    The point that Matt Bonner might Start and get significant Minutes. 1 - cause he knows the system 2 - cause pop likes the 1-4 sets they ran all of last year 3 -Pop is funny with playing Rookies, which might Put the Beast in a bad position for playing time.

    I'm nervous that if Matt Bonner starts to hit shots, then Pop will be forced to keep playing him cause he is a confidence player and benching him after a great shooting effort would ruin him for awhile.

    Why don't you see this in terms of him starting vs being on the bench then. Same psychological impact. He's fragile, Pop knows this. Too bad you can't grasp that.

    Ask yourself, do we need sensitive players on a championship team period, and getting significant playing time say 20minutes?

    Who cares if he starts as a Center?

    It's not a long-term solution, as Pop will use him as a backup PG in the playoffs

    OK, since your battle buddy has left you alone in a free fire zone, I'll try one last time.

    Let's say you could prove beyond any reasonable doubt that Bonner played too much last season and might play too much this season. I don't think you can, but let's say you could.

    So what?

    Pop's gonna play whoever he believes gives the team the best shot at a le.

    When you've reached the point in a debate that you are posting a gem like this:

    I believe you, thats why all the debate. I'm scared, and some of the guys around here are putting veils over their eyes and laughing it up cause they dont want to see the truth.
    you are opening yourself up for whatever may come.

    You asked what was so funny. Now you know.

    Yeah I know, but I just hope a trend doesn't develop. Thats what I meant in my last post. If Bonner hits shots and his confidence is high, POP wont want to sit him. If he starts for a little while then fine. The guys need time to adjust to the system. But if he hits shots that can change things drastically.

    So you think Pop would play Bonner more minutes than McDyess?

    IF Bonner is hitting shots 24/24 split. But the Rebounding has gota improve even if he is hitting shots. If he Rebounds like a real big man then great and he has earned a decent amount of minutes 20-25. Rebounding is my only problem with Bonner. If he cant hit shots from deep oh well. But he has got to rebound.

    Would you take Fisher or Big Baby on the team? Or KG in place of Tim on the team?

    I'm back.. Just had to run some errands this afternoon.

    Just cutting to the chase

    So nobody here besides Portnoy and myself and a few others sees a problem whatsoever with Finley and Bonner as our opening day starting SG and C even though it was both those guys' lack of production that were the main reasons the spurs got steamrolled by the mavericks last year in the playoffs?

    FYI - I'll be doing a booksigning later on today at the local Mcdonalds. Feel free to stop by and say o. Thanx Solid D for spreading the word. I'll see to it you get a cut of the profits.
