Yes, but Bruce is the only one that makes headines for being dirty year after year. The NBA has to look at it.
Please. Evans got fined $10k for giving Kaman a reach around last year. The intent was flagrant and obvious. No suspension. How can you possibly think this warrants a suspension?

Good. Foul fest. I bet Kurt Thomas won't last the first half. No way he'll be stopping Duncan without holding him.
It is not just one time. It is a series of complaints from coaches and players.
Bruce had the ball in his hand......HOW about the intent being he was the offensive player trying to put the ball down or something?
Dude, Bowen doesn't play Spurs score 20 more points. WTF?

Phoenix led the league in FT % with 81% shooting. What are you smoking?
I think he will get a fine of $25K
I never really paid that much attention to him before this series. But he sure the is. His press conf. Sat. nite was hilarious.
When he crumbled up that piece of paper and threw it, I thought "Ooooooo...the Spurs have done it now. We're in trouble."
Jim, it was already posted in the other Bowen thread that it was reported on Sporting News Radio late last night that he will "probably" be suspended. But thanks for starting a new thread about it
I don't know if these people reporting it have sources or not. I would think someone like Marc Stein would know before Mike and Mike (who I can't stand) but who knows.
Kori, how soon will we know? If it's a suspension would they wait much longer?
LMAO at this thread? why in the would they suspend Bowen? they need to give a reason you know?
Everybody calm down. Bowen will NOT get suspended. why would he?
not worthy of a fine or a suspension IMO. this league is getting super soft just when i thought it couldn't get any softer.
I don't know. I would think that they would have decided by last night, but who knows.
Is Manu gonna be suspended for making a contact with Marion?
It will ba a big loss for trhe spurs if Bowen's out, all in all he is who he is
We have to start barry then with Fin out there I suppose
FREE JAMES WHITE!
Just kidding.
The knee was completely incidental....a standard clear-out move. He wasn't even looking at Nash, more looking over him for the entry pass to Duncan in the post.
The sole reason the league is looking into this is cries by the Phoenix Suns and overhyping media to question Bowen's "tactics". It's all crap!
Why would Bowen be suspended? Did I miss something?
a suspension would be complete BS.
It's almost 10 hours and 30 minutes before game time... any announcement of the suspension should have been said hours ago.
Unbeleivable, it is true. League is full of !!!
how can they listen to these crybaby suns

League looking into Bowen's actions in Game 3By Marc Stein
ESPN.com
For the first time in an increasingly contentious San Antonio Spurs-Phoenix Suns series, Bruce Bowen is officially under the league's microscope.
Bowen
An NBA spokesman confirmed Sunday night that Bowen's third-quarter knee to the groin of Suns guard Steve Nash in Saturday's Game 3 is under review for possible punishment.
Nash declined after Saturday's game and again Sunday to voice any public displeasure with Bowen's physical play. But the league decided anyway to conduct a full investigation into this incident after declining to do so when Bowen was accused of intentionally kicking Amare Stoudemire in Game 2.
Stoudemire called Bowen and Manu Ginobili "dirty" players after the Game 2 tangle, in which Bowen admitted he "did clip" Stoudemire from behind on a dunk.
If the league decides to fine or suspend Bowen, that announcement would come before Monday night's Game 4.
I loved his weak "oh really" sarcastic comment he made to the reporter who mentioned the physicality of the series. Hilarious! He needs to get his crying ass back to Europe yesterday.
If Bowen gets suspended, Steve Nash will have executed the Greatest Flop in the History of Basketball. I thought the CONTACT was questionable, to say nothing of intent.
This would be some steaming bull .
If they didn't announce it by 10 AM EST, there's no way they can do it now. I'd imagine they would have told the organization about it last night some time.
Why are you quoting me, you just proved my point. they shot 81%, just like I said?
Uhm, I thought your article has news that Bowen was already suspended...Unbeleivable, it is true. League is full of !!!
