Bowen will not be mishandlled.
yeah, there was no contact to the balls. Steve Nash flopped, maybe Bowen made contact with his tigh.
This suspension would be the most ridiculous suspension in NBA history. I don't even know what to say...

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.
No problem. I am here for you and your forum, and will help any way that I can.
BTW, I used to hate Mike and Mike, but now I love their show. They are so different from each other, but they work.
Me too....I was pissed off while reading it, then confused.

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 like the show... I especially like Golic... Greeny just comes off as being so lame sometimes, it gets on my nerves.... Just like with this Bowen situation, I didn't hear it, but I'm sure he was promoting it as being a dirty play worthy of suspension.
Heyyyy GOLIC!
nnnYES Greenie?
Did you know I'm an enormous ?
Me too!!
Is there any video of this 'attack'?
The only player I saw with a visible injury from game 3 was Manu.
I can hear 'em saying it
Other than Nash's voice going up a few octaves, there is no evidence of the knee doing any harm.
Umm.. I know Marc Stein reported they are looking into the incident. I am saying that I thought he would have a source saying that Bowen was getting suspended before guys like Mike and Mike would.
If Bruce is suspended (which I doubt), I bet Manu will start and pick up the slack. He's due for a mind boggling performance.
([I]Players swing elbows all the time to create space. If they make contact, it's a foul.
Did anyone else see the elbow Boozer gave Davis on the face... overlooked cause there was a foul called on someone else at that time.. it was so obvious..
Last year, when Bowen was being scrutanized by the league.. on non Spurs games, 2 or 3 more players had twisted/fell on somebody else's foot that same week... nothing was said about those players.. i think one of them was Shaq...
Well that Stein article was yesterday and this was reported this morning, so I assumed that Stern is waiting to offically annouince it until he lets Pop know about it befiore the announcement is official, because Pop deserves Stern's respect.
Game 3, post-eye gouging wasn't too bad of a performance imo
Had me out of my seat
I stopped listening to Mike & Mike after that stupid rant about one of the dude's "man crush" on Brady Quinn. They even had the guy's wife call in verifying it. That was so tired and lame.
Well last night (shortly after the Marc Stein's article) they were already saying on Sporting News that they had a source saying Bowen was probably getting suspended.
So I'm not sure if these people have sources or they are just speculating.
Anyone remember Karl Malones' elbow that knocked DRob out, while he was creating space? Malone was not suspended, nor was there even a foul called, if I remember correctly...in fact, I think DRob was the one who was called for the foul.....now that is the worst call in history, IMO.
i saw the elbow davis gave to fisher, terrible and ed up, especially because they're supposed to be friends.
If it was Greeny that said it.... My money's on him having read the article you're refering to, or like you say, just pure speculation.
Oh you mean the same reason you people are saying it was Nash's fault for getting kneed... "He was in the shooters space".
So if everytime Bowen gets in a Suns "space" we get a free shot to his nuts. Good logic, go make me a pie.
that's back when NBA was a league of MEN. not sissies
yes, the foul was called on D-Rob...Malone's elbows deserve to be cut off, he's such a prick...although, that D-Rob incident was nothing compared to his college days when Malone served up career-ending elbow facials
I agree he was great, but you and I both know he can be a lot greater.
Back then the NBA wasn't terrified of a ratings fall if the Jazz made it to the Finals to face Jordan and the Bulls. They are flat terrified of the Spurs making it that far. Speculation, speculation, speculation....
