Hey Bonner knows the system and deserves those minutes.
Lol being the best 3 pt shooter on this team but unwilling to take a 3 pt shot.
Edit: And Bonner doesn't spread when other teams know they just have to look at him and he passes the ball.

Bonner had some funny moments tonight when Ray Allen came out to contest a 3 and he decided to pass.. At least the Heat don't have viable tape from tonight's game, just a horrible game all together.
Basically this. Any time you play Bonner for long stretches, especially when trying to rally, you know you're not taking it very seriously.
The Spurs looked flat tonight. I have to give credit to the Heat for taking the Spurs out of their comfort zone too. They pushed the Spurs' offense away from the basket by picking up the pressure just past half court. It caused issues for Tony and we all know he doesn't like having tall guys guard him or double him. He didn't push the issue until the 4th quarter.
The Heat Defense made the Spurs look discombobulated as well. Spoelstra should be elated from what he got out of his guys.
The call on Leonard at the end was one of the worst I've seen this year but I won't blame the loss on the ref. Even with the FT's we were still up 1. Even a win would have been lackluster because we got pushed around and out-physical'd. Still, a W would have been a W.
On another note, "Senior" from Orange County Chopper was sitting next to Amy Duncan tonight. I imagine he is in town to take a look at Duncan's shop.
Half the job of coaching is to know who to put in the game and when.
in one thread making fun of spurs fans over reacting to Bonner getting "insignificant" minutes in games. Then post that he's disappointed with Bonner sighting in this thread.
I just watched the Pop postgame. His exact quote was "It wasn't about the bigs, it was about needing to score and I thought Matt could loosen it up (the court) a bit for us"
People seriously have a problem with that quote or are you just looking for to troll with because he isn't throwing anybody under the bus with that statement.
When asked if he thought it worked, he replied with "We scored 86 points"
Look out for Pop playing Bonner more in crucial moments over Splitter simply because he was questioned about it.
, I can see the SportsCenter Top 10 highlights finishing with Javale McGee teabagging Bonner in the lane and Pop cheering because Bonner kept his arms up in the air.
Seems like TP forgot the system tonight.
popovich pisses me off so much. danny green couldn't hit anything for 3 quarters straght and u keep him on the floor putting up bricks. bonner won't shoot wide open shots when he's presented with them and colo is borderline worthless. it's as if he throws games just to show people he's still in charge. i don't get this guy. why doesn't blair play? WHY are we doubling a team like the heat today in the paint when they had no inside game whatsoever leaving open 3 point shooters all game? WHY???
Could you confirm the actual question was about Tiago though? I personally didn't think he was tossing anybody under the bus...
Question : "It seemed like once you took Tiago out of the game you were looking for something different in terms of your bigs, what was it that you were searching for?"
Answer: "It wasn't about the bigs, we just couldn't score and we needed to score and I thought Matt could loosen it up (the court) a bit for us"
Thanks, tbh... I heard 'Tiago out' when the question was being asked but couldn't hear the rest.
It's quite scary that this close the playoffs the Spurs aren't physically sharp, mentally sharp or playing anywhere near a consitent brand of basketball.
It's hard to play any consistent basketball when your coach is constantly tinkering with the lineup.
Yeah, not like injuries have played any part in this or anything lol.
Well, the game has kind of passed Pop by some, we still play as if its 2005 or 2007, we're not built to compete against OKC or Miami consistently. We rely a lot of interior defense and 3 point shots because we're able to draw players into the paint. Leonard is the only player that is a fast forward kind of player but his confidence isn't at a level where he can excel his game yet. Spurs play way too much inconsistent D, parker is not a leader and manu is over the hill. It was easier when we were contending against the Mavs or Phoenix and then the dreadful Lakers but we're not equipped to go toe to toe for 7 games with teams that have 2 or 3 players who can get there own shot and get calls.
The Spurs seriously need to get back to playing their type of basketball and the only way to do that is to continue to be out there. That's the bad thing because Tim is expending way to much energy right now that he will need in the playoffs. It's great to see him play like this but the Spurs are relying way to much on him for these types of games. This is a bad stretch for the Spurs so hopefully they can continue to stay/get healthy and get past that Atlanta game. They will have 3 days off after that game and then they can evaluate how they want to handle the remaining 5 games.
The Spurs should be able to use the first round to get out of this little funk as well because I don't think any potential 8 seed is strong enough to take down even an out of rhythm, fatigued Spurs team.
I didn't realize all our back up point guards, Nando, mills, and cojo have been hurt all year. That's why pop still hasn't picked one.
What are you talking about Gary Neal has been off and on all season, he's the backup PG for pop
None have played well enough to separate themselves from the others tbqh
