AMEN TO BENCHING BONNER! he makes me mad
I was just saying replying to you saying he didn't help matters. I thought that was an understatement because he really didn't help with anything.
AMEN TO BENCHING BONNER! he makes me mad
I realize there wasn't much of anything to take away from his performance. Again, I was focusing on what I thought to be one of his (and the team's) main downfalls.
yeah what the , i almost broke my tv
I'd rather start Kurt next game and give him most of Bonner's minutes and then bring Drew off the bench and give him more minutes if he is playing well.
Man, Timmy needs some real help out there....Bonner is terrible!
Not playing Hill is crazy too.
Hill actually came up big in one of our wins in Dallas during the regular season.
Hill can play defense and he can at least attack on offense rather than just be a spot up shooter out there.
even at his very best, what does Bonner provide to the Spurs? 3 point shooting, that's it. Spurs don't need Bonner's three point shooting, especially against the Mavs. What they need is big men to play inside the paint. Make Dirk the pussy have to play inside. He can't do it.
This seems so ing obvious. Why does Popo continue to go completely opposite of common sense?
Well Pop must have had Bonner out there in the 4th to spread the floor so he can get Tim room to move inside.
Is it worth it though if Bonner doesn't rebound and gives you nothing on the defensive side of the ball. It's even worse when like tonight he is not taking any shots and scores no points.
And good lord...if finley isn't scoring, PULL HIM!! He is a serious liability of the defensive end. It was hard for me to not run over to the bench and physically throw Bowen onto the floor.
The sad part is- were it not for foul trouble, I fully believe Bonner would have played even more tonight.
While Finley shot well, he was an awful -20 for the game.
Pop needs to play Ime, Bruce and KT more and forget about this Bonner spreading the floor crap.
True. I am thinking Pop won't do my suggestions next game.
He'll probably look at the game film and tell Matt how bad he was and to clean it up. Then he will tell him to shoot more and shoot with confidence they will go in for you.
He'll completely forget about the defensive end though.
I think it's pretty clear that Bonner is mentally weak and has no balls..it's sad to say, and he seems like a good guy, but that's just the truth..
Pop has also gotten soft, which is something I never expected from him..
You know what guys I am madder than I was before.
watching higlights of Derrick Rose kick ass in his first ever playoff game and then Pop sitting Hill is ing crazy.
What is Pop doing this season "These playoffs are not for George Hill". WTF IS POP ON?????????????????????????????????????
George Hill should ing be playing.
I have said Bonner is mentally weak for sometime now. He just keeps proving it over and over again. Pop is worse for playing him when he is not contributing on either end.
True. I'm going to say this too. I think Matt Bonner is the worst starter on a Spurs playoff team ever.
I hope someone reads that and tells Pop. I just don't get what Pop is doing at this point anymore. He's not making any logical choices.

I'd say players Pop needs to play more in order are Bruce, KT, George and Ime.
Non defensive players like Bonner and Finley if they aren't scoring well need to be benched immediately.
playing Finley isn't a problem..it's playing Finley AND Mason at the same time..
Bonner just flat out
SUCKS!
SUCKS!
SUCKS!
SUCKS!
SUCKS!
SUCKS!
SUCKS!
I mean this guy Really, Really Sucks! He should be in the D-League but, for some reason Pop continues to start his sorry ass.
Someone needs to tell Pop "These playoffs are not for Gregg Popavitch" if he's going to continue to be silly.
Now George Hill is a good player who even outplayed Derrick Rose in one of their games in the regular season. I know he's nowhere near Derrick's level overall, but George at least deserves a chance out there. Hill is not a total liability because he can play defense which is something Spurs basketball was built on.
If Pop benched him because he wasn't doing what he wanted as a PG why didn't he just draft a PG like Chalmers instead?
He drafted Hill for defense and Hill has shown that he can play defense so why the isn't Hill playing when it is quite obvious that defense is something we could always have more of.
Just to add something else. Remember the regular season game against the Lakers we lost in our last meeting with them.
When George was asked to guard Kobe on one of those last possessions where Kobe hit that three I thought George played very good defense on that shot. You could see that George wasn't intimidated going up against him and even though Kobe hit the shot I don't think George let it affect him at all. I think he's pretty tough so why the is Pop treating him like a fragile Beno type player??????
I think Pop knows his rosters far better than we fans do. Maybe he just thinks Hill can't do a good job against our boys in blue so it's reasonable for him to nail Hill at the end of the bench. Pop is one of the best best coaches in today's NBA anyway, probably even the best.
