well aren't you special
Gotta Love Bowen indirectly calling out Roger Mason on twitter:
"NBA Trade Dead Line coming up, Players playing Good Cop, agents playing Bad Cop. What happened to RESPONSIBILTY! Players Come On!!!"
-on Feb 16th
Then today:
"Wondering how guys feel that tried to leverage trades, but the trades never happened? Wonder what kind of PT they'll receive now."

"I'm not talking about Roger"

Yeah . . . Right.
Bowen comes on every week on the morning radio show from 7-9 on 760
Talks about the Spurs glowingly and still caresa whole crap load.
I still don't see how Mason and Pop weren't on the same page regarding a trade. Pop doesn't want to play Mason and Mason doesn't want to play for pop. They should have got something for him. Even the agent was trying to make it happen.
This team is full of dead men walking. What a waste in not getting something for them.
Ain't that a ... the only guy that got moved is one of the very few that can block shots. The other guy Haislip was the only guy that could jump out the gym..
Yet he couldn't jump back into the NBA.
Pop doesn't play anybody who's more athletic than he is.
It's just not good when you hope to get Oberto back in a trade in order to bolster your front line.
does roger really think his going toget paid more than what his currently on? cmon now his justa spotup shooter that looked good in our system 2seasons ago, now his just a s of his former self
So Bogans is a better player worthy of more playing time?
Well for starters he's cheaper, tougher, doesn't whine and sulk, plays much better defense and shoots the 3 at a comparable rate. What's your point?
Bogans is cheap. You got that one right.
Just don't forget that Bogans has had the luxury of having regular minutes and a defined set starting role for most of the year, where Roger's role and minutes have been inconsistent. I would be willing to bet if Pop would have stuck him in the starting lineup instead of Bogans and given him consistent minutes his 3pt% would be at or near last year's mark, and maybe even better.
And quite frankly I don't think Bogan's defense has been better than Rogers' this year. He's a good tough defender against physical players, I'll give him that, but he sucks against the finesse/long types, whereas Roger excels.
All in all, they both have their positives and negatives but the offense flows much smoother when Mason in on the court, and the difference in defense is negligible.
Yea, at least not from the Spurs, something tells me he would have gotten more PT and be developing if he had went to another NBA team... any NBA team.
Lying ass...![]()

Roger deserved it. He really overvalues himself too much. He's a role player and he has been inconsistent this year. The excuses of "Well, he's not getting a lot of time" is such bull . He's supposed to be a professional.
Playing in the NBA doesn't guarantee every player loads of time so they can get a rhythm. They either hit it or they don't. RM seems to think he would get a lot of time playing somewhere else. Yeah, where else would he get the time he got last year on our team? Please...
He's the only one with balls to stand up to Pop.
take a side es
Agree to disagree then, fair enough, however, you'd be hard pressed to find many people supporting the views that :
1. Bogan's defense hasn't been better than Rogers' this year
2. Roger excels defensively against the finesse/long types
Agreed. Mason's no fool. He knows the potential of this team, but Pop's crappy lineups and constantly changing rotations have killed any shot at developing some sort of consistency. Thinking that it was bull (which the majority of Spurstalk posters seem to agree with), he said " it" and made his feelings known. Wish more of the players would adopt this mentality...maybe then we wouldn't be stuck with Bogans and Bonner STARTING.![]()
