Did you notice that while he shot well last night and was a contributor, he had no assists, rebounds, steals or blocks in 25 minutes. None, not 1 even by accident. Just an observation.

You can't argue when a guy has 19 points in a 32 point blowout. I don't care. :lol

OMG, let's just cut him right now.

Bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch.

It's freaking December!

Doing what he was hired to do.

yep, that's pretty damn weird.

Finley is above all a scorer, but his some of his stats as a Spur are well down from his career numbers.

Also, for 30 mins in the Bucks game, he has almost nothing to show for it.
Oh, Gee!!

If he has a couple of game-changing plays or series-changing games in the playoffs, he'll be worth his price tag. Same thing goes for NVE

Yeah, I did. And I put it down to a guy who's standing around the perimeter waiting for the ball to shoot. I suppose that's his role, but you'd think he'd want to get in the fray somehow.

If it continues, rather than a one time statistical anomaly, I'll get a little peeved.

If the Spurs can ask Bruce this year to help more on RBs,
then Michael should be listening in. :)

It's only a couple games, and he's done great filling in for Manu.

I mean didn't he just get through back-to-back double rebound games?

I expect his assist and rebound numbers to be down from his career across the board due to how he is being used. The point is watch the games. It's easy to tell if Finley is doing what he supposed to be doing.

Finley's primary role on this team is to provide scoring off the bench. He's not going to replace Manu's game while he's filling in. Sure, it's not desirable that he have more games without providing anything else besides scoring, but that's not likely. And he has certainly contributed in other areas thusfar this season.

Whoa, for a second I thought I stepped into a Mavs forum circa 2004...

The rebounding beingdown couldnt be because hes playing with a PF who actually rebounds in double digits.

Could it?

bitch bitch bitch bitch.

Hmmm... PF on the Spurs that rebounds?

does the name Tim Duncan ring a bell shorty?


19 points, leading scorer of the team, obviously those two traits JUST dont carry the weight they used to anymore.
