another player you can add to the BOWNED list.
"They let him be as aggressive from the beginning to the end of the game," Iverson said. "They just let him get away with a lot of stuff, that's all it is."
- on bowen's defense on him

Seems like A.I. might have a rash.
LOLOL@Bowned. i like A.I. but never thought he would ever complain like that...i guess Bowen really does get to the best of them
iverson is the man.
bruce is one of the best.
case closed.
manu and tp would be ing too if bruce was on another team defending them...belleve dat. well.....maybe not manu...
He isn't ing.
He is just telling the truth.
Bowen got away with playing close D on Iverson tonight, and got away with lots of contact.
When basically everyone Bruce guards says he uses dirty tactics, you got to wonder a little bit, don't you?
I think Bruce is awesome. And, if the refs don't catch or call the clutching and grabbing and other little dirty tricks, by all means, he should take advantage.
But, that doesn't mean he doesn't do them.
bruce's rep precedes him.
the refs let him play. no blood? no foul.
Half of Iverson's points come off fouls...
He just hated the fact that he didn't get many, and when he did they were bs.
The guy's a ragdoll and he's whining..
Not really.When basically everyone Bruce guards says he uses dirty tactics, you got to wonder a little bit, don't you?
Cause from what I watch, he doesn't do anything dirty.
Hes not gouging eyes, yanking down shorts (ahem AI), nor is he doing anything to injure on purpose.
If someoe wants to say he does any of THAT, they are wrong.
If they say what he does, and its NOT of the above things, and they still call it dirty?
They they are wrong again.
That simple.
Just don't throw a cup of ice at bruce. That s crazy in a bottle. Ooops. Sorry . It just slipped out.
Chalk it up!Just don't throw a cup of ice at bruce. That s crazy in a bottle. Ooops. Sorry . It just slipped out.
Bruce just does what everyone else in the league does and holds, grabs, does whatever he can...and hopes he doesn't get caught...
...but he combines that with superior perimeter "showing hands" defense and he never gives up on a play...
A.I. is the man...but damn...Shut up!!!
Referees from all over the leauge allow Bruce do his dirty tactics.
All the referees on one Bowen.
So maybe NBA should change all the refs or just suspend Bowen for ever.
I never thought that Iver will be Bowned. Never.
This is crazy Bowen can matchup with every wing in this leauge and a PG. wow.
I thought that Tony will guard Iver. Oh well
(BTW 37pts and at least 10 was in garbage)
Naw AI isn't the man, he's just a baby faced thug who likes to pad his stats in garbage time.
funny how he doesnt complain when he gets pounded by other players, but when bowen bowneds him he complains. sorry AI you overrated player ive ever seen to statpad in scrub minutes...
I did notice AI trying to get his points after game was pretty much decided.
I like AI because he's a warrior and he has balls when the game is on the line. Bowen gets away with alot because he is consistant every night. If he just played physical against the "studs" like a Kobe, T-Mac or Iverson then the refs might look at it a little different. Bruce plays the same way against no-names and below .500 teams as he does the superstars and legit playoff bound squads. AI is just venting, and showing he can be as big a as the next guy when his emotions get in the way. Iverson is still cool in my opinion and he will never be put in the "Gay Ray" category of cry baby es!
Iverson doesn't care the score or the time in the game. When he's on the court, he goes 110%. You would think him being in the league for as long as he has, you guys would know that. It wasn't him padding his stats in scrub minutes. He plays hard all the time.
Bruce did a great job on Ivo in the third quarter. AI got frustrated. Bruce does have a few dirty tricks. Can't understand why some Spurs fans still deny that.
Last year, in a regular season game between Detroit and Philadelphia, Larry Brown put Tayshaun Prince on Allen Iverson, and that completely neutralized him. Iverson was frustrated. He didn't say Tayshaun got away with things all night long.
You got to understand that if all these players continually say that Bruce gets away with things that there has to be some merit to what they're saying.
I respect Bruce a lot. I think he's a world class defender. And, I think it's cool he never justifies any of the talk that he's dirty and he just shrugs it off or somewhat laughs at the notion. But, I have to believe that even he knows he does some dirty things to gain defensive advantages against opponents. You can crack on those players and call them whining es. But, as that list grows longer, the more the validity to those claims that he does get away with a lot.
Amuseddaysleeper, your posting is hilarious...it works well with that video that plays along with it. I'd love to see someone kick AI, though. He's good, but a pussy (and will never win a ring).
hahaha i totally forgot about the little video in my sig in relation to this thread! lol it'll be a bit more hypocritical for me to stand up for bowen now! haha
I agree. Bruce plays stellar defense but you know he's a master at "bending the rules" and throwing in some illegal stuff. The hand is quicker than the eye and Bruce, being a black belt, has some very quick hands.
Just like Ginobili "embellishes" contact and has become a master flopper. As a compe or you take whatever advantages you can to get the W. Both these guys work really hard but make no mistake, they both take advantages of weaknesses in the system.
More power to them.
Iverson is still cool in my opinion and he will never be put in the "Gay Ray" category of cry baby es!
As for the Bruce Bowen quote, I think AI just said that out of frustration.
Anyways, Spurs got the W!
