I Can't Stand Bowen's game

[rascal]

He is flat out ugly to watch. He grabs jerseys, undercuts players, kicks his legs out at players, bumps into players and is overall a dirty player and has an ugly offensive game.
He can't hit a shot other than an occasional corner 3 point shot and overall adds to the spurs are boring tag. And is a poor dribbler and can't take it to the basket.

The sooner this guy is off the team the better.

[BruceBowenFan]

we have to get the sand out of your vagina

[200 miles]

would you be happier with brandon rush? if the spurs drafted him, that is

[bdictjames]

I dont think we'd have won any championship without Bruce.

Except for 99 of course.

[Kriz-Maxima]

I hope thats sarcasm.

[xtremesteven33]

this thread starter is an idiot

Of course they could have won without Bowen.

[SAGambler]

You obviously don't appreciate "lock down" defense.

But I bet you enjoy the hell out an Amare slam dunk.

There is no such thing as lock down defense. Where was bowen last night? Wasn't he suppose to be the Kobe stopper?

[SAGambler]

Charles Barkley "you have to knock him on his ass"

And then he has the nerve to call Horrys' play on West a "Cheap Shot".

WTF. Has Barkley gambled away part of his brain too?

[Doctor J]

I've watched NBA basketball for 33 years.

Bowen is one of the top perimeter defenders ever.

He is right up there with Dennis Johnson, Gary Payton, Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen.

Without him, Spurs might have won just one or two championships.

[kyleo]

Kobe had nothing but praise for Bruce during pre-game last night. A far cry from the Ray Allens of the league who can't stomach someone actually guarding them.

[hater]

this thread after Bowen's great D on Kobe?

oh, its that rascal idiot again. why r u back?

aren't u the idiot that wanted to trade Manu away for some scrub?

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

I'd say he was a key contributor in 03. Spurs absolutely don't win in 05 without Bowen. They probably don't make it to the finals without him in 07. They'd be fishing right now without him this year.

[BiZNicK]

Amazing how a loss to the Lakers brings out the stupidity of poster who claim to be Spurs fans.

[MoSpur]

I thought Ghost Writer's thread about "Why the Spurs Will Not Win This Series" was the worst. I take that back. This thread is.

[Kriz-Maxima]

wait, wait...so you are serious???

[rascal]

this thread after Bowen's great D on Kobe?

oh, its that rascal idiot again. why r u back?

aren't u the idiot that wanted to trade Manu away for some scrub?

No Manu for Iguodala and Dalembert. Those are not scrubs.

[Los Spurs]

It's just amazing to see how some so called Spurs Fans dog on their own team...

[rascal]

They can't win without Bowen is just an opinion. You say they can't win without him, I say they can. Its all opinions.

[nkdlunch]

They can't win without Bowen is just an opinion. You say they can't win without him, I say they can. Its all opinions.

so let's say we didn't have Bowen. Who are you going to put on the opponents best perimeter player??

[baseline bum]

Yeah, the team looked great in that 14-0 run without Bruce last night you retard fuck.

[E20]

Then shut the fuck up about you whining fucking pansy. Fuck, you're the type of fan that gives all us fans a whining name. Just fucking suck it up and watch the best perimeter defender do his thing.

[Trainwreck2100]

No Manu for Iguodala and Dalembert. Those are not scrubs.

or manu for Vince carter, another one of your brilliant ideas

[rascal]

so let's say we didn't have Bowen. Who are you going to put on the opponents best perimeter player??

Can't answer this without knowing who would be on the team as the starting sf.

Depends on who is on the spurs and matchups.

Bowen has made the spurs an ugly team to watch for most fans outside of San Antonio Spur fans.

Just face it, you are biased if you say you like his game and don't believe he is a cheap shot dirty play artist.

The spurs success revolves around Duncan, not Bowen. Bowen is not a necessity to win. Just because they have won with Bowen doesn't mean they would not win without him. They won in 99' without Bowen. He is not a lock down defender. No one locks down the great perimeter players. You can make them work a little harder but overall they still get their points.

