But not the ass plays that came with it.
If you guys are going to expect Matt Bonner to fulfill the position Robert Horry once had, it's be nearly impossible because the truth of the matter is that Matt Bonner will never (well, maybe never) be as clutch of a 3 shooter as Robert Horry, not to mention the defense. Granted, watching Matt Bonner shoot he has a very quick release, and that's probably the only thing he has left going for him...
Yeah, you'll have to list all of them, because if you think that he made too many mistakes against Diaw, Amare and Shaq, then your standards are WAY too in' high.
8 points and 7 rebounds looks alright for Matt Bonner, expect he was on the court for 30 minutes. Thats just not good enough, not enough production.
I love Matt Boner, I recommend you play him at least 40 mins a night with his 8 minutes off in the 2nd quarter.
I bet Amare loves him too
Did I fall short of my projected 22 points?
Yes.
Did I fall short of my projected rebounds?
Yes.
Do I still get paid millions of dollars?!
YES!
Do I give two s about what you all think?
NO!
Did I pass on my post game hooker frenzy?
NO!
Suck on deez nuts es!!!!!
Amare outscored him in the 4th quarter alone. Not that I'm comparing Amare with Bonner, but Matt was supposed to be guarding him.
Every team needs a ginger and he is ours. I like Bonner.
One the day of judgement I will spare you.
he sucked in 2nd half
And I love you. I recommend that you gargle my balls for 40 mins a night.
Yeah but you've sucked your whole life.
Bonner even sucks at trolling
You do realize that Amare schools the Spurs, even in the playoffs. He is more than capable of averaging 30 a night in the playoffs against one of the Spurs best defensive teams.
Yes he did, but as I have said it looks like a confidence issue not a skill issue. His first half was more than solid on both ends. He just needs to put a full game together. He looks to everyone when he makes a mistake; Manu doesn't do that. Just play. He is going to make mistakes, but he needs to focus on his strengths: shooting when he is open and hustling his ass off.
This is year 3. He's not going to get any confindence. Remember the play last year where he had 10 footer to win the game and missed? That play is what we're going to get from Bonner, close but always falling short. Hopefully Ian can get his minutes. I would rather have size and rebounding than spotty 3-point shooting and crappy defense.
And I would rather have a 14 incher instead of a 13 and a halfer but I work with what I got.
Remember when he won us the game last year when Tim was hurt against Golden State by posting a 20/20 game? I will be the first to admit he has had more bad moments than good, but it is not a skill thing. It is a mind thing. IF he can put that together and toughen up (knowing he is going to play should help) then he can help.
That's a big if. I hope you are right, I just have not seen the evidence. I was also surprised with Tim's scolding of Bonner. Bonner didn't look like he was too happy about it at the time, and Tim showed some real emotion.

People sure love to mention that ONE 20/20 game. One out of 82 doesn't cut it.
It shows potential. It shows that he does have the skill. He has done wayyy more bad than good, but with time and the right at ude he can help. He will not be a 20/10 guy, but he can space the floor, rebound, defend in the post adequately and hustle. Only time will tell. This will be the first year where he gets a lot of minutes. I am not saying he will turn out good, but that I have seen enough flashes to show he can.
Alot of players show potential and do jack. He played one good game in 2 years.
I'm showing lots of love to Matt Bonner by every second I refrain from hunting him down for sport.
, he'd probably suck at that too. Gingers that tall don't have much natural camouflage.
Exactly - Bonner did not just good, but exceptional against one of the most athletic big men in the L. And although he was outrebounded a couple times by a smaller man, thats THEIR man to box out, not Bonner, who was tied up on Amare.
So ... how is that even Bonner's fault Barnes got it over him? He's supposed to box out two guys at once now, one of them being Amare f'n Stoudemire?
