the only marklar for this is to marklar.
Not even give Manu a touch. Let Tony dribble it down, design some half ass pick and roll play with Tim that Minnesota was all over, and have the third option be Matt Bonner for three.
Unfrigginbelievable.
the only marklar for this is to marklar.
His lineup at the start of the fourth when we were down was even better!
I don't think Bonner was the third option. I think Duncan was a decoy and the play was designed for Bonner. Tony executed it at the exact right time, Bonner just missed.
Most predictable thread of the night.
Looked like a damn good play to me. It was obviously drawn up for Bonner to get that three wide open when KG went to help. Bonner had been hitting big shots all game.
Don't get what there is to complain about.
That was a good play, Bonner just missed!
bonner sucks.
Let me get this straight. You design a play for Matt Bonner to win or lose the game at the end of regulation?
No, you design a play for a Matt Bonner to take a three in a tie game. When your idea of a high percentage shot is 25 feet from the basket, there's something wrong with your coaching.
Desperate times call for desperate measures
Not fouling after Minnesota got the offensive rebound is stupid!
according to some posters on this board the team is alright. Of course they'll continue to say this after we lost to a .500 team in OT. What blind loyalty. More fans should be more critical of their team, it's called tough love. Or else people will view each game with rose colored glasses.
you all are a bunch of re s. Poppovich has probably forgotten more about basketball, than all of your dumbass know combined!!. Don't you think he knows his team and what the he's doing ?, I would think so... morons.
You look for a scapegoat always after a loss, instead of admitting your team is playing like right now. They look like a weak Eastern Conference team at the moment, but it's Pop's fault, right.
Sometimes i wish there was more media in this town just to give Pop the buisness.
Bonner got a wide open shot in a tie game. He hits that more than he misses it. What more do you want?
He hits that shot, that gives him more confidence down the line and into the playoffs to hit the next big shot. It was the perfect play call and one that timvp predicted as the timeout was called.

Thanks. I didn't watch the game. I just don't understand how you call Matt Bonner's number on the biggest possesion when you have Ginobili, Parker, and Duncan on your team. Were those guys in the game? I'm confused.
I don't think it was a good play because we should have given to one of the big three, because they are usually the ones taking clutch shots. Bonner is just now finding his rhythm with the Spurs.
you dont take a 3 when all you need is a 2
you go for the inside bucket
I don't mind bonner taking that shot in the 2nd qtr
but no way in do i want the ball in his hands at the end of regulation
especially with manu, tp, and td on the floor
i can live with one of those 3 missing at regulation knowing we gave the ball to one of our best players in crunch time
Alot of guys can be set up for that shot but can they handle the pressure to make it...your man Boner wasn't even close.
i would've liked a drive to the hoop alot earlier,then if nothing was there,kick it out.but bonner was wide open so i dont mind the attempt. i know he can make that shot,it just didnt go in
You need a math lesson. Two guys in the NBA hit that shot more than they miss it. If you run that play for Barry I might be with you.
And just because you predicted it doesn't make it a good call, it just makes Pop's idiocy predictable.
Matt Bonner isn't paid to take clutch shots at the end of regulation. That would be in the job description of Ginobili, Duncan, and to a lesser extent Parker. I think that was a dumb play.
It's the beginning of January in a tie game. If you can give someone confidence by drawing up a play for him and hitting it, you do that. Pop did the same for players like Stephen Jackson and even Manu before Manu was star.
It was a perfect situation to build on Bonner's improved play. He hits it and this forum is celebrating.
He missed it and the T'Wolves win in OT so now Spurs fans are crying in their soup![]()
