Can Bonner contribute without scoring? (Bogans as well)

[Agloco]

bonner can't contribute in any aspect of the game:

- can't hit open shots anymore
- can't jump
- can't rebound
- can't play d

on top of that, suns had a 9-0 run at the end of the 3rd and he was on the court
we lost by 8 pts

coincidence? I think not


but hey, he can contribute in practice and play the role of amare stoudemaire, to make sure duncan is ready for games 3 and 4

o'rly?

If Tim, Dyess, Bonner, and every other person guarding Frye decides to run him off the 3 point line next time, he won't do . Just gotta run at him instead of play conservatively when he gets screens.

Bonner is the better player of Frye and he. He just needs to calm himself down and knock it in like we all know he can.

As for Mason, I put much blame on Pop for playing Bogans all season for essentially no reason. We need shooting, not Bogans hit-or-miss D.

did you miss the season? Spurs would not have made the playoffs if Pop had played Mason more. Mason has been sucking since November

Bonner and Frye's stats, at least career/regular season, are comparable.

Too bad Bonner's balls shrivel in the playoffs though.

Good regular season player, I'll give you that.

[z0sa]

We'll see how big Frye and Bonner's respective balls are now that the series is shifting to SA.

How did Bonner do in SA last playoffs?

How did Bonner do in SA last playoffs?

Horrible on average, but the one game he did do well was the one game the Spurs won - and by double digits.

[BadOdor]

Horrible

Thanks for playing.

[z0sa]

The one game we won he did well.

Thanks for playing

So that's 1 good game out of 5?

That makes sense considering he shot 21% last playoffs.

Lol.

We didn't play 5 in SA.

Try to keep up with your own inquiries. Or at least understand basic NBA playoff scheduling.

even if he can manage to calm himself down... Frye is still the better defender and at least doesn't think he's a shooting guard that can just put the ball on the floor and beat everyone off the dribble.

So your only hope at this point is that Bonner doesn't chock as hard at home?

Pretty low expectation brah, no?

[MannyIsGod]

It doesn't matter if he can contribute when not scoring because the Spur absolutely need him to space the floor and if he can't hit a wide open shot then he's not filling the needed role.

Its like a car engine. If your fuel injectors aren't working properly you can't just say "but they'll help me steer!!" because then who the is going to inject the fuel?

[BadOdor]

Oh hey Bra, turns out Bonner has increased his 3point FG% from 0.23% last year to 0.25% this year. Pretty good, no?

[z0sa]

Bonner should just shoot his open shots, I agree.

But there's no reason to dog his inbetween game, which he has vastly improved upon and is the main reason I say he's a better player than Frye. Frye is truly a one trick pony while Bonner can still hurt if you force him off the 3pt line.

Problem is, Bonner seemed nervous about shooting and looked more comfortable driving off a kickout. I don't like or support that Bonner and he needs to balls up and shoot his open shots.

About the defense, Frye is slightly better but he's also a different player physically. He doesn't have the footspeed Bonner does to guard pick and rolls well, but he's better in the post.

Yeah well career stats mean when one of them isn't ting his pants every time he gets an open shot.

Don't you get that none of that matters? We NEED Bonner to be a one trick pony!

He HAS to hit shots for this team or he's not doing what he needs to do.

Bonner inbetween game is and defense is ing pathetic. stop smoking crack

Frye >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bonner

is not even close. Jesus!

[z0sa]

I'm debating channing frye over Bonner

Yeah, Bonner was really hurting the suns with his rebounding, defense and hust.....oh wait.......

Nvm.

[z0sa]

@ people overrating Frye just to make Bonner seem like less of a player. Dude is already sucking clearly, you don't need to build up Frye to make your case.
