Never thought I'd say this, but that sucks.
We need Anderson back now, and soon.
I guess Blair is going to be forced to show off his "beyond-the-arc" prowess.
Tiago you've got your nazr Mohammed moment...
Tiago played well in the last Denver game, 12/9 in 21 minutes. He's definitely familiar with Nene.
as much shit as I give Bonner he's shown up all year, we need him badly. here's to a quick recovery. :toast
Neal and Manu will be counted on for those threes, RJ as well.
I think Tiago will definitely get some minutes against Denver. McDyess is due a shortened game, since Pop wants to keep him fresh
Now is the time for Splitter to try to prove he is a 3 point chunker like he did that one game awhile back. :lol
He almost made that 1 three I saw him take.Quote:

Knees are the weakest link for a basketball player. Being cautious is certainly the right thing to do.
I hope Splitter will take that opportunity to prove what he is worth. He is a way better player than what he showed against Mavs.
Or against a bunch of other teams, right?Quote:

Good thing we're getting Denver on the 2nd night of a B2B. Might help us a bit.
:lol, name these bunch of teams you are talking about? better yet, list how much time against these "bunch" of teams?Quote:

There may be a few more delusional folks out there, but they are definitely in the minority.
I think there are some Caucasians out there as well.Quote:

He can't be concerned with replacing Bonner's scoring (let's face it, Rocket's been a beast lately). RJ, Hill and Neal will have to pick up the slack there.
This is a huge opportunity for Splitter and he has got to show the team he can be a solid, dependable contributor. There are definitely trust issues with Pop and his teammates that he can only repair with how well he performs on the floor. It's time for everyone to see what we've been waiting for.
I can count to 10. Why would Bonner be out 5 games? So far, all we know is that he'll miss the Denver game.Quote:

dont worry bon bon fans, he'll be 100% healthy and ready to choke in the playoffs :hat
LOL, and like clockwork he will. He is a great early season shooter as always, then in the end he shoots about 30% or so for threes in the playoffs or maybe even less. Playoffs come, he starts to fade like clockwork.Quote:

not only is matt bonner vital for this team's spacing/offense, but he has greatly improved his rebounding/D to average at best.Quote:

Playing Bonner = playing small. Haven't figured that one out yet?Quote:

don't wanna rush back our 2nd best big.
Spurs played the best game they have played in a while in my opinion. On both sides of the ball.
If anything, the offense didn't stutter at all. Neal basically covered the 8ppg Ginger puts out there.
When thats your second best big you know you are fukked later :lol:depressedQuote:

Not only did they win big. They won on both sides of the ball against a team with a lot of fire power that was playing pretty well as of late.
The Spurs hit 14 in a row, but that would mean little if they weren't shutting down the Nuggets' offense at the same time. They went from 12 down to about that much up in a short time. Huge swing and that was the game.
Those 3s in the end were helpful, but Denver really turned on the offense in the last minutes of the game. Good that the Spurs held on.
Matt is a big part of the team, but if we cannot win without him, we are really fucked.
it was just nice to see Tiago start a run with a great defensive play.
something you will never ever see from Bonner.
You also won't see Bonner land on his ass after a dunk with a few seconds remaining, up by 11.
can opener!! lol
is bonner getting traded.
Never say never. He did go on a dunking binge for a stretch there against the Knicks and Cs -- meaning a dunk in back-to-back games.Quote:

Antonio McDyess said he tweaked a knee in the first half but Denver, but doesn't think it is anything serious. #spurs
Matt Bonner (knee) did not practice and remains iffy for Wed vs. Toronto. #spurs
merda! :lol
Thanks for posting that Spurs_Brazil. A few people said they thought Antonio tweaked his knee in the game thread. I missed it during the game. You think the Spurs have checked it out already?

Popovich would not rule out forward-center Matt Bonner for Wednesday.
Bonner, No. 2 in the NBA in 3-point accuracy (60 for 119), suffered a bone bruise in his right knee in the Spurs’ victory in Milwaukee on Jan. 12. Though he played the first half of the game against Dallas on Friday, he sat out Sunday against the Nuggets.
“It’s just a day-to-day thing,” Popovich said. “We’ll see how he feels today and how he feels on Wednesday.”
