Bruce Bowen is overrated

[ancestron]

While it is true I cringe everytime he decides to put the ball on the floor, Bowen is an integral part of the Spurs success. He offers too many intangibles. How bout the block on Chauncey Billups toward the end of Game 7 in the 05 finals, which came after a clutch 3 he hit from a kickout pass from Duncan? How bout the Game deciding 3 pointer he made against Phoenix in game 5 of the 07 semis? Spurs were down that whole game until he hit that 3. How bout that game saving block that nearly put Nowitzki on his ass in game 6 of the 06 semis. How bout those games where it seems like he cant miss a 3? How bout game 6 of the 07 semis where Steve Nash couldnt do anything except turn it over or miss? How about LeBron James being harrassed to no end in the Finals?
it is easy to overlook and completely forget all the things he brings to the team. Pop and co. are not fools. Bruce Bowen is out there for a reason.

[Oh, Gee!!]

Brrruuuuuuuuuuuuce!!!!

[smeagol]

Mark my words, bowen's new contract will turn out be wasted money. bowen's play will drop off this year, and the next, and the next.

Bowen is OLD, there is no way he keep playing D at the level we've grown accustom to.

sequ has a troll?

[ChumpDumper]

I heartily endorse this thread.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Outstanding bump.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

bump of the year

[ShoogarBear]

He missed a free throw, didn't he?

[TampaDude]

Every time you say something about him, it get's locked or you're an idiot.

Dude is overrated. The Spurs would be much better with a forward that could rebound, score and dunk in that position.

One of the reason the Spurs are 10 games behind Dallas is because he can't stop any of the elite players anymore.

Saying the Spurs need a long forward is just a cheap way of saying Bruce needs to go.

WTF?

Yeah...Bowen was only 6/6 from beyond the arc tonight...he sucks...

[TampaDude]

He missed a free throw, didn't he?

Yes he did...totally unacceptable...trade Bowen now...

[bigfan]

Man Bowen really sucked tonight.....

"Bruce Bowen is the worst starting small forward in the NBA" - Ghostwriter


I won't let him forget that one

[ducks]

bruce bowen shut down mcgrady and now kobe already this season

next up mcgrady then ing james

[barbacoataco]

Bowen outplays Kobe again.

[Slydragon]

Bruce is Lakers Bonzi Wells.

[Solid D]

The worst kind of ownage is self-ownage.

[T Park]

Yes it is

[Kori Ellis]

I think Bowen may be near the tail-end here. His defense is still pretty good, but I don't know how much longer he can continue to be a starter...

[Kori Ellis]

bowen MUSN'T SHOOT ANYMORE .
he sucks he sucks he sucks .
Plus he is stupid as his BB IQ is near 0.
He just have to admit that his just a dog who guard like a .

[Kori Ellis]

OK, I agree he'll probably be replaced in the starting lineup next year

[Kori Ellis]

Bruce has already lost a step or 2 on defense. I was at the game in SA when we played LA before the rodeo roadtrip. I realize Kobe is one of the best offensive players in the league, but that was the worst I've ever seen Bruce play him.

[Kori Ellis]

Sequ is right in that aspect. Bruce is overrated if he get labeled as a lockdown perimeter guy. There is no such thing.

[Kori Ellis]

I love Bruce,and I think he is a great Defender,but I think the question is:who will take his place from next year?
cause realisticly we are gonna need a SF eather to the starting lineup,or to play 24 mins P/game.Considering that Bowen will be 36 and His legs are not the same tham years before.
Is there any SF available this offseason(FA),or a SF prespect for this coming draft?

[Kori Ellis]

Every time I say something about him ... I'm an idiot.

WTF?
