What happened to Bonner?

[Darius McCrary]

He can barely run anymore.

Did breaking his nose leave him out of shape?

His positioning on defense still shows glimpses of his solidness, as well as players hitting low percentage shots at a high clip against him.

[HarlemHeat37]

Ya, I made the same observation earlier in the season, he looks slower than ever, tbh..he looks like he's moving in cement on loose balls and rebounding..I guess it's the fact that he's 34 and was never athletic to begin with, but its painful to watch..

[UZER]

Haha he's such a chickenshit. He won't shoot unless he's wide ass open! How this dude is on the team is just mind boggling.

[Darius McCrary]

I don't think it's normal for a 34 year old quasi athlete non athletic athlete to lose that much spring in his step over such a short period like this.


But then again Bonner does not strike me as a person with a poor work ethic.

It's perplexing. Wish we had timvp's take on the situation.

[hater]

looks like the mask bothers him to the point where he became a useless sack of shit imo

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

He's almost as painful to watch as Ayres..

If errors is still on the team is 7 years...then would be the equivalent.

In what alternate world was Bonner ever good at anything besides eating sandwiches?

Wish he had a foot long subway sandwich stuffed with jalapenos shoved up his ass and kicked off the team.

The dude sucks. He has always sucked. He can make a good % of his three point shots, but that's because he's too much of a bitch to shoot if anyone is within 5 feet of him. He has always been a huge liability on defense, even more so these past two years. He pump fakes and drives in with the speed of a six year old; the other PF's just walk beside him because he's that slow. & why does he even drive in? Every team/player that we play against knows he can't do shit/ won't do shit except for that floater that he misses more often than he misses a 3 point shot. He is a known playoff choker, he had one good game against Memphis last year - that's pretty much it. Did I miss anything?

He is better than Ayres though. But they are the only two players in the league I know that can pick up five fouls in eight minutes of play.

I know. It's like he's a made man and no one in the organization wants to put a beef on him to the don.

I don't see how some people can still bitch about Bonner when we have a worse big on the team named Jeff Ayres. Who is young and should be in his prime. :lol

Bizzaro Bonner, tbh.

Ayres hasn't had the opportunity to infest his suckitude in the playoffs like Bonner has, countless times.

[timtonymanu]

I hope Ayres doesn't get that opportunity. That would be awful to watch.

At least Bonner can look like an NBA player in the regular season and the blame goes to Pop for upgrading him into a role he was never meant to play.

Laugh all you want but the Bonner of the past was great in the regular season. That's fact

Agreed, but you made points that have been known on ST for almost half a decade.
My original post was asking what happened to him to make him suck more.

I'm simply asking if ST believes he somehow fell off some huge athletic cliff, or what. I would love to hear some convincing explanation to why he fell off a cliff because I can't come up with anything.

[Sean Cagney]

Haha he's such a chickenshit. He won't shoot unless he's wide ass open! How this dude is on the team is just mind boggling.

I agree, can't stand that dude and never could. I wish he was off the team, hell years ago I wanted him off.

GREAT DAMN POST HERE!

[timtonymanu]

Bonner is definitely done as an NBA player though. There's no way he should be in the rotation in the playoffs. Its hard to do so though when you have Ayres and Baynes as the alternates.

Ok, I'll bite. He now finally realizes he is a horrible nba player but since he can get away with anything and still stay on the team, he no longer gives a fuck.

I just do not see that in his personality.

I guess occam's razor says he's old. Kinda funny considering Parker and Manu looking like glue-factory-material and Duncan still dominating.

Yeah but the big three have the ''It'' factor and its their sheer will and championship fire that carries them most of the time. Bonner's just collecting a paycheck that he'll later invest into a sandwich shop once he retires.

[Boomersgold]

Gotta' be the shoes. He should've stuck with New Balance.

[Biernutz]

He is not wearing his beloved New Balance shoes anymore.....it's like taking the cape off Superman and replacing it with a towel......

[poop]

HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN USELESS, you are just now seeing this???:lmao

Bonner was never athletic, fast, or a leaper of any kind. He's always been a 3-point specialist that can rough it up in the middle for 6 hard fouls. Nothing much has changed.

I don't think he shoots as well with the mask, so that's probably made him more selective on taking his shot. The reason he probably looks less athletic now is that you actually notice him on the court now that he's wearing his face mask. Before he was invisible. If they made an invisible face mask he'd once again disappear.

[DMC]

Haha he's such a chickenshit. He won't shoot unless he's wide ass open! How this dude is on the team is just mind boggling.

He's a smart player, one of the smartest on the team. He's managed to get decent contracts for a very very limited ability. Also, he knows his value is greatly diminished if he turns the ball over or takes a contested shot and misses, so he waits for wide open shots. Because of that he doesn't make a lot of mistakes on offense (let's not discuss defense), however because he needs more and more room to shoot, defenders only need to show on him, not actually cover him, and he's going to pass the ball.

I think he's a ball conveyor right now, and is too slow to set picks for guards who are too jittery and anxious to go, so they don't wait for him so he's been getting called on moving screens. Same is true for 5 seconds in the lane Ayres.

Almost every NBA team has a dude like Booner,A good soldier

White dudes love that stuff and they make up the majority of coaching staffs throughout the NBA

Hence guys like Booner that shouldn't be in the NBA linger around on the fringes

Think of it as equal opportunity for white dudes in the NBA cause that's all it is...

If I was Tim I woulda shipped out to greener pastures 2 or 3 seasons a go

PATFO is delusional and not serious about winning SHIPS any more...

Pop is mostly just consumed w/ seeing if the motion offense w/ plug and play characters can win a title and keeping up a rather meaningless RS win percentage though it fits w/ his character

Mostly to prove to himself that Tim isn't the reason for his success((LMFAO at that one...)

[EVAY]

Tim and Pop both love Bonner. They love his humor, his work ethic, his 'ordinariness', his self-deprecating style, etc. etc. etc.
