The Official "I hope Matt Bonner does this in the playoffs" thread

**phxspurfan** · 03-05-2011

M. Bonner 24:19 6-7 6-7 0-0 +26 0 5 5 1 1 1 0 0 0 18

Let's see... 24 minutes, 18 points, 5 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 assist and 6/7 from three. We could really use that against the Lakers, Mavs and Magic

that's right, I said Magic

I'm not a big fan of Bonner - I think his large amount of playing time is counter productive to the strength of good Spurs teams in the past, but his confidence is at an all time high and it's proving to be an important strength of the Spurs 2011.

He's at the point now that it's more likely he'll be this consistent in the playoffs than not. I just hope he's not forced fed minutes at times when he's more of a liablity on defense than him being an asset on offense.

Bonner is shooting .513 from beyond the arc...that's just INSANE!!!

**realtimmyfan** · 03-05-2011

Consistency from the 3 pt line is the key to beat LA/Mavs in the WCF.

it's top notch, but Korver was at .536 last year and Kapono was .514 in 2007

I'm not a religious person... But, let us pray...

I gotta co-sign this....hope Bonner keeps proving me wrong as I have not been a Bonner supporter all season ...

but hope Bonner has turned the corner and his choking days are behind him...

**Spurs7794** · 03-05-2011

I still think his choking is overstated. He was terrible in the 09 playoffs but in 2010, he didn't shoot amazing but he had several games with multiple threes in them. Then games 3 and 4 against Phoenix, he was great and had about 15 pts in each game.

Signed.

If Bonner can do what he did tonight in the Playoffs, the Spurs will be unbeatable....unbeatable.....

I understand your view. At some point in the game when the Spurs three ball was cooling down,and the ball was not being moved as much he needed to get benched so Blair could come in with his defense and inside game.

**mingus** · 03-05-2011

i've got a gut feeling that this is the year it comes together for Bonner in the playoffs. he might only bring one thing to the table, but he's having an historically good season in terms of 3 point %. anybody know what the record is for a season?

**haveblue** · 03-05-2011

They should have played the Coach B theme song during the game. That would have been epic.

**m33p0** · 03-05-2011

make it happen... make it happen... make it happen...

**Splits** · 03-05-2011

If Matty continues to get good looks, he is the last person I'm afraid of disappearing in the playoffs. He's taken the road of hard knocks, is one of the smartest players in the league, and is shooting with ridiculous confidence. Can't wait to see him all over ST in the playoffs.
