If we lose to the Lakers or any other team cuz we couldn't gaurd Kobe or whomever else, then would it really have been a great trade? Did the trade matter in the end if we lose anyway?
We lost with Bowen playing minutes in 08, why the hell would it be different with him being 2 years older?

Popovich: Bowen won't return to spurs
Quote:
Gregg Popovich believes that Bruce Bowen could fit in with the right team, but it probably won't be the Spurs.
The Bucks waived Bowen at the end of July and the forward is now a free agent.
"He might come back with the right team in the right situation, but it's probably not going to be San Antonio," Popovich said, according to the Boston Globe

Re: Popovich: Bowen won't return to spurs
Even I begin to tire of this...although there are those who will continue to predict the downfall of the spurs because they don't have an antique Bowen in the deep freezer...

If none of those guys, then if the Spurs bring back Bowen to be a meaningful part of this team, are you proposing that the Spurs go small in crunch time?
I'd sit Bruce. I'm afraid when RJ get in foul trouble.
Finley and Mason are terrible on D. I'd like Bruce to help RJ do the dirty work

Duncan, according to Popovich, is in the best shape of his career and eager to win a fifth ring.
So what happened to starting off the season out of shape?

Re: Spurred Into Action: Time To Ante Up In San Antonio (With Pop Quotes)
- Good to know Timmy is in shape.
- Finley should be in Bruce's place right now and I dont think we're completely done with Bowen.
- Let's get number 5.

Re: Popovich: Bowen won't return to spurs
Anyone really surprised here?
Unless there are major injuries with the Spurs. Bowen will not be a part of the team, nor any team for that manner.
99% Retired from basketball. I'm sure his name will float around later in the season, but just don't see it happening.

Re: Popovich: Bowen won't return to spurs

The reaction is because:
1. This is the third thread today based on the Boston Globe article.
2. Your post and the thread title state that Bowen 'for sure isn't coming back". Pop's quote says "probably not".

Re: Popovich: Bowen won't return to spurs
Just an FYI about RealGM. Their wiretap stuff is a piece of an article from another source, in this case the Boston Globe. If you follow the 'via Boston Globe' link it will bring up the original piece. You can then see the headline and tell if it's already been posted here. Sometimes their headline is looking for attention, like 'Popovich: Bowen won't return to Spurs' when the original headline is less inflammatory 'Spurred into action'. :)

He didn't say he was. I guess Pop won't be meeting that goal. :lol

228, help me out...
Would this be the third or second straight year Pop's made that statement in referrence to Tim?
And, yeah, Pop wants Timmy out of game-shape entering camp, little to no road work, but Timmy's still got to hit the gym and watch the diet; which Tim's really made a priority of in his last couple of years.

It's at least the second. He said it last year after Duncan's tractor tire throwing came out in the press. And he said it the beginning of the '07-'08 season, going into the attempt at a repeat.
He may have also said it at the beginning of the '06-'07 season, after the plantar fasciitis in '05-'06. :lol

Yeah, I know he said it last year and I'm pretty sure he did it the year before as well; Pop almost raved about his body in a way that some would assume only be reserved for Finley.:hat

Re: Time To Ante Up In San Antonio (Pop Says Bowen Probably Won't Return)
Bruce Bowen is IMHO almost as important to the Spurs as Parker, Ginobili, and Duncan are.
Spur fans really don't understand how much of a luxury it is to have a guy on their team that can literally take out the opposing team's best player and frustrate him all night.
