Quick Grades: Spurs @ Bulls - Feb. 11

[will_spurs]

Except for the part where I get called a "he", will_spurs is spot on.

I'll try to remember that next time I have to clarify your thoughts

On the subject of rebounders, how much longer do you think Bonner will be in the rotation? He's not a very good rebounder, and doesn't really provide much on the defensive end against other 4s. Do you think Pop wil insert Baynes or re-insert Blair into the backup rotation before the end of the season?

Keep in mind that Bonner/Blair will get less minutes when Timmy comes back and plays about 30 minutes per

De Colo really could be another Speedy Claxton. Speedy wasnt a great shooter, most of his points came on cuts or mid range shots. Play good D, handle the ball well, run the offense and don't get in the way is all that is asked and he did that last night. Keep giving him the minutes even on bad nights. It will pay off in the end.

Matt Bonner

fix'd - He played twenty minutes and did everything possible to let the Bulls back in the game. Didn't produce anything meaningful in all that time except for an assist. The sooner we get him off the team, the better off we'll be.

I really liked where Gary Neal took his shots from. Just a few select spots instead of a pox-ridden shot chart. Those floaters will fall.

I also gained a new appreciation for Rip Hamilton with his vet moves of trying to get under Danny Green's skin. Gave me a sense of how opposing fans must have experienced Bowen and his endless bag of chalkboard scratch, irritating tricks.

Bowen and Rip REALLY went at it in 05 Finals.

Couldn't see the game as my cable went out and didn't come back till an hour after the game ended (PVR'd the repeat on NBA TV and will check it out later today). Going by the boxscore, seems like Nando had a nice game but does his poor shooting not worry you?

It seems like he has the potential to be a decent shooter but maybe his mechanics are a bit off? I guess his solid playmaking can making up for his mediocre shooting as a backup PG.

Nando has always been a good, but not great, shooter. In this game, he was 3/11 but there was a halfcourt prayer and a couple of missed layups in it.

If you wan to see him shooting, Nando posted a couple of weeks ago a video of him working out with Chip during a shootaround:

Nice find, thanks Bruno

No one did any better against the Heat. Don't know how we only lost by 5 in that one.

Don't comment on games you didnt watch. It is clear you dont now how to watch games on the tv.

Layups were also contested by a Bull's big. He burned those same bigs when he made the behind the head pass to Tiago. In Matt's defense, he is doing what the "system" cals for him to do. The thing I have noticed lately is more and more, teams are running him off the 3 pt line. They are not leaving him open. He had to develop that little running jump hook. It is looking better as games go by. I am not saying Bonner is the answer to winning a championship, but I think he brings something we need to win. There is a reason he has a high +/- from year to year.

You didn't read the other posts in this thread, did you? I usually READ the posts in a thread before commenting myself.

Yes sir. Best. NBA. Finals. Ever. And Manu the real Finals MVP.

Bonner is becoming more of a decoy (ending of Cavs game), as long as there is another shooter stationed on the other side (Kawhi).

Little bump but Tony Parker just said in his radio show that he wasn't injured against Chicago. Pop wanted to rest him a little bit a give minutes to the bench.

Fake injury, as expected. Good news.
