yes from all Spurs fans I'm sure.

Seriously, please do. Then read your own "book it" bullshit and tell me who should be embarrassed. I've never said we've got this championship in our back pocket. I know it's not going to be easy, if it's even possible. Everyone jumped ship in 2005 as well. Timmy being down is horrible in every way, but if our guys can't find a way to win about 6 more games, then we'll be in 2nd place. So be it, but I don't see that happening. My point is you can't jump ship because Tim got hurt or we lost our 14th game at the end of March. I've always respected your optimism before now.

No way.

[alamo50]

If RJ doesn't step up the coming week with Timmy out, he'll be gone next season.

[Cessation]

I was one of those, that didn't think bonner was such a bad signing, but with playoffs coming and yet another predictable choke job on its way like all the other years he's been here, no choice but had to change my mind.

[SenorSpur]

So that makes 3 chokers? Bonner, Hill and RJ?

[E-RockWill]

If RJ doesn't step up the coming week with Timmy out, he'll be gone next season.

RJ needs to step up big time from here on out. He needs to make himself a factor.

[ALVAREZ6]

The San Antonio Suns are going nowhere fast....can't wait until they go down as one of the best regular season teams to not do shit in the playoffs. Way too many threes. Manu for some reason has fallen in love with the 3, but I hope it's only something he's doing in the regular season and something he'll stop doing as often when it truly counts. I hope he's just saving his body for the playoffs, because if in the postseason he isn't all up in that paint's ass every single game just like Tony, this team is going nowhere. It's just impossible to stay that hot from 3 as a team throughout the championship run. 50-60% of his 3PTA should go to Gary Neal, he seems to know when and when not to take a 3. What I've noticed through many games is that when Manu starts a game hot, he basically uses it as an excuse to take a slew of jack ass forced, stupid shots. He's got to play with more discipline when he's hot and use it to his advantage to help the team.

Oh yeah, and the Lakers are totally gonna rape us in a 7 game series with their height and length. The Spurs simply cannot match up with Gasol, Bynum, and Odom. And Tim going down with an ankle injury like this definitely hampers the team, his ankle won't be as strong for the playoffs, not that they ever were.

In short: I'm not feeling so confident.

And they can't match our backcourt or bench. This team will be different for the playoffs they've been there enough to know the difference.

They have some good role players, and their advantage in the frontcourt counts for much more than our bench advantage, especially in a 7 game series. Can't expect to knock down 15 threes per game throughout the playoffs, however, the Lakers bigs and long wings (kobe, barnes, artest) will be d-ing it up and rebounding every single game, that's for sure.
