***OFFICIAL 2011 Playoffs: "It was Bonner's Fault" THREAD***

[vander]

...or Pop's fault for playing Bonner.

because we all already know that every loss in these 2011 playoffs will be because of Matt Bonner.

:flag:

[Rummpd]

I am in for this unless Tim compensates* with 20 12 and 3 for the playoffs = Spurs are screwed = they will get by the Grizz and probably to the WCF but they will utimetely fail, and fail, hard unless either Bonner gets super hot again or Pop limits him to less than 15 a game.

*and it would not surprise me at all if TD turned back the clock so much the fears about Bonner and the front line diminish [sans Splitter playing significant minutes alongside Duncan - which is the Spurs ultimate "nuclear level" instant improvement option preferred by many of us on spurstalk.com, including myself].

[slick'81]

god damn bonner

[Texas_Ranger]

Bonner sucks. :rollin

[Spursmania]

This will be a useful thread:lol







Unfortunately:(

[yavozerb]

Got called into work on a freaking saturday, damn it Bonner...

[baseline bum]

Bonner sucks even more than vander's posts.

[silverblk mystix]

Bonner already caused the Manu injury...fuckin' a - hole...

[it's me]

Good thread tbh

Stolen from downstairs.

[Bito Corleone]

It's only Bonner's fault if Blair is on the court with him.

[Mel_13]

Remember when vander used salaries and +/- to compare Bonner's production to the combined production of the Big 3? Good times...

[baseline bum]

Remember when vander got pissed and put it in his sig after I called George Hill a dime a dozen bench player and not a starting point guard to replace Parker?



TP's best days are already behind him, and Hill is starting PG material.

:rollin



PG's who can attack the basket with speed are a dime a dozen


:lmao

[thOOdee]

It's only Bonner's fault if Blair is on the court with him.

neh.....its only blairs fault if bonner's out there with him

[xtremesteven33]

Bonner, Bonner he's our man, if he cant do it, no one can...




ah shit who am i kidding...

[Mel_13]

Or when the Spurs signed Manu to his extension and vander said:


I guess the Spurs have no desire to remain competitive after this year :wow:(

Manu will be getting paid about a million dollars for every good game he'll have :lol :depressed

:rollin

[Muser]

lol vander

lol dumbass

[DMC]

Bonner, Bonner he's our man, if he cant do it, no one can...




ah shit who am i kidding...

:lmao

[rayray2k8]

lol Vander is right

I think he's the last Bonner lover on the board... Watch him bump Bonner threads after he goes off in 1 game...

Out of 10 games...

lol Bonner

[Andy25]

Haters gonna hate. He'll perform in the playoffs.:hat

[rmt]

It's not Bonner, I'm worried about - it's Pop who puts him out there. Please Pop - no Bonner/Blair vs Randolph/Gasol or if we get there Gasol/Bynum.

I sincerely hope that Bonner makes me eat every single word I've said about him. I'll gladly eat crow. Go Spurs go.

And RJ - get your act together - it's playoff time (not disappearing time).

[Kool Bob Love]

Got called into work on a freaking saturday, damn it Bonner...

:lol

Lets go Bonner!:toast

[TE]

Even with this thread in existence, ST will have such a monumental meltdown that tons of threads will be created, if and when the Spurs lose a game primarily because of Bonner's ineptitude.

[alchemist]

he'll do his usual tank job, but Blair is the enemy of the Spurs (he's taking Splitters minutes and constantly get's blocked by opponents and the rim) not Bonner.

[cherylsteele]

As usual, you're horribly wrong.

[z0sa]

If Bonner reacts well and doesn't think, he will certainly have my support, through the thick and the thin. Y'all's fairweather friendly fire bullshit won't ever apply to me.

However, should he think instead of react even one game, essentially allowing himself to be thrown off by himself, then it is over, and Bonner is truly without allies on this board.

[alchemist]

:lmao


but, but he's the Spurs best rebounder
:rollin

[Cessation]

Bonner in the playoffs, only has comedic value, tbh. Ginger will become Z-Bo's prison bitch.

[dbestpro]

Bonner should play when the matchup dictates. That is usally against a big who likes to shoot outside.

