HONEST ANSWERS ONLY, why does Bonner get so many minutes

[cherylsteele]

Even is Splitter scores zero points he will be better then Bonner, he'll alter shots, get rebounds, clog the lanes, make Gasol work.....

I think there is a thread about this already somewhere on Spurstalk.

Exactly. Just the sight of Bonner on the court causes opposing players to get in the zone.

[TampaDude]

but he plays hard

and he spreads ( ty defense all over) the floor.

[Cessation]

It's 4 on 5, with bonner in the game.

[Basketball Power]

Bonner's presence on the floor is a moral boost to the other team, that white guy on the 08 Celtics team who was a Bonner clone (big, shoots 3s, no D, all around), didnt't TOUCH the floor for one meaningful minute during the le run

[Sean Cagney]

This is one of the 9th wonders of the world here... Why does he? Pops drunk ass mind only knows.

[Isitjustme?]

Because everyone in the world but Greg Popovich knows that Splitter is better than him.
