Game Blog: Warriors @ Spurs - March. 21

[Chomag]

Good, God!! Bonner is sucking!

[ezau]

When was the last time Bonner had a double-double? Pop is kicking himself for not giving minutes to Tiago

[Obstructed_View]

lol bonner everytime he misses a shot the golden state warriors make a shot on the other end

And Splitter's plus minus goes down a little more.

[tdunk21]

Tiago 10pts 10rebs

[Mugen]

got the worse aspects of Bonner/Splitter on the last play haha....

[Obstructed_View]

Three fouls in a couple of minutes for Splitter. Yikes.

[DesignatedT]

it makes sense that T would take stretch 4 who disappears constantly over a legit defensive center though, so you shouldnt be surprised.....

but that's the thing... I don't prefer that.

[CFH]

Bull call

[Mugen]

gimme a in break with that BS call.

[Obstructed_View]

How nice would it have been for Splitter to be getting minutes all season long so the refs could get used to him?

[bigdog]

Horrible call.

[Supergirl]

Is it possible we've found a team that shoots FTs worse than us?

[Spurs Brazil]

Great block RJ, BS foul in Tiago

[ace3g]

Splitter gets another "rookie call" more PT and that doesn't happen

[DPG21920]

well they are actually 3-1 with perkins in the lineup. With wins against Charlotte,Miami and Washington and a loss to Toronto.

Your guy is an NBA player? What are you talking about? Gee plays in the NBA also. How is Mahinmis situation any better then Gee's?

I am the worst poster because I like our head coach, I trust our front office and I don't blame Bonner after every loss got it.

It's pretty damn clear to those who watch that Ian is better than Gee. Ian is doing well when he plays on a team that is winning. Gee sucks on the worst team in the league.

OKC is 11-2 since the trade, which goes with what everyone said; Green sucks and losing him did not hurt OKC. Getting Perk helps them as much as losing Green did. End of story.


I love our coach, trust our front office and I don't blame Bonner for losses. Please link to where I do that. I do think that Bonner sucks and doesn't really add much to the Spurs if he isn't scoring. Which in the playoffs has held true. I don't blame the losses on him, but I do see how he hurts the Spurs especially on nights like this.

[Ice009]

Bonner gives great effort. That is all I will say about him on the defensive end. I give him credit for that

His defense is mediocre and his rebounding is below average. CAN NOT, AND WILL NOT say anything better than that.

[Mugen]

get ready to see this team get murdered inside without Timmy for the next couple of weeks.

[DPG21920]

He's not that bad, but he's a liability if all-star caliber players who are some combination of bigger, longer, or more athletic start to isolate on him and the Spurs don't do anything about it. I'm unsure why people who like Bonner and want the Spurs to win would want this to happen at any point, let alone happening for several possessions in a row at times.

I agree. Pop puts him in a position to fail, but there is no avoiding it. If you play Bonner, this is the NBA and every team will attack him. They should. It's the right thing to do.

Bonner teaching Tiago how to defend without fouling

[BillMc]

Maybe Pop is trying to let Bonner shoot himself out of his slump on one of the weakest teams we have remaining.

Though it didn't work for RMJ last year...

[Obstructed_View]

His team defense is pretty good and he can get hustle rebounds that make a difference. When he's not being singled out and exploited individually there's not much problem having him on the floor.

[NRHector]

Bonner teaching Tiago how to defend without fouling

you are being sarcastic right?

[Obstructed_View]

Well, no problem other than not having someone who's a good defender in his place.

[Ice009]

What is that running backwards defense???????

Who taught Bonner that?

[Pauleta14]

Sadly, you're probably right. I forgot their choke potential.

it's happening...
