Even that kid has better form than Bonner. Bleechhhh.. makes me wanna puke watching that re ed release of his.
Wow!
If the other centers in the league were that kid's size, Matt would be unstoppable!
So would they though.Wow!

What is the point of posting this? It's not even from the off season.
If your goal was to piss people off then you've done just that. I like you about as much as I do Bonner.
Yeah, Bonnner has probably one of the ugliest releases for a shooter currently in the nba, well other then Marrion that is. His release is so low and slow that it's no wonder he is afraid to shoot it with a defender 10 feet of him.

you have Bonner release sickness?Even that kid has better form than Bonner. Bleechhhh.. makes me wanna puke watching that re ed release of his.
you might want to get that Bonner/Pop hate checked out before it kills you.
I agree Bonner is pretty much useless, but for all the heat he gets around here he's not as useless as RJ.
Damn, if the Spurs could some how get the best 3 pt shooting guy in the league then we might....wait. Oh yeah.
Ridiculous Bonner hate still alive. RJ deserves criticism. He was brought in to be a difference maker. Bonner was brought in to make 3 pointers. That's what he did better than anyone in the league.
True, but he can't do it when it matters. And we still gave him a 10m contract.
RJ and Bonner are both in top 10 worst players in the NBA
I'm not biased, I hate on them both the same. Because come playoff time when it all matters they are both useless.
I thought Bonner improved this past year and hit some big shots against the Grizzlies in game 1. The series was lost due to Memphis eating us up in the paint.
They defended the paint and TP shied away from it (as usual in the playoffs) and threw up crap jumpers and didn't control the clock well.
We looked like amateurs and folded under pressure. That's why we lost against Memphis. Not because of Bonner. RJ was RJ and wasn't taking the ball to the rim aggressively or getting to the free throw line.
Pathetic.
He's not the best 3pt shooter in the league, he's the best 3pt shooter during the regular season, but once the playoffs come along he chokes. His 3pt shooting has been terrible during the playoffs. His missed 3 point shots just KILL the offense, the Spurs would keep on feeding him the ball possession after possession and he'd keep on missing them. His terrible rebounding not only took away possessions from the spurs but gave a load of possessions to the opposing team. Bonner's late rotation defense is also some of the worst I've ever seen, rarely does he actually make a good rotation. The Spurs can't get back to a defensive team with someone like that.
There were many contributing factors to the Spurs losing. Bonner was one of them, so was RJ, TP and Splitter getting PT too late, and our small SG/SF getting posted up on ALL series long and getting scored/rebounded on at will.
So far the Spurs have fixed one of their problems, they traded Hill for a big Sf with good defense that can also guard SG's. That also opened up PT for Anderson, a legit SG with excellent size.
The Spurs also tried to get rid of RJ, but of course nobody wanted him.
Not that the other bigs played well, but Matty was instrumental part of this problem, rather than a solution. Heck, you can go back and see Memphis going directly at him time and time again while he was out there.
And yeah, his heroics in game 1 are nice and all. There were another 5 games after that. As pointed out plenty of times, the "best 3 point shooter in the NBA" was the 37th or so best 3 point shooter during the playoffs. Freaking Keith Bogans shot better than him in the playoffs.
He's not the sole reason we lost the series, but he's a marginal player on a position where we should be getting a lot more production for 20 mpg.
I don't even hate Bonner. I just hate that he is used too much. If Pop used him right he would be a great player in our system. Just 10 minutes here and there as-needed, and he would make plenty of 3's, without feeling so much pressure. Right now he is asked to do too much, things that he physically can't do, because we are so thin at the PF position. Adding another solid post/rebounding player to that rotation would be perfect.
understandable argument, but the reality is the Spurs need somebody better than Bonner to get his minutes. Bonner had a great 3pt %, but he still only averaged 7 and 3 per game. With the mileage and age on the big 3, the Spurs need a lot more. Bonner does not play good defense and he doesn't even foul when needed. If you're only getting 7 and 3 (and no impact on defense) out of a 20+ minute player, a stellar 3pt % doesn't really matter.
Why is Bonner unable to run like a normal human being? He needs to consult a running coach asap.
He isn't the best shooter later in the year or the playoffs! He does well in the first half and gets his % very high, then later on it dwindles down and then we have playoff BONNER! He warms up early it seems towards the end of the season for his choke jobs.
He also when not hitting that shot does nothing else, so why not hate him? I hate him and RJ, wish they both were gone last year.THIS IS THE FLAT OUT TRUTH!
regular season Bonner shot .457 from 3 point range
playoff Bonner this year was 6 of 18 for .333
Two more makes and playoff Bonner is .444
Three more makes and playoff Bonner is .500
lol the truth.
Exactly. The ignorance of looking at small samples. A couple of shots rattle out, and the guy can't score in the playoffs. A couple of those shots fall, and he's the best shooter in the world.
They don't bother to look at how many of those were desperation shots taken right at the buzzer, because the offense stalled. And they don't need to remember things like passes that were so far off the mark that he had to reach and get re-set, which gave the defender time to close. (Shots that would have been wide open, if the pass had been delivered decently.)
Bonner can't defend Zach Randolph heads up, everyone knows it. But it's not like there was a lot of help defense going on in that series - at least not by the Spurs.
Simple minds look for simple answers. And most of the time they find them. The fact is, the biggest reasons the Spurs lost that series were all on the Memphis side of the equation. And on the Spurs' side, the biggest factors were Tony being off his game and RJ being a non-factor.
Some more truth for you - Jefferson was 6 for 17 from 3pt land
lol excuses
Isn't that the point though? That he didn't make them? That's his specialty and what he brings to the team. I mean, we can play the 'what if' game with everybody. If Randolph doesn't make that three pointer, if RJ makes 3 more shots, if Manu takes a shot at the end of game 3...
Matty was actually shooting lights out during the RS all the way through February/March... then he really started shooting badly, which dipped his 3pt % considerably.
