The guy is in his 30's he is not going to be able to get faster, quicker, smarter, etc. We were stupid to get him or should I say that Pop and our lack of brain trust screwed up again...Scola and RJ....two HUGE mistakes.
The thing that kills me watching him is that he can't create his shot I mean ZERO lateral quickness and no first step to speak of. That what kills us only Tony and Manu can beat their man off the dribble and score and that is what we are lacking in the SF that and offcourse quickness to guard.
Bruce was a luxury. Somebody else may come close, but Pop needs to go insisting on TEAM defense first.
It was sickening to see Spurs players sagging 10+ feet of their off-ball man, useless since sagging didn't accomplish anything other than yielding a ton of open jumpers.
The Spurs can't find a Bowen but that doesn't mean they should abandon the principles that got them four les. They should certainly find guys who are good to great defenders. Having a couple of guys on the perimeter with size would help a lot. I don't like the idea of having short SG's play SF in the Spurs system because the defense then requires a double team anytime the opposition's wing is really strong/has a good post game. Even Manu got abused in the post in some of the games against the Grizzlies wing players.
you sir,.... are an idiot.
Yeah, Bonner couldn't possibly be better than RJ at small forward...oh wait.
