Re: Bruce Bowen is overrated
Sequ, Bowen may be overrated in your book....not mine.....but he is still an intricate part of this year's team and teams past.
Yes he has lost a step (maybe 2) but he still regarded as one of or the best on the defender currently in the league.
I do agree with many who think we need to start looking for his successor. We had the a similar problem when finding a successor for Sean.

Re: Bruce Bowen is overrated
Bowen neutralized Vince Carter tonight. The only times Vince did much was when Bruce went to the bench and Finley was on him.
It doesn't really matter so much that Bruce scores...particularly if his defense limits the opponent's best scorer. When your defense helps your team hold the opponent under 40 points in the 1st halves of most games lately, why complain about Bruce's jumper? When your defense helps lead the NBA in points differential at over +8 per game, why complain about points contribution from Bruce Bowen?

Re: Bruce Bowen is overrated
BTW, by the time the first quarter ended, VC had 2 points and 4 TOs. Bruce Bowen had 3 points. Vinsanity scored 8 points while Bruce Bowen was on the floor tonight.

To beat the Suns and the Mavs, you are going to have to rebound and score because of their team offense. They don't have the one guy that you can stop and you'll win. You have to stop most of them. Honestly, 35 y/o Bowen can't stop any of them. Time to move on.
OK, I agree he'll probably be replaced in the starting lineup next year, but what would you suggest the Spurs do this season about Bowen? Even though his 3pt % is down right now, he is still a threat to other teams. Defensively, he's slowed down no doubt about that, but he is still better than alot of players in this league. You can't find too many players that would deticate themselves defensively and try to improve every year. Too many of them are trying to slamdunk their way to the ESPN Highlight Show.
Right now the most glaring problem that the Spurs face is staying within their game. In other words use their size and ram it down the Mavs and Suns throats!! NO MORE SMALL BALL !!!!!! :nope :nope

The Spurs need rebounding and if he could get his ass in gear and get 2 more a game, that would help out. Also, if he would limit his shots to wide open corner 3s, he might bring up his average.
Seeing Bruce getting 7+ attempts a game is a nightmare.

Yeah, I admit I don't like Bowen taking it to the hole. His strength is the corner 3.

This is 2007. I don't think we can cut and paste those 3s into the box score of any playoff games this year.

Re: Bruce Bowen is overrated
Bowen's defense was never what's in question. I think this season it's the other stuff that he's clearly regressed in that's really hurting the team. His lack of rebounding and scoring could be hidden, but this season when we need it the most it's really lacking. Combined with out lack of Center option (according to Pop), it's putting way too much pressure on Parker, Duncan, and Ginobili.
I think Bowen may be near the tail-end here. His defense is still pretty good, but I don't know how much longer he can continue to be a starter...
