great win 4 spurs!! but Toll?

Bonner came in and played well. I think Pop was searching for a guy who can take and make threes.

Not only that. Matt was fresh because he hadnt played many minutes this past week. People forget 3 games in 4 days means bench players minutes change alot.

no way, bonner is the savior

Remember how Pop played Malik Rose heavy minutes before trading him to NY for Nazr?

Pop is showcasing Bonner to potential suitor...

Not sure Bonner hasn't been the better defender here so far. It's entirely possible that the two of them will make each other better just by competing for minutes.

I pretty much agree here. Matt has needed a kick in the ass for a long time and watching a 23yr old kid show him up and make him ride the pine might have been some good therapy. Tolliver probably has more upside in the long run because I have doubts that Matt can put together consistent performances, but if he can push a few out of him then that is better than what we have been getting.

Landry is a great rebounder, its likely he would have gotten those on anyone.

Particularly on anyone who didn't bother to block him out or keep track of him.

Tolliver has definitely impressed me with his passing though..

ironic, because the only thing I heard about him was his "great" shooting, and nothing else..now he does everything else, but can't shoot..

Tolliver has shown a knack for getting the ball to Duncan in position to score many times.. that's the best part of his game so far IMO. Let's hope he can keep it up.

Its these same people wondering why Tolliver got benched who are still calling for Bonner's head after his major contributions last night.

Tolliver has done that a couple of times, but when he made the same pass to someone else last night (Oberto I think), I suddenly realized that he could be making that pass because he's got no confidence in his shot instead of because it's such a heads up play. His hustle is infectious, and he's got a lot of enthusiasm. I hope that will be enough to sustain him, but I suspect he doesn't have the skills to stick. I really like what he brings though so I hope he does.

I don't understand why fans do that. I must admit that I didn't think Tolliver did anything to warrant being benched for the entire game, but Hill got the same treatment the game before, so it's not shocking.
