Oh . Here comes the mahoob.
Matt Bonner was playing solid minutes for 11 games in the 2012 WCF. The Spurs were 10-1. When he was on the bench for 3 games except for 3 minutes, the Spurs were 0-3. Yet according to many on here he was missing in the playoffs. It seems like he was doing his part. When he was on the bench he cant shoot the basketball. He cant rebound the basketball and he cant play defense either. Yet, he is blamed by some on here as the reason for losing. Same with Blair. These 2 players should ask for a trade to anywhere just to get away from the stupid people who blame them for the loss in the WCF. He is not my favorite player but he has played well for the Spurs every season he has been here. If you want to blame someone for the Spurs loss. BLAME POP. He went away from what got us there and we lost.
10-1 with him
0-3 without him
How important was he?

If Bonner played for the Thunder, Spurs would probably have swept the Thunder
if Bonner played for the Heat, they would have lost to NY
in the playoffs
if given the choice between having Lebron play against you or Bonner play for you, any sane coherent person would take the former
That doesn't matter. There was a play where Bonner was wide open for a 3 in the WCF, but he decided to try and drive. Ugh.
The Thunder would noticeably go on a run whenever he entered. Unlike most 3 point specialists whose percentages drop off in the playoffs because defenses account for them, OKC ignored him and his percentage still dropped. Wow.
Although he was passable in the Jazz series.
Matt Bonner ing sucks. If you don't realize that by now, you haven't been watching long enough.
0 les with him playing, 1 le with his ass on the bench except garbage time, chew on that stat.........
Do you even watch Spurs games?
I wonder why he was sitting on the bench![]()
This, tbfh.
I wish he STAYED on the bench.
Once again fool for you....
NO SPURS FAN with a mind of their own likes that idiot, period end of story, he is utter shyt and his playoff stats are horrible! Infact it starts before the playoffs, his stats start to fall before then as he is scared as when the real games come it seems.
Hey, he improved this year. He didn't disappear in the first round![]()
He was the weakest link.
like we needed another bonner thread
^ There it is.
And the Spurs are far worse in any playoff game, and at any time, in which Bonner is on the floor.
I love how not one single person in this thread has addressed what you brought up. Although I guess the guy who posted the correlation/causation wiki article was close.
I've fought this fight many times before, and have given up. People here are extraordinarily stubborn, moreso than anywhere else I've ever seen. You can explain the most basic thing in the clearest way possible, and they'll still fail to comprehend it.
Should've used blue, I guess...
I meant addressed why the team was 0-3 when he didn't play, and 10-1 when he did.
