alfdogg 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2004 Link~ I, for one, don't see how those stats are ubstantiated. It's not that hard to compile that. And I've known several players (Ray Allen and Michael Finley to name a couple) to talk about or react to Bowen's tactics. We'll find out in the finals, though. Discuss.

I hope (but doubt) Bowen accepts his challenge. Its not really fair though, because Artest can actually score and handle the ball while Bowen can...well... shoot threes from the corner. If he takes a step in, he shoots an airball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does it bother you that right now, the Bulls realistically could have had Brad Miller, Elton Brand, Ron Artest and Jamal Crawford on the court with there starting squad. I mean, as a suns fan, I know I shouldn't be picking at any other GM, but goddamn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razazteca 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2004 You would think a comment on Pop's own radio talk show would not be taken so seriously, but now Artest is demanding a One-on-One game with Bruce Bowen to see who is the best! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Redhawk Report post Posted April 29, 2004 Remember the play when Vince Carter shot a three, and Bowen kinda slid under him so that when Vince came down he landed on Bowen's foot and rolled his ankle? Stuff like that is why even nice guys like Ray Allen want to smack Bowen. Artest is rough, definitely, but not dirty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2004 This is all much ado about nothing. Artest won and he deserves it. Right now, I bet Artest would love to have what Bowen won last year:an NBA Championship Ring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, as a suns fan, I know I shouldn't be picking at any other GM, but goddamn. Very much so, that bothers me. However, I doubt those guys could have truly shown off there talents like they have on there teams right now. The Bulls organization doesn't look like a place where young talent can truly develop, unfortunately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted April 30, 2004 I will always gladly bash the Bulls, but remember that the Clips gave Brand a maximum contract, which he is most certainly not worth. I think they should keep Chandler and dump Curry myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted April 30, 2004 he's a great rebounder, a good scorer in the post, and an ok shot blocker, and he's small. Shareef got a max contract for puting up 20 and 10 on a crappy team too, I think we can agree he's not worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
