The Official Bruce Bowen Exposé

id make ray allen work more on the offensive end and wear him out.

Switch off and have Ginobili be guarded by him, that will wear him out.


Robinson and Brown have to get more run I agree.

The Spurs cannot bench Bowen and this is why. Bruce is the best perimeter defender not only for the Spurs but in the entire league. His defense agressiveness will rub off on the other Spurs players so he is a very big key to the Spurs team. Now I do notice that Bruce Bowen's offensive side hasn't been doing so well but it's because he has been very hesistant and I don't know why. He has passed up several open corner 3 pointers and will instead pump fake and drive baseline only to miss the running jumper.

Bowen needs to let that corner 3 pointer fly and he will hit. If he starts hitting the corner 3's then the Spurs will win because then Tim Duncan will post up on Bruce's side and if Tim Duncan gets doubleteamed well their is Bruce waiting on the corner and Tony or Manu up on the key. If Bruce hits early then the Spurs chances of winning the game is so much higher.

He looks scared to shoot them. He just needs to fire...don't put it on the floor.

I miss Ghost

Don't worry, he'll be back. He's just busy getting ready to get married.

I must admit that I too am not a Bruce Bowen fan. I would limit his minutes depending on the situation. I believe you lose MORE offensively with him in the game than you do defensively with him out, especially as a series goes on. When the lane closes down and TP or Manu give the ball up it to Bruce in the corner (happens a lot) thepossession seems to rarely end in a score. I would much rather see Beno, Barry, Big Dog...catching that ball in the corner.

Bruce Bowen is a no talent hack. Now that Allen is getting comfortable with Bowen's butcher-like style he is totally useless in this series.

Ridiculous post.

Without Bowen the Spurs would be like a young virgin without her chas y belt and thrown into a male penitentiary. Well, maybe not that bad, but we'd be ed
