Bonner's garbage, but he shouldn't be blamed for being the starter and getting the minutes he doesn't deserve. Those decisions lie with someone else.
Can't very well space the floor if he's chucking up bricks.

he started good with that 3pt shot, then it all went south after that
True. It's not like Bonner's pulling a Steve Smith and giving half-ass efforts because he doesn't like his contract or something. He's being asked to play a role he physically cannot handle.
I think you all are unfairly using a straw-man argument against Matt Bonner. Err wait... maybe its Matt Bonner's defense that is the straw-man. Err... uh,
Never mind.
I have more problems with Finley. He’s the 1st one who needs to be benched.
Our defense and rebounding was better when Bonner was in the game. McDyess was terrible defending and when he and Duncan were out there, they gave up rebound after rebound. Duncan seems to be having trouble getting lift this year.
Blair was good, though, at least on the boards (though his defense still needs work), so I'd like to see more of him.
BTW, Bonner only got 17 minutes in the game. Are you all happy?
Yes. But the team still sucked because of a lack of effort on the defensive end, so no one should blame Bonner. He is taking all the because of some people's ignorance.
I agree. Bonner's defense wasn't bad, IMO. In fact, when he and Duncan were in the game early, the defense was decent. When he went out and McDyess came in midway through the second quarter, all broke loose on the defensive end.
The only big man that really impressed me tonight was Blair.
How about you get the F out of Bonners team?
If we could combine Matt bonner and mahinmi we might have something.![]()
If they also give them Oberto's head, we'd have a starting caliber center again.
But he'd foul out in 5 minutes and only play 20 games a season.
So true.
But then, Portland spent a 1st pick on something like that.
Wrong. We have already won two regular season games with Bonner starting and I predict we will win 6 to 8 more.
OKUR POSTED US UP for fcuk's sake.
jeesus khrist.
Afraid to tell you pocket protector wearing geniuses but McDyess's defense and Duncans and others was a whole load worse than Bonners was last night.
But go ahead and rip him up.
But how will we ever discover the Hoagie Grail on our own?
That is 17 minutes too long.
