If you've never watched Matt Bonner

[T Park]

You can watch him against the Lakers.


Now don't pay attention defensive wise, cause Toronto is pathetic.

Its Kobe's 81 point game, but Im sure Bonner plays alot.


For the folks that really didn't care about Bonner and the Raps.

[T Park]

Sorry

Its on NBATV

[T Park]

Insteresting shooting style.


Raps were lookin to him early to score.


I think I heard wrong, but either Bonner, or the team, shot 22 threes against Seattle, and made 11.

I think it was just Bonner.
But damn, 50% from 3?!?!?!?!

[beirmeistr]

T Park, thanks for the info. I'll watch.

[ducks]

yes tp thanks for the heads up
I do not get it at work but thanks

[T Park]

1-2

and went to the bench with 2 fouls.


Made a really sweet catch and shoot from the side.


His shooting style and the way he plays looks like a young Danny Ferry.

[1Parker1]

yes tp thanks for the heads up
I do not get it at work but thanks

:lol :lol

The game that preceded Kobe's 81, the Raptors were in Seattle. The team shot 11-22 from behind the arc; Bonner was 3-5. Not to spoil what's on nbatv right now, but Bonner ends up with 12 and is 2-6 from behind the arc.

[T Park]

gee thanks FWD totally ruined it!!!!

:lol

[T Park]

and Eric Williams comes into the game.


This is IDEAL!! :lol

[T Park]

Williams playing VERY good defense on Lamar Odom...


Me likey......

[ChumpDumper]

The most 3pt shots Bonner attempted in a game is 11 -- he made 3.

The most 3pt shots he's made in a game is 5 -- he attempted 6.

[T Park]

Williams doesn't look slow, he looks like he can stay with guys like Odom and others his size pretty well.

I wouldn't give up on Eric Williams on this team.

Keep the guy around.

unless the right deal comes around.

[beirmeistr]

Bonner looks like a good shooter--shoots fast. But he is no speed demon. I can't tell who's faster, Bonner or Rasho.

[furry_spurry]

Bonner's awful defense totally frustrated Sam Mitchell.

[Bob Lanier]

Actually, Bonner was Sam Mitchell's boy, much to the frustration of most Raptor fans I've heard from. And, to be fair, nobody else on the Raptors played any defense either.

[T Park]

Bonner's awful defense totally frustrated Sam Mitchell.


mitchell oughtta be frusterated with himself for not emphasizing defense.


Bonner will be much improved defensively here. Gauranteed.

[MI21]

I said this as soon as I heard about this deal, but Bonner will see some oppurtunities here. My initial thought was an absolute Danny Ferry clone.

6'10 but perimeter orientated, hustling type who would get under your skin by just trying harder than you. Also, he is white :lol.

He will see some open looks with Timmy drawing the doubles, and dish outs from our penetrating guards, San Antonio is a pretty good fit for him because the strong team defense should be able to hide a fair bit of his defensive problems. He will have a lot of games where he goes 5/6 3/4 4/6 on FG's and will more than likely be a coaches and teammates favourite.

Nice player to have around.

[T Park]

Exactly Mi21

If he can do what Ferry did, bag some shots, hustle, get some boards, get under the opponent's skin, and be a pain in the ass, then he will be fantastic.

Now granted it was one game, but I liked what I saw in this game shown today.

[MI21]

I'm not saying he is going to make the team a whole lot better, but if he fits in, he could. Interesting type of player, and it can never hurt being a 6'10er that can hit 3's regularly.

[boutons_]

I always give new guys the benefit of the doubt.

Matt has played only 2 years in the NBA. Still learning. His hustle, 6'10", and 3Gs are a good enough foundation. Defense and esp weak RB are two areas he must improve if he wants to stick with the Spurs and get some PT.

[1Parker1]

Forget Bonner, let's try and get Kobe....holy shit that was the first time I saw the Kobe 81 point performance in its entirety. That was plain sick. :wow

[NBA Junkie]

So far, his career highlight was knocking Kevin Garnett to the floor in a game a couple years ago.

[Russ]

Have Matt Bonner and Matt Bullard ever been seen in the same room?
