When Matt Bonner fakes the 3 and drives...

Um...this won't be popular, but when Bonner fakes the 3 and drives he actually finishes more times than not.

Bonner is a vastly underrated defender. He may not contest shots at the rim but otherwise, he is solid. His pick and roll defensive is especially strong.

BTW, I was referencing him guarding Josh Smith with good results.

Josh Smith doesn't have the best basketball iq. He's his own worst enemy on offense alot of times. He's got the athleticism to be a perenial allstar.

That is how I feel when Bonner pulls this move.

He fakes me out in the sense that when his uncoordinated ass fakes the shot and drives, I'm thinking, "Wait... this guy is a ing NBA caliber player?!".... then he makes it and I'm confused. Then he "runs" down the court and gets dunked on for an and-1 and gets out rebounded by everyone while playing defense like he's smoked several bowls... then makes 6 threes... and then disappears for the next ten games... and I'm all mind ed, aka faked out with ankles broken in several places....

according to timvp's grades thread he punked josh smith. That alone should earn him at least a week of downtime on the ing parade.

10/10

I think he fakes himself more than anyone, because he looks like he has not clue what to do next.

This is one of the better Bonner reviews that I have read.
