"landing on somone's foot happens ALL THE TIME"
in traffic, in the paint,when jumping for rebounds, yes. That's often a case where one lands where there was already a foot.
In Bruce's case, the jump shooter is already in/above the space where when Bruce slips his foot under the jumpshooter.
Bruce managed to slip his foot under Vince and Franchise when they were all alone on the perimeter, not in the fog of bodies under the basket. Bruce's foot move is completely unnatural, and now I'm sure it's malicious. At the very best, it's reckless.
So when Carter did it to Nene and when Francis did it to Manu it was unnatural, malicious and reckless, right? Until the condemnation is distributed to everyone equally this conversation is completely moot. Or do we blame Bruce Bowen every time someone turns an ankle regardless of whether the Spurs were involved in the game?
how the this thread got to 7 pages? We are seriously discussing that Bowen might have purposefully injured Stevie "my career was over after Houston" franchise????
why didn't Bowen go ahead and injure that fat ass Currie instead, Spurs might have had a better chance at winning the game then.
you guys are giving Stevie too much credit. He sucked before the ankle sprain and he will suck after it.
I repeat, now such a move is against the rules. It wasn't last year. Bowen just didn't get caught.
Then as soon as he and Francis get whistled for it we have something to talk about. Neither did. Sounds like a wash to me.
So what is Santa Clause bringing you?you obviously have not seen Bowen defend in the past. He always lands with legs split, so he can either recover his man, or go for a rebound, or steal, etc. rookie
like ppl have mentioned before, landing on somone's foot happens ALL THE TIME

Was just watching some of the highlights. It turns out ALL defenders stick their legs out on their landing after defending a jumpshot. This is just one random game off of ESPN guys, take a look. THe only difference is that the guys are not as close in guarding the shooter because they are out of position.
What does that have to do with whether or not it was dirty? Just because you say a player sucks doesn't give a reason to intentionally hurt them. Dumbass.how the this thread got to 7 pages?

You're absolutely right.Just because you say a player sucks doesn't give a reason to intentionally hurt them.
It doesn't give Bruce a reason to intentionally hurt him.
After watching the replay, Bowen unnecessarily stuck his foot further out to undercut Francis.
It is a dirty play.
Sounds like another Wierd Al hit.
If Bowen risked his reputation intentionally hurting a has-been player from the worst team in the league, in order to have a chance to win an early regular season out-of-conference game, he should be drummed out of the NBA.
Why Didn't Bruce Purposely Injure Dirk And Howard Last Spring ? Why Wait Till 3 Games Into The Season To Injure Francis...of All People.......
C'mon Bruce Get It Straight....
