Treehouse of Bonner!

Treehouse of Bonner!
I love u Matt!!Keep up clanking those three-pointers when you play against the Rockets!kthx bye!![]()
Bonner, he is clueless out there. He plays no D, can't rebound for , is a streaky shooter and is soft as vanilla ice cream. Other than that, he rocks...
I'll give him some credit..
he's a VERY good 3-point shooter..but other than that, he sucks at everything..it's sad though, because I don't wanna hate on him..he seems like a good guy..
-he gets down on himself and loses confidence too easily..
-he can't defend consistently..
-he can't rebound..
-he lacks toughness..he had a few rebounds STOLEN from him tonight, and one was stolen by the pussy Boris Diaw IIRC..
-he can't pass..
I'm done trying to pretend like this dude is gonna work out.
I just wish Pop would get with the same notion.
im going to give him a bit of love. he looked adequate during the 2nd quarter. he looked good on defense for bonner (ie, not actually good, but not atrocious) and he actually showed a spark of confidence out there.
but apparently they have a mirror or something in the looker room, because he came out in the 2nd half having noticed that he was indeed still matt bonner, and then proceeded to play like it.
but for 6 or 7 minutes last night, boy was he adequate...
I think Tim getting in his face will light a fire under his ass. It can't hurt.
he was doing alright until he missed duncan down low wide open... and shot a three which he missed... then pop went off on him... after that it was same ol bonner
Some Duncan love for Bonner.

Nothing like tough love from a Hall of Famer to get your head out of your ass.
He has, and that's why Anthony Tolliver is on the team and Hairston isn't. Pop knows that Bonner is such a defensive liability that he just can't be on the court when it matters. Tonight his late or absent rotations gave some easy, easy baskets to Stoudemire in crunch time in a close game. The team defense was horrible tonight and Bonner was a big reason why. Another reason was Kurt Thomas was poor as well.
By can't rebound for , you mean had more rebounds than Duncan. AND the player who had 20/20 with Tim out last year.
By soft, you mean the player who made Garnett his and threw him to the ground.
Stick to watching trailer park sports like the UFC, the NBA is above your level of comprehension.
Pop gave him way too many minutes. Should have sat his ass down for the night mid 3rd quarter. (But I do understan we really had no other big on the bench)
Pop needs to realize bonner is a <10 minutes per game player. that's about it.
Get Oberto back. get mahinmi back. , get Tolliver in.
For Bonner this was a step forward. Mistakes were made but there were positive moments, more than usual, and the important thing is for him not to get down on himself. He should follow Finley's example. That dude has plenty of reason to get down on himself but somehow keeps on going, and that could be the main reason Pop sticks with him. It sure isn't anything quantifiable in the box score.
I know you like Bonner, but it's more than obvious that he's a huge defensive liability who just doesn't stay in front of mobile bigs and is either late or non-existent on his rotations. He's been that way since day 1, and that isn't going to change in his 3rd year. Once Tolliver and Oberto get back I'm sure Bonner's minutes are getting slashed to nil.
Finley's example??
no. Bonner needs to follow The Machine Vujachick's example. That dude is not afraid to suck any given night.
Bonner at least needs to go down firing away.
Bonner needs to stop looking at Spurs bench any time he makes a stupid ass play.
Bonner needs to start talking to the refs and to the opposing players.
. Bonner needs to show he has some balls for a change.
Yes, I like Bonner, and there's a reason for it. It's because he can play. He can board and shoot the 3. Hey, it's tough to play good D when the referees call you for a foul every play, simply because you're guarding a star and your hair is red. And that's the damn truth.
*Duncan trying to find the fuse for the Red Rocket*
Bonner exceeded my expectations tonight. But, I don't want to get use to seeing him playing 30 minutes a game. No. Just no.
he is a good shooter.. but its obvious he shouldnt play too much..
There's not one of you that wouldn't take that stat line every night of the week from Bonner.
Zero basketball IQ. He's not good... at all.
