<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Bruce Bowen has had a belly-full of it. Mavericks coach Don Nelson's outbursts -- first in post-game interviews Friday, then in Sunday's Dallas Morning News -- accused the San Antonio Spurs forward of dirty play. It's the third time this season an opponent has made such remarks. "It's really motivated me to the point where (if) you thought I was tenacious before, it's going to a whole new level. Because that's the only way I can get my piece out," Bowen said in a telephone interview Monday night. Nelson told the Morning News he was disappointed Bowen wasn't suspended for what the coach believes was a dirty play. "You can put me down now as one of the many who have called him dirty," Nelson told the newspaper. "I've never cast an aspersion toward Bruce Bowen -- but he's a dirty player. And I'll remember it. I'm shocked he wasn't suspended." Both Bowen and Michael Finley were called for fouls after exchanging elbows in the Spurs' 113-100 win over Dallas. Finley and Nelson were ejected for arguing the call. Earlier this season, Vince Carter and Ray Allen each said that Bowen was deliberately playing outside the rules. Monday, Bowen fired back. He said that Finley initiated the contact that led to his forearm jab into Finley's chest. </div> http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=1754585 If one guy comes foward then we can think "Maybe he is but he plays hard thats all", and then another guy comes foward and then another. Is everyone just ganging up on BB or are they just telling the truth?
Bowen is a dirty player, right up there with Karl Malone. Nobody is ganging up on him, they're just stating facts. I blame Bowen for injuring Carter and creating Toronto's 9 game losing streak. Why doesn't he try out for UFC and see what kind of tough guy he is.
