Best development of the night: Pop lit a fire under Jefferson's ass

When Bonner starts knocking down shots from long distance again things will begin to balance out....he doesn't need to be starting though.
Catch him at his favorite sandwich show and break his knees with a hoagie
his shot is unreliable. Like last year in the playoffs. Im tired of watching him suck on both ends.
lol im sure he eats a hoagie before and during the games and thats why he sucks. Who even likes hoagies anyway? Id rather have a burger any day lolCatch him at his favorite sandwich show and break his knees with a hoagie
NO BONNER=Championship
Just inconsistent, but so is everyone else's right now. He's still one of our better perimeter defenders at the moment. Have to take a chance that the jumper will find itself at some point; the life of a shooter.
I think hill will do a good job. At least defend more and get more minutes and rest for tony. I'm expecting a good win on Monday at home.
The spurs played very good defense in that 4th. They made several mistakes but I saw signs that they are still capable of being great on defense. Mcdyess is really hurting the team on defense and I think pop should give his minutes to ratliff to see how he does instead. Obvious players like bonner and finley hurt the spurs all night and same goes for timmy who played soft and let oden own him. In my opinion manu hurt the spurs the most tonight.. his turnovers and shot selection were terrible. He made stupid gambles on defense and he had a bonehead foul late in the 4th. The only good thing about this loss was the spurs defense in the 4th.
LOL if he is one of our better perimeter defenders right now we are in big trouble man, stop sticking up for him he is just horrible on both ends right now.....
One problem I have seen from the last few games is that TP looked very tired and weak. He runs and penetrates with his legs looking like there's no lift in them. Is he really too tired because of all the games he played in the Summer? I am worried because he already looks very tired at the beginning of the season and we need him healthy to win the le.
I have nothing against TP (in fact, I like his offensive plays a lot) but I think he might need to sit out a few games. Not sure if that will help him gain some more energy and strength.
He'll be out a week with the ankle sprain.

Bonner doesn't have a prime time shot. His shooting mechanics are no good and when he is pressured his shot can come out ugly. He doesn't have a shot like Stephen Jackson that is picture perfect.
Bonner is only a good shooter when he is left wide open. If teams actually get up on him and don't give him looks then he will be an even worse player out there.
Agree!
I second that
I third that!
Man the last few games have been horrible to watch?....I think we need to go and try to get Bowen back on board...Drop Hairston or Haislip to make room for him?....Why is Pop not playing any of our Big men besides Bonner?...The last few games we have had we lost in opponents in the paint scoring...Throw Theo in there he can get you boards ad blocks!!!...We need to do something and quick...I know it is still early in the season, but these are games we should have won...And we actually need to win them....The second half of the season is where are hard games/road games are...So you need to get all of the wins that you can now....
[QUOTE=Parker2112;3813259]We've won championships playing with teams that were completely Defensive minded. The league hated us. Dont forget
/QUOTE]
That primarily defensive minded team concept work work anymore. The Lakers now are stronger than any teams the spurs faced in all their championship seasons. the spurs need to bring it on both ends of the court.
Forget about Bowen. Bowen is finished and won't be any type of difference maker.
You got any suggestions Rascal?
btw I am not ragging on you about saying Bowen is done. I think he'd be better than Finley, but yeah I might also agree that he alone won't make a big enough impact.
You say Bowen is done?...Not any chance...He is one who will bring it on the defensive end on a nightly basis...Plus he hits his open 3's, which our other guys are missing...I think it is a win-win situation regardless, plus he already knows the offensive sets...And he's the best defender this organization has ever had...And guarantee you it hasn't dropped off a bit?....
I'm just going to add that Bruce is definitely still got something left. He has only lost maybe half a step at most and I thought he was great in the stretch run and playoffs last season. He played high level D when he was put onto Barea and Jason Terry.
It is not Bruce's fault that the guys bought it to provide extra offense choked and in turn didn't provide offense or defense. They provided nothing and Bruce was cast away like it was his fault since he's not an offensive player.
You couldn't expect Bruce to pick up the offensive slack for players bought in to do that, but instead they vanished in the playoffs while Bruce still bought solid defense.
I was very disappointed that the Spurs never bought him back this season. Right now I am a bit pissed off he was treated that way for some ty offensive players that aren't bringing it on either end of the floor so far this season.
Pathetic move from the Spurs FO.
I didn't see a player that declined much. I saw a player that bought it on the defensive end and that was cast aside because they thought he was a liability on the offensive end of the floor, yet they somehow forgot what he bought on the defensive end.
Bit from Dime.
Yeah, the Spurs are known to start the season slow and we know not to even get concerned about them until like February, but still, how often do you see Tim Duncan and crew lose three road games in a row? Just like they did on Thursday in Utah, the Spurs fell behind early against Portland — by as much as 17 at one point — and spent all their energy just trying to get within striking distance. It also didn’t help that Tony Parker hurt his ankle in the first half and never returned. The Spurs cut the lead to three eventually, but Brandon Roy (24 pts) took over down the stretch and wouldn’t let the Blazers blow it … Sometimes it doesn’t take a genius to coach San Antonio. Knowing Greg Oden would be guarding Duncan, and knowing G.O. has issues with foul trouble, Gregg Popovich just had his guys feed Duncan right from the start and let him go to work on the kid. Oden picked up two quick fouls and had to sit — but then he came back and stayed on the court long enough to make a difference with 14 points, eight boards and four blocks … Oden also happened to be on the court when Richard Jefferson went back to Tucson and dunked on him reminiscent of what Kobe did to Dwight Howard a few years back...

Werther he had anything left before the trade or not (I felt he did) I honestly doubt he is even keeping in game shape. In his mind set he is done with this chapter in his life and has moved on. We just have to find a way to do the same.
God help the Spurs if we have to rely on Bonner making shots to win games.
