By the powers granted to me, I hereby grant clemency to T Park for all that he did or did not do. SequSpur will be granted clemency once he sips the sweet nectar of a Bonner game-winning attempt.
You gave up. Accept it. Repent. Move on.

Me showing up in game five with the Nazr jersey screaming my guts out proves so.

@ Bonner's Sky Hook.
In the last second of the game you gave the ball to Matt. Yao,yao. That is just stupid. Where was Tim, Manu or Parker.
why bonner
i don't remember him ever making a clutch shot before
that was the most re ed play to call at the end of a tie game. what coach in their right mind draws up a play for a 3 for their 9th player??? i love matt bonner but come on. you play to win. you build matt's confidence over the next 49 games. pop is coaching like he has alzheimers or some .
i hated that play would have hated it if bonner hit it. in a tie game you attack the basket.
It wasn't a great call to win the game, but Pop seemed to be testing Bonner all game to see what he can do. I wish we had won the game but I think its crucial to test the young guys exactly at this point in the season where they hopefully know enough of the system to contribute but its not too late in the season where we need to settle on our rotation. Pop has to know if Bonner can start taking some of Horry's minutes. I'm not sure what verdict if any Pop came away with from this game but ultimately I'm glad Pop gave Bonner a chance.
I'd like to see Pop give Butler another chance in the post to see if we can find a second low post scoring option.
We won't win a le if the bench players don't contribute something and now is the time to start figuring that out.
Our veterans like Horry and Finley aren't going to do for us in the regular season, if maybe ever again. The young guys have to play.
We didn't lose the game at the very last possession ... Stop critics Popovic after each tied loss.
Bonner has a good game and it's his job to shoot the ball ... Manu is horrible at this point this season, bowen too ...
Jordan often gave the ball to hodges, paxson, kerr to make this kind of shots. Just look at this as a test for playoff ...
TP are great so far ... TD seem tired mentally, I hope he can produce in playoff.
Drclic.
I wish Tony had a better outside jumper. If you look at the end, the Wolves were ready to double who ever was getting the ball other than Bonner. Good setup, just a bad break. Bonner is no Horry!
Look TimVP, I hear what you're saying, and while I agree that it's noble to want to get Bonner's confidence up for a January game, the play still fails what Bill Simmons would call "the common sense test."
No matter how big picture your thinking is or how inventive your playcall is, at the end of the game it's just common sense to get the ball to one of your best players. Whenever you see buzzer beating shots in the 4th quarter or OT, it's almost always a team's best players who take them.
While I'm all for playing Bonner more and making him a regular part of the rotation, I think Pop should have realized the risk he was playing with. It wasn't as simple as, "Well if he misses it, there's always OT." It was more like, "If he misses it, we lose." Just like the Charlotte game (or Game 7 last year if you prefer) we expended too much energy in coming back and didn't have anything left in the tank for OT so it would've made more sense to go for the win with a high percentage shot. And a high percentage shot is one taken by our big three.
I'm not saying if Manu took the last shot we'd have won for sure (as witnessed by Game 7), but I like his chances more than Bonner's.
Just ask yourself this question. Do you think Bonner takes that shot if we were down one instead of tied?
Yup.Do you think Bonner takes that shot if we were down one instead of tied?
January games once again, mean more to you armchair quarterbacks, than they do in real life.
Face it, this spurs team needs Bonner to be a baller.
So far this is the worst Spurs team in a long time.
Are you Pop? Or his wife?
Fire Pop
Not even give Manu a touch. Let Tony dribble it down, design some half ass pick and roll play with Tim that Minnesota was all over, and have the third option be Matt Bonner for three.
Unfrigginbelievable.
Hire Aggie Hoopsfan
Bonner sucks.
there's no doubt Pop ed up. Someone, no matter who, should have penetrated.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eva agrees.
Except they all count towards home court.
Just so we're clear Tpark...
On Friday night if we're tied at the end, let's go ahead and put in Bonner, Oberto, Beno, Eric Williams, and Finley.
And Finley gets to inbound, but not shoot. You're saying that's a great idea, because it's a January game....
It will be interesting to see if San Antonio finishes one game behind Dallas at the end of the season.
True, if you mean Post-Season. If you don't mean Post-Season, it won't be that interesting to me.
