Pop/bowen Appreciation Thread

bowen did a great job on bibby the whole game. i couldn't tell if the spurs were willing to let kevin martin get his and live with the results, that's the way it seemed. or it was just awful defense.

Tony Parker did a better than average job on Bibby also. He played through the screens well and really played Mike tight on the perimeter.

Rasho's defense on the pick and roll helped, too.

The only thing that I ever cuss Pop for is his sticking with NVE over Beno when NVE totally blows, and has no business being in the rotation in close games.

Possibly because Pop realized that he will play NVE in the play over Beno, and yanking him out whenever he is not playing poorly will make him look over his shoulder when he is playing. Just a guess.
BTW, I feel sad about some of the "fans" who kept bringing the same incorrect points over and over to bash Pop just to get a reaction.

The only thing I remember is that as he turned back down the court, Horry almost inadvertantly elbowed Manu, and Manu began flailing wildly. Then he realized it was Horry. They touched hands as if to say, 'Never mind. We cool."

I remember it being Manu who hit Horry. He pumped his fist as he was turning around and almost caught Horry in the chin. He then started up court and they did the hand thing.
