matt bonner looks done, tbh....

[Floyd Pacquiao]

He's shooting 20% from 3, cant rebound, looks even slower and whiter than before.... dudes done and needs to get taken out behind the woodshed.

[hater]

yet he's still better than Ayres :pctoss

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

4th best big on the team, tbh.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

And daye sadly, which is why he'll continue to get minutes

[RD2191]

Bonner, Daye, Ayres are all done.

[hater]

didn't Ayres need to have started sometime in order to be done??

[Kawhi]

He had a +6 though:wakeup

[hater]

He had a +6 though:wakeup

yup. he just knows the plays that's why he gets playing time. Knows where to go and stays out of ppls ways. imo

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Spurs need to trade cojo for a legit stretch 4 that can actually hit 3s.

[hyhy]

Still an effective regular season player EVEN if he doesnt hit threes

[spursparker9]

Too early to say.

At least wait till his match up with Ibaka

[MI21]

He truly, legitimately is still better than Ayres.

[DrunkTXLabrat]

Re-signing Bonner while Bertans was a free agent was fucking stupid. It won't cost a championship. But it's just nonsensical.

[Cry Havoc]

Best thing about Bonner is his white guy attributes (BBIQ and effort). He's going to be in position for a rebound and fight for it, and he's not going to make seriously bone-headed plays out there.

That said, yeah, he's on the last rung of his belt, and it's frayed and cracking.

[superbigtime]

As bad/limited/lame he has been his whole career, he has really become useless.

[manufan10]

He did a pretty good job guarding Blake Griffin on Monday. :downspin:

[ChumpDumper]

Well, yesterday Parker was done according to ST, so.....

[urunobili]

Once he hits 3 threes in a single game he'll be ok tbh

[Uriel]

He's shooting 20% from 3, cant rebound, looks even slower and whiter than before.... dudes done and needs to get taken out behind the woodshed.
:lol

[Uriel]

I have this theory on Bonner and reverse racism. If Bonner was black and didn't have red hair, nobody would be calling him soft.

[beirmeistr]

Still an effective regular season player EVEN if he doesnt hit threes

Yes, he is rusty right now, but his size, knowledge of the system, and 3 point shot makes him a great bench player player for his salary.

[DesignatedT]

Still better than Ayres although that's not saying much.

[Johnny RIngo]

His shot is broken. That's the only real issue. Seems to be a problem with a lot of our players atm. Green is also real cold right now.

[Fireball]

also better than Daye ...

[FireMicoHalili]

Okay friends, just so everyone knows who else is available to replace Ayres, Daye, and Bonner:
1. Dante Cunningham (has no offcourt issues at all)
2. Jermaine O'Neal (knees are perfect)
3. Rashard Lewis (a sniper with A LOT to offer on the defensive end)
4. Emeka Okafor (a spring chicken)
5. Andrew Bynum (highly-motivated pivot player)
6. Ivan Johnson (lots of offense to go with good defense)
7. JEFF ADRIEN (no issues with this guy)
8. Quincy Miller (proven)
9. Aaron Gray (Pop liked him once, when he was still at Pitt)
10. Bj Mullens (legitimate stretch-4)
11. Carlos Delfino (dunno what happened to this guy, was a good shooter in HOU)
12.Bernard James (clearly a finished product)
13. Earl Clark (worth the 14th selection in his draft)
14. Damion James (clearly better than Daye)
15. Tyrus Thomas (STILL has a lot of potential)

[dabom]

People still use plus minus like it means shit. Bonner should just start over tim duncan if thats the case.

[FromWayDowntown]

Matt Bonner is sort of the perfect Popovichian Spur role player. Stays ready, plays hard without regard to whether he's successful or not, knows where to be and what to do, and doesn't bitch about his role.

With that in mind -- from the Remarkable Stat Department: when Matt Bonner is done with the Spurs, he'll be in the top 15 in franchise history in:

Games (8th)
Minutes (12th or 13th)
Field Goals (13th)
Field Goal Attempts (15th)
3 point Field Goals (3rd)
3 point Field Goal Attempts (likely 3rd)
3 point FG% (likely 8th-10th)
Rebounds (14th or 15th)
Points (14th or 15th)

He will also be 6th in the rich history of this franchise in playoff appearances and may even surpass the 100 playoff game plateau on his way to that distinction. He will have made more playoff appearances for the Spurs than anyone other than Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, David Robinson, or Bruce Bowen.

None of that says that he's been particularly good, but hate him or not, he's one of the longest-tenured Spurs in the history of the franchise and will be a Spur for life.

[UZER]

Corporate knowledge, spacing the floor blah blah blah. Yes I know all the nuance things he "supposedly" does... but

Dammit, he's primarily out there to hit wide open 3s and never fucking does. He's like those sheep that freeze and fall over when spooked.

I'm still waiting for the one Bonner playoff moment to redeem all these years, but it's never gonna happen.

Bonner has always been garbage. He may not hurt the team but he sure as hell rarely helps.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Bonner, Daye, Ayres are all done.

Daye and Ayers never started, tbh.

[RD2191]

Daye and Ayers never started, tbh.
:lolYou have a point.

[Sean Cagney]

Still better than Ayres although that's not saying much.

Yep, however both happen to be on our favorite team....

[hater]

Yep, however both happen to be on our favorite team....

and our starting center is a soft vag

[DrunkTXLabrat]

Bonner has always been garbage. He may not hurt the team but he sure as hell rarely helps.

