Is Ryan Bown hurt? Whats the deal with the restricted minutes on Ryan Bowen over the last few games? I also noticed that he had a limp last night but was still getting after it like a banchi....that guy brings it every night and leaves it ALL on the floor.
Ryan Bwen seems less effective given more minutes. As frenetic as he is, possibly he tires quickly. Also, Irk seems to 'figure him out" a bit. Bwen seems best used as an alternative to McGrady, not a stand-alone option. And if he's not covering Irk, there's really no reason for him to be on the floor, given his offensive ineptitude. It's also worth noting that Bwen can't really play with Deke. Putting them together would reduce our offensive options to 3...which isn't really enough at all.
Agreed, Haven--No-Wits-Ski seemed to be less and less bothered by Bowen. He's great in small spurts--just let him go all-out for a few minutes and at least try to help wear Dirk down a bit.
Did Ryan Bowen not look like a pogo stick after he converted that lay-up and got fouled? You just knew he would end up on the ground.
Bowen also has been blowing easy fast break opportunities or easy looks in the paint because he can't handle passes from TMac.
Padgett tires quickly, I think Padgett is our worst defender. And I don't think he's hurt, he does his swagger walk, cause he's Ryan Bowen. One bad Mother Fu*ker.
Padgett is not a good defender but he is there to spread the defense just a bit to make them come guard him a bit since Bowen won't shoot Dirk just plays low in a zone and bothers our other players...if Padgett hits a couple of those open looks Dirk gives him around the 3 point range he is doing his job....
I don't think Dirk has figured him out. As a matter of fact when JVG brought him into the game last night he had a significant impact on Dirk. He got taken to the locker room back in game 2 or 3 (can't remember) and hasn't played much since then. Maybe its just coincidence maybe not. I did see him with what appeared to be a limp last night though...
That limp is sorta how he always runs..i haev noticed that all year..it's a weird gimpy limp or something lol
I think Bowen plays his best in small spurts. He is a high energy guy so his effectiveness is lost if he has to play 30+ mins. However, if he only plays like 15 mins then he can cause some havoc and give it his all on the defensive end guarding Dirk.
Dude, he can't even handle having the ball in his hands, period! He is hilarious to watch though, his whole body movement and lack of body control (and panicky demeanor) is quiet a comedy show. I just start to uncontrollably laugh whenever I see him run. R2K, if you have a video where you can zoom in on Bowen running without the ball, please post it. It is hilarious
Nobody has figured him out, I think he is such a good defensive player because opponents break out in laughter whenever they see him on the court Sorry, couldn't resist
Haha, you guys have been fooled by Rybo. Rybo isn't hurt. The master mind of Rybo fakes limping to make the opponents relax. The dorky haircut of Rybo is the cover for his profound intelligence. The shooting ineptitude is a disguise of his marksmanship. Like all masters, Rybo the son of Rambo will reveal his true self when it matters the most. Come game 7 the new NBA superstar Rybo launches a surprise attack and goes gaga on the Mavs a$$. Rybo, with 53 points, 17 rebounds and 12 blocks on Dirk the Dork, rips Cuban's MFFL T-shirt to threads, stuffs them into Stern's stupid mouth, and leads the Rockets past the Mavs 577-9!
If Rybo score 53 and the file score is 577-9. Who's going to score the remaining 524 points? Bad logic
