Bonzi's History of going off on the Spurs

[SilverPlayer]

I wanted to take a look at Bonzi's history against the spurs, because from what I remember the guy has been either Jordan like against us or crap, and history seems to bear that out...He is incredibly streaky against us, and my premise is that the Kings will not survive a game without him going off on us.

Am I guaranteeing that we will have a bad game against us? Hell no, but I do think things will be a little harder for him in SA. What's funny is that we used to always manage to contain this guys rebounding against us, and we need to find a way to do that again.

Apparently, Bonzi Wells has a weight advantage over Bruce Bowen, and he's able to post defenders up. It's rather unfortunate that Bruce Bowen was posted up rather easily by Bonzi. I think Coach Pop needs to rework his guarding assignments for Game 5. I think they'll spend quite a bit of time going over film today, and see what worked against him in Game 1. What worked against him in Game 2 was foul trouble (he ended up leaving the game to the tune of "Hit The Road, Jack", and we all know what causes that song to be played when a player on the Road team leaves the game). I hate to say it, but I think it's time for Bruce to take a page from Manu's book...the flopping game (at least according to George Karl and Leandro Barbosa).
