We're Gonna Miss Bruce Bowen

[SA210]

Duncan's D is ALWAYS elevated by Bowen, just like how Bowen's D is elevated by Duncan..

Timmy didn't look as dominant on D in game 1, because he had to come out and contest Dallas' perimeter players every time, leaving his man open..

Bowen doesn't allow his man to get past him like that, and when he does, he doesn't give him a good angle to the basket..Duncan and Bowen have perfect chemistry, their 2-man defensive game is unbelievable..

Bowen raped that smurf JJ Barea

Raped that little midget, lets hope they keep it up and Barea still thinks he is CP3 out there and shooting like there is no tomorrow, that ensures a Mavs loss.

we're gonna miss you when you're gone..

We'll miss Bruce big time. Hopefully Pop has just been limiting Bowen's minutes during the regular season this year since he's fairly old, and seeing who else can defend. If tonight is any indication, Bruce's playing time is going back towards normal "now that it matters."

It's the opposite of Hill, who was allowed to play until it mattered.

I already miss Bruce and he's not even gone yet. Having sat so much this year, I can already picture how tough it's going to be for the Spurs to get stops without a player of his ilk.
