    bonner's not the problem, it's the guy overplaying him and not using him like the situational scrub he is....
    truth.

    Refute or GTFO. Where's his deficiency, aside from the fact that his coach assumes that he's a PF/C due to his height?

    We had somewhat this conversation before the seson started, if you remember. You said Splitter was going to be ready, and I said Bonner was going to be the 2nd/3rd big (We also talked about RJ and I was wrong on that). So it's a lot of deja vu here... In all honesty, betting on Bonner to beat you looks like an incredibly good offer right now, IMO. Hopefully that perception changes on the playoffs.
    "Going to be ready", meaning what? Splitter is ready to contribute right now. I never said he'd play more than Bonner, though. Once it became apparent Blair was going to be starting (he let it slip in an interview last summer), I knew Splitter would be the odd man out. I did think he'd play more, because I thought Duncan and McDyess would get a few more games off.

    I'm not guaranteeing that Bonner will come through, I'm just saying he deserves one final opportunity, with the caveat that he's on a short leash.

    I expect the big man rotation in the playoffs to be as follows: roughly a 28/20 split for McDyess/Bonner at PF and roughly a 36/12 split for Duncan/Blair at C.

    Probably. I'll just disagree that Splitter is ready to contribute right now outside of being an extra body to toss out there to pick up fouls against some matchups. I think he could have been ready if he had a more consistent run throughout the season.

    With Blair's demotion, the lineups are basically matching what I suggested back then. Duncan/Dice, Bonner the first 'big' off the bench, Blair behind him... Tiago warming up the bench unless somebody is in foul trouble.

    Bonner's been slumping big time lately, but its nice to know Pop has another option in Novak.

    Agree... maybe Novak is finally putting some pressure on him...

    Bonner needs the pressure. He played well when he had Tolliver breathing down his neck, IIRC.

    Biggest mistake giving bonner a 4 year $14 mil deal...he's signed thru 2013/14??? WTF?.....we could have Novak for a mil a year and he would make more 3's.

    Bonner gets bashed because he doesn't hit big shots. He then plays well in first game against LA, game against Boston, game against Orlando, hits game winner against Minnesota, hits a bunch of big threes in the 4th quarters this season, destroys the Heat in the first game...and he is bashed because "he only shoots well when hes wide open". Now he is in a slump and he is bashed because he keeps shooting and misses.

    I have my doubts about him in the playoffs but the Bonner haters are beyond ridiculous.

    Um, he got a big offensive rebound and hit a big three to help put away the game. If you're going to bag on him, give him credit for producing when he was needed the most.

    If he would have hit his wide open attempts earlier instead of getting torched by Lee, Spurs wouldn't "need" that one 3 ball.

    Spurs were up by double digits, when boonner started hitting threes, against la and miami. True, he hit couple of threes against minnesota and orlando, gj, summing up all the positives bonner has done all season long, lol. He's missing because he know playoffs are coming, just warming up, son. 2-9 today, against the warriors, this type of teams used to be his bread and butter, now im real concerned

    Put away the game? Spurs were up by 10 with couple of minutes to go, against the, no d, 30-41 warriors, the game was never in question from tip off. Yet he still managed to shoot 2-9, can't wait to see what he does when there is a little bit of pressure.

    No it's a given, Bonner just started sucking in March this year instead of April to May. I am glad he is too, maybe more Splitter and Novak who will actually do something IMO later on. Bonner just does not have it, some fans will find that out again soon.

    Yep, he will hit one bum bucket against a bad team and they will say it was the winnter or put it away, thats how his fans to Cessation He is horrible and we all know it, but like a re ed kid he gets treated special for some reason like he accomplished something small to most but big for him and gets patted on the back. He will freeze up like the Mavs game, Heat game and Lakers again when we face a good team, book it.
