Ghost Writer, where art thou?
Bruce once again proves that he is the best perimeter defender in the league.
Don't sleep on Bruce!
Ghost Writer, where art thou?
He did foul Wade on the last play though.
Either way - he played some awesome D in that fourth.
I'll have to see it again. I thought Wade was losing the ball before he was touched.
I don't think he fouled Wade... He got his palm on the ball and Wade quickly threw his hands up... He didn't foul Wade.
Just saw the replay on TNT... he didn't foul him.
Wade lost the ball before he jumped passed Bowen or the two other spurs in his way. ROFLzers
From what I saw (gonna see it again), Wade lost the ball before the arm contact.
Bruce did foul Wade on that last play. He got part of the ball and then followed through on Wade's forearm.
WGAF SPurs won period.
Bruce still proved he's #1 defender
No torch needs to be passed just yet. Bruce is still The Man.
he just turned it on on the last lays and shut the door for us.. i want him on my team till the day i die
Bowen hit the ball and dislodged it before making contact with Wade's arm. Clean play.
However, the best defense by Bowen was during the Heat's second to last possession. That was vintage Bruce Bowen defense.
there is an unusual amount of bruce haters on here. why is that
agree...he moved his feet well and pushed wade back a few feet and made wade take a longer jumper than he wanted.
you know you're good when not only the team opponents hate you, but the team fans also....
I still haven't seen more than one replay, but that's the same thing I thought.
When was the last time you saw the Spurs go zone in that situation?However, the best defense by Bowen was during the Heat's second to last possession. That was vintage Bruce Bowen defense.
Watching the last quarter Bruce was like looking at a piece of masterful art, somethiing by Van Gogh or Monet, it was just beautiful to watch.
I always thought Wade was exactly the kind of player that would give Bowen trouble. Strong, quick, sees the floor very well, and has a fantastic in between game, and yet Bowen blanketed him like cheese on macaroni. It was enough to make grown men cry.
A clean play by Bruce. I didn't see any foul at all during the replays. The way he defends the other teams' superstars is fun to watch...When is he going to win the DPoY award? I think it's long overdue...
The last 4 minutes was very good, but apart from that Bruce was asleep most of the game. He (and the rest of the team) just kept ducking under screens and left the ball handler plenty of room to operate. Wade got into the paint far too often for a team with absolutely no second offensive threat.
Bruce, like the rest of the team, is content with playing around 12 minutes of great basketball and playing lackadaisacal ball the rest of the time. Against a god-awful Miami team, it was just enough. But they aren't going to win more than 2 or 3 on the rodeo road trip with this kind of energy level
Those close fouls never get called during the last play of the game. Wade should have known better than to drive into that mess. Looked like he got raked across the arm but it certainly wasn't serious enough to warrant a whistle on the last play of the game.
I thought he should have faked the drive and dished out to an open shooter. Looks like he was trying to do that but was swarmed before he could give it up.
If that was Manu and he was raked on the arm by Raja Bell like Wade was by Bruce, I'm fairly certain most of you would call it a foul.
If you knock the ball loose, then it's not a foul hitting the arm on the followthrough.

Shame he didn't hit the arm or else your agenda would have semi substinance.
the last play was a bad no call. i think it only started to make up for some of the obvious calls that helped the heat, but that should have been called a foul.
