If the spurs had bowen that means Green wont be playing...that also means the spurs is a lesser team.
We would be favorites over the dubs...

Green this year is probably slightly worse than prime Bowen. Overall Green has a higher ceiling and isn't much worse.
I love Bruce, but he's even more offensively limited than Green. Their defense is about equal. Danny is better against SGs and PGs, while Bruce was better against SFs.
The only reason Id want him on the team over Green is if he promises me that hed break currys ankle tbh
If we had Bowen people on here would want to play Simmons over him.
Having Bowen to step under Curry so he lands on his foot in a playoff game would be clutch. It would probably ensure us a championship.
I mean, Bowen on Draymond, Kawhi on Klay and Danny on Steph sounds awfully good.
Kawhi on Draymond. Green on Klay. Bowen on Steph
You could have Bruce Bowen, but dude's 44 at this point and hasn't played in the league in like 7 years. [/literal]
The goal is to beat the Warriors, not break Bowen's spirit when Steph drops 50 on him.
Real-talk, I actually thought he was older than that. But I guess it really hasn't been THAT long in the grand scheme of things.
I was more surprised to see that it has been 7 years than I was to find out he was only in his mid-40's, tbh imho.
2008 was the first year I became a serious basketball fan. I watched all the playoff games and stuff before that, but I couldn't tell you more than five or six guys on the roster back then. So in my mind, Bruce has been gone forever. Like, my memories of David Robinson are about as fresh as those about Bowen.
Why not call up the centerpiece? Isn't he fresher?
Udoka is probably in shape too, and he definitely knows the system.
Curry will land on Bowens foot.
Spurs in 5
Man that is true but remember him rotating on to Billups in 05 was a huge key in games 5-7. He also would D Nash in the Suns series they played and frustrate him. He also D'ed Kobe pretty well in 03 run. He could guard 1/2 Gs very well.
People are forgeting how damn good Bowen was as a defender. I love Green but he isn't a better defender than Bowen was.
Again, I just don't think people have adjusted to the increase in quality for defense. Bowen did not have the same expectations for what his D was supposed to accomplish. Bruce was supposed to "make things difficult" for his guys. Kawhi, Green and Tiago when he was in SA straight shut their guys down. Bruce has a similar series against Kobe in 2003, but what Wing Stop did in 2014 to OKC would be better than any other performance that Bruce ever had statistically.
Lopping Nash and Dirk into discussions of Bowen's greatness just underscores that. He did an admirable job and had some memorable plays to be sure. But he was overmatched, which isn't a reason to detract from him.
When you said you've only started truly following basketball since 08' you can't really speak on Bowen.
I'd rather have Prime Tim and SuperManu, as long as we are pipe dreaming here.
And Michael Jordan.
I can speak to his playoff series. And unlike most people, I have copies of almost all the games I reference, so I'm usually not going off some decade-old memory that laced with nostalgia.
But Green makes $10 Million a year Bruce never made more than $4.125 in any year of his career. That should tell you all you need to know.
Lmao oh you're never going to let down the contract statement huh?
Bottom line is Bowen made All-NBA Defensive teams..and Danny is fortunate to be a defensive side kick to Kawhi.
Those awards didn't translate into a bigger contract, did they?
