do you guys think that the vince carter technical was fair during the spurs games. it was obiviously the factor in this game why the nets are losing( and are proabably gunna lose about 45 sec left) and its sorof obivios vince was gunna drop 50 and the nets were gunna proabably win. i think it was sordof unfair i think that the refs should of just let it go he really didnt do anything
it is true what they say bruce bowen is a dirty player. this isnt the first time. he has dont this a lot of times. i remember what he did to mike finley last year in a game. hes a dirty player, unlike rodman he gets away wit things. the nets were goin to win. that eject call was crap
Bruce Bowen didnt really do anything wrong. He was playin tough defense and got tangled up. I dont think vince carter should've been ejected but he did overreact.
Didn't Bowen try to get under him with the foot again, he did it last year to Vince, that was what caused him to miss most of his time last season, the Bruce Bowen attack.
Actually both of them should have been ejected. Remember last year when Kurt Thomas got ejected for headbutting Josh Howard? Well both of them headbutted each other and they stayed. This season Officials are RIDICULOUS
Anytime Bruce Bowen does that, he should get a flagrant foul automatically. It's an obvious dirty, unnecessary physical play. You just can't let a defensive player do that.
Him and Vince go back 3-4 years...I don't care if the tangle up with the legs was intentional or not, Bowen should be ejected with Carter if they choose to eject VC. It's all Popvic's fault...he whispered "do something to stop Vince" in Bruce's ear before that play.

I do not think that there is anything any ref can do to make Bowen cut that tip-step that he does. I have to admit that he does an extremly good job of acting. He seems simply place his leg right where the player is going to land, but it seems so slight that you have to really train your eyes to it. I don't blame the refs. I think that it is entirely unsportsmanlike conduct from Bowen: yes, it is his job to stop a player from scoring, but I do not think that it is at all fair for him to stop someone by injuring them or trying to make the oppenent scared of getting injured. I think that the only way to get some sense into Bowen is to have someone do the same exact thing to him and in effect injure him. I think that the league needs to take notice of Bowen's play and maybe make the ref aware of it, so that further injuries do not occur.
bowen undercutting him last year, and the trip this year, was obviously on purpose. No player (unless bowen is THAT dumb) will run his legs into someone's else legs while he is coming down, just to get up the floor. And the leg slide from last year was so obvious. There is no reason why a person would need to stick his leg out that way (under vince), for the following action (turning his head). that block on bowen by carter was NASTY. thanks og.
Bruce Bowen should be banned from the NBA if he keeps doing this on purpose. I don't understand how Vince got ejected when he did nothing wrong. The only call that should have been made was a technical and flagrant on Bowen and nothing on Vince.
Are you kidding? It's a rule that if you headbutt you're automatically ejected for doing that. They should both be suspended too!

i was just wondering. u get ejected after getting two technicals rite? vince and bowen both got technicals for the head butt. then that other incident they also got both technicals, so why did vince only get ejected <font color="Red">Please do not double post, next time use the Edit button located at the bottom of your post, thanks- Henacy</font>
