Re: Matt Bonner out vs denver
Never thought I'd say this, but that sucks.
We need Anderson back now, and soon.

Re: Matt Bonner out vs denver
I guess Blair is going to be forced to show off his "beyond-the-arc" prowess.

Re: Matt Bonner out vs denver
Tiago you've got your nazr Mohammed moment...
-
Re: Matt Bonner out vs denver
Tiago played well in the last Denver game, 12/9 in 21 minutes. He's definitely familiar with Nene.
-
Re: Matt Bonner out vs denver
as much shit as I give Bonner he's shown up all year, we need him badly. here's to a quick recovery. :toast
-
Re: Matt Bonner out vs denver
Neal and Manu will be counted on for those threes, RJ as well.
-
Re: Matt Bonner out vs denver
I think Tiago will definitely get some minutes against Denver. McDyess is due a shortened game, since Pop wants to keep him fresh
-
Re: Matt Bonner out vs denver
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.

Re: Matt Bonner out vs denver
Did you guys see Timmy hit that 3 the other night just after the timeout was taken?

Re: Matt Bonner out vs denver
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?
The majority of his results are anomalies. :lol

Re: Matt Bonner out vs denver
Good thing we're getting Denver on the 2nd night of a B2B. Might help us a bit.

Re: Matt Bonner out vs denver
I think that most people are coming around to the fact that Splitter is a role player whose ceiling will be to provide 15-20 minutes of solid play and prevent the Gasols of the world from killing the Spurs while Duncan is on the bench.
There may be a few more delusional folks out there, but they are definitely in the minority.

Re: Matt Bonner out vs denver
This is going to be a make or break game for Tiago as far as how his minutes will come for the rest of the season. He must stay out of foul trouble/hold his position on D and go strong to the basket/get to the foul line on the other end. 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.

Actually, the thread for most "Bonner haters" to shine don't start until mid-April.

Better to play it safe. Hope Bonner makes a speedy recovery.

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.

Re: Matt Bonner out vs denver
Watch and see how hard it is for the Spurs to score in the paint tomorrow. Bonner is the can opener for the offense. If we're not running effectively, we could easily lose.

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

I would give Matt all the minutes Blair got tonight...

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

Re: Matt Bonner out vs denver
hopefully, hes out a couple more games just so Pop is forced to play Tiago.
don't wanna rush back our 2nd best big.
-
Re: Matt Bonner out vs denver
Spurs played the best game they have played in a while in my opinion. On both sides of the ball.
-
Re: Matt Bonner out vs denver
If anything, the offense didn't stutter at all. Neal basically covered the 8ppg Ginger puts out there.

Oh yeah, sides those stupid TO's late (hell all game for that) where they let the score get closer they played great on D tonight and the shooting was great.
-
Re: Matt Bonner out vs denver
Well they won big without Bonner.....
-
Re: Matt Bonner out vs denver
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.
-
Re: Matt Bonner out vs denver
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.
-
Re: Matt Bonner out vs denver
it was just nice to see Tiago start a run with a great defensive play.
something you will never ever see from Bonner.
-
Re: Matt Bonner out vs denver
You also won't see Bonner land on his ass after a dunk with a few seconds remaining, up by 11.

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.
-
Re: Matt Bonner out vs denver
LOL @ dunking binge... He got two monster put backs... but he landed on his pedestals.

Matt Bonner (knee) did not practice and remains iffy for Wed vs. Toronto. #spurs

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.”
