Bonner hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm probably not but Maybe! Manu? I will wait and see that, he has sucked lately.
I don't know why, but I have this crazy feeling Bonner will go 5 for 5 from threes and Manu will make 6 threes, and the Spurs win by 20+. Parker will be fine as adrenaline and desire get the best of him. Timmy dominates like we've been waiting for him to do, and Cory Joseph finalls plays relaxed and gives the Spurs quality minutes. I originally predicted this to be a low scoring grinder, but with how fans hated on Bonner on Tuesday, I got this feeling he's gonna pull of a Neal on us. Hold me to it! I sure don't want to be eating crow.

Hope you are right! We need Manu and Tim to step it up. Miami is going to come at us with everything they got. Need them to contribute as much as possible.
We all know Bonner and Manu can go off at any time though. I just got a good feeling it's tomorrow! I never am confident when I get these random feelings about how a sporting event will go, but this time I am. I'm also thinking Timmy goes for 20+ points and 15+ rebounds.
Bonner shouldn't be playing in this series. They're guarding him with Mike Miller.
I'm worried about Manu's dribbling. And his turnovers. His dribbling has been very sloppy - not what you expect from a veteran NBA player.
Manu can go off. Hopefully, Bonner stays OFF the court!
Unfortunately, "going off" for Manu these days (whether due to injury or age) is a ~20-point game. I'd love to see it, though.
I suppose Bonner could go off. He got a couple wide open looks in game 3; he just blew his opportunities. With that being said, I don't think he's a good matchup in this series.
Truthfully, though, Manu appears to be moving fairly well. I don't know what was up with his dribbling in game 2; that was horrendous. I don't understand what's up with his jump-shot, either. That's been the real downfall. If he hits his jump-shots, he would also have an easier time at getting to the rim.
Let's hope he comes out and hits a couple threes early on and goes off from there for 25 points. I won't be holding my breath, though.
Unfortunately a good game from him is less stupid jacked up threes and less than 3 stupid TO'sIf he passes it then it throws the guy off so bad he can't set his feet and needs to reset or pass it out instead of a clean shot. He just can't seem to make a normal pass anymore alot of times. I hate the fact he is reduced to this but he is.
it's not unreasonable, really. his reputation as a dead eye shooter (outside of SA fandom) alone is worth 8 minutes of court time.
Tim is the one that's going to rock it tonight.
I am waiting for T-Mac to explode.
Lol I wouldn't hold my breath with Matt "The bigger the game, the worse I play" Bonner.
I dread every minute he is on the court regular season and even moreso in the playoffs/finals. I'm torn between thinking his missed shots in high-pressure games is a mental thing, and the fact that his shot starts so low. He basically brings the ball from his belt line to high above his head during each shot, which gives defenders time to contest. BUT, I'd always welcome him going off. I like how pop pulled Bonner as soon as he missed the open shots in Game 3, however I also think that even if Bonner hits 10 threes in the first 3 quarters he should not play during crunch time.
This is what I'm really looking for tbh.
Manu may be struggling but he is still clutch as and will show up for the big game. Game 4 against GS to take control Manu dropped 20 and a massive statline but didn't get enough help. In game 3 in Memphis to take the 3-0 lead he dropped 20 once again. Manu will up the heat.
The only reason I can see a use of putting Bonner in the game is if the Heat decided to put Rashard Lewis on the floor
No, then we insert T-Mac. Battle of the TOSBs, tbh.
LOL If Bonner hits those threes, ST's gonna explode
But seriously, if Bonner makes those uncontested shots, plus some Shy hooks, life would be easier for the Spurs.
relying on dreams of scrubs and has-beens to go off to have a chance against the world champs..
..false hope..
Mike Miller was the only reason you guys didn't lose by 40 points.
..false hope..
LeBron being secondary to Danny Green in scoring.
Dwayne Wade being a no-show in the second half.
Chris Bosh only shooting jumpers.
Ray Allen and Birdman as game changers.
The last time i posted something like this Manu got injuried, i donīt think Manu is cappable of going off in this series, he doesnīt seem healthy at all.
Prigioni also said yesterday on an interview that he doesnīt think Manu is 100%.
Would love for that to happen, but itīs unlikely.
You want to know who goes off today?
