Fabbs getting served like his gf at Denny's
Matt Bonner in the 5 losses he played in: 10-29 FG% (.345) and 4-16 3-PT% (.250)
Matt Bonner in the 30 wins he played in: 85-164 FG% (.518) and 58-107 3-PT% (.542)
Matt Bonner in the 35 total games he played in: 95-194 FG% (.490) and 62-123 3-PT% (.504)
God damn the rocket has been a beast this season. .504 on 123 shots is insane.
FWIW, 3 of the 5 losses Matt Bonner played in were on the 2nd game of b2b games.
Solid D showing why he has that gold medal next to his name.And just wrecking Fabbs.

That must have hurt. Hope lube was used.
When we really need him to come thru you mean? Vs being up by 20 points on non-b2b or better yet playoff games (when the series has not been decided).
Hardly all on Bonbon the Philly loss. OTOH, Bonbon in 18 minutes doing 1 made shot (hey 1 for 1) with a beastly 2 rebounds and his usual lock down D. Aka what playoff opponents of past have said, "just give the ball to whomever Bonner is guarding".
Okay tonight is another b2b vs Wizards with Splitter down.
It's again an op for Bonner to come thru.
2-1 since the return.
.666, the number of the beast.![]()
Why do people hate Bonner so much? Did he drown some puppies or something??
Watch some playoff games 2008 09 10 when the Duncan window still very much was alive.
Some of us have wanted to see the Spurs return to Championship form and stop the pussyball-favoritizmball that FinleyPopperBonner have forced upon us the past 3 years.
I actually like what has come down this year up until now. Popper has used Bonbon in good situations, and has not done so to the detriment of FAR more deserving players ie BlairDog and Splitter (altho the Splitter benching has been annoying, lets cut Poppy some slack as he may be aware of Splitts tendency to reinjure and was simply following good counsel from medical staff perhaps).
I think most agree that Bonner can be effective if used in the right situations. Whether he will come through in the playoffs this year remains to be seen.
The Spurs playoff chances depend on Bonner, Neal, Hill and Jefferson continuing to make 3's. They need someone to be hot, like Jaren Jackson was in 1999 or Stephen Jackson in 2003 and hit 3's when it matters. I could see Neal being the guy who steps up. He seems to be pretty calm under pressure.
Fabbs is just happy the Spurs are winning despite their horrible coach.![]()
schtickk you are spot on.
I get a kick out of the Bonbon injury because it forced Poppy to use others.![]()
Ever thought of emailing Pop, give em a few player personnel ideas?
