Re: Prime Spurs Bowen vs curry
Well the big reason the Spurs won those series is because they shit down guys like Shawn Marion and others. Nash and Stoudamire got theirs, everyone else was shut down, however, they'd also out scored the hell out of the Suns as well.
That said, Bowen could hang with him, but he'd get torched. Now he would've shut down Klay Thompson, that's a given.

Now Dumars on Curry would be fun to watch.
Re: Prime Spurs Bowen vs curry
I think Bowen would slow him down the question is for me is on things are officiated. Are we talking bumping and hand checking is cool like it was for the first half of Bowen? If so curry gets little to no separation. If its officiated like today's NBA where a ball handler gets breathed on then tosses a wild fling towards the basket and gets shots results in a curry going off. Curry would also manage about 3 shots with Bowens foot crowding before he snaps and ankle.

Doubt that. Curry wouldnt be completely shut down but bowen could contain him. My only worry is that lack of offense bowen to provide.

Curry is awesome and I'm sure he would put up points against Bowen, but I think Bruce was an all time great and would have given him some problems. If you're fast enough to stay in front if Kobe, that says it all.
Plus if really was bigger stretch 4's like Dirk that gave Bowen problems, not quick guys.
Because Manu would go god mode against them, tbh.

He got lit up like a Christmas light in the 2nd half of their 2nd meeting.
In their lone meeting, Curry was 9/27 (33%) with 8 turnover against Bradley while he went 20/44 (45%) with 7 turnover in two meetings against KCP.
