Did you read the last line of the story? He'll lose $373,000 by not playing! Unbelievable!

Means Billups will get off that last shot without Bowen kneeing him in the nuggets

About time he got that.

Honestly, I don`t think Bowen is a game changer when these teams hook up anyway.

So, big deal!

I have tried to erase June 23rd, 2005 from my archives, but if my memory serves correct, Bowen did get a key block of a Billups trey shot in crunch time that would have brought us within two of tying but instead lead to a Spurs score on the other end. ...ending any hope of a back2back ring ceremony in the palace..

500 game streak is stopped and look at the infraction.....also CP3 was called for an offensive foul????

YouTube - Bowen kicks Paul in 500th consecutive game

Dixon will get lit up by someone (likely Michael Finley). Amir will barely play. Max will and someone will overwhelm him with their height (likely Bonner).

Theo will play, and be OK, but not enough to warrant the PT he gets.

Afflalo will not play. The starters will all play 35+ min including Dyess who will likely shoot 2-10. Hayes will shoot just as bad.

Sheed will try to do too much and his ankle won't allow it. We will lose. We will get lit up by one of the followin; Duncan/Ginnobli.

The Spurs are coming off getting blown out by the Hornets, and losing Bowen to suspension. They will be pissed.

Flip will "coach"

I really want to be wrong. I love beating the Spurs. It's good for the soul.

This could just happen.
But Spurs are not the same this season for whatever reason. Yeah, they are still the elite, and the defending champs, but seems like something is missing.

They always peak the right time.

You are probably correct Dre, however, Bowen doesn`t put any fear in me that a Duncan, Parker or Ginobili does.

Those three cause the real problems for us!

Its an even year...they will lose in the second round or third and come back and win it one more time in 2009 as pop bows out with a satisfied five rings, not like the obsessed Riles and Jackson who are trying to steal more rings with supastar playas who would get the refs supastar calls > Jordan, Magic, Kobe, Shaq, Jabbar, Worthy Wade,Pippen......

oops sorry for ranting, Pistons show up tonight and prove that the east can beat the best of the west