Kobe has lit him up many times in the playoffs.

[rascal]

or manu for Vince carter, another one of your brilliant ideas

Carter is a great player on teams that have never had strong inside players. Carter and Duncan and Parker together would have won titiles.

Carter has better stats and will end up with better stats than manu at the end of their careers. Manu was just fortunate to have played with Duncan so he will have more titles.

But that is another topic, this is about Bowen.

[baseline bum]

So it's just a coincidence that LA goes on a 14-0 run the very second Bowen is pulled off Bryant?

[ducks]

rascal
do you like the spurs or do you like to say you do but only post what you do not like about the spurs and nothing you like about them

[BiZNicK]

Bowen was a huge factor in getting pass the Hornets. Remember Peja? He went missing after Game 2.

[Kori Ellis]

:lol You picked a bad day to make this thread.

Bowen in the game yesterday = Spurs +18
Highest other +/- for a Spur = +5
Finley in the game = Spurs -21
Manu in the game = Spurs -19

You might have had an argument on another day. But not today.

What was Jaque Vaughns?

[Emanuel20]

What was Jaque Vaughns?

-3
same as Ime'sa and Parker's

[BiZNicK]

I don't get the whole +/- thing... what is based on?

[Kori Ellis]

I don't get the whole +/- thing... what is based on?

How much the Spurs outscore the opponent (or get outscored) when a particular player is on the court.

When Bowen was on the court yesterday, the Spurs outscored the Lakers by 18.

+/- isn't always a great tool. Sometimes a player is just lucky enough to be on the court when his teammates do good things and go on a run.

But yesterday, anybody could see that Kobe went right after Udoka/Manu as soon as Bowen went to the bench. You could almost see him drooling at the fact that Bowen was finally off him.

[Findog]

His game is ugly but effective. If he's on your team, you make excuses and apologia for him. If he's not on your team, you bitch about him.

Oh, ok thanks. I always had a feeling it had something to do with all of a player's stats, sort of like an efficiency rating...

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

apologia
SAT word right there. :tu

The rest of the statement was pretty good too.

[Kori Ellis]

It surely seemed like that happened but now for game 2 who is supposed to guard Kobe when Bruce is resting?

Well he's going to have to play about 42 minutes a game. So he shouldn't rest that often :lol especially when Kobe is on the court. But Udoka, should be able to hand in there for 2-3 minutes or so.

[rascal]

rascal

[jman3000]

nobody.

i think bowen would have played kobe minute for minute if he hadnt gotten in "foul trouble".

if udoka does end up checking him, as kori suggested, it's going to be on a fast break that bowen doesn't get back on or if they somehow switch on a picknroll.

[MoSpur]

I bet that +18 was mostly in the third quarter when Pop decided to give the game to the Lakers

[Beast]

It's just amazing to see how some so called Spurs Fans dog on their own team...

he's NOT a spurs fan, he's a DOUCHE!

EVERY knowledgable fan and/or sports analyst knows he is one of the best defensive players in the league. Everyone wants to hate and flap jaws, but I guarantee every team would want Bruce on their team. It's been said time and time again.

That's odd. I know someone else just like that.

[Emanuel20]

We as fans and the San Antonio Spurs Organization should appreciate everything Bowen has done for us and how though of defense the guy plays night in and night out. He has gotten no appropriate recognition for being the top perimeter defender in the NBA and he still has not won the defensive player of the year. Not fair.

[rascal]

Not hated Bowen just hated on his game.
The Spurs could have won with a more entertaining brand of baskerball. Not the boring team that most of the country doesn't even care to watch. Bowen's game is ugly and a more all around sf could have been just as good to the teams success.

[LANATIVE]

I can't stand Bowen. He is a dirty player that takes cheap shots. But he can flat out play defense. I would take him on my team.

[rascal]

Fuck off, ya loser.

Bring something to the thread or stay out if you don't like it.

