Good luck with that
Mike and Mike just said that Bowen is more than likely suspended for tonight's game. They had a source that said that due to his continued questionable dirty tactics, the league is going to act to try to stop them and prevent a larger problem down the line.
I have to agree here, Bruce needs to clean it up. It can not be coincidence that he is involved in so many questionable situations and his reputation is getting worse by the minute. It reflects badly upon the Spurs IMO. If this were Ron Artest doing this same stuff, all us Spurs fans would be calling for his head, so we need to admit that he is getting out of hand.
The Spurs will have to suck it up and win w/o him tonight.
Good luck with that
To quote Tim Duncan, "That's re ed".
I have never considered mike and mike that credible. and if bowen is suspended oh well. we will just have to win without him and then really listen to the suns cry. I think this will light a fire under our ass.
If this is true then it is a death sentence... for Phoenix
Veteran teams like the Spurs don't get emotional or fired up so much from another team talking in the media, but I'm guessing if one of the core memberse of the team is suspended for a home game, there's going to be determination in the Spurs tonight that we probably have not seen since Game 7 of the 2005 Finals
It's not dirty tho... It's just smart basketball.... Everything he's done and been questioned on has been legal. So how can it be dirty if it's not even a violation.
This is insane to me that we're even talking about it.
And I like Mike and Mike.... but they're 'sources' arn't always the most reliable... especially if it's Greeny sayin that.
A suspension woud be ridiculous- granted I realize that won't stop the league from doing it.
The clip on Amare's foot was not intentional. Neither was his kneeing Nash. Both were incidental contact.
People who complain about Bruce are just mad because he is actually in thei shooters' space- denying shooters open looks and messing up their shots night after night.
It's called defense people.
Shush and play ball.
Is it normal to suspend a player less than 24 hours before tip-off?
They suspend Bowen, the Spurs will still win.
Guys, this is coming for Jim.
The Spurs have yet to have their blowout in the playoffs this year...I think tonight might be the night!
That's not that unusual. Less than 12 hours before tip would be fairly remarkable, particularly where the team isn't playing in a back-to-back situation.
Bruce said that he and Nash spoke after the incident and Nash said told Bruce he knows that Bruce didn't knee him on purpose.
Amare is just a whiner. And that is putting it nicely.
Here Amare is going on and on about how Bruce Bowen clipped his foot, when no real disruption to his game. much less injury, was caused.
Meanwhile Nash played through a terribly bloody nose and Gino played with an incredibly swollen eye- and both with zero complaint.
Grow up Amare.
No, but they had to look at the complaint yesterday fro D'Antoni I am sure and need time to look at all the evidence.
D'Antoni is a whiny and if he continiues to whine and complain, then eventually they have to listen.

If you suspend Bowen, you suspend Marion for punching Ginobili in the eye...
You have to wonder if people are so angry about great defense then why aren't there any complaints about the Pistons year after year? Are they not up in your face on defense? Are they not "physical"? Tayshaun Prince crowds the out of shooters...where are the complaints about him? Of course we've never seen Tayshaun "clip" a player or knee a player in the groin but that's besides the point
Guys, this is coming for Jim.
My reputation precedes me, I think.
I am serious here, Mike and Mike did just report this, I swear.
I heard the same thing, though I didn't hear that they had a source. I thought it was just speculation on Greenberg's part. I figured that it was probably speculation informed by the notion that he'd prefer to see the Suns advance.

Go ahead and suspend him. We still win tonight and we'll wait here and see tommorow what the complaints will be.
Their sources are better than mine obviously but I would be shocked if Bowen got suspended tonight. This is the playoffs and you have to do something pretty flagrant to get a league reviewed suspension. He may be fined and warned to back it down a notch but all the whining by Phoenix could backfire too...I expect the first quarter to be a foul fest as the Refs make a statement that they are gonna control the game. Phoenix is typically awful at the line and that plays right into the Spurs game plan and negates fast break points.
True, they both aways pick against the Spurs. Greenie picked Denver to beat SA.
Players do what Bowen does all the time. The difference is that Bowen attracts more attention because of all the pussies in the league (Allen, Carter, I. Thomas, etc). Players swing elbows all the time to create space. If they make contact, it's a foul. If they don't create contact, nothing happens. Same thing. However, if Bowen does get suspended, I have only one thing to say:
James White!
The Suns were first in the league in team FT% in the 2006-07 season.
Ron Artest went to the head on two separate Spurs and slammed Tony Parker to the court in garbage time OF THE SAME GAME to earn his suspension. If the NBA is going to legislate what it perceives as intent they are opening a dangerous Pandora's box.
Phoenix led the league in FT % with 81% shooting. What are you smoking?
