[T Park]

Finley 20 points 7 of 10 shooting.


Trade him :rolleyes

[T Park]

You jinxed him

(taps chest)

My bad.

[milkyway21]

Michael Finley missed 1st of 2 Free Throws

i didn't know FT shooting is contagious :lmao

[T Park]

20-6


pop has screaming material for tommarow's practice.


Another playing down to the opponent game.

[ShoogarBear]

55% shooting and won by 6. :lol

[milkyway21]

Finley 20 points 7 of 10 shooting.


Trade him :rolleyesFinley sucks :lmao

[Amarelooms]

Do you guys still want Finley traded? :lol

Fools gold if you think Finley is going to be a go to person or win games come playoff time...you're in for a surprise. He's washed up partner. He'll have one good game every 5 games if you're lucky.

[Manu20]

Is weird to see the Spurs win games because of their offense instead of defense.


Finley 5-6 from three point land :tu

[T Park]

if you think Finley is going to be a go to person or win games come playoff time

beat the Mavericks by himself in game 6 last year.


God i hate trolls.

[dimsah]

Spurs deserved to lose this game. When will they learn to stop letting these scrub-fuck
teams back in the game?

[SequSpur]

Spurs fucking ROCK!

[ChumpDumper]

I miss Mavtalk.

[angel_luv]

This settles it. No more leaving games when I get cut in the restaurant. I left at the half of the Philly game too. :oops Sorry Spurs.

Glad the boys got the win. :)

[T Park]

When will they learn to stop letting these scrub-fuck

If they win these games, and win the games in the playoffs the same way, does it matter?

[dg7md]

Guess you fell asleep watching him and Duncan bring the Dallas/SA series to 7 games.

[Manudona]

Now... Finley just got the hang out of the new ball in time for it's replacement :D Will he suck again in January? :rolleyes

[SequSpur]

Don't worry, you have no effect on the scoreboard.

:nope

God i hate trolls.

HHAHAHAHAHA good one....how many points he give up on D with his solid D? Love how SPurs fans ripped Finley when he was younger and so much better as a Mav but now he's on the Spurs and he's the man. So sad homers.... :ihit

[T Park]

Finley has shot the ball markedly better lately.


Finley played so well, I don't think Barry played more than 2 mins all second half.

[milkyway21]

Do you guys still want Finley traded? :lolPops respects Finley's game, IMO. And he's stubborn, there won't be a trade anytime soon.

[T Park]

i jack off to cuban porn

[ChumpDumper]

He's a $3 million backup.

Mission accomplished

[dknights411]

A bit closer than I thought, but a W is a W.

Can't picture that Pop will be pleased about these past two games however. I wonder what he'll say at tommorow's practice.

[boutons_]

"Bowen with an amazing play there."

he fouled him on the wrist.

[spursfaninla]

I hate to say I predicted this, but I put my money where my mouth is.

Sure, I didn't say anything beforehand, per se, but I did bet that they wouldn't cover the spread.

It was so predictable; almost christmas, playing a beaten-down team, been cruising to wins easily...a letdown was inevitable, and though I didn't think they would lose, I figured it would come down to the wire. Which it did.

Of course, when push comes to shove, the Spurs just have more fire-power than these crumpets.

Pao is a shell of his true self. I don't know why they have him out there.

[SequSpur]

Without Bowen and Parker, this team would be in another city.

[angel_luv]

Don't worry, you have no effect on the scoreboard.

:nope

But didn't get caught. :)

[dimsah]

If they win these games, and win the games in the playoffs the same way, does it matter?My point being that by playoff time this kind of shit shouldn't be happening so they need to get it worked out.
Memphis is a bad team. Philly was a bad team. What is this really teaching the Spurs? How to conquer adversity? They should already have learned that lesson.

And as I said earlier in the thread.

