Bruce Bowen is a POS!!!

[Rab]

Exactly E.

Bowen is scum. Plain and simple. Why do Spurs fans keep defending this guy?

Because he is on their team and not hurting their players. We all scream and shout when Ginobili flops but applaud when Raja Bell does it.

I don't. I hate it.

Even so, Raja doesn't continually try to injure players by playing dirty.

(Kobe clothesline doesn't count, because that was just amazing and its only one instance )

And Raja apologized for it..eventually. Something bowen would never do

 

[Rab]

Bowen's a Christian. That gives him a free pass to be a prick, remember?

That I agree. Raja is not dirty.

Hubie was falling asleep or had an Alzheimers moment. Amare had no way of protecting his chest, he was already protecting the gonads that Bowen likes to hit so much. If he raised his forearm I guarantee you the refs would have called the foul on Amare.

I wouldn't be surprised Stern suspends some of our bench players that got up rather than Bowen.

 

[azdad1978]

Bowen is a douche. kicking Amare on his heels last year and throwing an elbow to Amare on that pick. He'll get his in the future by someone who won't tolerate his crap anymore

Since Pike will likely be entering retirement soon, I nominate him.

Seriously I've never seen Pike react negatively but something tells me he can take care of business. Besides to me he looks like the new James Bond.

AHAHAHAHA! You are so right!

False.


also, Oberto's flopping tonight was gross as well.

LOL "00Pike"

I don't know if he would qualify for the meet-in-parking-lot thing, but he'd be good for a cheap shot (i.e. putting a foot under Bowen after that guy took a 3, a knee in the groin, elbow to the nose... those sort of things).

 

[goldseraph]

I hate Bowen. I thought we should have sent a message this game, that we aren't soft anymore, that we will play dirty too if that's what it takes. I would have loved to see Bowen or Ginosili get thrown to the ground tonight, but we are too 'classy', sigh

So true, whatever sins he's commited in life, he'd get absolvated with the cult-like homage of the Spurs fans!

The issue is even aggrevated by the fact that the refs called moving screen on Amare when he only flexed his muscle a little in anticipation of Bowen crashing into him chasing Nash. So, Amare was holding back with his body protection measure to avoid the offensive foul call again. That's why Dirty Bowen's elbow there hurt so much.

I'm tempted to take that Bowen lover off of ignore just to see how s/he defends the latest cheap shot.

I actually think we did. Shaq fouled Duncan hard in the first quarter picking up his first foul. That was a good, hard foul. Duncan knew whats up. Also, Amare made a big deal out of that cheap shot by a cheap shot artist. I wish Shaq hit Bowen with his elbows 'unintentionally' when they double teamed him. Also, would love either Shaq or Amare to run over somebody when they set those picks. Just run through him like he is not even there.

 

[Cheesewater]

I just watched the 2nd half again.

For those of you playing the "Bruce Bowen is a Dirty S.O.B. Home Game"...check out a play with 3:57 to go in the 4th:

Bowen is chasing Steve Nash around the top of the Spurs key. Steve stops to pass in to Amare Stoudemire. Bowen whips his left leg around to trip Steve. Steve goes down hard but because the pass lands right to Amare and Amare subsequently dunks on Duncan, nobody notices the trip. Watch it. It is a leg whip plain and simple. Bowen's famous leg moves strike again.

As a Laker fan, I'm really afraid we'll see the Spurs in the playoffs.

Why? Cause they're a good team? Cause they might win? No, not at all..

Because my team has had a ton of injuries and I know that pile of human waste named Bowen, will target them. He'll be trying to hit Kobe's pinky, trying to get his feet under Bynum and Gasol, trying to kick Fishers sore foot, etc.

Bruce Bowen will resort to absolutely any tactic to win. He has no conscious at all about the people he hurts, none. I am also normally very much against cheering for a player to get hurt, but I sincerely hope for the sake of other players in the League that Bowen suffers an injury that finally makes him retire. The league apparently isn't going to stop him, so other teams should start head hunting his ass.

Fair is fair.

I watched that clip several times, that was a total cheap shot on Amare. I can't believe they keep letting him do this. He must have pictures of Stern and his secretary or something, because Stern is clearly afraid to put an end to it.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

If it wasn't Bruce Bowen, I'd have said it wasn't a big deal...it didn't look like much.

However, it was Bruce Bowen and he's proven dirty. So ef him.

I didn't see very much either. Since it is Bowen, so screw you Bruce Bowen.

 

[justAndy]

No matter how strong or packed w/ muscle you are, a shot to the short ribs - the lower 2 floating ones - HURTS.
Hello, league office! - The leg whip on Nash deserves a suspension.
If a guy did that at Encanto Park, he'd need a complete set of dentures the next day.
Soccer tactics in basketball suck!

YOu can see the play at the very end of the espn recap.

Its another one of the cases where Bowen plants his foot under an opposing player.
