That stance doesn't look like what he's using this season.

short clip 44 secs of matt shooting from 3 pt land a couple of years ago. Same low shot, same feet spread, and same results. Good nights and bad nights.

You gotta love Spurstalk.
Seriously.
There are posters that go so much in details as to microdissect Matt Bonner's tecnique of shooting 3 pointers.
The position of the right leg. Or whether he grins during a timeout.
This GSH chap is one of a kind, some two weeks ago he was analyzing in even greater details Green's boxing out (or lack of) in one single possession.
Pretty amazing.
I can tell you one thing for sure, not even professional coaches go so much in details.
The problem I see with this at ude is that you tend to lose the big picture.
Now, assuming GSH is right (Bonner's problem initiates with the knee injury), you have 8 months to heal. Nothing structural so that should be enough.
That will be enough for a 60 years old guy that is NOT a professional athlete.
And that is more than my educated guess.
There is another, simpler explanation: Bonner is 32.
He is the ultimate specialist, relying exclusively on his 3 point shot for his living, which is a spot up opportunity coming from the feeds of others.
As he has never been remotely close to the average NBA player in terms of athleticism in his young days, he is just dropping below that thin liìne that keeps him running up and down the court with these young guys AND have enough breath to release his shot correctly whwnever a Manu-less team feeds him.
He was in the lane long enough to have pitched a tent and started a fire - by rubbing two sticks together.
...and the annual playoff choking.
You don't want to know
Probably goes along these lines:
What's truly laughable is that the rest of the family members just go about their business as if nothing were out of the ordinary... except near the end when they offer him a relaxing sedative so that he will "be able to rest through the night"...
Temujun - if you knew about basketball, you wouldn't have posted this:
Oh, wait... you aren't even watching the ing games:
Thanks for explaining the "big picture" to me. But that's all you can get by reading articles, isn't it?
Did I sting you? Nothing personal, actually.
Is that all you came up with from my "production"?
You spent some time, so I owe you this.
I have watched Games 1-9, untill ILP expired.
And yes I am not watching a Manu-less team playing an overpacked NBA schedule, with most of the games being decided by which team is less tired.
Check out what I wrote about games I didn't watch, while you are it.
That's quick.
One thing is sure, I don't look at reruns of single meaningless possessions in the thrid quarter.
Yes, the first Spurs games was defense and Ginobili. Check out the stats.
Yes, Indiana seems to be doing pretty well with Hill (quite a turnaround isn't it?), and this Leonard guy is untested in tough games. In the meantime, Bertans is doing little, and Lorbek is by far, in my humble opinion, the best of the lot. That, I watch.
Yes, Danny Green (by the way, good comparison to Anthony Parker) comes from NC: isn't that an organization that could be qualified as SOLID BACKGROUND, basketball-wise?
Check out the stats of their kids turning professional athletes.
What else?
Anderson? I was a bit optimistic by comparing to jefferson, a player I never liked. I wasn't kind to Anderson.
So what's left?
Ah yes the spelling of Bertans.
Terrible mistake.
Back to the big picture.
There is no Manu to feed wide open threes to Matt Bonner.
Bonner is 32 and can't keep up with the young legs around the league.
I write this precisely because I know what it means to be young, on a basketball court, and then less young.

That's all I needed to read. You're not even watching the games, and you want to come here and talk ? Nobody's interested in you puking back what you read in the game thread. The only thing worse than an asshole is an irrelevant asshole.
I wanted to wait until I had something specific to counter with. I'm watching the Heat game. With just under 5:00 in the 2nd, Bonner put up a 3. His left foot is 18" behind his right.
NO... his shot is nothing like what it was in that video. That video is near picture perfect. What we're seeing now is poop.
The chap losing some 10 millions (and counting) on my comments on internet would probably disagree.
I should probably find some time to read your posts more often.
The descriptons are more vivid than watching games live.
And way more fun.
