If the league looks, they'll see Bowen NOT kicking Paul. And Paul hitting Bowen twice in the balls.
I don't think Bowen will get suspended.
i was watching the local san antonio news and Don Harris reported that the league is looking into the scuffle between Chris Paul and Bruce Bowen and will determine wether there needs to be any suspensions between the two players.
Bowen kicked Paul, and Paul gave a low blow to Bruce....
man and Udoka is injured too.....no Bowen or Udoka this friday.... looks like it folks....

Well I looked and saw Bowen Kick and even if he didn't connect it's still an attempt. Last time I heard even an attempted punch or a swing of an elbow brings penalties. Suspend them both for all I care...if this was Kobe he would have received a minimum of 2 games already.
It would be somewhat ironic to see his consecutive games streak snapped at exactly 500 games because of a suspension.
You've got to think that Bowen won't get suspended. He'll get fined and continue to "get into people's heads" with his knees,fingernails,elbows etc...
I agree. This reminds me of when Kobe got suspended for three games for throwing that elbow at Kyle Korver.
Wait, he got away with that one.
Nevermind.
If this happens, I will have an official bounty out for Jeff McDonald's head.
Jinxy mother er.
Pass the Kleenex. I think I'm going to cry.
God butch up...
Yes, suspend them both. NOLA and San Antonio shorthanded for a game or two would be great.
When Bowen wants to kick someone, they're kicked.
biggest whining post.....if it was kobe blah blah blah
Bowen's balls are so big that Paul couldn't hit them both with one shot.
CP3 pulled a Jason Terry? I thought he was the choir boy of the NBA?
Damn those Demon Deacon alums!
If they only suspend Bruce, I'll whine, but if they look closely enough to see that both of them were wrong there isn't much to whine about.
where did paul go for the jewels?
Neither deserves it IMO but if you suspend one, you have to suspend both.
Oh, man, that would be so unfair, for the league to suspend the guy.
It would be like Christmas is the NBA suspended both of them for 1 game. Spurs lose to DET, we roll over NOH without Paul.
Kobe won't be suspended for any games. He is the darling of the NBA and has a free pass. I'm surprised none of you knew this. Now, a Spurs player, they are fair game.
suns fans still and moan. you guys need to get a ing life.

League reviewing Bowen-Paul play
By Johnny Ludden
Bruce Bowen’s feet once again have caught the attention of the NBA office, a league official said Thursday.
The league is reviewing an incident between the San Antonio Spurs forward and New Orleans Hornets point guard Chris Paul that occurred midway through the third quarter of the Hornets’ 100-75 victory on Wednesday.
After Paul lost control of his dribble and went to the floor to corral the ball, Bowen reached down to tie him up and his legs became entangled with Paul. Video replays showed Bowen trying to initially fling Paul off him, then he appeared to catch him again with his right foot as Paul tried to sit up.
Paul was whistled for a foul, but protested that Bowen had kicked him.
The league official said Paul’s actions also were being examined – he flung his arms up at Bowen – during the review of the play. An official from the NBA’s security office also has put in a call to Bowen to discuss the play – standard protocol for such incidents.
Opponents have complained on several occasions about Bowen’s aggressive defense, in particular the use of his feet. New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas told his players last season to “break (Bowen’s) foot” when Steve Francis rolled his ankle in a previous game after landing on Bowen following a jump shot. NBA executive vice president of basketball operations Stu Jackson warned Bowen about giving shooters proper landing space but did not fine him.
Bowen, who made his 500th consecutive start for the Spurs on Wednesday, has never been suspended by the league. He was fined $10,000 two seasons ago for kicking then-Seattle SuperSonics guard Ray Allen in the back.
During last season’s playoffs, Phoenix Suns forward Amare Stoudemire accused Bowen of trying to kick him in the back of the leg. Bowen received a flagrant foul in a later game for kneeing Suns point guard Steve Nash in the groin while trying to clear space.
I don't like how every time something happens, they always talk about what other whiners in the NBA say about Bruce...like Amare.
Also why doesn't it say that Paul kicked Bruce twice in the balls...It just says that "he flung his arms up at Bowen"...

Just post that video Kori, and then:

Worst case would be for them to suspend or fine CP3, but I don't know that you could say his actions were intentional, Bruce did nothing and CP3 will become an Academy Award winning actor once he retires.

Well because he has a dirty history.
