Bowen has not really shut down any of the players I mentioned. He just makes them work... constantly. He is aggravating. I cant think of another player I would rather have on Lebron. Bowen does not have to worry about offense like others who are assigned to cover the stars. Lebron will get points. Many. Just got to make him work his tail off.

I guarantee you Lebron will not get two straight dunks going the same way in the last 50 seconds of a game though. You will not see the Spurs all staring each other "who was supposed to help" like Detroit. He will have to go to the line. He will be met before he goes airborne in the last 50 seconds. That was absolutley horrible team defense by Detroit in the last part of regulation of game 5.

Lebron is way too strong for Bowen to handle alone. Alone... who can handle him alone? I would not be suprised to see Parker pester him out high occasionally if he brings the ball up at the end of a game. Detroit had no speed to stay with him and at least pester. The Spurs do.
