I thought Bonner played him well in the 4th, and the spurs cut it to 5. Dice came back in to guard him, and Dallas made a run.
I did not mind Bonner on Dirk tonight. Also I'm liking Bonner's tough at ude, at least he has that going. If he hits half of his threes tonight I'm actually saying hes our best player outside the big 3.
But he choked again and it sucks.

Like anyone was able to guard Dirk. He scores at will against anyone, it doesn't matter who you put on him. The Spurs have had this problem for 4 years now and it isn't changing in the near future. Might as well just leave him open and accomplish the same thing.
There is no Dirk stopper.
there is, his playin on the bobcats jax
Jax of years ago. Dirk scored 36 on Jax earlier this year.
Jax could stop Dirk easier before when Dirk wasn't a great passer out of double teams.
Bonner wasn't smart and disciplined enough. Too many hands flying around Dirk. Be aggressive with your legs and hips. But I agree the Spurs don't have anyone able to make things consistently difficult for Dirk 1on1. Just hope he misses or send early help.
Bonner's just setting the table. Wait 'til you see the menu.
I was pleased with Bonner's effort on dirk tonight. I think Bonner should try to get in his head a little more. Dirk really got irritated when Bonner bodied him up that onetime after the foul call. Bonner didn't have the best shooting night, but he did look a lot better than last years series IMO. It seemed to me we didn't have our usual spacing, and he was having to rush his 3's a little more.
Dirk is going to get his points in this series. I hope we employ the same strategy on him as we did tonight.
What can't keep happening is Butler SEVERELY outplaying Jefferson. Outside of Ginobili, our wing rotation is really lacking some sac right now.
Bonner wasn't doing a bad job on Dirk. The guy wasn't gonna miss tonight unless #12 came on the court. If anything, Bonner got under dirk's skin a little but as far as defending, there wasn't anyone else who did better
Boner made a good effort
Some also put forth good effort into boners, it doesnt mean the end result was working for them.
