not important - he's shooting 50.9% from the 3 and the Spurs are 55 and 13; all is well

I thought he played about as good defense as he can play tonight. He was aggressive, tough and he even pulled down a few difficult rebounds. I would be happy if he played consistently as well as he played tonight.

Agree he was OK on D, he even finished with 6 boards but his offensive was pathetic. Passing up shots and missing open looks.

re-watch the game - marion had an easy time with him; if you mean agressive by knocking down Dirk, I'm ok with that, but he wasn't good on defense and we didn't extend the lead with him in the game. He's an offensive player - if he doesn't score, it only multiplies his weaknesses.

i will say i liked how he went after some of those rebounds i guess other than that hes utter garbage out there

He rebounded better than usual, but when he doesnt make 3s you gotta pull him

Holy crap!! This guy is human doormat for ST posters..Most of the time its his defense that gets everyone acting crazy, now we have some bitching about his offense. :lol

Bonner played well tonight, mostly cause the matchups. He not going to get 6 boards against LA though. Haywood is a stiff.

one rebound was off of a free throw and another was one that fell out of Dirk's hands - lets no go overboard with his rebounding.

Bonner played a good game offensively and defensively.

nothing against Bonner - he does the best he can, but the Spurs need help on defense and Bonner's not going to help that. The Spurs offense is sufficient without Bonner's stretching the floor and his high 3 pt percentage. The Spurs defense is very lacking while Bonner is on the floor.

That seems to be the case with Blair and Jefferson too. Some say Jefferson's defense is still good, but I don't see it.

The only players that look playoff ready are the Big 3, McDyess, Neal and maybe Hill.

0 points 0-4, in 18 minutes, lol

If he played good offense on top of tonight's defensive effort, he would be maxing out his potential. He might spontaneously combust.

I watched the game. I'm not going to re-watch it, shithead. He played very close to his defensive potential tonight, tbqfh. The Spurs had enough offense to win the game, did they not?

Nitwit.

I can agree with some of this except for the part that says Bonner does not help the offense. Not sure how you can tell me that the #1 3pt shooter does not help the offense. He may not need to be a fixture in the lineup (20+ minutes) but he definatly is an offensive player who has to be accounted for by the opposing defense on every play.

Bonner rebounded and defended well Ill take that if he isn't shooting :)

The rest of the team has played like crap, but a better defense would hide a little bit of that. It's just hard to get used to a Spurs team that has to shoot well or they don't win when it counts.

His shooting till late in the year vs. a good team that is, it is going by patter again now! Patters never break here it seems! He will hit 4 threes vs a shit team and then apologists will make a thread on him saying how about him now! Only to dissapear against Boston or Portland etc. bigtime.

GOOD LORD and here we go! I guess that was well for him, but he is a black hole out there, hell even Splitter could Board or D okay in games, but when Bonners shot is not falling he is just horrible out there like tonight. This son of a bitch is useless later in the year it seems, it shows again lately. He sees playoffs coming and just hides, no heart at all nor talent.

He even got an elbow to Nowitzki's head while getting a rebound without even getting a foul called..He's Bonner Damnit!!

I saw the game too, why mavs go on runs when he was in the game, if he is so great? Marion abused him at will, he was made to look an allstar when ginger "guarded" him. At the end of the first half mavs erased an 18 point lead with him in the game. Then they closed the gap again when he was in the fourth with blair. When they were benched, all of a sudden spurs pulled away with the game. Just seems odd to me, when results don't match the claims.

^ props to this man. he ain't blind

you mad there tootz? :lol - if you're not going to re-watch the game fine, but he didn't play good D and the point that the Spurs had good enough offense tonight means little in the overall picture.

If you're counting on the Big 3 to put up 80 points per game, I feel sorry for you. Of course I know you don't expect that, but my point is that come playoff time the Spurs offensive success will be lessened by better defense and the Spurs' defense doesn't seem near a level that will over come that.

He sucks, and some backing this bum too do as well! I am a Spurs fan full and full, but this dude is just horrible! He is doing it again this year late, he is horrible and will continue to be. Why was he resigned? WHY DOES POOP LIKE HIM SO MUCH? I will never know.

:lol, at people thinking this is all on Bonner...Bonner played alot with the reserves in this game, guess we could blame Blair for alot of that as well. Bonner has made many of pf's look pretty stupid this season with his 3pt shooting but if you want to focus on 1 game, be my guest, but you sound pretty foolish doing it..
