10pts 5boards 0to in 24min with the 2nd highest +/- to Diaw. I think he did alright tonight.
No.
Matt Bonner probably cannot see the arena during pressure moments, likely gets the black veil over his eyes and just heaves up a prayer.
When we are up early in games, Matt is money, no pressure, it's practice basically. Late, he knows the situation, chokes. Not a money player. I've seen the same things in billiards, individual free stroking until a quarter hits the table then he's sweating like Richard Simmons. Suddenly the shot changes.
Our rejuvenated Red Rocket's raucous rebound ripped our resilient, rascal rivals' rectums royally, robustly, and redundantly.
exactly hes not getting open looks come playoof time everything will be contested ,thats bonner at his worse folks
He's decent, but I thought the topic was about his clutch, or lack thereof, shooting.
I think air balling open threes down the stretch when ur as good a shooter as Matt is something that deserves attention.
As you saw tonight, it doesn't matter if he gets open looks or not, the fact that it's a playoff game will hinder his shot more than any defender could.
It's something that can b worked out when u as good a shooter as Matt. Takes him relaxing and shooting freely. AROD use to tighten up too, but I saw him work it out.
Matt Bonner!
I like this man Bonner and what he brings to our mighty franchise. The rain-making threes tracing their arc across the heavens. The pointy elbows placed with precision in the sinewy ribs of our foes. The klutzy knock-kneed run upcourt after a proud Spurs defensive stop. Yes, all these things draw us around our televisions in gladful awe as we behold this unlikely specimen participating in sport designed for the most graceful of men.
But, my fellow fans, don't you think there is something amiss in his costuming? Our hero Matthew--all red-haired, be-freckeled, and barrel-chested--is ill-suited in a traditional basketball outfit. In perfect honesty, he looks like an upside-down pear prancing on toothpicks; his scrawny lower legs kicking out sideways as he makes his heroic runs from end to end, wearing a noticeable groove in the hardwood between the three-point arcs.
Perhaps the solution to this dilemma is a simple one: Rather than the traditional baggy shorts, Red Rocket would appear far more graceful, manly, and intimidating in a pair of fitted capri trousers. Capris would conceal his underdeveloped quadriceps whilst allowing his lower legs the freedom of their awkward sideways parabolic path. Imagine Bonner, bejeaned in silver and black capris, squaring up for a crucial wing three-pointer while the Spurs Nation looks on in pride. So inspiring, in a virile sort of way.
Bonner doesn't have to make 3s to be valuable. If he can rebound decently, play good post defense, play good team defense, make smart passes, pump fake and drive on contested 3s and not turn it over, all of those things contribute to his great +/- totals as much as made 3s.
Unfortunately, his entire game has gone haywire in the playoffs. Hopefully that won't be the case this year. With Diaw here, or even Leonard who can play the 4 in smallball and rebound better than Bonner, the pressure will be off Matt. Even if he's getting abused in the post, we have other guys who can do that.
I thought you were going to go with 80's Larry Bird shorts
playoff bonner showed up in the 4th quarter
team get feeding him for whatever reason and he bricked all of them
barely hit the rim and you could tell it wasnt even close
more popovichs fault

not like we needed the offense

Detlef and Kiki, man!!!
The Buck in the middle is Paul Pressey. Later a Spur. Not a great one, to my crushing disappointment at the time.
1:30-1:45 Matty Ice takes a all over SpursTalk tbh
Schrempf not in a sonic uni confused me. Never knew van deweigh was so fugly!
Ugly? Look at that photo. He's definitely not the ugliest. Detlef is also confusingly pre-mullet, so your mistake is understandable.
They would all benefit from form-fitting capris.
All the shots he made that game... he went 4-14 from downtown the rest of the series...
lol Detlef Schrempf ...
i dunno what he was doing closing out the game in the final 2mins against the suns
bbb he had 1 good playoff game
Not Paul Pressey, Craig Hodges.
Paul's best moments as a Spur were as an assistant coach.
He's a really good guy.
in this system his better than that clown rj who basically did nothing when his offensive game isnt on, bonner plays defense and effort shown his hustling....
his pumpfake and attacking the rim for some lame shot has been very consistent if the defense continues to buy his pumpfakes
You lost me at (seriously).
