This is not going to change, he is what he is and thats a fact.
we have 3 clutch 3 pt shooter that have proven they will take and hit a 3. jax, neal. and gino. and even leonard's % is up.
green, and bonner hit occaisionally but defenses are gonna take rests when they see them on the court.
don't play them anymore, unless you have a lead please.
he doesn't spread the floor when no guards/respects him.
i saw plenty of that last night. they even left green alot and packed the lane.
I would just say its a miracle the Spurs got some more help when they did(Diaw) or Bonner would be playing his usual 20-25 min in the playoffs..and the Spurs would be fishing by now...Anyone that defends Bonner now is a Homer to the highest degree!!
Trade his sorry ass or amnesty him. I'm tired of seeing him failing in the playoffs and his no-defense show
Any reasonable person can see the obvious.
"Reasonable" = key word.
Completing 2012 in a way that has Pop again saying to him "You complete me",
without further ado.........
the final BonBon digits for 2012.
2012 Playoffs treys
.348
.143 vs OKC (1-7)
2012 Playoff two point attempts
.225 (2-9)
Shouldn't even count the numbers vs Utah, since they weren't a legit playoff team. got shot 23% from the three point line in the two rounds against decent teams.
If Bonner was clutch, he 'd be the new Robert Horry
Who would you trade him for? Scalabrine. On any decent team he would stay at the end of the bench.
Why we even talk about this piece of bozo anymore is beyond me, he is proven and done here, a proven choker when it matters and nothing more or less. He is a JOKE and should not be a key to any contending team. Bonner is horrible. If you disagree with me here and want to comment about how he does this and that eat a , he is some .

I don't need stats to tell me what my eyes have been seeing the past four years. Regular season success be damned, Bonner is a tried and true playoff choker. The Spurs will always be one-man short and flawed in the frontcourt as long as Bonner is on this roster. No championship-contending team would ever have this guy as part of a rotation.
It's interesting that the series Pop tries to refeature him as the third big we end up losing. All the talk of Bonner being able to draw OKC's bigs out of the paint was garbage. They had Westbrook and Fisher guarding him. A 6'1 pg guarding a 6'10 pf.
Honestly you could leave a tree guarding this coward in the playoffs that just sits there and he would miss, that or an imaginative defender! Either or would work on this bozo.
That's because the NBA western conference playoff teams are certainly on to EXACTLY what we're discussing here. Players read scouting reports and they know that Bonner is a choker. Chase him off the 3-pt line, make him put the ball on the floor or even stick a smaller guy on him at the arc and the result is the same. He's grossly ineffective.
After watching him the bed in the playoffs for four years, it's quite amazing that we're still posting threads about this while the Spurs STILL insist on keeping him around. It's even more comical that the club gave him a new contract last summer.
If RC and Pop should be roundly criticized for anything over the past few years, it would certainly be keeping the red-headed choker around. After so much failure, what else does anyone need to see or expect? It's not working. Time to move on.
That is the reason. It is not about choking, it is about defenses get tighter in the playoffs. Bonner can hit open shots, that is about it. Put a little defensive pressure on him and % drops.
Bonner should have 1 role on this team, as the 5th big, or nothing.
He should never be part of any playoff rotation.
I think that Matty is worth the cap space and deserves the playoff floor time because he occasionally provides a witty quite and never snaps at the local press hounds. Screw championships, just have fun!