[LakerLanny]

How can the NBA justify not suspending Bowen for his hit on Sasha last night when Kobe got suspended for FAR LESS last year when he hit Manu on a normal basketball play?

It is that type of inconsistency that makes many believe the league is rigged. Garnett also should have been suspended in the Atlanta series for pushing a ref.

so what do you call peja being completely taken out of a series after two 20+ point performances?

peja was part of the hornets big 3. paul, west, and peja going off was going to be bad news for the spurs. bowen takes the assignment and peja doesn't hit more than 3 or 4 shots a game.


No Manu for Iguodala and Dalembert. Those are not scrubs.

iguodala is decent at best, but he won't give you the intangibles that manu will. and did you see him in the playoffs this year? he was awful. andre miller has carried that team to any shred of success they've had, not iggy.

Its funny how in this whole thread rascal has not yet responded to the fact that Kobe had like 4 points or so before they took Bowen out of the game. Then Kobe goes on to abuse Udoka and Manu.

Peja isn't all that great. Just play him tight on the perimeter shot and you can take him out of the game.

Bowen can stop Peja he cannot stop Kobe. Iguodala will be better than Manu in a couple of years and Dalembert will give the spurs a legitimate center option.

Kobe scores when Kobe chooses to score.

That's the way it is.

He holds back, and gets everybody involved so that everybody will be ready when necessary.

Know your team better - usually when allme scores a lot of points the lakers are not as good. That said, allme will admit and testify that Bowen slows him down and keeps him from doing what he needs to do better than any other player in the league.

how exactly was that Gasol trade allowed to go through? I'll have to agree with you that the league is rigged

[Ghost Writer]

I hate Bowen's game and still am not convinced that his defense makes up for his lack of offense and bad FT shooting, but I respect what he can do.

No one can hold Kobe.

But I like it when Pop sticks Bowen on PGs like Paul and Nash.

And Bowen is pretty reliable with that baseline 3.

[Spurminator]

overall adds to the spurs are boring tag.

:lmao I can't, for the life of me, understand why any Spurs fan care about this. Do you want to change up this team's roster to cater to Suns fans? I don't get it.

Stupid fuck yourself. It was coincidence. Kobe decided to bring it offensively in the 2nd half. And he scored on Bowen when he needed to in the 4'th.

It was not a good thing that the so called defensive stopper was sitting on the bench in foul trouble when the team needed him the most to stop Kobe from taking over the game offensively and taking the big spurs lead back.


There have been enough games in the past that show Kobe torching Bowen. He is just too good to stop. Too quick to the basket for Bowen.

Bowen makes Kobe work harder but as a defensive stopper on Kobe, no way.

[DazedAndConfused]

Actually Bowen was one of the few Spurs that could actually hit a jumpshot in Game 1.

Dude is cash money from the corner 3.

1. he does not like defense-oriented team, he calls it boring
2. he does not like bowen's defense on opposing players. hell, even kobe admits that bruce is the best out there
3. he likes carter and his no-defense attitude. yuck!
4. he likes samuel dalembert. look at his last games against the pistons
can you believe that he is a spurs fan? rascal, thanx for being a very good spurs fan. i salute you.

I dont like Bowen as a Laker fan but I do respect him as a defensive player...it takes alot to play defense....plus he knows that he will get physically punished at times playing defense and accepts the punishment...not like that loser Raja Bell that plays defense head first and then complains when he gets hit with elbows....he should get his ugly face away from those elbows...and stop crying all the time

GO Lakers

Bowen is the shit :hat

We should buy rascal a ticket so he can boo when they raise Bowen's jersey to the rafters.

I like Bruce's game. He takes pride in his defense and is damn good at it. Every team needs a Bruce Bowen.

The starter of this thread is a complete ass.

Bruce actually has had the most consistent 3-point shot so far in the WCF. He knows his role, doesn't get in the way of our offense, and he is priceless and irreplaceable in defense.

I actually think this guy is a suns fan or mav fan or something........what a waste of 9 months.
