Wow the Matt Bonner Dunk was giffed

Never mind Wright. The fact that Bonner finishes untouched makes me sick. Somebody should have clobbered him.

Sometimes I hate this team.

Every defender is going to make a mistake once in a while. Nitpicking one situation and labeling him "overrated" is just stupid. Wright has still been great defensively.

Good basketball move, nothing Wright or Bargnani could do.

Wow, I'm surprised Matt Bonner's dribbling and footwork improved so much.

No our defense has just digressed.

No doubt. I said this last season too. He's a good man to man defender but he has no sense of help defense at all.

Belinelli/Wright at PF, Andrea at C.

I think it kind of goes with the lousy rebounding and generally poor passing, he just doesn't have a good sense of where everyone is on the floor, and he doesn't anticipate rebounds or defensive rotations at all. He has all the necessary physical tools to stay on his man though.

That, by its definition, is not a tomahawk. He didn't even cock it back.

belinelli jumping in a direction that wouldn't come near bonner is hilarious

Of course it's not - but exaggerating is par for the course on this board - 'specially for the kiddies.

It's hard to see what Andrea was doing in the corner, but there must have been a man he was on. He was late recovering since it was from such a distance, but had Bonner brought the ball back even a little, like most players do for a dunk, Bargs had it lined up for a block.

Give Boner credit for A) blowing by a faster wing player and B) ducking the ball under the reach of the defense at the last moment.

Who was Bargs covering at the time?

Lets not forget that Bonner won a dunk competition in High School, so this is obviously the norm for him, nothing to be surprised about... ... ...

And look at Bonner flaunt his junk in Calderons face, unbelieveable! the gaul that guy has, this cant be good for the NBA.

Gotta hand it to Bonner, he got up pretty high there... you can see though that his take off isn't very polished so if he tried that with a defender within miles of him he'd probably lose the ball.
