    Finally, the Spurs have realized that Bowen's defense is not worth the liability on offense.

    Tonight's limited minutes against Kobe Bryant and the Lakers is proof positive that the Spurs will finally enjoy the benefits of more versatile players that do work on both ends of the floor.

    Yep, but we're still paying him like 4 million bucks for another season or two.

    An offense defense switch with Bowen and Mason down the stretch needs to be an option

    as much as I love Bowen, I don't think he's needed too much at this point, with Pop even going with Finley at times ahead of Bowen.

    Bowen is clearly resting for the playoffs, everybody should see that..

    Bowen's still a great defender though..I don't know how anybody can watch him and tell me he's no longer a great defender..

    he's going to be a beast in the playoffs though..he's gonna be covering players that just went through a long season with consistent minutes, while he's been getting limited minutes..

    Pop knows what he's doing, he's an evil genius..

    Agreed. Bowen is filling the Robert Horry role now. Rest during the regular season, be ready for the playoffs. Pretty similar roles, too: solid defense and maybe a big shot or two.

    Bowen is resting for the playoffs??? When has Bowen ever needed rest much less an entire season worth of it. It's not like he does anything on offense.

    Go away again, but stay there this time.

    he's 37..you want him to chase players like Kobe around all game for 82 games? that's just horrible strategy..we're good enough to get a high seed without him, we might as well save him for when it matters..

    Pop plays him just enough that he can stay in a rhythm for later on..

    Ghost Writer reappears in hopes of finally being able to put some dirt on Bowen's grave. Even if what he says is true, it came three championships too late . . .

    Not saying Kobe wouldn't have hit that three on Bowen instead of Mason, but he sure as wouldn't have had even half the space Roger gave him to put that one up.
