Looks Like Bonner CAN Play Off The Bench?

Bonner coming off the bench will help the flow of the game IMO. We should make teams have a tough cover in the paint at the start of game, with Tim, McDyess, and Blair, then bring Bonner out and further complicate things drawing subs ute bigs out to the three point line, while Ginobili and Jefferson can slash easier.

I'm tellin ya. Too early to judge Bonner. No pressure yet. Lets see him perform in the playoffs first.

Matt Bonner's promotion to the starting lineup was evidence of the lack of depth this team had last year in the frontcourt; he was an upgrade over moving Duncan to center and starting Fin at the 4 full time. His going back to a bench role is evidence that the new bigs are starting to figure out the defense.

Exactly.

Our offseason roster upgrade specifically addressed Bonner's and Finley's starting spots and our over-reliance on them last year, so let's see where things go from here. The sky isn't falling.
