Bruce Bowen is my favorite player.

You first.

Here it goes:

I believe Bruce Bowen is not a hack. Here are my reasons, you may or may not agree with them:

1) He has made the all defensive team in a number of ocassions. This means that people who know what they are talking about have voted for him repeatedly (not some angry fan whose team has been owned by the Spurs, throughing the "He is a dirty player" card out of desperation and hopelessness). And believe me, after playing the Spurs, there are a lot of desperate fans who lose their hope (ask Denver fans, if you don't believe me)

2) Look at the kind of players that have complained about Bruce. VC, the epiphany of a pussy. Ray Allen, who takes the word "Pussy" to the next level. Pussy players complaining about Bruce's style of play does not help your cause, it helps mine.

3) From what I understand, he is one of the hardest working players in the NBA. Look at how some aspects of his game have become so much more reliable. His three point shot has become one of the best in the league. Moreover, this year he has polished his mid-range jumper. The way he finishes his layups still want to make me puke (he hardly ever dunks), but his game has gotten better every year. Hacks are not hard workers.

4) You are calling out Bruce Bowen for what exactly? For yesterday's play against Allen? Well, that would be a big joke because anybody with normal eyesight who was watching the game cannot blame BB for what happened to fragile Allen. Only people blaming him are (i) vagina himself, (ii) an idiot reporter who's quote is on some other thread in the forum, and (iii) some idiot LG.net-posting Laker fans.

There some substance. You may reply at your leisure.

Kori personally knows tlong as do I, and he is just messing with you guys because his beloved Blazers suck s lately and he is trying to entertain himself at your expence....just ignore him and and it will drive him crazy.

Some time ago I said tlong was a troll, but the longtimers said "No!, he is a respected poster."

I fail to see it, but I will still trust the people who have known him longer than I have.

Prove me wrong, tlong, post something of substance.

Jim, read the bold part of my post. I trust you.

In any case, it's true that I don't post much of substance so I thougt I could try to grant tlong his wish and I gave it a shot.
