Bruce Bowen...

[Red Hawk #21]

Do Spurs fans realize how good this guy is? I think this guy is underrated.This guy is the kind of player that gets respect from me, every single night you know Bruce will be out there playing his heart out ,he gives it his all every night. People like Peja are not even remembered with Bowen guarding him. This is the only man who can slow down the likes of Kobe, Tmac, Lebron, and other elite players. Bowen is a stud imo, I really love that dude and I really think that the Spurs organization should think about retiring this guys Jersey after he retires. He really deserves it.:toast.

[Tyler_Durden]

Bowen's pretty good.

[ducks]

ofcouse he is underrated he has no d player of the year awards!

[Red Hawk #21]

That guy just has so much heart, what people don't realize is that Defense is mostly about effort and to show that effort you need heart. And Bowen has plenty.

Weird night to start a Bowen thread. Peja lit him up in the first, Ime had to come in and save the day in that matchup.

[Avitus1]

Go to San Antonio and look around for Bruce Bowen Jersey's you'll get the idea.

Okay Debbie Downer. :lol Just let someone give Bruce some appreciation. He's done very well in this series (outside of tonight's first half).

Bowen is awesome, but what ASF forgets is that Bowen had a big role is slowing down Chris Paul who started off red hot.

[timmydidit]

nah I just thought Bruce Bowen was wack.. thanks for letting me know his worth

[Solid D]

Good lookin' out, Red Hawk. True.

Spurs fans see it night-in and night-out and one day, when Bruce is no longer there, Bruce's impact will be obvious to those who didn't already understand.

Sorry :lol Bowen locks down Peja in game 7 and drops six threes, I'll bump this one myself. Just sayin', Ime was the man...

Exactly, you guys will miss him when he's gone. Its going to be hard to find a true shut down defender like him, but he is also humble, hardworking and he plays hard every night. Not everyone has those traits...

Spurs better use each one of their draft picks on defensive stoppers who can barely shoot but who Chip can coach.

[mVp]

A few days ago I said Bruce is still playing like he's 20 or something, you gotta respect that, the dude's amazing.

Or they can use the draft picks to address team needs and let Ime continue his tutelage under Bowen.

We are indeed lucky to have someone like Bruce. :toast

[Brutalis]

I don't even wanna think about Bruce not playing.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruce is great. For me he's one of those guys I know he'll get the job done every night.

Bruce is sick . He gets the job done . Kobe in his inverviews says bowen is the man who slows him down . Its ashame that he hasnt got the d player award .

Bowen = shut down .

[MI21]

The list of players Bowen has been asked to defend over the years is truly astounding. Not just the ability of those players, but the sort of player they are.

He has been called upon the defend Zach Randolph, Chris Bosh, Dirk Nowitzki, Lamar Odom..

He has been called upon to defend Steve Nash, Allen Iverson, Chris Paul, Chauncey Billups..

He has been called upon to defend LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, Dwyane Wade..

Tall shooters. Tall bangers. Tall perimeter players. Tall versatile players.

Distributing PG's. Scoring PG's. Mixture of both PG's.

Physical freak swingmen, fast swingmen, shooting swingmen, all around swingmen.

The man is amazing.

[mrspurs]

bruce sets the tone......he scares more players in the nba then anyone else on the spurs roster.....go spurs go