[ohmwrecker]

He looks like Matt Bonner.

[Arcadian]

4th best big on the team, tbh.

No, Baynes is better.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

No, Baynes is better.

How is the guy who can't share the floor with the two best bigs on the roster better? Maybe in vacuum, but not in the Spurs system.

[hater]

A Matt Bonner with no 3pt shot cannot be seriously better than anyone else but Ayres. Baynes is way better. Bonner just fits better alongside TD

[Sean Cagney]

and our starting center is a soft vag
:(, he is pussy.


Whats funny is some bring up this or that stat to support Bonner and say he tries o hustles etc., yet if his three is not falling which is all he can do usually then what the hell is he good for? Let me guess stretching the damn floor :lol. Okay he does that to an extent but nobody fears he will make an actual shot at times and just leave him wide open. God BONNER SUCKS, then we have Ayres and as you said injured boy all the time.

[DrunkTXLabrat]

bonner is a mob character, you can't pin anything on him. try to say call him on being a doofy ginger, you're some kinda racist. say he can't hit, it's the threat of the hit or he doesn't have to hit cause he's a loyal nobody. say you can't have any nobody's in the family, say you gotta bring in the euro specialists. your specialist's don't have the loyalty, or you can't trust the specialists somehow. say anything negative about bonner, watch your back. bonners loyalty has earned him a lot of... you guessed it.

[Walton Buys Off Me]

Bonner hit two 3's in game 6 against OKC last year.

He gets a three year pass from me.

[dabom]

Bonner hit two 3's in game 6 against OKC last year.

He gets a three year pass from me.

:lmao

[Chomag]

The way Bonner has always made up for his many limits was his hustle. It could be his age is now keeping him from fully doing that now.

I was against his resigning as I would rather Spurs have used that spot on something elsewhere but at least he is cheap now and doesnt get overused like before so it doesnt sting so badly

[Arcadian]

How is the guy who can't share the floor with the two best bigs on the roster better? Maybe in vacuum, but not in the Spurs system.

He doesn't need to share the floor with them. He's a serviceable backup to Splitter. The rotation should be:

Duncan/Diaw
Splitter/Baynes

[DesignatedT]

I'm still waiting for the one Bonner playoff moment to redeem all these years, but it's never gonna happen.

What he was able to do against OKC last year was pretty damn big for anyone who was watching the return of Ibaka and games 3 and 4 of that series. I'm not sure how many Bonner hit that series but it didn't matter as he played his role and served his purpose to perfection. Pulling a hobbling Ibaka out of the paint was a key part of winning that series.

Ironic how Bonner's best and most important playoff series was one in which he didn't make or shoot many threes at all.

I agree that the guy is pretty much done. Teams still respect the hell out of him out on the 3 pt line for some reason though. Like I said, I would still take him on the floor over Ayres.

[Sean Cagney]

Bonner hit two 3's in game 6 against OKC last year.

He gets a three year pass from me.We set the bar that low, it's sad. It's a shame when some bum on the team sucks that bad (Ayres) that is makes him look good for hitting two threes in a game 6 after he probably missed a ton all playoffs. Bonner sucks :lol

[hater]

It's mainly because Matt Bonner looks like 90% of the forum posters IMO

Its like Spurs signing Will Ferrell for the remainder of the season. He'd be mister untouchable in this forum IMO kinda like Becky Jamon

This really.hes making the min. Now and in probably his final season it is what it is

[024]

Matt Bonner looks like he's in full playoff form. And that's not a good thing.

[jeebus]

Bonner, Daye, Ayres are all done.
All 3 faggots will be gone after the season, which is when Bertans and Jean Charles come over and make the rest of the league look even more pathetic.

[Sean Cagney]

Matt Bonner looks like he's in full playoff form. And that's not a good thing.

:lol

[jhuan16]

Still lead the team in +/- stat.

[Ice009]

Bonner, Daye, Ayres are all done.

I didn't really want any of these guys you've mentioned back.

I think some of the players wanted Bonner back though, and I think that is maybe one of the reasons the Spurs re-signed him.

[DrunkTXLabrat]

Matt Bonner looks like he's in full playoff form. And that's not a good thing.

This cracked me up.

[DrunkTXLabrat]

He doesn't need to share the floor with them. He's a serviceable backup to Splitter. The rotation should be:

Duncan/Diaw
*Splitter/Anderson, Bonner
*Baynes/Daye, Bonner

J Green would be a lot more handy than Ayers. When a Timmy dnp falls on an injured calf Splitter night. There'll be salt.

Choking against decent teams, plays great against bums or in scrimmages :lol

[spurraider21]

:lmao leading scorer in an NBA game

[MultiTroll]

:lol BonBon will be stat padding as long as Kirby.

[UZER]

:lol this is such typical Bonner. Beasting against a team like the Sixers.

Nothing to see here...move along.

[BatManu20]

My niqqa Bonner doing what he does best, raining 3's & leading the team in scoring :hat

Nice to see Bonner has been working on his drive and tear drop. He's needed that to round out his game. :toast

[spurraider21]

[Fireball]

but will he ever score 20 points in a game again?

[Phenomanul]

534553144257417216

Would have been better if he referred to them as the Red and Black Mambas, respectively...

[Biernutz]

Matt banged knees under the basket then went to the locker room for treatment. Came
back in the game and rained some 3pts...Nice game Matty.......

[Spur-Addict]

but will he ever score 20 points in a game again?

:lol
