Pop always reacts. Always. AHF, you learned that lesson back in 2006.
that ginger waste of space. And Pop for thinking his adjustment tonight needed to be to trot the softest sack of on this squad out to start. We've never recovered from that start. We're in trouble when Pop thinks the adjustment to answer Mark freakin' Jackson is to trot that scab out there to get worked.
Meanwhile, game one hero Boris Diaw rots on the bench while that sorry excuse for a big man plays turnstile out there tonight. In ten more minutes than Diaw tonight, Bonner has two points, two freakin' points! The Warriors aren't even guarding him and he catches the ball on the perimeter and proceeds to put it on the floor. Just like every postseason since he got here, that guy is a pussy in the postseason.
Tim, Tony, and Manu deserve more.

What's even more annoying is that he talked so much this season about how the Spurs lost their iden y against OKC last year. The Duncan/Diaw/Splitter frontcourt, more specifically the Duncan/Splitter combo, was this team's iden y all season. It's what everyone said made them different this year, and the stats backed it up. Excellent point differential, great defensive numbers.
And guess what? None of that this game. Back to Bonner starting circa 2009, small ball, no Diaw, no Duncan/Splitter pairing. If that's not an iden y change, IDK what is.
TP/Green/Kawhi/TD/Splitter is the best defensive lineup in the NBA and Pop started Bonner tonight
I was scared when Bonner started.
One, it showed Pop panicked between game one and tonight, and went with the knee jerk lineup change to try to overcome what he saw on tape.
Two, he did it with the biggest candy ass on this team, that's demonstrated time and again that he goes into the fetal position when the calendar turns to May. This guy is the biggest reason this team hasn't made it back to the Finals since their last le. Pop gets desperate, and thinks he can put in Bonner and that Matt will magically turn into Robert Horry to save the day. Not gonna happen.
i was waiting for the duncan-splitter all game long. instead, i had a dose of bonner-neal that made be gag.
Reminds me of '06 - Pop trying to take away the size advantage to match up with smallball
how is Bonner to blame in any way, shape or form? i dont think Pop wanted to start Splitter due to his injury. Diaw should have started, sure, but i doubt Bonner is the guy i would point to for the loss
Uhh, the least of the Spurs problems in game 2 was Matt Bonner. Kawhi bricking open 3s, Manu making stupid play after stupid play, Splitter playing like a WNBAer, Dubs making all kinds of bull , TDs lack of interior defense, Parker sprinting and falling down all over the place turning the ball over, chippy after chippy missed in the 4th quarter, Klay Thompson putting up career highs in only 1/2 of the game, Manu looking like he had a lobotomy, Neal chucking and missing and missing and missing. Bonner was not the problem.
lol blaming Bonner for this loss
tnt kenny - spurs should playblair...........................
Gee, offense ground to a halt, defense not stopping anyone, Parker getting beat up out of position, Klay Thompson running wild, guys wide open, no passes moving toward the basket. Yeah, how can you possibly blame Bonner?
And why does Bonner keep trying to drive to the hoop? Why does he keep passing up the three point shot? Isn't that what he is supposed to be good at?
SMALL BALL!.....why won't you just DIE!!!
not gonna blame ginger on this particular game, but LOL @ peeps that were saying Pop wasn't gonna go to ginger in the playoffs.
Ginger: 16 mins
Diaw: 7 mins
Splitter: 10 mins
Splitter is the biggest waste of space, can't believe he blew an easy dunk/layup. He's earned a booklet of food stamps in the offseason
When Bonner plays extended minutes, Spurs get eliminated. Just sayin'
Splitter hadn't even practiced yet, no way was he going to get significant minutes tonight.
We were a layup line early with Bonner "manning" the middle (and collapsing doubles on postups for open threes).It set the tone for the game, let GS get up early, and that was that.
I'm sorry, at this point everyone on that team knows that Bonner's going to be a ing choke in the postseason, and Pop's grand adjustment from game 1 tonight was to give Bonner ten more minutes of run than Game 1 hero Boris Diaw.
It was ing dumb.
Go run that +/- for the playoffs since Bonner got here and get back to me.
Stop posting, tbh
Yet he was still better than Bonner, who got twice as many minutes as Diaw, who was a big contributor to the comeback in game 1. Again, you're not this stupid.
The Matt Bonner Era continues.
