Were Better without him!!! We Would be 1-4 if he was in the Rotation.....Bonner Is trash....
Without that ginger we would never have beaten Dallas last year. We need Bonner. If he'd be in the rotation, overtime wouldn't be needed tonight.

Well, Bonner may have failed to meet expectations last year, but we haven't really seen if he's rejuvenated this time around, perhaps Pop specified some sadistic drills for Bonner as well. haha.
Bonner is utter shytt. Without Hill we would not beat Dallas last year, what are you smoking????? I mean seriously Bonner? He is horrible.
Bonner is the man from 3 and can D-up like nobody else on our team he is the utter shyte youre right about that!!!1
kill yourself
this troll goes to sleep.
loltroll
tbh,impo, i think bonner will be played on occasion for threes. idk, just saying
Since bonner went down with an injury...
the spurs seem to be coming together...
last season was loss after loss-to subpar teams.
Although still very early-this season is the opposite-
the spurs are finding ways to win...although far from perfect or easy wins...they ARE wins.
Like I said a few days ago...this reminds me of last season when the spurs started jellin' after a bonner injury...
...only for bonner return and it all up again...
temple, booner gee for ?
why so he can jack up as many threes as manu
Anyone making a we need Bonner THREAD
He Plays No D.... He doesnt Rebound Well(Offensively Or Defensively)... Players see him on the Court and They Atttack him... If You Notice when bonner is in there, whoever he is covering the other Team goes right at him..
The Only Thing he is good for Is 10 mins a game(At The most) And that is for situation play only(Like we are down three with 5 secs left)..
obvious troll is obvious.
Trolling aside, the Spurs could use Bonner to eat some minutes. The guy is useful during the regular season, especially early.
And with Splitter not up to speed and Blair trying to work out the kinks and find a way to implement what he's learned and added to what made him the player he's been, the Spurs risk the possibility of putting too much burden and responsibility on 'Dyess and Duncan early.
So there's actually some truth and merit to the Spurs missing Bonner. He serves a purpose for the long-term. But hopefully the success they've had playing BIG has reminded Pop and the staff of who and what they need to be and how they need to play when the games really start to matter.
Bonner's a meat shield.
there is absolutely no (useful) skill that bonner provides that another spur doesn't do better.
here's to bonner's injury saving popovich from the boneheaded rotation he would be using otherwise.
eh.. if we were losing, maybe. Id rather let those guys play and figure it out on the run. Bonner is more of an insurance for me, playing minutes ONLY if he absolutely has to ie. injury to another, foul trouble, epic struggling, specific situation that calls for a 3 pt shooter etc. Otherwise Im more of a fan of letting players play it out.
Kind of agree on TD and Dice being overplayed though.. but if Blair and Splitter can work out their issues (Blair stuggling to score, splitter regaining his conditioning) then I think were okay in that department.
lol meat shield.
That was the whole point of my post. The Spurs could use Bonner right now to eat minutes, both because of Splitter not being up to speed and the age of Duncan and 'Dyess.
It's a long season. Guys like Bonner serve their purpose for the long-term if used correctly. He just needs to become about as relevant to the Spurs chances of winning playoff series as Scalabrine was for Boston.
Hah turning this troll of a thread into something else.
But back to topic, I would still prefer Blair and Splitter eat up Dice and Duncans minutes while figuring/playing out their kinks. I just personally prefer letting players grind it out because we know the talent is there.
Ive always like Bonner as the 5th big so that's why I like him in more specific scenarios like blowouts, if we need the 3pt threat, foul trouble etc - which is how I believe he could be used correctly.
It's called: The Reverse Troll.
Of course you would. But Splitter hasn't been able and ready to play the minutes just yet and Pop's been playing 'Dyess more than Blair.
Like I said before, Bonner's a stopgap and meat shield. You can win with him playing a role in the regular season and you can keep the older guys fresher for when the games really start to count -- then he should no doubt be your fifth big and a situational player.
He is the Prince of the Plus-Minus, as my man objective so rightfully proclaimed; but that coincides with regular, early season games.
