It would be a top 3 in any history book.. Matt "Whiter than White" Bonner being a playoff savior. lol

[Spur Bank]

That Bonner raises his arms and calls for the ball in late game situations is more than enough for me to think he doesn't give a sh!t about pressure. Just had bad luck, could happen to anyone over that number of shots.

Remember two years ago when everyone thought LeBron was a choker? Same concept -- people were making rash decisions on not enough data.

[baseline bum]

Just because Bonner lifts his arms to call for the ball doesn't mean anything. He does the same thing on defense, doesn't mean I buy him as a defender. Bonner isn't to blame, it's Pop, he runs him out there and gives him way too many minutes.

[superjames1992]

The Red Mamba is basically guaranteed playoff minutes now, tbh, with Diaw out for awhile and SJAX off the team. This is going to be classic.

[EricB]

I stand by had the Spurs won game 1 in 2011 against Memphis, bonner with his shots would have loosened up a LOt and would be a different player. Maybe not. Who knows.

[benefactor]

Seriously...fuck Bonner. The day he's traded or waived can't get here soon enough. I have zero faith in him to do anything other than shit the bed.

[jestersmash]

It's weird, part of me realizes that historically his playoff 3 point shooting leaves much to be desired, but at the same time I strangely feel at ease when I see him hoist of a 3 simply because I know he's put so much time into practicing that shot.

Bonner's 3 point shooting was fine in '11-'12 (34.8%) and solid in '09-'10 (37%), so at least we know he's not totally incapable of producing in the playoffs. If he hits > 37% of his 3s, I'll be happy. That's more than acceptable efficiency from 3. I mean, 40% is considered elite.

[hooperflash]

Well it would make the Championship DVD/Blu-Ray interesting... I'll donate to the Ronald McDonald House to get myself one of them Matty B cups. I need a drink, tbh.

[timtonymanu]

I will gladly dye my hair red and buy myself a Matt Bonner jersey if he delivers in the playoffs, but I'm confident he won't.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol we should have an agreement that every ST poster dyes their hair red if Bonner helps the Spurs get to the WCFs, tbh..

[ShoogarBear]

15-20 MPG of Matt Bonner in the playoffs is just what the doctor ordered.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. But fool me 1000000 times...?

What are you guys talking about? He lost that contest and missed the shots when they mattered the most, just like he always does.

[therealtruth]

What are you guys talking about? He lost that contest and missed the shots when they mattered the most, just like he always does.

Tbh Bonner's showing in the contest would have been good enough to win it the past few years. Irving was historically on fire for that contest.

[superjames1992]

The Red Mamba played well tonight, tbh. Hope he can keep it up as we will need him.

How many times have we heard or read this before...and again, BEFORE the playoffs?

[freetiago]

Kings are a bad defensive team that played 2 bigs, the one guarding Bonner reluctant to leave the paint
de cola also doing the rookie year cory joseph with bad penetration and bail out passes to bon bon

Bonner is the easiest player to game plan for and once the playoffs start and he chokes he makes it even easier

[TheGoldStandard]

Playoff Bonner means 4 on 5 basketball.

[superjames1992]

How many times have we heard or read this before...and again, BEFORE the playoffs?
Would you have rather him been 0-5 tonight? Like it or not, with Diaw's injury, he will likely see some time this year in the playoffs, so let's just hope for the best.

[wut]

Come on Matty, it's your year my nigga !!..

Anybody else believe, tbh?..

No?..ya:lol..
i was just thinking the same thing...this could be Bonner's big playoff season. He's fully rested, he hasn't played enough to get into a slump mentally, so if he starts hitting some shots in the playoffs, he may just get hot!

[playblair]

props bonner................... the haters will become believers................ blair & bonner 2013 playoffs x factors..............................

[Two10Whitey]

^ Hell nah. Baynes > Blair & Bonner.

[SenorSpur]

Playoff Bonner means 4 on 5 basketball.

It always has and it always will. Every summer I hope and pray that this is the summer the Spurs come to their senses and jettison this guy. While it's clear that Bonner is a severely-flawed, non productive player, who is merely taking up a roster spot, I'm not going to get my hopes up again that the Spurs will suddenly come to their senses this summer and finally get rid of him.

[DPG21920]

You are thinking of the RRT preview I do. I went back and forth about doing it but I decided not to this year. The gnsf up here were especially bad this year so I felt as if my efforts would be casting pearls before swine. I could probably put together a West preview but the whole Jack situation has dampened my enthusiasm quite a bit. I'll think about it.

