You're right, you don't have to worry about that. But you are a hypocrite if you criticize those guys for their free throw shooting while at the same time defending Bruce Bowen.
Yes, back to the original point. Having both Terry and Devin Harris start against the spurs works because either one can guard Bowen. Who cares about the height disadvantage? If the spurs want to run isolations for Bruce Bowen then they can be my guest......

WHERE in this conversation did it start out that you said Bowen sucks at every other aspect.... WE NEVER ARGUED THAT! We where just argueing your point that Bowen cant shoot from over an undersized Terry and Harris. Again, quit playing like a polotician that said something stupid and try to back out of it.
I'm not saying that Bowen is good at all aspects of offense, but if you leave Bowen at the 3point line WATCH OUT! And as you said before, Bowen can't do much on offense, and that's why he is left open for 3s. Some defenders don't think he is able to make it because of all the other stats he has, but that is one of the best 3points shooters out there. All I'm saying is when we are playing against each other, DO NOT LEAVE HIM OPEN. Because he will hit them.
Who cares? Let him, as long as he's not spotting up from the corner he won't make the shot.
FYI Bowen is not going to shoot over anyone....not even a midget. For the last time he only takes open shots.
WRONG AGAIN!! This only applies to wide open shots in the corner. He can't make them from the top of the key or anywhere else! No one is scared to death over here because of Bruce Bowen's offensive capabilities. He is the least of the Mavericks worries.
As far as Im concerned your right, but we where arguing the FACTS with Amarelooms that 43% from the field sucks. Not about every aspect of Bowens game which Amarelooms is trying to claim this conversation was all about in the first place.
Actually, Bowen, as a FACT, can make it from anywhere else from beyond the arc, I see him do it quite often.... he just prefers the corners for some reason (Im guessing because of the way the Spurs offense rotates) it leaves him wide open because teams dont beleive he is part of the offensive rotation... Which they are right... but when the rotation doesnt create.... he is there as an option.
If it is being a hypocrite saying that we shouldn't worry that a bad free throw shooting Bowen won't be at the line as much compared to borderline free throw shooting players of the Mavs that will be there plenty of more times than him, then a hypocrite I shall be.
43% isn't great, but it really depends on what kind and how many shots you are taking. Jason Terry is always going to be a better shooter than shaq, even though shaq will always have the higher FG%.
That was not the initial arguement, I suggest you go back and look at my first post. Also, I stand behind my point that Bowen's career average of 41% SUCKS AND IS HORRIBLE given the fact that he is a role player does not create or take tough shots.
No one has ever seen him shoot from other than the corner, so who knows...
Agreed.
Good point.
You two just totally contradicted eachother.....Lol one of you obviously doesn't know anything about Bowen or the spurs.
Again, your not looking at the NUMBER of shots, I wouldnt be suprised if he took at least 25% more shots then any Mav from beyond the arc.
That was a blooper.Unless phyzik has seen him play more than me. I got into basketball in the 03 season.
I cant speak for Elliotfan but I have seen him do it plenty of times..... he does it a few times during the season but most often he does it during practice.
You said you've seen him do it quite often, you must go to alot of spur practices. What relationship do you have with the spurs organization?
What if HE'S Bruce Bowen??????
No but I think I caught him in a little white lie.
Shhh....
If we were all NBA players in a game, we'd all sooooo get ejected because of that new rule.
what white lie? Are you talking about the practices? Its pretty well known around here he can shoot from other spots from beyond the arc.... In fact Im looking for the interview in which several Spurs say he can do it... just give me a few minutes.
He also does it in Warmup too.... maybe you should watch.
