Mase!!
Mason has a nice expiring contract..he should be moved..
Mase!!
LOL If Matt Bonner is our best defender on the team out of Duncan,Ratliff,Ian,McDyess there's something seriously wrong.
Nice comeback with Finley and Bonner on the bench..
I don't see how Finley and Bonner apologists even have a leg to stand on at this point. Both of these guys are just flat out bad basketball players.
Actually, the comeback was started when Finley was in the lineup.
In fact, there were only two players with positive +/- numbers. Finley was +10 and Bogans was +4. Every other Spur was negative and Richard Jefferson was -22.
They saw about 13 minutes a piece and we still got dismantled. Of course, the scapegoat will just change as is convenient.
Yeah that shows you how much bs that damn + and - is since RJ was one of our high scorers and one of the few that showed tonight actually!!!!! He was our main player tonight if I am correct, or top two. You are trying to tell me that that this shows RJ was worse than them? Give me a damn break.
Did you guys actually watch the game?..
first of all, people need to stop quoting +/- for one game..again, it's completely dependent on who you're playing with and who you're playing against at the time..
Finley had one of the worst stretches I've ever seen for his career, and I'm not exaggerating..it was sad to watch such a great guy be put out there and look like he did tonight..the only shot he made tonight was a wide-open layup where he caught it under the basket..
Bonner defended Aldridge well to start the game, but he wasn't noticeable on the floor the rest of the game..
Anyone piss off when they see Finley brakes on a 3 on 1 or a 4 on 2?
I piss off whenever I see him, period.
He should be moved after his pathetic playoff when he was owned by Barea.
And he's back and play Finley level defense
I'd give Mason a chance to do what he was brought in to do ... play a bench role as the 3rd or 4th swingman. Last playoffs he was starting, playing major minutes and handling the ball. None of which he is suited for.
Finley on the other hand can take charge of the gatorade and towel department from here on. And Bonner can be the 5th big playing spot minutes, but nothing more.
lol good call Mel.
You were pretty much on point.
so that was a rough two-game stretch. i hope we see less of these two guys.
Get ready to see him play point now that TP went down. Somehow Pop thinks he has good handles...
well we have no other option for PG so mason is going to have to get in there.
I would still play a tandem of Hill and Ginobili. Even if Manu has sucked recently, he has better court vision and passing skills. Mason is a one trick pony, IMHO.
Bonner!
Manu?
I agree that Manu is the better option to run point for the 10-12 minutes that Hill doesn't play.
The only practical reason to use Mason, that I can see, is that it would be less disruptive to the established rotations. Of course, the established rotations have not exactly been a roaring success.
So yeah, if the ball isn't in Hill's hands, I'd like to see Manu direct the show.
"he isn't the one who turns it over everytime he touches it..."
"his defense was decent for the first quarter..."
"his three point ability stretches the floor/no other big on the roster does what he can"
Bonner sucks. Don't care what the so called "experts" think, the guy is a poor man's JJ Red stretched to 7 ft, except his shot is so streaky that it's laughable to call him a 3 point threat. Guy can't rebound, or box out, and how the can anyone say he play's decent defense? You can't stand perpendicular to your man as he shoots and he can't stay in front of a line, let alone anyone with a ball in their hand. He has absolutely nothing over the other bigs on the roster besides the most over rated 3 point shot this side of Manu's balding head and tenure. Thankfully his minutes have been steadily decreasing, because he is becoming more than a liability when he plays extended minutes, he's becoming a detriment to the team, at least Mike Finley can say he is ass old, Bonner doesn't have any excuse, he just flat out doesn't have the talent or ability to do what Pop want's him to do. You can't have a consummate bench warmer playing a starting role for a dynasty with le hopes when you have two better alternatives sitting on the bench who are more productive in the little run they are given than this jabrone.
People on this board can sugar coat it anyway they want and dismiss people like me with snide comments like "do you even watch the games" (half season ticket holder, muffuggas!) or "you're not on the team" but neither are you guys, but in fairness the guy isn't THE reason the Spurs are a mess right now, but he most certainly isn't part of the solution in anyway but in a small role. To say otherwise is insulting, you don't need to be an expert to notice when someone isn't productive enough in their role and if I see that mother er stare at another wide open shooter for 3 seconds and not even bother putting a hand up, I'm gonna put my remote through my TV and I really dont want to do that.
/Rant.
Bonner could be a very good bench spark..