As little confidence as I have in Bonner, we need to root for him as Diaw is injured and Jack is out. Everything needs to be said in context. Right now, anybody who is professional off the court and plays hard on the court is much needed.

[vander]

bonner will shoot the spurs to #5

I predict 50% 3 point shooting from bonner in the playoffs

[maverick1948]

I guess one more time won't hurt. In 2012 playoffs, Bonner played in good minutes(1 min doesnt count) for 11 games. We had a record of 10 wins and 1 loss. Pop pulled him and stuck in the favorite thug of all you non basketball people. Jackson was 0-3 when he got the minutes instead Bonner. So for all you haters, suck on that. If Jackson was so great why didnt he lead the Spurs by the thunder. HE couldn't get it done. Bonner was better than Jax and still is.

[silverblk mystix]

Oh, are you guys kidding?

This is ABSOLUTELY Bonners year....uh-huh.

[Budkin]

[superjames1992]

Another fair game for the Red Mamba. His shots are certainly falling as of late, though his rebounding and defense left a lot to be desired last night. Then again, he was defending Gasol and Dwight, so that's never easy.

[UZER]

Blah, he aint gonna do a damn thing in the playoffs, those who think he will are just dumb by now. I like his game at times during the year, but when it comes down to it he is some shit.

[siraulo23]

First of all let me just say that I believe bonner is a playoff choker who cracks under pressure

But I have a theory on why bonner might continue to play relatively well this year compared to his usual April to playoffs choking. This year he has seen his mins significantly reduced and hasn't played significant mins unless its because pf injuries. Maybe, he's been a great regular season guy these last few years and choked from April onwards because his body is worn down at that point of the long nba season

Maybe we'll see a different bonner in the POs this year

Then again maybe not :lol it's bonner we talking about after all :lol

[UZER]

If Bonner plays well in the POs, its blind luck like a blind squirrel finding a nut. He is what he is, a playoff choker. But even at that, you would have to think its impossible to choke every...single...year of your career. At some point the odds just say you have to play good out of pure percentages, no?

But still....fuck Bonner.

Another good outing shooting the basketball by the Red Rocket/Mamba, tbh...

[skyhook]

I will support Bonner. His threes are fantastic. I hope he gives a good performance against DH or Gasol, by raining 3s or by being more physical. We have not seen bonner foul out often. He has to foul out when necessary, and no easy and1s for them.

[racm]

Should have seen this coming tbh... Bonner didn't choke on national TV when he competed in the 3 Point Shootout

[Brunodf]

His D was bad but he made 50% of his shots.

[wut]

I've been telling everyone this is the year of the Bonner. Bonner usually goes on a hot streak then goes through a low period where he loses his confidence in his shot. The good news, is that Pop didn't play Bonner long enough this year for Bonner to even get hot, which means his increased playing time in the playoffs could lead to a hot streak, with not enough time for Bonner to lose his confidence. I'm telling you guys bank on it, it's Bonner's breakout year in the playoffs!

[Brazil]

So far so good. Props for the dagger 3 tbh

[Seventyniner]

I don't trust it. He couldn't even make a three-pointer when he got to take them one point at a time.

[dylankerouac]

He has the ability. Keep at it Bonner.

[HI-FI]

imo, i think if he can get that layup or mid range shot here and there, his 3 will start falling big time. in the past he just tried to hit that 3 and everytime it missed, you could tell he lost confidence. if he can get a layup, get some key rebounds plus make a 3 here and there, he could be really beneficial.

I can not understand why the Lakers didn't pound the ball in against him. The few times they did it was successful.

The Lakers are such a dumb basketball team, tbh. It is one of their biggest weaknesses.

[Robz4000]

Bonner actually played solid D in the first half. In the second he got switched onto Gasol and he stuck it to him. However, despite his scoring, what really stuck out to me was one sequence in the third quarter where he got two offensive rebounds in a row. They didn't score any points off of it but it wasn't for a lack of effort/ability from Bonner. Hat's off to the Red Rocket. :toast

Tbh, Bonner is alright.. nobody bitched about Danny Ferry when he played for us and Bonner is pretty much the same player Ferry was. There's a time and a place for his skillset which is ok as long as he is not playing the majority of the minutes at his position this year. I think the Bonner hate is no longer warranted.
