Really? I thought it was the other way around. I thought Splitter was basically the hit to the groin. Blair looked like something on the knee/ankle.

I heard Blair was fine. Splitter - I'm not sure. I thought it was just a knee to balls/groin, but someone said it was something with his hip. I was just speculating.
All i have read is the le in this thread. I agree! Its so damn sad to see bonner in there in crunch time! Defense and rebounding wins. You live and die by the 3. Everyone knows that. Maybe pop forgot.
Blair seemed fine after the game.
True, but I would've taken Dice on Gooden instead of Bonner's useless corpse out there...
Finely made many clutch shots here, you are serious? He made more clutch shots when they count than Bonner EVER DID HERE, period! He did not play D no, but come on now. Finley nearly helped us win that Dallas series in 06 and Denver game where he hit what 8 of them? He also won that last game for us literally against the NO in 09! He hit some clutch shots here, period. Bonner in a huge game will go 1-5 and miss the last shot if you give it to him.He is some shyt when it counts as I just said! He is horrible! I am still pissed we resigned him because I knew Pop would play him alot again, he is not a spot player here he is a bigtime player here in mins as long as he is on the team. He is horrible.
I never saw any official word, but the groin muscles are hip adductors, so an injury to the groin is technically a "hip injury".
Not looking forward to more Bonner if Blair and Splitter are injured. Where was Dice? I almost prefer to see RJ play PF in crunch situations than Bonner (and I'm not a fan of small ball). But Bonner is useless if the opponent is closing out on him at the 3pt line.
Bonner was getting 20+ minutes and playing most of the 4th quarters lately even without the injuries so I don't think that was that much of a factor as it might be stated.
I am so angry the Spurs won.
Pop ing sucks, bonner ing sucks and this team is obviously a non contender....
we would be 24-0 if splitter played...... fire pop.
Bonner just being the alpha dog he was born to be.
Well the argument that has been made time and time again is that he spaces the floor, whether he takes a shot or not. Not that I necessarily agree with it.
And didn't I tell everyone weeks ago that after burning so many teams that left him wide open for the first 20 games teams would start to pay attention and not allow him free easy looks?
Yet Bonner will continue to practice his uncontested 3's.
And didn't I also say that Gooden would burn the spurs on the o-boards and Pop should use Splitter? This is another one of those games that leaves everyone scratching their head as to what Pop was thinking. Or even if he was.

I thought Bucks defense was great on 4q, the 3pt line was always covered and the paint was packed. I'd love to see Duncan and Splitter together on that final quarter. Draw some fouls, make Bucks bigs sweat a little.
Manhinmi or 1,000 other better NBA choices.
Choices.
Amazing how there is always a "valid" excuse for Splitter to stay parked on the bench so the red tampon can get his 20 minutes.
I was at the game and kept yelling at Pop to take out Bonner for Dice or Jefferson. I don't know why Pop can't see that every team considers Bonner to be the Spurs weakest link! !
Dice?
And if Dice was tired, I'd rather just go small. Seriously, think about it. Bonner doesn't block, doesn't play defense, doesn't rebound, and he wasn't even taking 3s last night. So he is just a huge liability.
I'd rather go small and run double teams all over the court. Bonner is going to get attacked all night. They're just going to pass inside and let Bogut do his thing. At least with double teams and lots of pressure we'd force the Bucks to move the ball around.
I have a feeling my "reformed Pop hater" status isn't going to last very long.
Normally, I'd agree, but Gooden was owning Dice with the midrange jumper. Thing is, Bonner wasn't doing much better. Basically, no one could stop Gooden when he was on in the third. It was frustrating to watch. But you know what, nothing was more frustrating than watching Bogut completely own Tiago in the paint. I swear, Tiago has no weight down low.
And you know what, Pau Gasol is roughly the same build, but at least he plays with a pair of pelotas in the block. Whatever they need to do to help Tiago play more consistent D against real bigs, I'm all for it. Maybe he should just eat a bunch of sammiches all Summer long.
I knew when I opened this thread there would be plenty of people pulling the "but the Spurs won" card. That works for now...but it won't in the playoffs when the Spurs are sent fishing yet again when losing playing the same lineup under the same cir stances.
He just needs consistent playing time. He was dominant in the paint in the game I saw over the summer against the likes of Chandler & Odom.
You know who those guys are, right?
