Is this guy a flat out dirty player? Game 4 against Seattle, Bowen for no reason blatantly elbows Brent Barry in the chest. Could have been suspended. Earlier in the year, Bowen jumps to contest a shot by Sczerbiak and kicks him right in the grill. Gets suspended for one game. Today, he jumps to contest a shot by Bryant and kicks him in the knee. Granted, it looked unintentional, but the guy is making a habit of these accidents. What kind of defender kicks his feet out when he's jumping to contest a shot? It's similar to the way Karl Malone leads with his knees on his drives to the hoop. Very awkward, but is it calculated?
I don't know where Bowen went to college, but he's a scrub. It gives me satisfaction to know Bowen and the Spurs will be out of the playoffs next Sunday.
