Concerned with the SF position...

Argentina should build a statue of Bruce Bowen in the middle of the town square in Buenos Aires because without Bowen, Manu would have to actually defend other shooting guards.

And Manu's status as a basketball God wouldn't be as golden.

You sure you're not thinking of Barry.

First time I've seen anyone portraying Manu as a near hapless defender.

Like I said in this thread, Manu is a very good help defender. As a one-on-one primary perimeter defender he isn't that good. Better than Barry and Finley of course, but not as good of a defender as he's made out to be in the Spurs' current system.

Night in and night out, Manu is put on the other team's worst perimeter player. In that role, he's very good because he can roam and cause havoc.

But a lot of Spurs fans see Manu's defense on par with Bowen's defense ... when in reality, Bowen is still a much, much better defender.

I don't think he called him hapless. He called him a great help defender. And an average (or slightly less than average) primary defender if he's on the elite players.

[picnroll]

I'd say he's an above average, not elite, on man defender for his position.

[remingtonbo2001]

Manu is an outstanding help defender. Bowen is a great lock-down defender, or one-on-one, however you want to put it. You guys must be bored. I'm just curious when the "let's trade Bowen threads" start popping up.

Yeah I have to admit Bowen played his best defensive game of the year but 1 out of 46 games is not cutting it! He doesnt want to shoot from corner anymore he tries to drive and screws that up he has clearly lost 1 or 2 steps, It happens players get old quit riding his jock already! do you know him personally or something that you dont want to hurt his feelings?

Thank You Mensa!

You want Finley and Barry guarding Kobe?

[redskinfan]

why not? they might make Kobe or whoever have to play a little D.

[ChumpDumper]

why not? they might make Kobe or whoever have to play a little D.

Kobe won't have to play any D when he drops 82 points on us.

[redskinfan]

Kobe won't have to play any D when he drops 82 points on us.

as long as we get 83 cause no one else will get any points besides him

[cheguevara]

PPL still ing about Bowen???

Can't you realize we have no chance in in the playoffs without Bowen playing 25+ minutes???????

He's shot 117 times from corner 3's this year - on pace for nearly the same amount of times as last season (228). And he has hit 45% on his corner threes.

He actually doesn't shoot that often from 2 compared to in the past few years.

But don't let the facts confuse you.

[mardigan]

Apperently no, I dont even know if these people are genuianly Spur fans, Redskin fan I dont think has ever watched a basketball game if he thinks Barry and Finley are better options to guard Kobe than Bowen

[redskinfan]

Dude or Vato we got no chance now he is clearly past his time plus coming off bench he can still maybe give us a little "D" in very limited minutes

[mardigan]

No, you just obviously dont know what you are talking about

Thanks for the stats I was wondering what was taking you so long.

ok redskin or american indian. Bowen still is the best perimeter defender in the league as of today + he shoots close to 40% from 3. u go ahead and ask for hiim to sit, and see if Pop listens to you

[Kori Ellis]

So you just spout out nonsense to be proven wrong?



I thought you hated this forum and had retired or something.
