who do you think is the dpoy? bowen or ak47

me, bowen he locks down opponents star every night...

after what he did to dirk the last tym... he should bag that award...

Where is Tim Duncan? I would go TD.

come on carmo, your an asshole

No mention of Marion?

marion is a great defender but do you think he is a greater defender than bowen...

ak on the other hand blocks 8 i think 3 to 4 times now, and as of late he contibues to swat shots...

come on carmo, your an asshole

lol, in all seriousness though I think Marion should get it. However, I reckon Gerald Wallace would've been a certainty if he didn't get injured.

Gereld Wallace or Andrei Kirilenko either or.

Gerald Wallace, no dispute. First player in a billion years* to average 2spg/2bpg... though I think he's dropped in spg.

*Slight exaggeration.

Matrix doesn't deserve it, he plays for the Suns who give up like 100 ppg

G Dub no doubt about it. Although I dont know if he qualifies becoz hes missed a fair few games.

Bruce Bowen. He definitely deserves it.

anyone seen Bruce Bowen holding onto Kobe tonight all the time, he does it in a way that refs cant see.....but

Ben Wallace!!!!! just the 5th player in NBA history to log 6 consecutive season of 100+ steals and 100+ blocks.

Bowens a good defender, but not on a consistent basis. He gets roasted by guys like Melo and Carter sometimes.

I have to agree that Gerald Wallace is a sleeper candidate. He's got a ton of hustle and the stats speak for themselves.

I hope Kirilenko wins it though... He'll be the guy I'm rooting for.

aldrin, seriously... if its not a homer duncan post its a homer spurs post in general...

heres a homer post to have a good tug over

BEN WALLACE FOR DPOTY

team records will play a part....that's why G Wall stands no chance

Despite being a Spurs fan, I kinda dislike Bowen. I mean he's good for the team and he definitely has his niche but his style is dirty plus he mostly just leads his opponent to the great defensive frontcourt that the Spurs have.

I'm an AK47 fan though so I'm a little biased.

Matrix doesn't deserve it, he plays for the Suns who give up like 100 ppg

So? They would give up a lot less if they didn't score so quickly.

I'm going to go with Bruce Bowen,
but Ben Wallace isn't far behind.

Since stats usually sway the voters, I'd go with Ben Wallace over Bruce Bowen.

AK47 if he stays healthy thru the rest of the season..
Bowen is up there, but i think ben wallace might get this b/c hes on the league's best team this season..

That's a matter of opinion.

what about the league leading shot blocker marcus camby?

missed too many games.....probably down to Bowen & Benji since neither has had time off.

Hmm Bowen limites superstar players and Wallace is nothing but a defensive monster. As stats may matter I'd go with Wallace but Bowen will be for sure in All NBA Defensive team.
