That's the truth. I can't fathom how such little contact from Bowen made Amare fold like a lawnchair. He was either acting to make Bowen look like a villain or he's just a ...maybe both.
Gotta say, thats an inovative name for a troll...

obviously Amare acted he was fine than all the sudden he was 'hurt'.. however that doesn't make what Bowen did ok.. unnecessary and classless.. i'd expect nothing less from Bowen though..
Bowen didn't do anything lol. He ran into a screen and instinctively put his arms up to protect himself. That's it. And this is coming from a guy that's on the "Bruce is dirty" bandwagon. I know the guy can be bush league at times but that was nothing. Amare pulling the acting job and then pretending like he wanted to run at Bowen makes it even more pathetic. Damn, just take the in win without all the drama.
put his arms up to protect himself? thats a good one..
how does one protect themselves then?![]()
God people this is basketball, not freaking Ping Pong.
Grow a pair Phoenix.
Exactly. That's why he was rolling his eyes on the sideline as he watched Amare getting his panties in a wad. Stoudamire sets a pick, Bowen runs into him, and Bowen was wrong for instinctively protecting his body with his arms? That's what anyone would do.
ok, do i consider this a dirty play? no. physical. however. when going thru a screen, you can lead with your forearm, meaning the wristal area (yeah, i like making up words)... not the elbow, which he did. now, you can say that yes, it wasn't that hard, but it also depends on the persons elbows, i'm not that big, but i have some sharp ass elbows, and i've hurt a few people while playing basketball, and i didn't even have to run into them, i let them run into me. some on purpose, some not.
the other play though of bowen getting burned and trying to take out nash's ankle, then the other one when he did the Cobra Kai leg sweep on nash, THOSE were dirty.
i'll have to see if i can find it on youtube, saw it on the tv earlier, i'll try and get it if i can though.
another thing about it, you can't compare what bowen does with laimbeer and the 80's players.
they would've hit you, then got on with the game when/if they got called for the foul, or laughed at you. bowen goes off and gets the sad face as if he didn't do anything wrong.
at times though, i do wonder if he's done it for so long if he doesn't realize he's doing it.

if you're able to watch this, you can see the leg sweep, kinda, need to get a bigger view to watch. but happens with about 6 seconds left. haven't found where he kicks at his ankles yet though.. will have to wait a little bit.
Love him if you've got him, hate him if you don't. S.O.S. different day.
Amare would be crying if he got hit by a Ping Pong ball.
Please watch this INSTRUCTIONAL video again.

Notice how the defender protects himself, you see him use the "wristal" area?
Nice to know that you also acknowledge Stoudemire as a whiner, this guy is complaining about plays that are considered physical in the regular season by a Suns fan?
I actually would like to see it, as I believe I have a very different interpretation of what a dirty play is.
EDIT: Thanks for the video. That's a leg sweep? How does people expect Bowen to start and stop on a run? Some reason, people expect Bowen to be some kind of mountain goat where he can just start and stop on a dime without maintaining balance with his feet. Nash turned around for the pass in that play. Unless Bowen knew ahead of time that Nash would be doing that, he was just chasing Nash around.
Amare needs to go get some more tattoos. Maybe that'll make him look tougher anyway.
you are a big ing piece of i saw you trying to defend bowen for like 35+ pages on the suns forum. you are probably the most pathetic human being on the planet. go yourself.
at the comparison of OJ and Bowen. Glad to know he gets in your head to, just like all the NBA players.
I think its funny how Phoenix actually won the game, and yet they are still compliaining about something so insignificant. Yeah I can tell Spurs aren't in your heads at all.
lame. There was nothing in that in terms of people running into screens that was about a 1/10 on how bad it can get. Have a lookk at these if you want to see a man setting a pick.

might be because you never earn your championships.. aka you are the most pathetic franchise on the planet.. go yourself you fat .
yer pathetic...waaahhh....you hurt my tummy....wahhh,...dirty...wahhhhh....wwahaaahhhh.. .
shut the up already.
suck my white ass you fat pussy
I've watched this video a couple of times and I've come to a conclusion, Stoudemire was acting on that play to make Bowen look bad imo. There was contact from Bowen but not enough to make Stoudemire moan like that. Stoudemire should be ashamed of himself.
