Just for perspective...http://www.nba.com/spurs/stats/2011/index.html
Danny Green (6'6) - 18 minutes played - 5 rebounds
Cory Joseph (6'3)- 19 minutes played - 3 rebounds
Matt Bonner (6'10) - 62 minutes played - 1 rebound
Gottamn, you'd think the ball would just happen to bounce your way more than that in 62 minutes, even if you do have little T-Rex arms.
Yes, but how many times has he spread the floor....
This is all I've been ing about as I watch these games. Well, tonight gave me alot to about. But across all of these three games I'd say I've been ing about this in particular a whole lot.
In fact, SHAMELESS PLUG: check out my recap of player performances in the season opener on SPURSOFTHEMOMENT.COM. Bonner's section is last in the article. Needless to say he got zero rebounds in that game too. In 28 minutes. He's 6'10''. Smh.
The link for the site is in my sig.
What a waste of a roster spot
No ... missed freethrows or something. One rebound in three games for a regular rotation big seems impossible.
Whats crazy is the Spurs still did not get outrebounded during the game with both teams getting 46.
That is crazy considering how we were missing all of our shots and they were making all of theirs. Blair and Splitter were doin' work!
Different year and same result from this piece of ! Some idiots tried to back him so long in here and other places and now they can't even start to defend this guy. If you are a Spurs fan and like this guy on your fave team you are an idiot, that or his wife or family.
KL got a rebound while he was on the bench. Just saying.
He doesn't even spread the floor anymore. They're able to recover to him and force him to put the ball on the ground. What's the point of spreading the floor if he won't take the shot?
I wish Bonner would take an arrow to the knee...
Bonner's rebounding is almost as bad as OP's math skillz.
I wonder what its gonna take for Pop to pull Bonner out of the rotation. Won't ever happen, but it's something to pessimistically ponder.
Seriously
He won't be pulled. You have an aged Duncan, Blair, and Splitter. Spurs FO needs to make a move for a vet big right now.
We know this. Pop and the DWI FO apparently don't.
He is useless, no need to even play him a minute anymore! He even starts out bad this year, atleast we know what we have already and thats his ceiling for later. He usually starts out hot and fades like clockwork, this year he will suck all year long.
I'm hoping he's just out of shape or winded and out of sync without training camp. And it's not for personal pridesake.
In my oppinion this is a good sign for spurs fans. Bonner usually gives us fools gold to start the season, plays and shoots quite well which makes Pop play him lots of minutes the rest of the season regardless of how he performs.
Maybe Bonner's totally horrible start, (1 rebound in 3 games is inexplicable) will force Pop to get him out of the rotation sooner rather then later? I'd rather Bonner suck now so he gets off the team or to the end of the bench instead of having him playing big minutes all year long.
In short: Keep sucking Matt! Will be good for the team in the long run.
If rebounding was so great, there would be a rebounding event at all-star weekend.
Matt Bonner didn't get a 4 year deal on top of the previous 3 year deal he had signed by rebounding. Or by playing defense. Or by performing in the playoffs.
2008-2014: the true Bonner era.
Pop will retire Bonner's number while Bowen's jersey is worn by 10-day nobodies.
I really do hope Bonner keeps up his bad 3pt shooting, eventually it may force the Spurs to make a trade for another big man.
