Bowen continues to intimidate and come up with the clutch defensive plays…Way to keep your cool Terry…
Why not? depends what they get back. You don't think they can win without them?
Where were you when manu was not with the spurs?
I like these Args that show up as spur fans only because Manu is on the team. If manu gets traded you won't be here anymore.
Bowen had a nice game antagonizing the Mavs, but what I was most impressed with was his ability to move off the baseline and hit the midrange jumper.
Be that as it may, he did a great job hitting his open shots and bending the rules last night. He even made a free throw!
He made a championship clinching block back in '05 too, among other feats.
You remember the block. I remember this:

Some of these stats have to be typos.
Under 6 points, 3 rebounds and 1 steal a game?
And you guys love this guy?
Sure. Those stats also show one of the better 3 point shooters in the game. Of course, he's the best perimeter defender in the game and allows the Spurs to defend top perimeter scorers one on one, which is essential for their defense these days.
Ron Artest can do what Bowen does. In one quarter.
One of the best 3 shooters? I guess if you average under 6 PPG, that's quite a feat!
Bowen also allows one player to cheat on double teams on defense.
He pretty much sucks, but is cheap and gets away with murder.
he's great in that NBA Cares spot, though.
On 142 attempts.
Not really since he can drop the 3.Bowen also allows one player to cheat on double teams on defense.
I'm sorry your Mavs lost last night.He pretty much sucks, but is cheap and gets away with murder.
Bowen only shoots 40% and hits one (1) uño 3 a game.
Get a grip.
Bowen's shots are primarily 3s of which he hits 40%. You get a grip. You have no idea what he brings to the game because you are arguing against him based on offensive stats.
Again, the Spurs defensive scheme of which Bowen is a vital cog, has led to 3 les in the last 5 years. And you want some chucker to replace him. Brilliant.
His fantasy value is nil.
No.
I contest that you can find an adequate defensive replacement for you that can give you more offense -- keeping defenses honest.
Bowen is fvcking awful and if he did not have such a reputation for "stellar" defense, he'd not get away with so much sh1t.
Uño 3 a game.
Pray tell, just who is that easily found replacement?
Udoku™
So you've stumbled onto the Spurs' succession plan. Welcome to last summer.
Udoka's game doesn't exactly differ from Bowen's that much, if at all. I guess you'd be happy that you'd be able to continue to about something for the next 5 years.
My very own Bruce Bowen widget....... now we're talkin!!!!
The most ideal thing would've been if Jackson stayed with San Antonio and started with Ginobili or Finley.
And don't act like starting in place of Bowen some day is Udoku™'s en lement.
If the Spurs had Jack and Manu they would not have pursued Finley.
It's his to lose. He's here to be the master's understudy until he is ready.And don't act like starting in place of Bowen some day is Udoku™'s en lement.
The Spurs would not NEED Finley with Jack and Manu.
You asked who could easily replace Bowen and I pointed to the almighty Udoku™, another journeyman castoff.
Hey, whatever works. Who do you want them to replace Bowen with?
Settle: Udoku™
Wish: Artest
Investigate: D League
Ghost Writer is really pissing me off spelling Udoka "Udoku", and putting the tilde on uno.
Why's that.
