He's in a slump right now. Put in Novak to see if he can hit a couple.
He's played about as well as one could expect, but he's still not a rotation-quality big in the NBA and he gets the far too many minutes for this team. Has it been so long ago that you've forgotten that he was the starting center?

he's no daisy
how you like that small ball y'all?
Is it me or do the games where small ball works seem fewer than when it doesn't?
Splitter +11
Bonner -14
Nene (guarded by Splitt): 2-3 - 8 points [averages 15ppg on 63% shooting]
Harrington (guarded by Bonner): 8-12 - 27 points [averages 10ppg on 40%]
+/- is such a garbage stat for single games. Look up the season numbers for Bonner and Splitter I guarantee you Bonner is killing Splitter
Look up Bonner's on/off +/- stats in the playoffs..
The only way that would even be remotely fair is if Splitter had the same amount of minutes of playing time as Bonner...
otherwise--
I call bull .
Bonner needs to stop killing his own teamates
and rightfully so because bonner was playing much better than splitter...
The thing is: If he's not making his 3-point shots he's a TERRIBLE power forward. Also we'll need Size and D in the playoffs. Bonner provides none.
Anyway, yes, +/- is kinda of a bad stats but today you could clearly see why Nugs were winning with antonio+splitter and getting torched with bonner+blair.
Harrington scoring 27 points on 67% shooting is an RARE event.
Bonner played really well in the second quarter, he got two steals and a block to start things off and his confidence was very high.
And the Spurs still gave up 40 points to the Nuggets. They were in a ing feeding frenzy by the end of the quarter that carried over to the second half.
Iso after iso. Post up after post up. Pop never pulled him out, didn't send doubles to help him, and went back to Bonner when Dice got into foul trouble.
BONNER IS UTTER , this proves it again!! He had one bucket I remember, the one inside! The others miss miss miss. I am sick of this dude, period.
The pressure is getting to him already, you can see how he reacts to every time he s up, thereby making the next fail more likely. Instead of forgetting and just focusing on his shooting. He also gave up alot of points on the defencive end, everytime nuggets went to the bonner mismatch, something good happened for them. You can't teach, having ice cold veins, like some guys have, so his playoff struggles are all but inevitable. Bonner has had a ton of chances. Pop has been favoring him from the start. Its pretty sad, timmy's last years, are being wasted on this clown, instead of getting a legit big that rebounds and plays d.
lol at anyone thinking that blair/bonner lineup will fly in the playoffs for any significant amount of time
If Pop doesn't realize this by the playoffs then we have no chance.
Fans in SA need to make some signs for the next home game.
No Bonner/Blair lineup you WIT Pop.
FREE TIAGO.
Bonner plays defense as if he's the victim of armed robbery. From the look on his face to his posture, that sums up why opposing players salivate when they see he's matched up against them.
What's is so mind-boggling is Pop's total and utter loyalty to this guy.
I'm totally convinced that if he never played another game this season, the Spurs could get by with what they have.
NO.
If Bonner never played another game this season---the spurs would be a much better team and actually have a real good shot at a le. Fact.
"Coach B" needs to retire so he can make funny videos full time.
Bonner=opponents make a run
I think the problem with the Spurs is they don't play enough Bonner.
Got-to-have-more-Bonner!
I emailed Pop and asked him to leave Bonner in the game until he works his way out of his slump. Expect him not to be pulled from a game until next fall.
Chopper with the goods...
/sighofrelief
He will then shoot .500 again earlier and we will hear how he is league leading and different this year! He will not do it these playoffs some will say, keep fooling yourselves Bonner fans he is him! He is starting a month earlier though.
No offense but how can you be a Bonner backer and dominate someone? Whats your proof his % for half the year or so? Okay we know that, it's been that way! What about his D or his later in the year %, nobody can argue that and that is the TRUTH! He does this yearly.
BTW you don't need to lose a bonner argument, if you back him and argue him thats a loss there in itself, the proof is there and started already and there is no arguing it! It's an L in itself to argue him to others like he is good.
Argue him sucking later in the year % wise and the playoffs, argue he is a good rebounder or good on D! I dare that there! If he is not hitting what does he do exactly? Seriously what is he good for if he is not hitting? He has not been lately and years past as well against great teams late and the playoffs. Bonner is what he is, thats what he is.

Jeff McDonald
...In the past, Bonner admits, such a slump would have driven him to the edge of despondency.
“Now, it really has no effect,” the 30-year-old reserve said. “I’m going to keep shooting if I’m open, because that’s my role.”
