Bruce Bowen Fired By Clippers For Kawhi Comments

[dbestpro]

This is just not a good image for the NBA.

[spurs10]

Bruce was absolutely right and I’m glad he spoke out. Now if someone can replace the lost income. Another casualty of nephew.....I’m starting to not like that guy!

[heyheymymy]

Kawhi is such a little he's getting people fired on teams he doesn't even play for.

[coachmac87]

Bowen honestly wasn’t very good at TV...but him getting fired over Kawhi is ridiculous.

[hater]

Good firing tbqh

You cannot publicly bully a re who cannot defend himself on the public stage. There are laws that protect invalids and re s.

Good on you clips

Great defender mediocre analyst.

Does this mean that Bowen won’t have a selfie hung in the Forum rafters? Damn Clips

[TD 21]

I doubt Bowen's comments were out of loyalty or that his firing was a directive from Leonard's representative(s).

The former was probably more so what we've seen from myriad Spurs alumni: They are proud to have had a hand, however small, in building the vaunted "culture" and contributing to the success that made this the premiere organization in sports the past 2 decades. Naturally, they don't want anyone (least of all, someone who was late to the party and who the organization had a sizable role in developing) attempting to denigrate it.

The latter was probably more so due diligence. The Clippers, like any organization believed to have a chance to sign a superstar or star, is going to do everything in their power to make that happen. And let's be honest, Bowen is easily disposable not just in terms of role, but in the fact that he's been affiliated with them for one measly season.

Bowen's not a journalist. As an announcer, who's place would he take? Sean? Bill? Both those guys are awesome. I do agree that Jabari should gtfo. What a turd.

The word "Journalist" doesn't mean what it used to... I feel anyone could be a "journalist" these days. Yeah i wouldn't want him taking Bill or Sean's job, but seems we could squeeze him in somewhere.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Just another ripple from Kawhi's sensitivity.. What a schmuck he turned out to be.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Wow!

Give me man Bruce a job in the front office!

This makes me appreciate Bruce Bowen even more!

[exstatic]

Won’t SA need someone to take over Monaco’s pre game gig?

Post of the year. Truth

[tonski117]

I think Clippers will offer Bowen's spot for kawhi to relieve him of the pressure of becoming main man.

"Hip injuries are sometimes diagnosed as groin injuries and vice versa"

Brian Windhorst during an explanation on Kawhi's "misdiagnosis"

This is the kind of guy the corporate media wants and needs.

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

is there any evidence other than cir stantial that kawhi comments were the reason for bowen not being renewed

It was sourced in the article, bruh. Anonymous of course. But if you're arguing that the media could be making sh** up, well welcome to the club.

I like how he can't even hold his smile through three head nods. He's already going into vegetable-mode as soon as he can.

even with anonymous sources, woj doesnt make a causal link between bowens nonrenewal (not firing) and his kawhi comments. only that renewal was expected, then came kawhi comments, then the nonrenewal

hedgier than the english countryside

[Seventyniner]

Bowen goes down with the ship while defending the Spurs? Damn. Bring him home.

If only you-know-who had 1/10000th as much loyalty as Bowen.

Call him Number 2. It works on so many levels.

[SwansonInSibagat]

I wonder how prime Bowen would do defending Leonard?

[offset formation]

Funny the difference in the two best defensive Sf's Spurs have ever had. One is uber talented, but a wuss. One is far less talented, but bulldog tough on and off the court. Kawhi was better, but Bruce will always be Silver and Black to the core.

Well said.
