Bruce Bowen: Top 5 Defenders

[TheGreatYacht]

Bowen woulda stuffed Ray Allen's corner three into his skull, tbh. Loved watching their rivalry over the years. Allen always known as the cool cat in his career , just couldn't help but get agitated by Bruce though.

Oh yeah Only bad thing for Bruce this series would've been Crawford's kick out that he does when he shoots threes.

This looks pixelated as , but you could see how much of a gamer Bruce was

I always thought CP3 went for the sack for first with his right arm and Bruce retaliated in his own way, he really knew how to get into his opponent's mind. That's why his jersey is hanging proudly in the rafters.

Grittiest compe or since Oakley

[hater]

miss Bowen. and Spurs miss him

Makes Matt Barnes look like a re ed short bus rider IMO (no offense to the present)

he was one Forward not afraid of contact or confrontations

Allen is the kind of pussy that would call fouls in a pickup game and eventually get piasy and take his ball home midgame.

CP3 is similar except CP3 is a basketball genius.

Still Bowen would get under both skins the same way. Bumping and grinding for 48 minutes.

Jordan being #1 automatically makes this list highly suspect. Whiteside as #4? He's got to do it for more than 2 weeks to be considered a great defender.

I don't know about that. From the way Jordan had the Spurs players shaking in their boots and throwing up weak in the paint in Game 1 I would say he made his defensive presence felt.

[Skull-1]

Any chance he suits up for Game 2?

I wish

We could use him!

Mr. Potatohead is still my all-time favorite Spur.

Exactly.

Top 3 for me bruh He would've never let this happen

You going to suck his when he gets us another championship?

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Kawhi is the league's top defender. Bruce accidentally used his 2013 notes on Chandler.

Do you know something we don't? Please share.

[TheGreatYacht]

Bowen would've made that free throw in 6.

What makes people think someone with great talent in a certain area is qualified to judge great talent?

Mike pretty much shot that one right in the ass from the get-go.

Just what I said got.

You're implying that Bruce Bowen is going to play for us again? Watch out TSpence.

Damn right. He was part of the Big Four. It was always the Big Four. When he left we declined horribly. It took Leonard to bring us some defensive respect back, and he is still no Bowen as a defender.

Yeah Pop realized that when he saw that offense doesn't win championships from 2009-2011. I'm not sure PATFO saw Kawhi turning out so good, tbh.. They probably just needed a defensive first wing. It's always been the Big four

I think Bowen, in his prime, was a better defender than Kawhi is now. At least in terms of contesting the shot and making his opponent shoot a low shooting percentage. Kawhi is much better at playing the passing lanes, though, and unlike Bowen, he can score on the other end.

[dabom]

Kawhi is already better. Plus he rebounds and steals. That's still part of defense.

If we had bruce for the first game, we'd lose by more.

I agree that he generates turnovers better than Bruce. But in terms of challenging shots and holding players to low shooting percentages, Bruce is better so far. Seems like guys going against Kawhi can still score okay, but he is likely to get a steal or two against them. When we can plug him on a Clipper and he totally shuts that Clipper down, then you'll know he's near Bruce Bowen levels as far as challenging shots.

The salt is strong with this one

No KL, no 5. It's that simple.
