Matt Bonner appreciation thread

[Russ]

I love Matt Bonner.

But I hope it's him.

You mean players who make unimportant shots in blowout games and then proceed to miss every single open shot in the playoffs?

Sure, but he was very unique for his time..a 40+% 3-point shooting big that wasn't a liability on defense and always a net positive was extremely rare..

He was a poor playoff performer, sure, but his style of play was unique for it's time, and has now become prevalent around the NBA..Bonner was one of the pioneers of today's era, tbh..

farewell

GArbage more times than not in big games....... But seemed like a great guy and teamMate.

Matt Bonner did not pioneer the stretch 4 position. Matt Bonner was not a "Net Positive" on defense. I understand we're supposed to romanticize things for the sake of remembrance threads but sheesh.

I said he was one of the pioneers, which is true, and a net positive, overall, which is a fact

I will add that my gf, who is a ginger, has a Matt Bonner signed jersey. The great red hope.

as long as you're not married and don't have children yet, there's still hope. 5 years is nothing, as I've seen sooooooo many times with others around me...

Leaving the Target center. Might have just attended Matt Bonners last NBA game as a player.

I respect you Harlem but you know the net positive thing with Bonner is arguably the most misleading stat in basketball history.

Keep her! I loves me some redheads!

Premature it is definitely premature.

The only place Matt Bonner was a net positive was in the plus/minus column, and the sandwich making industry.

EDP445 has been waiting for this moment

[r0drig0lac]

King plus/minus will never go away, unfortunately

[Spurtacular]

Bonner beasting; bad news for Ralph.

Interesting thing happened in the game against the Wolves.

Bonner came out of the bench first, hit a couple of 3 point shots and to make it worse, Butler only came into play come garbage time.

The guy making the call was Messina and he may have just telegraphed who is going to be cut.

Appears that is may be Butler's last day.

Sorry mah Razzy Buttts

Bonner's here to stay

Matty should have retired tbh

He played yesterday like he wasn't going to retire. He also seemed to have a new stroke going. He's firing away with very little hesitation and with a very quick release.

[MultiTroll]

Served his time in SA with class. Made some big shots over the years. Seems like a good guy and I wish him well in whatever he does.

Automatic pinking if Bonner stays.
