That's a crazy post count
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.
idk pop said he was saving him for the playoffs
a Ghost Writer sighting?
how you doing on that "tank 08-09" theory?

An offense defense switch with Bowen and Mason down the stretch needs to be an option
I have a feeling bowen will see his minutes in the PO
He'll still be needed come playoff time.
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 isn't going anywhere...when needed he'll be called upon and he will produce.
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..
Bown better get ready and take an assistant coach job isnt that what sam cassel does...hehe
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.
Pop is saving Bowen for the playoffs. Plain and simple.
Gotta save a big gun for later cant use it now.
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 . . .
He'll be starting in the Playoffs.
Bump this thread in May.
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.
