Anyone else thrilled with Bonner's minutes?

His defense on Kenyon was spot on. Make him shoot 20 footers. I'll take him jacking up almost threes as opposed to anything else.

He also had an awesome block on Blake. Made me, and the people sitting in my section, cheer like crazy.

Neal is going to worry me more than Bonner this series.

I swear I cringed every time Neal brought the ball up court last night.

Manu needs to play point and Gary SG... Either that or give Mills a shot

We were having Neal bring the ball up and then hand off to Manu to get the half court set going. But the Clippers just pressed the out of Neal. Bledsoe is just as strong as Neal and much quicker. He was giving him the devil.

This was the most worrisome part about the game for me. I think having Manu bringing the ball up dealing with heavy pressure will hinder him working his magic in the half court. Parker, they really cant touch with one man bringing the ball up, its futile. Mills speed may be needed for what should be a routine part of a PGuards game; getting the ball past the half court line.

Give Vinny a polite palm clap for taking advantage.

Bonner is finally going to be used as he should. He can be more comfortable in not being asked to do too much in the playoffs now that Boris, and to some extent Jackson, are present. And add Tiago of course.

Rule #1: don't ever chase CP3 down the court when you're a big clumsy clod.

Back on the subject, Pop went with what worked last night, and you have to give him kudos for that.

I agree I am not a fan of small ball but you can't argue with what works.

I thought Bonner was surprisingly good defensively against the Jazz's big men. This series requires more athleticism and speed though.
