Miller DNP/CD in the 1st game and played the least minutes of any US player in the 2nd game. He was definitely the last player on Coach K's bubble.
After the Puerto Rico game Bruce was never given another chance and I don't know why? Especially with all the hype he got coming out of camp.

I am not disagreeing that they might have used Bowen, but the Olympic team doesn't have anything to do with it. At least four or five of these guys won't be on the Olympic team with Kobe, Stoudemire, Marion, etc available.
Colangelo is still Chairman and CEO of the Suns thru 2007 and then he will still be Chairman after that until 2012.
Just goes to show that Coach K and Colangelo still don't have a freakin' clue. How many dunks is Dwight Howard going to get against a packed in 2-3 zone?
bruce was robbed. over brad miller???? come on now.
brad miller is on the team and he doesnt dunk, whats your point?
Team USA is really missing Bowen so far aren't they?
Well, if the likes of ARgentina and Spain can go for 30 more than their average against Team USA, yes, Team USA will be missing Bowen a of a lot.Team USA is really missing Bowen so far aren't they?
We'll see. IMO, Team USA is going to win this thing in a walk.
I can see you're as much in denial for team USA as for the suck ass blazers
I understand people are upset that Bowen got the boot but lets not get dumb. He is probably my favorite Spur and even I don’t think he would have been the difference maker for Team USA. People forget that Team USA does have a couple all-defensive team members on the roster. When you have a balanced team with that much talent it’s really hard for one player to have that much of an impact.
I can see you haven't been watching Team USA in the WC's.
ha! ha!When Bowen stepped on the floor for the first exhibition game against Puerto Rico, he assumed he'd be guarding Carlos Arroyo, the team's top scorer. U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski, however, told him to take someone else.
that is why I was asking myself "what if Bruce made the team?", while the U.S. team struggled against Arroyo on their first WC game. Arroy was awesome and there was nobody who could stop him from the perimeter and doing what he wanted.
That 1st 3 qtrs was quite scary for the U.S. to lose their very 1st World game.
If they play well, team USA should win this thing, but there is not one player on the current team anywhere near the perimeter defender that bowen is. If Kobe were playing (and trying on defense), then he would be the closest on the expanded roster to Bowen defensively.
In a tight game against a legit opponent, guys like Battier won't be taking the shots, so we can forget about how "balanced" he is right there. Lebron and Melo will be carrying the team offensively, whose going to stop the guys on the other end of the floor, especially when we are playing perimeter defenders better than guys like Arroyo.
I firmly believe the US will win this thing, but you do realize that games against PR and CHN don't necessarily translate to what we will do against ESP and ARG? , if the Brazil game hadn't been an exhibition, we could have stopped the talk of this being a 'walk' right there.
I believe Team USA will win all of its games by at least 6 points.
6 -SIX- points?
A firm belief that indeed suggests the obvious:
send home the only guy that can seriously stop Manu, when he's hot.
