not only is Cardinal way, way tougher than Ginger, Cardinal actually sinks 3s in the playoffs.
my point is, Jim Carrey uses Cardinal when he is forced to due to injuries. Pop uses Bonner as first bigman off the bench.

Cardinal has good mechanics as a shooter. No big surprise he's hitting em under pressure with guys running at him while Bonner and his right shoulder shot-puts end up being wild bricks that have no chance of going in when especially if there's anyone within 5 feet of him.
he came in and was the enforcer that force the heat players into fetus position and pushed back into their asses, dude came in with no tolerance bs handing out hard veteran fouls....
these threads are hilarious
Keep reading em, you might actually learn something someday.
I am learning that some Spur fans are even dumber than I might ever imagine. It's hilarious.
I will definitely keep reading.![]()
Brian Cardinal reminds a load of Danny FerryThose annoying bald white guys that get our nerves. Absolutely, he is way better. Higher Bball IQ and just plain tougher than Bonner.
I could see the Bonner and Pop love oozing out of Blake. It pains him to see Dallas scrubs being better under pressure than our ginger and fat boy Blair.
Me making fun of your pure Bonner/Pop hate does not mean I have pure Bonner/Pop love.
I do love your hate though. It's hilarious.
Cardinal and Bonner are similar players to compare. Bonner will probably win you a lot more games in the regular season but Cardinal will do the things it takes to win the playoffs and he can actually hit shots. As someone mentioned, I think Bonner chokes so much because of his re ed form, it's not natural and when the defender is closing out on him and he has to shoot faster, his ty form is ing his shot up. He needs to work with England. Or spend some time with Neal.
I think every knowledgeable San Antonio Spurs fan hate POP and Bonner right now( I'll throw in Jefferson in there too). I used like POP before 2008. What happened to the defensive minded, tough/gritty Pop of 1999-2007??? If anybody seen our coach, please tell him Tim Duncan and the San Antonio Spurs are looking for him.
I think you aren't a knowledgeable Spurs fan
I don't hate Pop or Bonner. I think Pop has been a ing idiot for the last few years but honestly our team wasn't winning any recent les with the cast we had. Playing Ian/Blair/Dice/whoever instead of Bonenr wasn't going to get us a le. I don't hate Bonner because he is what he is. It's not his fault he has t-rex arms and is slow and unathletic. He busts his ass out there, anyone can see that he tries, he's just not very good. And Pop is a dumbass for playing him so much. But he also coached this team to 4 les and managed an excellent team defense for a decade so I can't hate the man.
R-Gay is another story though.
some ppl still thinking Bonner is > Cardinal
:
some ppl saying that Cardinal >>> Bonner when they themselves admit that Cardinal is a player that the coach was forced to play due to injuries.
just hilarious.
exactly. Jim Carrey would also not play Bonner in prime playoff minutes.
get it? in other words any decent NBA coach not named Pop would only insert Bonner if all the other backup bigs were immobilized due to injury.
As usual, you have to talk about you know nothing about. Hate Bonner all you want - everybody is en led to an opinion. But his stroke is extremely good, and the rotation on the shots (especially those 3's) is incredible. Of all the things you could say about him, talking about his shooting mechanics and calling them "shot-puts" is probably the stupidest thing I could think of.
If you knew about the actual game, you might have noticed that late in the season he couldn't hit a 3 unless he was stepping into it. (And had one foot in front of the other.) If he was standing still and had both feet planted evenly, he couldn't knock one down to save his life. Guys develop quirks like that sometimes when they are trying to compensate from an injury. Gee... did Bonner have an injury that might make it necessary to step into long shots? Something like a knee, maybe? Ya think?
about him not stepping up in the playoffs. about him looking clumsy. about him not being able to defend Zach Randolph. But don't talk about ing shooting mechanics if you don't know anything about shooting mechanics. And don't bother me with one of your three page, mind-numbing responses. You're just wrong about this one. Let it go.
I get it perfectly.
You are now implying that Carlisle is a better coach than Pop.
crofl.

Cardinal is a much better defender than Bonner and has a toughness that Bonner lacks. Bonner shoots threes . . . so, yeah . . . Cardinal > Bonner.
this season of course he was. Carlisle was not only immensely better than Pop, he was the best in the league. Only a moron would disagree.
Honestly, I would not say one is better than the other..Bonner is much better all around on offense and Cardinal is much better on defense. However, Cardinal may get the nod with his janitor nickname though..
Pop's round 1 exit really showed Carlisle
