Ludden: Bonner still learning Spurs' mantra

[NASpurs]

Replace "Matt Bonner" with "Richard Jefferson" and it's the exact same .

[Mr. Body]

Pop's Mantra is playing goddamn Matt Bonner til the wheels fall off.

[Duncan2177]

Bonner sucks

[jjktkk]

Great bump.

[DeadlyDynasty]

I don't even remember where I was in October 2006

[ohmwrecker]

This is pretty funny. I still say Bonner should emulate Danny Ferry all the time. I guess that's not so revolutionary an idea . . .

You guys are being a little rough on Bonner...


THIS is the year he will break through in the playoffs...

What wheels?

[TJastal]

it's only been 5 years, not 6

[crc21209]

Ludden should write a follow-up article led: "Bonner STIIILLL learning Spurs mantra."

[cheguevara]

$10,000,000 through 2014

[cheguevara]

For now, Bonner's top concern is learning the Spurs' system. After watching Ferry become a capable team defender, the Spurs think Bonner can do the same.

6 ing years

UPDATE:

7 ing years

Why on earth would somebody write an article on Matt Bonner in a national publication?

[timvp]

The questions will be whether he can survive the Spurs' high expectations and the pressure that comes with it

Once he failed that test, Pop should have given up on him. About four years ago, tbh.

Sorry, you are just a Pop hater. Who knows better- a coach with 4 rings or a guy who writes on an internet forum?

Hail Pop!

Like most of us, saw this coming. You can polish a turd all you want, and all you'll get is shiny crap.

The WCF collapse wasn't all on Bonner, but still did enough damage to help get the Spurs in a hole they couldn't climb out of. At least Pop finally saw the light and went away from using him...but it was too little, too late. Hopefully, that mentality will at least be fresh next season, and he will either find away to move Matt, or keep him on the end of the bench where he belongs.

Great guy. But politely go ing somewhere else.

lol learning lol in his 30s lol pussy

[Libri]

Pop really expected him to rebound considering the length of his arms?

[I need 5]

Danny Ferry had heart. That is the difference between him and Bonner. He took hard fouls and really mixed it up inside. He was a decent rebounder and very scappy as well.

Bonner's fine work starts in April.
