2014 part deuce
You really think spacing, and having some other big other than Diaw that's willing to shoot the 3 is hurting us? Durant is making some tough shots out there, got to give him credit I don't think it will last tbh especially when things really start getting bad for them. We do need some rim protection and rebounding, I think we need Boban over West tbh.
All the bigs outside LMA have been awful. At this point Bonner literally couldn't be any worse (I'd hope). Pop decided to keep him over Butler strictly for this matchup so I guess it's time to see if he made the correct call.
:lmao:lmao:lmao
desperate Spurs fan are among the most amusing in the league.
Yeah, let's get worse at rebounding :lol
Also, let's space the floor even though our guards aren't having any problems penetrating :lol
how about playing Boban for more than 1 minute.
Tim Duncan?
Bonner is actually a solid defender still also, and not a bad rebounder (he actually boxes out), and is not a complete offensive liability but he isn't the answer tbh. We got to play a full 48 minute game, and we will be fine.
This is why Pop gets paid the big bucks. To remain rational when the rest of us go batshit crazy over that West Diaw lineup. I cried about it during the first game of the season. We probably should have won that game despite West and Diaw getting mauled. Pop will probably just continue to roll with it, and it will probably work out ok in the end, but not until a lot of us have suffered a lot of pain from watching it. It's so bad watching the second chances, etc that it is just a natural inclination to want to do something thinking nothing could be worse. But, Pop probably knows that it could be worse, and we have a better chance with them. I sure do want to claw my eyes out watching, though.Quote:

Spurs haters posting on Spurs forums that can't get obvious joke threads are right up there too, tbh.Quote:

Fat Head has earned a start, I'm pretty sure he's a better rebounder than Ibaka & can actually check Durant.:lol
He would at least be able to drain some 3s, Green was in lala land tonight

If only he'd played with more confidence I'd support you.Quote:

Tongue in cheek thread but feel free to contribute your own cheeky suggestion. :lolQuote:

Bonner doesnt drain 3s in the playoffs and not during regular season as well nowadays. He is done at this stage.Quote:

His career playoff number is not horrible I agree, it just seemed when the shot counted he either passed it up or just could not connect (He was never clutch, the anti Horry). He had one playoffs where he shot pretty well, bumped that % up some I remember but that's another story. I don't go with him right now in this series, my point.Quote:

His small sample size is backed up by his career 3 point shooting number which is still greater than 40%. 41%, I believe. Arguing his small sample at 44% this season is not indicative of his overall 3pt shooting doesn't jive with his career number. He is still, as he always has been, a good 3pt shooter.Quote:

I doubt he'll be used, but it's a perpetuating myth that he can't shoot.
All jokes aside, Kanter is notoriously poor with his rotations. Giving Matty some spot bench minutes might lead to some open 3s from him and also pull Kanter away from the basket and even out the rebounding a little. That said Matty hasn't played a second in the playoffs, so I doubt it happens and doubt even more he'd be effective if it did.
There's also the placebo effect.
