Am I in bizarro world right now? I'm at work, get off in 10 minutes...no way this could be ing happening. Is this a put on? Come on, guys, stop joking. It isn't funny.

[MannyIsGod]

This move makes perfect sense, quite frankly. For as well as he's played, Tiago is just a horribly bad matchup when Ibaka is in there. Bonner will provide space and will can guard Ibaka on the perimeter well enough. I like Tiago matching up with Adams much more.

3 years of progress only to revert back to the 2011 Spurs tbh

Matty gonna come through

So if Bonner starts no Perkins and Ibaka guards Tim and is still in the lane, what is the advantage?

Pop has finally gone all the way and moved up garbage time to 12 minutes left in the 1st.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Mamba del Roja has been decent for his standards for a good two solid years, but...

I can't believe our secret ing weapon against the Oklahoma City Thunder is supposed to be Matt ing Bonner.

Think of how hilarious it will be if it works.

It could of been Ayers, it could have been Ayers it, could have been Ayers *while rocking back and forth in a corner*

It makes sense. It aligns the bench big rotations too, which I like. The splitter/diaw combo spacing works well off the second unit. If (big if) the spurs are lucky to advance I expect something like this against MIA also.

[DPG21920]

Tim better be fully committed to leaving Perkins to rotate and protect the rim.

If the OKC is smart he would move Durrant to the 4 and have him guard Bonner. It would keep Durrant rested on D thats for sure

[RD2191]

Poor Pop, his dementia finally caught up to him.

[Horry Hipcheck]

So if Bonner starts no Perkins and Ibaka guards Tim and is still in the lane, what is the advantage?

Go for spacing early, bring Diaw in off the bench in the hopes that Bonner is doing more damage than Splitter would be, let Diaw take over from there.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Poor Pop, his dementia finally caught up to him.

[DPG21920]

It should, actually.

We will see.

[ace3g]

[CGD]

I just pray we dont have another 2012 ibaka 15/15 performance or the Perkins starts lighting it up.

[313]

Tim better be fully committed to leaving Perkins to rotate and protect the rim.

thisssss

[MannyIsGod]

Tim better be fully committed to leaving Perkins to rotate and protect the rim.

This will likely hurt them rebounding wise a lot but they're already giving up a ton of offensive rebounds so maybe not.

[SpurPadre]

So this is official? Ok, I'm about to say goodbye to my computer screen and smash the out of it... SOMEONE tell me it's a sick joke, for crying out loud!!!!1
