Bonzi Wells

[SequSpur]

should've been a Spur.

But no...

they are too busy signing dipshits like Bonner.

Nice!

:pctoss

[SequSpur]

Trade Scola for Wells? No, send a second round pick for the Olympic MVP.

Nice!

[SenorSpur]

Bonzi is a Spurs killa!

While Jeff VAn Gundy is the only person in the NBA that can stop Bonzi.

[batboy]

I really don't want to see Bonzi in the playoffs again.

The only reason to sign Bonzi would have been to not have to play against him.

He doesn't do this against the rest of the league.

Hell, last night against Dallas (a team that I think most would consider a bigger threat over the course of a 7 game series), he went 1 for 8.

[whottt]

Fuck Banzi.....he doesn't play like this against anyone but us....


We're the only team that makes him look like the second coming of Bill Russell.

I should have read the entire thread before commenting...well said on your part.

fuck....the way he plays against us id sign him for that very reason. then ship him off to the east and never see him again.

[slayermin]

I thought that's why we signed Horry and Van Exel.

[Capt Bringdown]

It's disturbing how this guy plays against us. Somehow he is able to exploit a blind spot in our lineup.

But there's no way he'd fit into the Spurs program. That being said, the Bonner signing was just a stop-gap measure. He's just a soft shooter. The best we could do I guess.

[StoneBuddha]

Not to be alarmist... but Bonzi's going to be a real headache if the Spurs meet the rockets in the playoffs. The spur don't have any swingman who have enough beef to push Wells off the boards. Plus, aside from Duncan and Ginobili, we don't really have any above average rebounders at their positions.

[Dre_7]

Bonzi only plays well against the Spurs. Therefore, if he were on the Spurs, hed have no one to play well against, meaning hed be more useless than Beno (well I dont know about that one, mite be a stretch).

What about Oberto and Udoka???

[VaSpursFan]

bonzi just killed whoever the spurs threw at him. however, i really think ime would have been able to stick with him. so the next time we play the rox, i want to see what ime can do against bonzai

[SenorSpur]

A true flashback to 2006. Bonzi simply killed the Spurs inside-outside, on the glass, wherever. Bowen, Finley, Barry all failed in trying to stop this guy - again.

Pop got desparate and threw Udoka at him for a short spell. Problem is he didn't leave Udoka on the court long enough to evaluate his results.

[Indazone]

When Bonzi gets it going, nobody can stop him. It's about positioning on the court and running to the open spot. His rebounding was about positioning too. He fits in well with Adelman cause he's run the Adleman offense for years at Sacremento. It's the rest of the Rockets that are trying to find their groove with this new offense.

[ducks]

wells>scola

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Even though I discount the loss as it was the 4th game of the season, it can't be denied that Bonzi has the Spurs number whether it be regular season or playoffs. I'm hoping Udoka can be the Bonzi eliminator eventually.

manu sure can not :depressed

[pawe]

Bonzi is a Spurs killer, if we signed him then who would he play well against with? oh wait, there's seattle and cleveland..and the mavs too.

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

Game last night just prove Van Gundy dumbest NBA coach in many year.

[SRJ]

Bonzi is, more or less, a piece of shit. If he were truly good, he would do this most of the time. He certainly has the ability, but he's moody, undisciplined, and unprofessional. He'll be a non-factor for most of the year - unfortunately, he'll probably continue to play well against the Spurs, so we'll have to just live with it.

[smeagol]

No shit Sherlock Manu can't guard Bonzi neither can anybody else on the Spurs except maybe for Udoka...boy why do you hate Manu so much? He is the only one playing with heart and passion out there! He had 5 steals last night how many did Parker have?

Why did Parker let Mike James score 13 points and grab 3 rebounds to his 1?

Fuck get off Manu's back...here is good idea let's have Tony guard Bonzi and see if he can stop him?

Don't waste your time. He is hopeless.

Last night, when Manu was gong crazy stealing the ball five time, scoring 23 pts, and basically playing with energy and heart (probably the ony Spurs out there doing it), this idiot has no better idea than to point out the reboundiong differential between Manu and Bonzi, as if Bonzi getting all those boards was Manu's exclusive fault.

ducks, go suck Tony's dick, fuckface.

