Wasn't it just a couple of years ago the Spurs were called too soft?  Make up your mind already!  All roads in this area lead to Bruce Bowen.  It’s funny how a handful of incidents between one of the best perimeter defenders and some of the highest profile players in the league make an entire team dirty. 

These players that accuse Bowen of being a dirty player just are not used to being hounded for 35 plus minutes a night.  The league has reviewed every single incident and ruled that every single one except for one was incidental.  Ironically, the one that they did uphold was one that CP3 "flopped" on. 

He sold it, the league bit, and Bruce got suspended. I guess that just makes for a interesting plot in the upcoming series. 

The reason people hate the Spurs is just their ability to win championships.  Why do people hate the Yankees or the Patriots?  People who don't have success seem to be jealous of those that do.  I think we may have to revisit the argument of the Spurs dynasty.  The fact that everybody "hates" the Spurs just proves that the Spurs are the dynasty of the 2000's.
