The real player to thank for putting the Mavs on the brink like this............

[KaiRMD1]

Michael Finley. If he hadn't left, don't know if we would have stood a chance against the Mavs so thanks Michael, thanks for leaving, we can finally beat the Mavs:flag:

-_-

*sigh*

[DAF86]

Finley would probably be taking minutes away from Manu, Parker, Hill and Jefferson, so yeah, I kind of agree.

[Buddy Holly]

So glad Finley isn't on this team anymore.

[alchemist]

:elephant

[flame]

I whole heartedly agree. Cheers to you good sir :toast

Also - stop stealing my avatar =)

The guy who saw two straight DNPCDs before being released?

Interesting.

[senorglory]

Hey, man, Finley contributed a good deal to the Spurs success during his time. Show some respect.

[wut]

I hate to be a ....hater...but yeh I kinda agree. Spurs were finally able to get a solid lineup after they got rid of Finley, and Hill was able to take these minutes.

I think the thing is ...Hill and RJ don't fit well with Finley; so lineup-wise it was a nightmare because Finley really isn't a starter anymore.

It's no disrespect to Finley he's a solid backup at this point in his career as a spot up shooter; he just no longer fit in San Antonio.

Interesting.

Yeah but would you even want to risk Pop putting him in there even for a couple of minutes?

You never know with Pop.

[greyforest]

dude hes gone u guys can stop making michael finley hate threads now

[DDS4]

:td

Dude. Let it go.

[EricB]

Yeah but would you even want to risk Pop putting him in there even for a couple of minutes?

You never know with Pop.
You don't but, damn, Mason doesn't see minute 1.

Bogans only saw what, 5 minutes in the last 3 games?

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Win it for Finley!

[ffadicted]

I came in this thread ready to give Dice some huge props, I'm pretty disappointed in this same lulz attempt

[Fabbs]

Funny because it's true. :toast

And T_Parkle stop, just stop. We are still seeing much too much of the third member of Pops love triangle, that being BonBon and his continued 21% shooting. No question Popped continues to play Finley large minutes if their marriage/affair had continued.

[Shaolin-Style]

I don't like saying it but I did feel he didn't fulfill his part this season, I was relieved to see him go but I'm still grateful for his good years.

[Spurologist]

He wanted out so good riddance.....can't deny that he contributed to our last championship....he came up huge at times for us

[JWest596]

Are you going to rag about Malik Rose being gone too?, Ratliff? or whoever? Finley was a great Spur, a gentleman but he's gone. He's been gone. And I'll take and respect the way Pop does things over this asinine waste of time.

Finley hate threads in the middle of the PO's!?!?

good grief

[duhoh]

he wanted to sign with a contender :D

[NFGIII]

He's gone so I think it's about time for everyone to just let it go. He knew his PT was going into the toilet and wanted out so he can play. The Finley experiment was over and anyone that thinks that Pop was going to reinsert him into the lineup for any significant minutes is just plain idiotic. Pop may be stubborn to a fault but he isn't stupid. It was painfully obvious that Finley had lost a tep or two and was toast.

I for one thought that he over stayed his welcome. Damn that player option for his last year but the Spurs did give him a year on top of that IIRC. But when he first came here he was a very good role player and actually won some games for us. By mid '08 he was starting to show his age and the concerns began. Enough.

Let's concentrate on what is ahead of us rather than looking back to the past. This could be a very exciting and rewarding ride for the Spurs. They are peaking at the right time and the D that we've all come to know from their championship runs is returning.

[TD 21]

I'll preface this by saying that I'm not at all putting the Mavericks losing this series (should they) on Nowitzki, but once again he showed what a loser he really is. Their season was basically on the line with a possession with about two minutes left, they needed a score to realistically win the game, he get's Hill on him on a switch and instead of backing him down and or waiting for the double or scoring at or near the rim, he presumes to rush his shot and shoot a fall away jumper that missed. Typical.

[suitedkings]

what do you mean finally?

[timtonymanu]

Another Finley thread.

This Finley talk has turned into a Bring Back Bruce level.

[KaiRMD1]

Fine, I'll let it go

[4>0rings]

Next up, Bonner and Bogans.

[MateoNeygro]

dude hes gone u guys can stop making michael finley hate threads now

Agree, was this thread necessary? I enjoyed having Fin on the team but I guess I'm glad he's not taking minutes from Hill or anybody else for that matter.
