Matt Bonner sucks.
Never thought I would say this, but I believe the media gave Manu and Tony appropriate ranks, but severely overrated Duncan. Tim was a top 30 player last year, but to rank him 18 is definitely overvaluing him, especially seeing the difference between a Zach Randolph (20) and Duncan in the playoffs.
Spurs were massive losers in this lockout. It was quite obvious that R.C. was going to make drastic changes this summer, mostly through trades, and we were not able to have a full summer to do that. These NBARanks I believe are more than fair, but what it points out to me is that fact that you can't win a le with the 17,18,28th best players in the NBA being your top 3. You have to have at least one top five guy, or a guy that is at least performing as a top 5 guy, plus 2 other guys who are playing top 20 ball. We don't have that anymore. We needed this offseason badly, but unfortunately, we'll never get the time we needed to work the phones and improve our team. This team is setup to go to the second round, and with the right matchup, get to the Western Conference Finals, but they don't have enough to get over the hump.
I still believe we would've come out of the West last year if Manu doesn't get hurt. We basically forfeited home court because Manu couldn't play Game 1, and Memphis was the only team last year that could've beaten us. We would've beat the Lakers and annihilated the Mavericks.
do you have a bonner prediction for when the season starts? will he be getting hot in this seasons playoffs?
Yea, god forbid we have the best 3 point shooter in the league on a team that lives and dies by threes. Keep up the bashing it makes you guys sound real intelligent.
#1 poster already said he was wrong about Bonner.
When that 3 point shooter is a player that should be defending the post and grabbing rebounds, then...yes, please. God forbid it.
By the way, if you are going to question others' intelligence, you probably shouldn't do it with a run-on sentence. Just sayin'.
When did the Spurs trade for Ray Allen?
the pistons won in 04 without a top 10 player. they won as a team & destroyed shaq & kobe.
the spurs are missing 1 piece that would make them legit contenders for the le and thats another big that can start next to duncan and play 25-30 mins a game. other than that, the spurs are set.
The Spurs didn't give it their best shot last season. Their best shot would have been to have integrated Splitter into the starting lineup. Have Dice come of the bench with Blair and have Bonner play spot minutes. They also should have looked to push the pace more and focus on playing better defense.
tim still has it
dont let the memphis series fool you he had a series....when he wanted his stats he got it without trying, it was when the offense went away from him or him looking at distributing that cost us the games...
#18 Manu Ginobili
#121 Vince Carter
That's about right.