Blair should play if he promises to pass back out every offensive rebound.

Splitter should play when we need to stop penetration and to slow down any opposing size advantage.

The problem is what should be done and what will be done are two different things.

Amen. That's why the person to worry about is Pop.

[siraulo23]

Well thought out thread :toast

This will eliminate about half of the bonner threads that's going be created anytime we lose :lol

[cherylsteele]

Mark my words, there will still be plenty of Bonner threads to go around.

[baseline bum]

No it won't.

I hope not. I'd rather have to take shit from vander for a year than watch Bonner suck in a third consecutive playoff.

[Strike]

I would love it if Bonner turned a complete 180 this time and went Bowen/Elliott/Kerr/Horry and hit a shit load of big shots and helped bring a title to San Antonio. I'd also love it if Scarlett Johannson would allow me to motorboat her tig ol' bitties while penetrating Jessica Alba's baby gap.

See where I'm going with this?

[objective]

There's more to the game than just hitting threes, which Bonner has rarely done in the playoffs.

There's defense and rebounding and making an impact in the game both in the boxscore and out. That's something Horry was masterful at. Clutch rebounding, clutch blocks (5 in a Finals game in 07 iirc), clutch defense, sneaky fouls, getting under someone's skin, driving dunks, etc. Horry could help the Spurs win a game for the Spurs without even hitting a three-pointer, Bonner never has done that.

Even if Bonner makes some threes, he most likely won't be doing all those other things. But irrational Bonner lovers won't notice that. If he knocks down 2 threes while only pulling down 3 rebounds in 30 minutes and otherwise doing nothing like the game 4 against PHX it won't matter, Bonner lovers will declare him inncredible and vomit on the forum with their nonsense.

The Spurs beat Dallas, the higher seed, with Bonner playing like Bonner-ish trash.

So TD, Parker and Manu have been able to overcome him before, for at least a round. Here's hoping he doesn't take too many minutes the rest of the way.

[ShoogarBear]

What the Spurs need is five Matt Bonners.

[pgardn]

Bonner is an excessively white sandwich eater who takes himself very seriously.

I loved when Horry would come in because I knew he was going to do work on the defensive end. With Bonner, you get weak defense (although it has vastly improved since he got here), weak rebounding (trex arms), and goofy drives to the hole which result in awkward last second passes. Even when he makes 3's, he gives up 2's on D the very next play. He gets posted up by shooting guards ffs.

I think Bonner is cool as hell and I'm happy a guy like him can make a good career in the NBA, but gd Pop is a fool.

[greyforest]

Economy is going tits up?

Thanks Bonner.

Man you hit the nail on the head. Bonner is terrible but Pop is worst. Is Pop even watching the gamefilm at all???

[Splits]

Did you see what happened in Japan at the Fuck-u-shima plant? Thanks Bonner, well done.

[WeNeedLength]

Matt Bonner. Worthless defense and rebounding. Win or lose, Bonner definitely sucks asshole. Ok he made two threes, WHERE THE FUCK WAS HE THE REST OF THE GAME. :bang

[Spurs Brazil]

Dice was the worst big today. easily

[DMC]

It's not Bonner's fault. You or I would play if they would let us. It's Pop's choice to play Bonner. Bonner is just a weak chess piece that Pop over plays.

[++SaiNt TiAg0++]

^ I AGREE
its just sad to see marc gasol do such a simple move, and totally throw matts defense for a loop then what do you have?

you have gasol underneath the basket ready to feast on a 3pt play. on that particular play tony leaves his man (b/c bonners d is terrible) and steals the ball from gasol but if he hadn't there would have been yet another teabag with bonners mouth wide open !!

what makes pop give him so many minutes in the fourth??? really !

[yavozerb]

Damn it Bonner, oh wait.....

[dbreiden83080]

It's Pops fault for playing Bonner to much. He must really think Splitter is useless beyond belief.

[dbreiden83080]

3's are all he has. When he is red Hot like in the Heat blowout in SA great leave him in but when he is getting lit up on D and his plus/minus is in the toilet as we are trailing or barely winning

sit him the fuck down and play Splitter..
