If he does it in game 2 then I will give him props. For now, he is still a perennial playoff choker.
F U to all you bonner haters!

Bonner was RED hot today. Hopefully he can keep up this shooting performance.
That was a great game from Bonner and he did a great job on both ends. He played so much more physical and he did not hesitate for one second. Good news is, MEM was slow to close out so he had his normal time to shoot off of great passes and he was set.
I don't care if he chokes later because all you need is one role player a game to step up and it helps you win.
bonner had that ice cold look in his eyes
Bonner will make shot if so wide open. Especially at home. The problem is he's a huge liability on D and chokes when there's hand on his face.
my boy red rocket is carving up the grizz down low. hard box outs, throwing elbows, sticky defense plus he's making it rain. right on brother.
HATER!!!!!!
you take every single game from Matty like this one... you know he's going to get the minutes, so you absolutely take any kind of production he can give you...
Clearly someone who didn't watch his defense today..
ALL HAIL MATTY B!!!
Who needs the Golden God when you have the Red Mamba
Just start Bonner already Pop, you know you want to.
Better than Splitter, tbh.
Better than Diaw, tbh.
Better than Blair, tbh.
IMO he's the second best player on the team, tbh, after Parker, of course.
Come on in and join the party and celebrate, Charlie Sheen and Borosai and Drz!!!!
Goddamn Bonner is so good!!!!!!! Praise HIM!!!!!!
Great job today, Bonner!
clearly someone thinks one home game vs. a struggling front court disproves my point![]()
Splitter needs to stay as the starter. If you get ZBo and Gasol dejected early it will open the outside to our three makers.
Splitter is on a pussy. Bonner can take Randolph to school on offense while shutting him down on defense.
played the same good D vs the Lakers too, or do you want to keep moving the goal posts?
Great job by matt. Every hates on him (including me) because he should have been doing this for the past 7 yrs. I posted before the playoffs started he was due for a good playoff showing by pure %. Next year he could suck again, but eventually he was bound to have a good playoff run.
Look - with role players, they are always going to be limited for the most part (unless you have a Ginobili 6th man type of situation). There will be a lot of up's and down's, especially in the playoffs. But if they can step up and play a big part in winning a playoff game, even if it's just one game, that justifies their contracts IMO. Bonner has had a few really good playoff games this year and this was a Western Conference Finals game so it counts double..
By the way, as I mentioned earlier in this thread; what a difference having guys in their proper roles can do. When you put a guy in a position to fail (i.e. starting Bonner in playoff games) it always hurts them. Put them in a role in which they can succeed and you see some of the positive results that can arise from that decision.
I'm not his biggest fan, but I also said, that we need exactly his type of guy in this series and should give Bonner a chance.
He delivered!
It's amazing what happens when you just take the damn shot
Prob his best playoff game ever, but the bar was set at limbo height
Bonner deserves a lot of credit. I have been down on him like everyone else but he has played great these playoffs.
