Bowen's Knee to Nash Under Review?

[Tek_XX]

Are the Suns at the point where they are begging the league for help in this series?

The fact that they are reviewing an incidental knee to the groin. The answer would be yes.

[Big P]

And Marion swiping at the ball almost gouging Manus eye out? Oh right that was an accident, & no foul was called, but Nash is up on Bowens nuts, not giving him any room to move Bruce moves his leg & they call a foul on him, but thats just good defense...Bowen is up on peoples nuts playing swarming defense, & he's a dirty player...why did all the players that the NBA interviewed say that Bowen is the best on ball defender..these are his peers saying this..they could have chosen someone else if they really believe he is a dirty player, but they chose Bowen, but since some Kings fan says that Bowen is a dirty player, its got to be true..what about Artest, he broke MJ's ribs, is he a dirty player or just a good defender?

I'm sure your situation is identical to the NBA game. Was that middle school basketball? I'm sure you totally understand the speed of this game.

There's not one player in the NBA who does the foot under the jump shooter move with the leg kicking waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out in an awkward, unnatural motion besides Bowen.

Say, did Kobe intentionally swing waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out in an awkward, unnatural motion at all those players like Manu after he got his stuffed?

[dbreiden83080]

Hey, I'm a Laker fan and not only do we have more rings than your franchise will ever win, but we also beat this Spurs group in 3 of 5 playoff meetings.

Yeah that is real relevant to the topic at hand here. Hey how did that ass whipping the Pistons handed you in 2004 feel just before Kobe wrecked your franchise in the offseason?

youre reaaaaaching real hard right now. real hard.

[zrinkill]

Bottom line is that all the Sun fans can do is make up false claims of our team being dirty .....

Basically the Sun fans are making a preemptive excuse for why their team is gonna lose this series ....



Must suck to have such little faith in their team.

NOPE! Because you don't know about basketball! You might wanna try your local sports radio station, They'll like you!!

Was that a response? Woah excellent point you made there. So i'm guessing my sarcasm was correct. You don't know about the NBA game.

If Nash would have given adequate space for Bowen to pivot none of this would have happened... It is starting to become a trend on defense where players are impeding the progress of the offensive player. In this case Bowen on the progress of his pivot racked Nash. Incidental contact at best...

What the league should look at is how Phoenix got away with unsportsman like conduct when players got up from their seats on the bench and attempted to disrupt Bowen's three point shot (which failed)... We are looking at a bunch of babies crying trying to get their way.

Shoudn't they look at Marion for the rake to Manu's eye... We did not cry about that at all... in matter of fact, rake the other eye, it just might make Manu pour forty on Phoenix's sorry excuse for a team.

The sequence resulting in Bowen's knee making contact with Nash's groin area began as Nash defended Bowen on the left wing.

Nash, Bowen said, was crowding him, giving him no room to move. Bowen pivoted, and when he did, the unfortunate contact took place.

"He was crowding me, and in this game you're taught to get people off of you," Bowen said. "If someone is taking up your space, you have nothing to do. But with all the stuff that is going on with (me), I'm sure that will end up on YouTube."

Bowen said he apologized to Nash for kneeing him and assured him he had no intention of hitting him where he did.

"I said to him, 'Now, Steve, you know I didn't try to knee you there,' and he said, 'Yeah, absolutely, Bruce,' and we gave each other five."

If Nash was angry with Bowen after Saturday's game, it had more to do with the job Bowen and Tony Parker did in limiting his effectiveness in the first three quarters. Nash didn't score his first basket until five minutes remained in the third. He finished with 16 points, but needed 17 shots to get them.

Aware that Stoudemire had called on NBA officials to "clean the game up a little bit," Bowen said players have to learn to play on through frustration. tends to go the other way.


"That's part of the game and you have to be able to adjust," Bowen said. "I think if we're the team that continues to just sit back and take the abuse and not try to play through it, or try to call things to the officials' attention, it
"Now you're caught up in a whining war and not just playing."

Asked if Stoudemire may have made a mistake by his pre-game accusations about the Spurs, Bowen chose his words carefully.

"You've got to be careful what you say," Bowen said. "It can always come back on you in a way you're not ready for.

"The only person I've ever seen in a sports atmosphere to be able to say something and back it up is Muhammad Ali. Period."

amare brought up the issue with him and bowen, but as far as i'm aware, the suns did not bring this to the league office, the office looked into the foul on their own.

Um, being the best on ball defender and being the dirtiest player in the league are not mutually exclusive.

Bruce Bowen IS the league's best on ball defender or one of the top 2-3 at least and IS simultaneously the league's dirty player.

A few years back Ray Lewis was considered a dirty player in the NFL, but anyone with a clue knew he was still the league's best MLB.

Karl Malone is considered one of the dirtiest of all time and still is one of the best PF's ever.

[ThomasGranger]

Even if all these claims about the Spurs being dirty were actually true, that wouldn't change the fact that D'Antoni, Amare and many Suns fans are being total pussies about it.

Follow his lead.

Yeah Bruce is so DIRTY so he must have been suspended countless times by the league for his actions RIGHT? No huh, well at least he has been thrown out of games for his actions right? No not exactly.

Absolutely he did. Much like you Spurs fans, at first I wanted to think it was an accident but when it happens over and over like it did, you are just in denial if you don't admit it.

Kobe started out as a very clean bball player, but unfortunately he does swing to the darkside and pull a Bowen from time to time. But still, not with near the consistency and filth level that Bowen does.

I mean I'll take 10 elbows to by face before a kick to the achilles which could potentially end my career.

I can admit it though. Can you about BLB? (Bruce LEE Bowen)

Stern said they'll review it for Phoenix fan satisfaction!
