We have an answer for Bonzi this time

by VWolf on Apr 30, 2008 1:34 PM CDT

Remember that Excremento series when Bonzi could not be stopped? I think he averaged something like 20 and 10. Well don't expect that to happen again. We have the perfect Bonzi stopper on the team in the Nigerian Ninja. Mr. Udoka is just as strong as Bonzi and an inch taller. He won't be shoved around by him in the post, and he can box him out on rebounds.

Look for Udoka's role to increase in this series. He appears to have gotten the playoff jitters out. He played very well last night.

Let's get Dirty Udoka rolling

I have one major reservation about Udoka – thus far, I haven’t heard one opposing player claim that he’s attempted to injure or kill them while on the court. This cannot stand.

Bruce is hated and feared throughout the league, and he’s a middle-aged man with a head shaped like a lightbulb who spends his spare time doing charity work with kids. Ime is a muscle-bound African brawler with a thing on his arm that may or may not be horribly contagious. With the right attitude, and a little training from Sensei Bowen, he could have the more effete perimiter scorers (Ray Allen? I’m looking at you) quaking in their shoes.

Bonzi Wells will be a good guy to practice on, because he’s utterly insane anyway. It needs to be Udoka’s new goal in life to drive Wells into either barricading himself in his hotel or bringing an automatic weapon into the locker room.

words!

had a good laugh about learning from sensei bowen and the “bowen is trying to kill me on the court” comment. Udoka is definately an african brawler.

You’re totally right. And KT needs to start working on his reputation, too. He’s got the eyes, he’s got the pointy head, and he’s got the Bowen-rictus down. He’s one push away from universal hate.

hell yeah

Udoka, will keep Bonzi under wraps. I’m more worried about the Paul-West combo. I’m just worried period, although I see the Spurs taking it in 6. I can’t wait.

Yes, the Paul and West combo is naturally more worrisome. It is just nice to know that Spurs won’t likely be owned by Bonzi as in the past. It is often the third or fourth option who tilts the balance in a playoff game (see Boris Diaw).
