Finesse might be the wrong word.

But he's on the right track. Bowen is anything but physical.

Um, first Bruce is accused of being too physical (Vince, Ray, etc) and now he's not physical enough? LMAO.

Perhaps it's just that, no matter how good a guy's D is, if the other guy is having a hot shooting couple games, and playing for a new contract, nothing's going to stop him. Bonzi's due for an off game - I hope Game 6 will be it. And Bowen will keep at him till he wears him down. Bonzi also knows if he doesn't prove his worth, he's going to have a hard time getting anyone to sign him next year, since he's got a rep for being a head case.

They don't really accuse him of being physical, they accuse him of being dirty. Any any player, especially those china dolls who don't like any type of contact, that accuses Bowen of being physical is probably referencing how active Bruce is with his hands, legs and body. He is strong for his size but he's not very big. Players like Artest and Wells are very physical, like to body up and play in the post. The guys are built like linebackers. The sad truth is that they are more likely to wear down Bruce than he is to wear them down.

The best thing to hope for is that these guys come back down to earth. But I think the both of them smell blood and that's why they are playing out of their minds. They both have the strength and size to post Manu and Bruce and suddenly their outside shot is falling too. Pop can counter by putting bigger bodies on them but if their jumpers are on, they will shoot over them or drive around them.

Bibby has had his moments but it's been Artest and Wells that are keeping the Kings in this series. Best bet is to try to keep Bibby down and try to focus on shutting down either Artest or Wells and let the other go off. If the Kings have to go to a one man offense, it should disrupt them enough to give us a strong chance to take game six.
