He was actually subbed in just right before that possession. Maybe Pop thought the Spurs were on defense and mixed up the subs.That's the only thing that explains pulling out Barry for Bowen right then.
Maggette sure would have help the ailing offense and rebounding on Friday night versus the Magic. I would have much rather him have the ball in his hands during the late stages of a game rather than Bowen. That's all I could think of while watching Bowen saunter to the FT line and clang those two FTs.
Still don't know why Bowen was in the game at that point.

That's bull !
There's no one on this roster, outside of Manu, that can do the things offensively that Maggette can do. And Manu is nowhere near the physical rebounding phenom that Maggette is. THat's the problem.
The guys we have on this team act as though they're afraid to "mix it up". I see more of them tapping the ball back out to half court rather than going up strong and securing it.
I didn't even realize Jason Kapono, yes, that JASON KAPONO, had 11 rebounds today until I saw your sig.
Gosh, that makes me want to get a beer this late in the night.
I'm not saying Maggerre is not a good player. I'm just saying the Spurs have gotten into a hole of picking up 2-3 players because they are available, now we're stacked with them and have no depth at center or point. before we exchange gaurd forwards lets address the problem. Now that being said if we get a good deal and pick up maggette I would be welcoming him with open arms. but leave some trade bait for what we need.
I hear you on Jason Kapono. That still irks the out of me.
remember Amare Stoudamire had a career high 23 rebs against the Spurs. Can you imagine how much damage Carlos Boozer would have done had he played? As it stands, Mehmet Okur went for his usual double-double against the Spurs.
The Spurs have somehow become the perfect antidote for struggling players to get their "swagger" back. Somehow opposing players seems to easily generate a "career game" versus our boys.
The problem is they're stacked with the WRONG type of players. Old players (Finley and Barry) who are both long-in-the-tooth and generally have the same physical and mental weaknesses.
I just don't feel good with our 2 and 3 positions stacked and vaughn, horry and oberto being the rest of our bench. Assuming Clippers want Beno.