[YallMean]

Funny thread.

Bonzi actaully has played well for us. Execpt maybe he shoots those rainbow prayer a little too often 18.ft out for my taste, I dont really have anything to complain about him. The guy is a strong hard-nosed player. He D-up people pretty pretty good too. So he plays well against other teams too.

I love JVG, but I think he got it wrong on Bonzi last season. Instead of finding a way to bring Bonzi along, he demanded Bonzi to adjust and adapt to his system, which backfired at the end. Bonzi would have been the difference for us to overcome Utah last season and possilbly saved JVG's job. Oh, well, I am just glad he is still with us, not to mention for the cheap. Bonzi and Francis combined are costing us less than MLE, can you believe that!

BTW, thank you for sending us Scola.

[Mitch Cumsteen]

I hope Bonzi has a great year for Houston and they reward him with a 5 year $40M contract.

[phxspurfan]

I'd be down with signing Wells just to place him on IR and have him not hurt the Spurs.

[wildbill2u]

Bonzi is a bad matchup for the Spurs. He is so strong he just muscles our players out of the way on offense and defense.

I saw one rebound where he ran over and simply took it out of the hands of a Spur who was getting the rebound.

[nfg3]

Bonzi has always killed us. Some players just play well against particular teams. That's why you see those stats on TV stating this player has had this many ppg vs (insert team name) since (insert date). Might as well label that "My Bitch Team Is". If Bonzi had played against ALL the other teams like he plays against the Spurs he probably would have gotten that fat contract he was looking for from Sac. :)

All the more reason Pop should've allowed Udoka more time on the court. He's not only a more physical wing player, he's also got the type of edgy, competitive, on-court attitude that none of the other wing players (not named Bowen) has.

[SequSpur]

udoka sucks

[boutons_]

Gotta see Bonzi 3 more times this season. ugh.

would not have to score 23 points if he could keep wells off the boards

[SenorSpur]

udoka sucks

Aren't you in the wrong forum?

[phyzik]

just looked at the title and I didnt even have to look at the origional poster....

[Indazone]

You mean like Bonzi wells from 2006 playoffs? Sorry just had to show this video again lol

:pctoss

well, considering weve won 4 of the last 9 years, i think its pretty safe to say that the front office has personel decisions under control, and wont be looking to promote any "armchair GM's" anytime soon..

[TwelveGs210]

Funny thread.


BTW, thank you for sending us Scola.

BTW, mcgrady has never made it out of the 1st round and never will, and yao is a 7'6" waste of space.. houston will build another 7 arena's before they win 1 title

Bonzi is a gamer but he's known for his latent psychosis with violent tendencies...no thanks.

that's fine. doesn't really hurt so bad given how that series ended.

i said it in another thread, but i don't know if there is another player who has owned the spurs as bad as Bonzi while being as mediocre a player overall.

(truth be told though, rocket fans should probably be hoping that he misses some of those shots he was making the other night. he hits a few outside shots and he's going to be jacking them up all year long.)

[td4mvp21]

Dude you always bitch at people for hating on Tony Parker, and then you go off and hate on Ginobili.

[tav1]

Our problem with Bozi is that this Rockets team is better than the 06 Kings team, and by a good margin. If the Rockets stay healthy, the Spurs might have to pull a deal to prior to the deadline. But then there is the problem of whom to move for, because there aren't many options out there. Ron Artest would counter balance Bonzi, but there is no way the Spurs trade for him, eventhough he could be available. Corey Maggette would be ideal but is too expensive, a little dim, and probably not available. Tony Allen has size and can defend but the Celts would never give him up. Trevor Ariza is an interesting idea--and he isn't getting minutes in Orlanda--but doesn't have the size and couldn't pick up the system without camp. All things being equal, I'd trade Barry and a 1st round pick for a player to get us over the top. But I don't see it happening. The best to hope for is that Udoka comes through.

[tav1]

The Bonzi problem could be solved in other ways: the Spurs could bust hump for homecourt and leave the Rockets with a hard road to the West Finals; we could sign another big to help with Yao; we could trade for a beefy, defensive point to reduce the contributions of Alston and James. The point is this Rocket's team, at least on paper, gives the Spurs fits. Again, on paper, I'm not confident that the Spurs can beat them.
