He must have done something right the Spurs still won the game. I dont care if Wade goes for 50, we still got a W. And actually he took 20 shots last night he was bound to be the high scorer.
wow did you see how he locked dwayne wade up last night - er wait actually he couldnt keep d wade in front of him for nothing. he needed help all the help he could get last night.

I think Silent Bob would be the best one to address this particular thread.
The author of this thread is a of the first order.
Gee...he went 8-20...that's 0.400 for the mathematically challenged.
Coming into the game last night, Wade was shooting 0.452 for the season.
Sounds like a decent job to me.
You should be locked up as well.
comical
see i was man enough to come in here and give bruce bowen props- - he got used last night - he shot 8 for 20 because other spurs stepped up and he just missed shots. Bowen could not stay in front of him for anything - I doubt anybody can - why can't you apologists be man enough to admit he cannot guard Dwade?
not to mention that vicious dunk after he split 2 spurs and threw down on Timmy
wade is awesome.
Spurs won, by a LOT.
I don't see your point.
The Spurs suck because they won and wade had a good game?

DWade is a beast. Nevertheless, he won't be getting a ring anytime soon.
If having to put down a player from his own team just to prove he was "right" in an old argument makes him feel happier than a Spurs win, let him.
His point is that he hates Bowen. And wants to prove that Bowen is too old and can't stay in front of any of the league's best scorers. Refer to any of his prior posts for the same mantra.
If I was responding to a real post regarding this subject, here's what I'd say:
Dwyane Wade is awesome, though last night wasn't one of his better nights. At one point in the game he was 3-for-11 or 3-for-12. But he is definitely one of the more difficult players in the league for Bowen to guard.
kori - you know that isnt true - I have given Bowen his respect and recognized that he has played great defense on several players in the league - the issue at hand is some of you apologists think he can do no wrong and won't allow any critique - you think he can lock up any and everyone in the league and I say he cant. I was big enough to recognize my error -- why can't you ?
Read my last post. I just said that Wade is definitely one of the most difficult people in the league for Bowen to guard.
Bull and bull .the issue at hand is some of you apologists think he can do no wrong and won't allow any critique - you think he can lock up any and everyone in the league
Anyone who has followed Bruce's career has seen him get burned by great scorers. The thing that makes Bruce special is he never gives up in the face of that kind of ownage. He always comes back for more the next play, the next quarter, the next game, the next season -- learning from his mistakes and always throwing new looks at his covers. He's ing relentless -- even more relentless than the worst of a troll that just hangs around for weeks waiting for some top 10 player to exceed his scoring average against Bruce.
In short:
Bruce >
Spurs 98
Heat 84

Apparently this is the first time implacable has seen the Spurs' team defensive scheme of funnelling scorers into the big man.... And did you happen to notice that the entire Heat offense was predicated on screening Bowen off of Wade?
Let me repeat that...
BRUCE BOWEN WAS THE CENTRAL FACTOR OF THE ENTIRE HEAT OFFENSE LAST NIGHT.
couldn't have said it better myself
it would be hard for anyone to stay in front of wade when the head is setting like 100 picks for him. even the announcers said they never saw a team come on with such a focused plan for a defender...especially so early in the game. notice the few times he was alone with bruce and tried to cross him bruce would slide in front of him. then a big man could come to set a pick. anyway wade is one of my fav players...no one can guard him 1 on 1, but bruce did a uva job frustrating him.
Good offense trumps good defense a majority of the time....
EDIT: Meant on an individual basis...
Wade rarely scored when Bruce was on him. Ginobili played Wade a lot and thats when Wade scored.
I don't think anyone has ever tried to contend that Bruce Bowen dominates the NBA's best perimeter players and is capable of shutting those guys down completely. I think the argument has always encompassed two ideas: (1) over time, in terms of creating inefficiency, Bowen wins those matchups more frequently than he loses them; and (2) there is nobody else in the NBA who wins those matchups as frequently as Bowen.
There's a reason great scorers score, and it's not because they are susceptible to being shut down for 4 quarters on many nights. Bowen's job isn't to hold Wade, Kobe, McGrady, or anyone else in that category to single digits every night. His job is to make them take a boatload of difficult shots under duress and earn whatever points they ac ulate. Again, implacable, who is better in the NBA at doing that than Bowen on a night-in/night-out basis? I think you'd be hard-pressed to come up with more than maybe 5 guys who are even remotely close.
