The Official: Show some love to MATT BONNER!

[ShoogarBear]

Plus he hit the first clutch shot of his Spurs career.

No kidding. If he just hit the wide open shots he's always going to get in the clutch, everything else would be forgotten.

[tp2021]

Is Sequ a cool guy in person or something? Nobody seems to really call him on how ty a poster he is.

[Obstructed_View]

Funny how all he has to do is hit a couple of shots. He's certainly capable of it. Let's hope he liked it enough to do it again.

[SpurSupremacist]

Bonner balling and tearing up the +/-? Am I surprised? Of course not.

[Manu-of-steel]

This is year 3. He's not going to get any confindence. Remember the play last year where he had 10 footer to win the game and missed? That play is what we're going to get from Bonner, close but always falling short. Hopefully Ian can get his minutes. I would rather have size and rebounding than spotty 3-point shooting and crappy defense.

ian won't get any minutes soon coz he's been assigned to the austin toros just this morning.

i say we stick to the plan and get out of the city, fukn bonner

Bonner's 3-pointers spark Spurs' decisive late charge
By Mike Monroe

Don’t ask Spurs coach Gregg Popovich what prompted him to give forward Matt Bonner a healthy dose of playing time in Friday’s game against the Houston Rockets at the AT&T Center after keeping him chained to the bench in the previous two games.

Popovich isn’t in the habit of explaining his personnel decisions.

After his most productive game of the season, though, Bonner is apt to get another early call in Sunday’s game at Sacramento.

Bonner played 19 minutes and 37 seconds in the Spurs’ dramatic, 77-75 victory over the Rockets, and that included some key time in the fourth period. he made two 3-pointers in the final 4:20, when the Spurs reeled off 12 unanswered points to complete a comeback from a 14-point deficit for just their second home win of the season.

“Matt did a fine job,” Popovich said. “He was aggressive offensively. He focused well on defense and helped us win the basketball game.”

I realize Monroe and others are just trying to do their job, but it never gets old seeing Pop make grown men cower like children.

Damn, girl, do you ever sleep?

[Avitus1]

He had a good game, doubt he'll keep it up.

[Jahivah]

No love here. One game does not make up for three years of ineptness. Hooray for him.

You mean hooray for the Spurs, unless you'd have rather he missed his shots and the team lose, right?

[SenorSpur]

I gotta give "big ups" to the Big Redhead. Like many, I ed and moaned because he was in the game, at Tolliver's expense. I also rolled my eyes when his first 3-pointer caromed off the rim. So, I just wanna stop and give him some love for now. 'Cause it may not happen again for a while. (I couldn't resist another backhanded swat on the way out).

[Xylus]

I'm getting hard just thinking about that stat line.

[Manufan909]

I think this is the first time in his life as a Spur he can be considered clutch. He's rarely clutch, but the Spurs will take what they can get.

You're plumb right. I don't recall one clutch shot that he's made since he's been a Spurs. I do recall, however, him missing about 2-3 would-be clutch shots last season. Hope this will "spur" him to higher heights (pun intended)

[SpursFanFirst]

Damn, girl, do you ever sleep?

I've wondered that same thing numerous times!

[SpurSupremacist]

I'm getting hard just thinking about that stat line.

You mean the 20/20 statline he put up last year when Duncan was out? That one?

[urunobili]

glad his trade stock is starting to rise...

[m33p0]

Damn, girl, do you ever sleep?

she's a bot.

[Obstructed_View]

she's a bot.

Maybe we should start calling her "the machine"...

[8ft.tall.tejano]

i don't think we should trade him cos he sucks...
I think we should trade him cos pop don't trust him, if he can't get playing time, he's really worthless...
let him hit the floor against the teams, then throw him in w/JV and some cash(or a used Volvo) for a big...
all in all both are great guys, the red one has some potential on a team that'll let him play, JV can be an assistant for the Clippers or something, but we need fresh blood...

[Cant_Be_Faded]

He's Horry with orange hair.

[jman3000]

I'd rather not.

Let's just say we showed him love, yeah?

[PeterBurns]

Need to have a big shot like that to spur a good season.
The Spurs need Bonner to contribute on this team until #20 and #9 get back to stay in the race.

This was a huge win, and a huge shot for Bonner.
Hopefully this is a building block for both
