The thing is Phx has Nash who is going to pass 90% of the time he gets by his man. LeBron is just going to take it to the rim until somebody stops him and then he passes to Boobie. Lets hope Brucie can contain LeBron and if he shuts down LeBron, I say Finals MVP but that almost seems like Mission Impossible right now.
Re: Believe in Bruce Bowen
If Bruce holds LeBron into the realm of mortals in this series...he deserves the finals MVP...I don't G a F how many points Duncan scores...Bruce has the toughest job.

I know the Spurs are gonna win this, but just to make sure I'm gonna pray to God 24/7 until the finals are over.

Thanks.
Re: Believe in Bruce Bowen
I've been saying it, and I say it again. Bruce is the man, and Bruce Bowen will step up and show the world who the DPOY of the last several years really is.
It's his time to prove all the haters wrong. The biggest spotlight, maybe the last great shot at proving them all wrong. Bruce may have a little trouble 1 or 2 games (for adjusting and Lebron getting calls) but Bruce will contain him or better to win this series.
The NBA Finals, Bruce Bowen vs. the NBA darling Lebron James
Go Bruce!!
:ihit :ihit :ihit :ihit
I BELIEVE.
Re: Believe in Bruce Bowen
Bowen will do a decent job in at least slowing down LBJ... and our team defense will help do the rest.
Re: Believe in Bruce Bowen
Did you hear Bruce comment about James' performance in Game 5?
"Isn't he supposed to do that?"
Let it begin.
:cooldevil

Good point.
Bruce Bowen, The Most Hated Man in the NBA, will now become Bruce Bowen, The Most Hated Man in America.
If he's lucky, he gets a cameo in a Nike commercial out of it.
Re: Believe in Bruce Bowen
I would like to believe that Bowen would shut down James, but Bowen has a history of of having a hard time guarding players physically stronger than him.

No, but he'll show who the real DPOY really is of the past several years on the greatest stage that he possibly can.
Re: Believe in Bruce Bowen
Team Effort. Not just on Bruce's shoulders. When he shakes one, there better be another in his face. Cle will bring the energy. We have to match that and have lockdown perimeter defense.
Most importantly, protect home court. Don't give them any confidence early.

We may not have an answer for LeBron but the Cavs have no answer for Tim, Manu or Tony. Big problem.

Re: Believe in Bruce Bowen
Bruce Bowen and Co. will be able to figure out how to gaurd LeBron through seven games.
And incredible as it was, his 29/30 outburst only further proves that nobody else around him seems very willing to step up.
Re: Believe in Bruce Bowen
I think Bruce will only get double team help in the 4th quarters.
Re: Believe in Bruce Bowen
Bowen has his work cut out for him, but as stated here already, the Spurs team D will need to stay focused.
LeBron is a freak of nature. So strong. And he seems to be on a mission to prove he's the "heir apparent." It will take the team to keep him human.
I believe the Spurs experience on the big stage will be the undoing of the Cavs.
They're young and will be star struck even though LeBron eats up the spotlight.
They are the media darlings, the underdogs that will have the world rooting for them.
Stern must be smiling from ear to ear. He got his ratings.
It won't matter. The Spurs as always will tune it all out and stay focused. Once again Pop will out coach one of his underlings. Duncan will not be denied his 4th.
The better team always wins in a 7 game series.
Spurs in 6.
Re: Believe in Bruce Bowen
This is being played out as Bruce's biggest challenge of the decade, his assignment of taking on JLb.
Now, make a list of the marquee players Bruce Bowen has already sent packing.
Better sharpen your pencil and have plenty of paper.
