Will Bonner finally be put to rest

[timtonymanu]

Bonner isn't the reason the Spurs lost. That's true. The problem is the fact that he's on this team to begin with. He's taking the place of a real frontline player - any frontline player - who could do what is usually expected from NBA bigs. Score some in the post, rebound, set screens, block an occasional shot or two and play solid positional defense.

The Spurs lost this game largely because they could not get stops - and the OKC bigs wiped the floor with the Spurs. With Bonner on the roster, the Spurs are essentially playing with 4 bigs. He sucks, Spiltter is sucking and Duncan is ineffective. So where does that leave the Spurs frontline?

If this game - and this series - doesn't serve as yet ANOTHER glaring indicator as to how deficient the Spurs are along their frontline - then the FO and coaching staff are never going to get it. I thought the message was loud and clear after the Memphis series of last year. How many more reminders does the coaching staff and front office need?

Once Diaw came on board, Bonner became useless. Diaw is fulfilling the role Bonner was expected to do.

I really hope the Spurs amnesty Bonner in the offseason.

If Spurs want to free up a roster spot, that would be the way to go. Of course, I publically questioned the wisdom of resigning his ass from the gitgo.

If today wasn't enough, then we are doomed. Bonner clearly missed a profession and is a clear testament what hard work can do, fact that this guy is an NBA player has got to be one of the most astonishing achievements of the post industrial age.

Indeed. The summer of 2010 was a headscratcher. On one hand, we found a gem in Neal and finally brought in Splitter.

OTOH, we gave Jefferson and Bonner 4 year contract extensions at expensive prices when both of them were terrible in the 2010 playoffs. Bringing them back was one thing. But FOUR seasons? That was unacceptable.

Good God, I hope that Bonner is used as trade bait come draft time. Trade him, amnesty him, whatever. He doesn't belong on this roster. His pussy style of play is true downer for this team. Bonner instills confidence - in the opposition. I sincerely hope he's played his last minutes as a Spur.

"Bonner only played two minutes"


In those two minutes, the Thunder went on a 10 - 0 run and got into a rhythm in this game

It was 19-12 when Bonner checks in with 4:04 left in first qtr..KD at the line for 2....19-14

Bonner gets pass, up-fakes, drives in lane, passes to Timmy on bassline with 8 seconds on shot clock and runs away from the play. Bad shot Timmy, Perkins beats Bonner down the floor for dunk. Pop timeout......19-16

Bonner passes on three, shoots 19 ftr....brick...OKC comes down, Bonner does not block out Ibaka for tip in.....19-18

Bonner sets horrible pick for Gino and rolls off...pass from Manu gets tipped and stolen....Manu steals ball back....runs pick and roll with Timmy....Timmy take 18 ftr and misses.....with Bonner at three point line, nobody is down low for rebound...OKC comes down...Bonner loses on D, Collison...Collison get uncontested dunk....19-20

Bonner again set worthless pick and rolls to 3 pt line...Parker desperately spins in lane for layup...misses....Kd comes down, gets fouled hits two free throws......2:01 on the clock...19-22


I won't blame the first two points on Bonner since KD was already at the line, but for those of you that think Bonner did not do any damage in "only 2 minutes", you guys are completely wrong. The Thunder were playing with no energy and were out of sync until Bonner checked in. Then they got rolling.

[BillMc]

No, like Dracula, he'll live to suck again...

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Bonner had about 3-4 open 3s in the first 4 games and decided to pass back on all of them. Defensively he hasn't been able to contribute either. Tonight's game Bonner played I think over just 2 mins.

Pop played Blair during garbage time of game 3 and he gave OKC problems. He gave OKC problems again tonight.

In summary, I think Bonner will not play much the rest of the series.

[ElNono]

We lost by 6... -8 can be the difference between winning and losing...

And it's not just the point differential... there was a momentum swing there too... I'm glad the Spurs were able to recover from it, but playing catchup is always tougher.

This entire sequence is a microcosm reminder as to what happened with Bonner in the Memphis series of last year. EVery Grizzlies player got into the act of ass-raping him. From Darrell Arthur to Zach Randolph to Shane Battier. They all got a momentum boost from Bonner failing to guard them, failing to box them out and failing to match their physicality and their play. What more does this coaching staff need to see? I hope we've seen the last of him in a Spurs uniform.

[AFBlue]

Gawd I hope so. When he doesn't make shots he's worthless. And his semi-respectable improvements in defense and rebounding have vanished to the point where he's a total liability on the court.

When Bonner resigned two years ago, I was sick to my stomach because I knew what is happening to him in the playoffs right now was gonna happen as along as he is on this team because of Pops love affair with him and refusal to bench him. I swear Bonner has some dirt on Pop. What other freaking rational explanation is there?!

Apparently they don't see because the didn't review game films.

[baseline bum]

Every time Bonner puts it on the floor I root for him to be Derricked Rose'd. I'd trade his sorry ass for Finley.

[baseline bum]

I just saw a highlight where Perkins literally ran by Bonner, beat him down the floor for a dunk. Again I know he only played 2 minutes, but that's not the point. He doesn't belong as part of a championship rotation. , he shouldn't be on the squad at all. This experiment has failed. Pop only needs to wake the up.

It's amazing that the Spurs could actually lose in a trade where they were able to salary dump Rasho.

I'll do you one better, Derek Anderson.

[racm]

I wouldn't mind his fire crotch ass be run over by a car tbh

But I wouldn't wish death on him, just a career as a benchwarmer for the Bobcats

[BlairForceDejuan]

Bonner you are a nice gentleman but you play like a pussy.

You are making 3 million dollars a year to play like a pussy.

Bonner pls go.

Run over by a car? , I just want him out for the season. He can come back next year when the team is done and could use a few more losses for draft positioning.
