It was supposed to be about Bruce Bowen's dirty defense vs. Ray Allen's sweet shot. But Bowen, while frustrating Allen once again, made an equal impact at the offensive end. Including an unchallenged 3-pointer at the buzzer, Allen outscored Bowen 21-14. But their matchup effectively was a push because Bowen was far more efficient, needing only seven shots to get his 14 while Allen took 19. It is evident Bowen messes with Allen's head with a lock-down defensive approach Allen insists is dirty. There has been some nastiness between the two in the past, and Allen refused Wednesday to soften his assertion that Bowen crosses the line with aggressive defensive tactics.

Ray's gotta learn how to play beyond this. I bet before he broke a sweat, he was looking for Bruce to do something so he can say "see what I mean?". Continuously complaining to the media makes him look like a chump. Think....if someone is in your head that much, you need to use good ball movement and screens to get free. The Sonics have been looking anything but stellar against the Mavs and Spurs. At least in the Spur game they tried to establish some pride though.
Here's a tip for Timmy-MVP-21.Use the quote button,don't post the whole thing and post the link. Anyway,I'm sick of Ray complainning to the media like a sissy.Bowen is a great defender.If Ray thinks that way just take it like a man and next time they meet play better.Just stop complainning.
