If I say it was a slight grammatical error, would you stop posting for the night? Seeing your name pop up in every damn thread is pretty damn annoying.
What does one have anything to do with the other?
Nothing.
Many posters who can't stand me have put me on ignore. Seems to work for them.
Seriously, I just posted the correction because it's a common mistake and can detract from whatever point one is trying to make. It certainly didn't have to go any farther than that.
Padding your post count?
Not that some of the posters you're ing with aren't stupid, but if you think threads like this are pointless why would you keep them alive by contributing every other post?
And people he's ing with please don't quote my post to try and win the argument. Do it yourself.
I think threads like this one are largely superfluous and I'm not even sure that particular post would be seen as hyperbolic by some were it not posted by me.
Give an example of a thread or topic that is acceptable to you. In your estimation-what does a thread have to have for YOU to deem it worthy.
...and why not just ignore threads that don't meet your approval?
Why the need to enter every thread and try to police it and/or disparage anyone and everyone that is taking part in it.
And who put you in charge of anything?
This is definitely a worthy topic. I misspoke in saying this one was superfluous -- though someone started the same thread two hours later -- I'd say all the Bonner threads on the front page are superfluous since they are all discussing the same thing.
ChumpDumper. It's not just a name ... it's what he does.
It is not my job to approve. I just do or do not since you asked. Remember when you asked what I thought? I answered. Now you are asking more and I am answering.
I stated my opinion. I didn't disparage everyone in the threads. I was fairly selective.Why the need to enter every thread and try to police it and/or disparage anyone and everyone that is taking part in it.
When did I claim to be in charge of anything?And who put you in charge of anything?
You are laboring under many, many falsehoods. Let me know if I can help you dispel any more myths about me.
Since knowing such things about me seems to be so important to you.
Alot of fans have have lost respect for Pop? By alot of fans, do you mean like your drinking buddies who are Spurs fans? Because the fans I talk to think Pop is a great coach. In fact just today Pop was awarded his 11th coach of the month award. How can such an bad coach receive a award like that if hes a bad coach? I guess the majority of Spurs fans, the NBA, and sports media, are idiots for thinking Pop is a great coach, and only someone as knowledgable as you and a few others know the real truth about Pop's coaching abilities. Congratulations buddy, you truely stand out.
Thanks for the correction...
Bonner is the new Finley!
yes, little exaggerated, but i think is right...
he have a nice potential, he can be a good player, like i spoke in other topic.
he need adaptate to the NBA rules, refs, Popovich style and pace of the game... its not easy. Need improve his game, training more medium shot and FT's (he's better day by day in this fundament), increase your muscle mass without losing mobility. my opinion.
agree 100%
he have game to play 30 minutes per game, not now, in future, yes.
Either you failed English in high school or you were very sleepy when you wrote this post.
Pop is clearly underplaying Tiago and mind ing him, Dice, Tony and the city. Pop adulation makes me sick.
Or maybe english is his second language?Either you failed English in high school or you were very sleepy when you wrote this post.
Kinda makes me wonder sometimes. If the Spurs did trade parker and ended up getting Troy Murphy out of that, would he get more minutes than Bonner?
Splitter has been underachieving and I never really had high expectations of him to begin with. He is getting pushed around in the paint way too easily. His help defense is often superb, however, his rebounding is something to be desired.
On offense he looks quite frustrated by either, not recieving the ball, or missing easy looks. His passing is pretty good though. Perhaps he is adjusting to not being a solid option on the offensive end.
I think Pop is giving Splitter the chances to break out, I just don't think he is quite ready yet. As long as Splitter is recieving minutes, I expect him to eventually be able to crack the rotation as a solid choice off the bench.
Could it be possible that some Spurs fans were viewing Splitter as another Pau Gasol? A sort of big man savior to carry on the Spurs tradition of dominant big men. If some fans view Splitter this way, I could understand the impatience fans have with Splitter's limited playing time so far. I personally do not view Splitter as a top 5 NBA center. But one who could be a solid starter one day. My hope is for Splitter's minutes to increase and for Splitter to become a regular in the rotation.
So you're saying he's not the Brazilian Jesus? What!
Hate to be pessimistic, but it seems Splitter's been designated a garbage-time player by Pop's genius, and he'll not be a factor in the drive for 5.
Didn't Splitter already had a breakout against the Cavs? Dude scored 18 points of off PNR with TP.
It didn't give him regular rotation minutes.
Tonight's game vs. NO was a huge chance for him to break into the rotation with a decent amount of minutes. It was ugly.
His performance tonight on the offensive end was in no way his fault. The guards need to stop running away from the screen and turn their man in order to get Splitter a GOOD pass on the roll. There was only one instance when Quinn played the roll correctly and got Tiago the ball in stride.
There are clearly chemistry issues with the newcomers and it is to be expected. If Splitter is to be effective, he needs to play with players who can turn their man and attack the basket and get Splitter the ball in stride. There were many instances when Quinn, Hill, Neal couldn't get the ball inside to Tiago when he was open under or very near the basket after he set the screen.
If the ball were to get in to Splitter by Manu, or TP, or anyone else able to get him the ball with a good pass, I would not have been surprised to see Tiago EASILY get 14 points.
GET HIM THE DAMN BALL PEOPLE!!!! Good things usually happen.
