    People need to quit thinking plays have only one option... in reality Bonner was probably the 4th option on that play

    bonner paniced...he should have swung the ball to barry who was wide open. IMO, bonner should not have been in the game.

    Exactly right which also means the Spurs lack of execution was rediculous

    The play was drawn up for Manu to come off of a double screen on the baseline. Horry passed it to Bonner (who was a decoy on the play) because Bonner was open.

    At least he was open until Battier's sliding tackle.

    Test him now.

    Sit his ass in the playoffs if he doesn't prove himself by then.


    I don't want Parker shooting game winning free throws either.

    In truth he was still open after the foul, but the man just can't make a critical shot.

    Bonner first mistake was trying to dribble. His next mistake was shooting it off the dribble. He's a standstill jumpshooter only. He needs to stop trying to do things he's not capable of doing

    Coach Newman said Manu and Brent were the options 1 and 2 on the play

    Pop put Bonner and Barry in for a reason...they had to be options. Bonner was put in the game for the last play, had a wide open 10-12 footer...couldn't have asked for a better shot actually.

    If you don't want Bonner shooting a wide open shot, don't put him in.

    If I was Houston, I woulda laid off Bonner too. Let him catch the ball and do something stupid. Just don't let Manu touch it.

    Bonner had tunnel vision after he got the ball, it was him and the basket

    We honestly must be the worst 4th quarter execution team in the league.


    Although, judging by our wins within 5 points margin last year, the same could've been said then too

    Interesting that Parker wasn't on the court.

    And correct me if I'm wrong, but i can't think of a single time in Spurs uniform that Matt Bonner hit a shot in a close game in the final two minutes.

    Wait, so Horry was supposed to pass the ball to Manu? Or first to Bonner, then Bonner to Manu? I'm just wondering who made the passing mistake...Horry or Bonner?

    So he needs to make shots off balance with under 2 seconds to go in games? Got it.

    This game isnt' on Bonner.

    thats the point. he cant hit a clutch shot even if he's wide open, i would rather we put someone else on the floor.

    It looked like he recovered to me, he just missed his one handed shot. Maybe he shouldn't be out there to bust up plays.

    The play was for Horry to inbound it to Manu in the corner for a three. Horry saw Bonner pop open and gave him the ball. Not a horrible idea by Horry since Bonner was open and Manu had a bit of trouble getting off the screens.

    Nobody said the loss was on Bonner. I just don't want to see him shooting runners at the end of games, at the beginning of games or any other time.
    He was making those running bs attempts early in the season. He either got stripped like a fool or made the shot.

    Still, Big Red should not dribble.

    Yeah it makes a lot of sense for a guy who has hardly played in the 4th to come in on the last play to be the decoy.
    Bonner had no business being in there.
