He lost faith in Bonner to an extent, but Bonner's minutes started to slide as Horry made his way back. Bonner's contract is based on his role past this season. If he doesn't work out, then we're talking about 4% of the Spurs' payroll.
Mr Body, I think they'll use him more next year. if he continues to suck, he'll be an expiring and easily traded. There are 100 worse contracts in the NBA. I just don't think it's a huge issue.
The NUGGETS suck! They were up 10 with 6 to go, now back to 3 on a Pierce slam and no blockout on Rondo for a follow-jam. Nuggets look great on paper, but really they are paper tigers with no clue...
Last three Celtics plays - jam, two tip-jams.
Nuggets are WEAKSAUCE.
Denver getting the benefit of the calls
If that is the worst contract the Spurs have to worry about, the Spurs don't have much worries on that front. It's not like paying Steve Smith $9 mil per or Radoslav Nesterovic $7 mil per for the next 5 years or whatever it was. Bonner's contract is probably the 70th worst in the NBA today.
No, it's not a major issue, but for a team so extremely wary of the various caps, he's at least a minor albatross around their necks. I thought it was a bad deal when it was offered, and nothing has proven otherwise. I'll lay a hen's egg if he gets more time next year than he's getting now.
Why Manu on the bench today??
Exactly. An contract worth a bit over half the MLE is fine for anyone who can play even a little in the NBA!
Camby just hit a 3...
As long as they never ask who that tall guy is sitting in the third row, things will be OK.
looks like Denver's gonna pull it out...
Kenyon Martin is a
Nuggets will win this, but not through good execution - more like a few calls going their way and some poor decisions on O by the Celts.
What moves is it really going to prevent the Spurs from making? The Spurs are going to be over the cap regardless until 2010, which is when his deal ends. Francisco Elson just made $3 mil per for 2 seasons.
And versus a Garnett-less Celtics, Camby already has 13 rebounds, 3 steals and 9 blocks.
because he really wasn't playing all that great and he got into a fight with Pop.Why Manu on the bench today??
Bad NBA deals are paying Wally Szczerbiak $13 mil per this year and next. Not to mention Mark Blount's deal, which will pay him $8 mil per until 2010. I'd rather have Bonner's deal anytime over Blount's.
A fight??? before the game started??
BTW Thanks
Nah, it was during the game. Manu fouled some dude on a 3 point shot and he and Pop got into it on the sidelines. Looked like they were both pretty angry.
No during the game.
Manu fouled Richardson, manu started to whine Pop told him "shut up and play" Manu yelled something back, he yelled bull manu came back with "no that call was bull " then Pop yanked him.
Pretty funny exchange.
Thanks,
In a way that's a good sign... Pop has been to soft lately.. If we want another championship we need the old Pop I guess.
Wow by the looks of the box score, this game was poo poo.
I wouldn't be shocked if Pop dropped the "we set the game back 35 years tonight"
What a crappy game that was -- the first 3 quarters were absolute dreck and the 4th was better only because the Spurs actually started making some shots. If I understood Schoening correctly, the Spurs shot 58% in the 2nd half despite the fact that they went 6 minutes of the third quarter without scoring a basket.
I should have asked for a refund on the way out of the building.
see if you do not do what pop wants you get pulled no matter who you are
so when tp shots 25 shots it is because pop wants him to
Where do you sit at FWD?
I was in 103 but down lower cause I had to buy seats for tonight because my regular ones got sold cause I didn't think I could make it tonight
The Spurs Fan Shop should be shut down due to absolute idiots running it.