I'm not in the mood for a nail biter

[dknights411]

HHAHAHAHAHA good one....how many points he give up on D with his solid D? Love how SPurs fans ripped Finley when he was younger and so much better as a Mav but now he's on the Spurs and he's the man. So sad homers.... :ihit

Takes one to know one.

[dknights411]

Without Bowen and Parker, this team would be in another city.

Um, what? The franchise's future was secured in 2000 when they approved to build the AT&T Center, before Bowen or Parker. If anyone gets credit for saving the Spurs, it's Duncan and Robinson.

[T Park]

:lol

just noticed Chump has the Atlanta Hawks as his favorite team

[ChumpDumper]

Why didn't James White play?

[T Park]

playoffs are almost 5 months away, simmer down.

[loveforthegame]

Fools gold if you think Finley is going to be a go to person or win games come playoff time...you're in for a surprise. He's washed up partner. He'll have one good game every 5 games if you're lucky.

Finley isn't a go to guy here. He's a role player expected to give effort on defense and hit the shots he's given.

[SequSpur]

Why didn't James White play?

Who?

[spursfaninla]

When you put in your second team, you are going to have teams come back on you.

Our bench is not very good. Oberto is ok, and Barry and Fin can score. Our second unit consists of essentually 2 good sg and a decebt backup center, with a bad pg and a practically washed up pf to throw in. The defense of our second unit has MUCH to be desired.

[milkyway21]

[spursfaninla]

Chump is pretty funny.

[boutons_]

Perfect symmetry, Spurs first team to 20W, Grizz first team to 20L.

Chucky Atkins is my favorite little bitch balla. :)

Jazz almost lost to Hawks, but Memo hit a dagger 3 to redeem himself from losing the game @Knicks.

Pretty much true.

Maybe now that Finley isn't sucking as much he can start and Manu can come off the bench again. Without Manu coming off the bench, the Spurs bench is pretty horrible.

[T Park]

screw that where was Julius Nwosu

[SequSpur]

Argentina had 6 turnovers during that Memphis run.

[dimsah]

playoffs are almost 5 months away, simmer down.
I know that. I don't like watching my team, who I know is lights-out better than their opponent, drop a 17 and 19 point lead respectively to inferior teams.
This isn't the Denver Nuggets.

[spursfaninla]

we are damn lucky we are hitting at such a high percentage...we have no business beating a team who shoots over 50%.

They killed us in points in the paint. Its because we hit a billion 3 pters that we won.

This team is a bad rebounding team and we were about equal. That is not what I call a good sign, either.

a forgettable win.

[T Park]

Maybe now that Finley isn't sucking as much he can start and Manu can come off the bench again

We know that aint happening.

Ginobili loves starting way too damn much wich makes no sense

[dknights411]

Pretty much true.

Maybe now that Finley isn't sucking as much he can start and Manu can come off the bench again. Without Manu coming off the bench, the Spurs bench is pretty horrible.

The key to our bench is how effective Robert Horry is. As soon as he becomes effective again, then our bench will be ok (although I think we're pretty deep already, but oh well).

Dude, we haven't seen them play with AI yet!

[Amarelooms]

i didn't know juvenile fans are allowed to post here:lmao

Wow good comeback....knew you'd have no response. 3 years ago Finley SUCKED and now Finley is the man cause he plays for the mighty Spurs lol. Guess we'll find out come playoff time which team is better again :ihit

[milkyway21]

that 3rd->early 4th Qtrs are pretty much scary.

almost a collapse...

Go Suns!

:wakeup

[milkyway21]

Finley didn't win this game single-handedly for the Spurs. There was Bowen, Parker and that last minute pass from Manu.


Team effort.

[spursfaninla]

The key to our bench is how effective Robert Horry is. As soon as he becomes effective again, then our bench will be ok (although I think we're pretty deep already, but oh well).

We have beno and vaghn as backup pg's, which means we have 2 3rd stringers trying to hold things together while tony rests.

