Goodbye moral high-ground.
Maybe Amare should have taken lessons from Horry, then maybe he wouldnt play like such a pussyNot blaming, just pointing out that Nash may have learned something from last years playoff series against the Spurs.Most specifically, Bowen, since he guarded Nash. Nash will never ever come close to being the defender that Bowen is but maybe he is learning some of Bowens tricks.
yeah, we're jealous of your success bro!
No, I would actually not like our players to play like Horry or Bowen, if the truth be told.
You wouldn't want someone with Horry's clutch shooting or Bowen's defense?
And that is why Suns players wont have jewelry on their fingers.No, I would actually not like our players to play like Horry or Bowen, if the truth be told.
Yeah but Suns fan isn't interested in rings, they're interested in ratings and likeability.
Wow, I guess I really have to draw a diagram.You make no sense.
Spursfan: Look at a dirty play by Nash!
You: Even though this has absolutely nothing to do with the subject, Bowen did it first.
.... can I dumb it down even further?
I actually think Nash is a clutch shooter and Raja is a very good defender. What I meant is that I wouldn't want them to use the same tactics as Horry and Bowen do on defense where they (specifically Bowen) stick feet under others feet, or kick people in the face etc. or as Horry forearmed Nash into the scorers table. All Horry had to do to stop the game was give Nash a touch foul and they would have called it.
Was Nash hurt by jumping right into Bowen's space? For all I care, that was a Nash foul, but no, Bowen was called for it.Well, for one did you happen to see Nash get hit in the balls? For guy's that is a very sensitive area. He tried to hurt Amare and Nash's body was bruised on each arm and leg. (they showed it during one of the games) He was trying to injure a player and has for quite some time now in games against other teams. That is not why we lost to you though.
Up to this point, I just can't figure out how Suns fan can somehow get into Bowen's thoughts and KNOW that he tried to hurt Amare. You can argue that he tried to disrupt his shot with a dirty play, but why would you know he tried to hurt Amare? Why would you know Bowen tried to hurt other people? Bowen, during his 10 year career, hurt two opposing player (Francis and Carter), with one coming straight out and saying that he doesn't think Bowen tried to hurt him (Francis), while the other coming in and claimed Bowen did (Carter). If Bowen intentionally tried to hurt opposing players, he is really doing a poor job. I mean, 800+ games, and he only hurt two guys?
Nash is a good actor or Robert Horry has the strongest hips in human history.
About as funny as all the post started by Suns fan stating how dirty Bowen is with Bell on the SunsOh, okay gotcha. It is true though that it is kind of funny having a Spurs fan start this thread when you have Bowen on your team.
It was meant as a little ribbing at the poster. I actually think maybe Nash is tired of getting pushed around and decided to fight fire with fire. Who knows?
Bell doesn't even come close to using some of the tactics Bowen uses to play defense, so don't even go there.About as funny as all the post started by Suns fan stating how dirty Bowen is with Bell on the Suns

Bell and Bowen are the exact same player.
Did you study physics in high school? I did OK with it when I was there, and one thing I learned was that no matter how good an athlete you are, you can't stay in the air for more than a split second. Common sense also tells me that it is impossible for a person to aim for a landing spot, plant his foot on the predetermined spot, and wait for the opposing player to land on his foot to injure opposing players intentionally.I would have to disagree about Bowens intent. What do you call that jumping in the air kick to Wally's face, or when he sticks his foot under opposing players and they come up with ankle sprains? I think he knows what he is doing and doesn't worry one bit about it.

Check the video, Bowen wasn't even LOOKING at the spot.
Come on, you know he's just going to say he learned it from Bowen, Suns player can do no wrong.
Bell and Bowen are the exact same player.
Except Bowen doesn't let Kobe drop 50 on him regularly.
SELECTIVE MEMORY.
Why wasn't the "touch foul" called in the back court then? The Spurs tried to "touch foul" Nash quite deliberately two times before Horry hip-checked him.
I think you are confusing this with Bell's vicious forearm to Bryant. Horry never used his forearm.
EDIT: Also, it's Bruce Bowen, not Bruce Lee. Anyone that thinks that Bowen has the coordination to change directions in mid-air or deliberately target an achilles tendon is delusional.
In that one instance, yes, but not on a consistent basis. Raja was tired of Kobe elbowing him in the face, not the way to handle it but the refs were ignoring it, so he did that stupid flagrant foul. Nothing that I would condone. Show some of the pictures of Bowen when he has done stupid things to opposing players to be fair.
Bell and Bowen are the exact same player.
You are right, Bell actually tries to injure other players.Bell doesn't even come close to using some of the tactics Bowen uses to play defense, so don't even go there.

Too bad he is not very good at it, Kobe could still walk afterwards.
Kobe was hardly fazed by it. That tells me Raja's a big pussy. He deliberately tries to hurt him and doesn't get any reaction at all.
Bell and Bowen are the exact same player.
bruce bowen!
Yeah, Felton was playing rough, Nash was just retaliating. Damn Felton, he deserved it, show you what would happen when you try to mess with Nash.I just find it odd that he said something about it being swept under the rug when Bowen gets away with a lot worse and isn't punished for his actions. Also, in that game last night Felton was pushing Nash around a bit and the refs weren't calling fouls for it, maybe Nash had enough of it. Especially after last years playoffs against the Spurs, he might be learning to fight back. Who knows? I don't aprove of this type of reaction or action but maybe he has had enough and figures he has to get tough. Your guess is as good as mine.
NASH FOREVER, ANYBODY WHO TRIED TO ROUGH HIM UP, YOU WILL HAVE YOUR ANKLES SPRAINED.
But I don't approve of it.
Your arguments certainly makes sense.
Bowen, a hated, unheralded player is being protected by the league over high-scoring, revenue generating scorers. It's true I tell you, just that I don't know why and there is no logical ways of explaining it.
