Bowen kicked Amare in Achilles

This is the most ridiculous thread ever. Leave it to Suns fans to be so dramatic.

The Spurs are quickly getting a reputation as the dirtiest team in the league. It's not just Suns fans, it's all over the NBA forums.

Here's what a Suns fan said after the game:

I saw some of the most ridiculous things tonight at the game.

There was...Ginobili grabbing on to Amare's leg, preventing him from rolling to the basket, no call by the refs, Suns turnover.

Bruce Bowen blatantly kicking Amare square in the leg when he went for a dunk. If you have the game tape, you can see Bowen leaning forward, not really jumping, just trying to stomp on Amare's ankle basically. They replayed it on the screen at the arena, in slow-mo, and people were pissed.

Bruce Bowen basically clotheslining Leandro Barbosa away from the ball.


Duncan grabbing on to Amare's leg to prevent him from running, while he was down on the ground, pretending to tie his shoe(what is it with grabbing Amare's leg????)

Bowen elbowing Nash in the back, away from the ball, so hard that Nash fell over.

Elson shoulder-blocking Diaw, basically knocking him out of bounds.

Duncan grabbing on to Bell's arm to prevent him from running down the court on a fast break.


None of this stuff was called, yet it was blatant, and clear as daylight."

It's a shame that your team is engaging in this disgraceful behavior. I honestly would not be surprised to see either Amare or Nash get seriously injured by one of your thugs. Actually, thug is the wrong word -- it implies toughness -- this is more like the guy who sucker punches someone or kicks them when they're down.

I hope the league will send a message to the Spurs that cannot try to injure other players with abandon and get away with it. Heavy penalties are in order.

It's time for the league to send a message.

It's called veteran smarts WHINER BOY!!!!!

lol...you bring up the weather. that is funny. believe me when I say it isn't the Phoenix people that use the dry heat term but the hundreds of thousands of tourists that come here each year. If a Phoenician uses that term it is in jest. But go ahead and diss us on our weather.

Phoenix sucks. I can hardly wait to move out of this dust-devil .

Yes it was already proven pages before that there is nothing on the video that shows Bowen doing anything wroing.

at this whole thread. Everyone was hitting the floor last night, Spurs players and Suns players. Neither the Spurs nor Suns are a dirty team. Get the over it. Bowen is not dirty. Bell is not dirty (unless he plays Kobe). Bell did foul Ginobili a little extra than he should have, but it is a playoff game. Back in the day, those fouls were the norm. Suns fans, if you want a dirty team, then you should have prayed that the Nuggets beat the Spurs. Or you should have faced them two years ago. Or the Sonics from two years ago. Then you would understand what dirty is. Spurs players never intentionally try to hurt the other team's players. Never. Actually, they almost always help the other team's player up off the ground after a hard foul. What other team in the league does that? The Suns haven't done it nearly as much as the Spurs have in the two games so far this series. They play physical, it took the Suns a game to respond. Bowen didn't kick Amare, and even if he did, he wouldn't try to hurt him.
