Chump your is priceless lol
And back in the locker room he could see in real time what we see every nite. You see things differently from the broadcast view than the floor view and you can get an objective view by the comentators and fan reaction. Course when your a wino as Pop is eh.....
Like we didn't see another one of these threads coming.
even if boner averages straight 0's in every category, and gets dunked on 4 times in a row, Pop is still going to play him 20 minutes a game.
nothing anyone can do about it.
That lineup won't be getting past the Lakers in the playoffs. It can get past the smaller teams in the league and lottery teams but the lack of dominant frontline players will doom the spurs when they matchup with the Lakers.
???????? i question everyones posts too!!!
everyone hates matt bonner i mean he wouldnt be the first option on a ymca squad. oh well pops a genius
im just hoping tiago plays even if that means bonner gets spasms im down for that he hurts this team
Wondering what the Bonner supporters think we can expect from him in the playoffs. Best case scenario we get regular-season production from him, which simply isn't good enough. We can't afford to give 20-30 minutes to a player who completely disappears.
Either he needs to be transitioned off the team or scaled back to an extremely limited role or the dream is dead.
I think most supporters of bonner (and I am one) agree that his minutes should be limited if the game dictates or his performance is sub-par. I have no problem seeing bonner play 5-10 minutes or even 25-30 minutes, as long as the spurs end up the W.
Lol Popovich loves that guy.
Bonner is the Spurs version of JJ Barea. Or Joel Anthony. Coach's favorites who sooner or later will kill their teams.
Oh, I certainly hope Splitter takes most of Bonner's minutes by the end of the season, and I hope he stays healthy the whole remainder of the season to be in a position to do so.
He is some .
He sucks ass and Pop looks like the dumb wino he is when he plays him for 30 minutes.
I don't usually yell at my TV, but I have, countless times, yelled at my TV when Matt Bonner is playing basketball. He is a of a shooter, and that draws attention, spacing the floor and opening lanes. Matt is definitely a valuable player to the Spurs, with the type of offense they run. HOWEVER, his lack of speed means he has to defend players a step or two back because theyll beat him with their first step and he'll be playing behind (likely foul situation and possible and 1, with Bonner defending). When he is brought out to the perimeter, this is dangerous, and its no surprise a number of teams bring him out to free-throw extended or further and exploit the distance he gives up when playing defense. Players are not afraid of Bonner. As well, because he is SLOW AS , his defensive rotations are often behind, giving the player he is D'ing up an opportunity to get an open look coming off a screen. AND, because he gives up so much space on defensive rotations, the rest of the team has to play help D, and that gives the player coming off the screen an opportunity to pass down to an open team mate(s) that may be cutting. I've even seen Bonner just run at his assignment after just plain getting caught falling asleep, WITH HIS HANDS DOWN.
Look at the other side of the ball. Bonner can shoot, very well, but if you pressure him, he has to give the ball up. He can't handle the ball very well, so if you funnel him into the paint, he is likely going to put up some half-assed attempt at a layup or kick out an iffy pass. How many times have you seen Bonner handling the ball and just cringed? How many of his little floaters fall? But then there are games where he goes off. . .
Matt Bonner is an intelligent player, but he's not without his faults and watching him play defense ing kills me.
On the other hand, Splitter has been getting owned down low. I know everybody is in love with him, but he gets too many 3 second calls, (still adjusting), and gets a lot of foul calls because he hasn't built a rapport with the officials and plays physical D in a league that is becoming increasingly more vaginal. He needs time to develop and is not going to peak anytime soon. I say play McDyess more often, his game is nice. He has a role and sticks to it. He has a reliable shot from the elbow/free-throw extended, usually makes safe, fundamental passes, passes into and out of the post well, doesn't take too long to defer when his shot is not there, and, most importantly, he can body up the heavier bigs in this league.
Yeah all that you said can be solved in 2 words TROY MURPHY ( 6-11 / rebounder / 3pt shooter / has testicles - yeah thats a shot at you matt bonner)
How can you hate bonner?He is a nice guy....
ginger ting on this thread!! lol
LOL Ginger straight up tin threes on ya haters
Hilarious that when he shoots like today he plays barely over 15 mins...
That awkward floater to end the 1st quarter was probably a sign of things to come.
He will obviously not shot like that most games, but it's great when he does since those game busters buy the big 3 resting time.
Great overall win for the Spurs. Nice to see Red have a good game.
booner whipping a storm on spurstalk
I just wish Bonner would just be consistent from game to game. He is either great, or terrible.
