Live by the Bonner, die by the Bonner

Blair has lost his mojo

And once again, we hate Bonner. Sucks for Bonner. The guy made 2 3 pointers out of......a lot of missed attempts. I'll just say that. I'd prefer if they brought in Blair or Tiago instead. Too bad for Bonner, but he just doesn't deserve those minutes.

Again as I've said in many other threads.

With the way the game went, I think its crazy to take ANYTHING of worth out of this game and analysis of the roster....

The only conclusion you can make is that there are much, much worse players than Bonner out there, like Michael Beasley.

I think bonner is not that bad if you consider he stretches the defence, making it easier for duncan, in the post, and parker/ginobli driving, and also shoots the three well, most of the time. He provides points directly and indirectly.

Sure his defence sucks real bad at times, but overall the positives outweigh the negatives. Blair and splitter clog the paint for our offence. Sometimes you cant stop great offence on the opposing team, so spurs gotta match that.

I still think pop overplays him at times, but the 12 game win streak speaks for itself, cant argue with the results, pop must be doing something right. His rebounding is a little better latelly, and defensivelly hes been getting help, so the other guys on the floor cover up his weaknesses somewhat.

I didn't take the time to read this whole thread, but really right now I'm not too bad with how Bonner is playing. He is getting 22 min per game but averaging close to 9 pts and 4 rebounds per game. That's pretty productive for a guy who is our 5th big man in the rotation. He and Splitter are two guys that give us different stuff and until Tiago gets a little more experience Bonner isn't really hurting us and I'm seeing some good stuff from him out there right now.

Do we really have to put up with the "Bonner will choke in the playoffs" meme all season? It is such an easy and indefensible retort. There is no disproving it until the playoffs. It's lazy. Just put it aside for awhile. Shooters go through hot and cold streaks.

If we can catch a Bonner hot streak against LA, we may have a 5th ring. Then again, he might tear an achilles next game and be gone forever. Hearing for the next 6 months that "Bonner is a playoff choker" is pointless.

Bonner has played very well. with as ty as Blair has been playing that is a really good thing. Blair at some point is going to have to step it up and break out of his sop re slump because Dice is playing too much, too hard, too early. the Spurs need to keep going with Blair.
