bowen is going to be needed in the playoffs! i guess we will learn the hard way..
Even I begin to tire of this...although there are those who will continue to predict the downfall of the spurs because they don't have an antique Bowen in the deep freezer...

did Bowen bang Pop's daugher or something? damn.
No, why can't people here except that's his career is over (at least here).
I'd sit Bruce. I'm afraid when RJ get in foul trouble.
Finley and Mason are terrible on D. I'd like Bruce to help RJ do the dirty work
So what happened to starting off the season out of shape?Duncan, according to Popovich, is in the best shape of his career and eager to win a fifth ring.
What inside info from Yahoo!? Some people say there was no real inside info from the now current Yahoo! writers and that it was all a puppet act with the Spurs FO as the puppet master
And there are people who still defend McDonald...
- Good to know Timmy is in shape.
- Finley should be in Bruce's place right now and I dont think we're completely done with Bowen.
- Let's get number 5.
Anyone really surprised here?
Unless there are major injuries with the Spurs. Bowen will not be a part of the team, nor any team for that manner.
99% Retired from basketball. I'm sure his name will float around later in the season, but just don't see it happening.
Well damn I just posted the article to let the fans know bowen for sure isnt coming back, im sure there was still some people who thought he would come back.
The reaction is because:
1. This is the third thread today based on the Boston Globe article.
2. Your post and the thread le state that Bowen 'for sure isn't coming back". Pop's quote says "probably not".
Just an FYI about RealGM. Their wiretap stuff is a piece of an article from another source, in this case the Boston Globe. If you follow the 'via Boston Globe' link it will bring up the original piece. You can then see the headline and tell if it's already been posted here. Sometimes their headline is looking for attention, like 'Popovich: Bowen won't return to Spurs' when the original headline is less inflammatory 'Spurred into action'.
Time to move on then.
He didn't say he was. I guess Pop won't be meeting that goal.
“My goal,” Popovich said, “is for him to start the season out of shape.”
I guess this is the thread that I didnt see before I posted the other Bowen thread..
That was what I was sayingHe didn't say he was. I guess Pop won't be meeting that goal.
Tim, get out of shape..."No, in fact, I will get in the best shape of my life".
I bet you it was the Wii Fit.
228, help me out...Duncan, according to Popovich, is in the best shape of his career and eager to win a fifth ring.
Would this be the third or second straight year Pop's made that statement in referrence to Tim?
And, yeah, Pop wants Timmy out of game-shape entering camp, little to no road work, but Timmy's still got to hit the gym and watch the diet; which Tim's really made a priority of in his last couple of years.
It's at least the second. He said it last year after Duncan's tractor tire throwing came out in the press. And he said it the beginning of the '07-'08 season, going into the attempt at a repeat.
He may have also said it at the beginning of the '06-'07 season, after the plantar fasciitis in '05-'06.
Yeah, I know he said it last year and I'm pretty sure he did it the year before as well; Pop almost raved about his body in a way that some would assume only be reserved for Finley.It's at least the second.

Bruce Bowen is IMHO almost as important to the Spurs as Parker, Ginobili, and Duncan are.
Spur fans really don't understand how much of a luxury it is to have a guy on their team that can literally take out the opposing team's best player and frustrate him all night.
It would be interesting to see ur take on Bowen if he signs with the Spurs in a months time. I can garuantee it wont be the same as it is now.
I'm sorry if I'm clueless. What shouting match?
the argument should be:
a superior perimeter defender is almost as important to the Spurs as Parker, Ginobili and Duncan are.
Spurs AND other team's fans need to learn that Bruce no longer is that player. it was impressive enough, that he was able to keep his all defense first team level of play till 36, which is 2 or 3 years longer than most comparable players were able to achieve.
I also don't accept the always repeated argument: let's keep him on the bench and just use for some special moments. that's nonsense and doesn't work. the game is played by a rotation, usually 10 deep in the RS and 8 deep in the PO. stockpiling veteran "specialists" for few minutes doesn't make a team as much deeper and better as some think.
I hope Bruce retires and in the best case he comes back as part of the coaching staff.