We have no backup sf, which means we either burn bowen too long or we put a sg in instead, hence our bad rebounding (not that Bowen is an even average rebounding sf...)

Horry is having a terrible year. I don't know how much he has left, if any, and he is our only viable backup pf unless we burn Elison more than we should and put in Oberto at backup C with him.

Its not like Horry was tearing it up last year, either. I remember he won us a game or 2 last year during the regular season, but he was quiet for the post season, which is where we need him most anyway.

I think our bench scores ok IF fin and barry are hitting. If not, it has no redeaming qualities. Other teams like DALLAS have a GREAT bench...I'm afraid we are going to have to run our first team for heavy minutes in the playoffs to keep our 2nd unit from getting murdered by theirs.

[ChumpDumper]

We have benoWe do?

[timvp]

It didn't help that Brent Barry was playing like the playoffs started.

[spursfaninla]

well, the spurs do. I personally don't.



:drunk

[T Park]

que a 5 page rant by whottt

[spursfaninla]

how about 18 and 10 for parker? That doesn't suck.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Argentina had 6 turnovers during that Memphis run.
huh?

[T Park]

He means Ginobili.

[Man Mountain]

Mavs starters (dirk, howard, terry, harris, dampier) account for 77.3 of their 98 ppg. Spurs starters (tim/tony/manu/bowen/elson) account for 66.9 of their 100 ppg.

Seems like the Spurs have a better scoring bench.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

He means Ginobili.
It says on the boxscore he had only one TO

I remember Tim and Bowen and the whole team dropping the ball into the third.

[ChumpDumper]

Mavs starters account for 76.5 of their 97 ppg. Spurs starters (tim/tony/manu/bowen/elson) account for 66.9 of their 100 ppg.

Seems like the Spurs have a better scoring bench.SHUT UP!

Sunfan said Mavs are better!

[ducks]

spur fans are spoiled they think they should win by 20 each game now that the spurs have lately

[dknights411]

I think Beno has shown signs this year that he is a 2nd stringer. He just needs to work on his confidence.

As for our lack of an SF, I think that's attributed to Horry's slow start even though that, surprisingly, his rebounding totals are actually a bit higher than last year. One could argue that Horry just needs to find his offensive groove again, then he'll be fine.

The X-factor on our bench, though, is Matt Bonner. I don't know why Pop hasn't given him more playing time, but we need the Red Rocket to step up. Maybe it's just me, but he could really help out big time if given the chance.

[ChumpDumper]

THE SONICS ARE KILLING--

ah never mind.

[T Park]

jsut saw dirk get the ugliest ankle injury ive ever seen.

That was painfull to watch.

Yuck....

[T Park]

Seattle up 11...

[T Park]

now seattle playing stupid..

Lord..

[boutons_]

Seattle is a funny team, I've seen play a good as I've seen them play bad. Mavs might be surprised, but I doubt it.

[dknights411]

:bang

That's still enough to jinx it right there.

[ChumpDumper]

Why does that BOD spray for men come in car wax spray bottles?

[T Park]

Its cool to wax yourself I guess...

[spursfaninla]

according to spurs website:
(rounded)

Well, that 100 pt average has 3 coming from williams and butler. do you see them scoring that much outside of the combined 9 games they have played?

lets look at 4 or 5 of the last few games to get a sense of how the bench is doing recently:

phil: fin scored 14, and barry put in 6. Outside of those two, the bench scored 8 pts.

at the hornets, bench scores 42, BUT it was a blowout so its hard to weigh that correctly.

at the Clipps, barry and fin combine for 30. The rest of the bench scores 9 pts.

Against LaL, Manu from the bench scores 23 and Fin starting scores 6. Oberto and Elison combine for like 4 pts. The bench (if you count fin rightfully as the bench) scores 21 pts in the loss.

Looking at Dallas, their big 3 are combining for over 60 ppg, terry is good for another 15...they DO actually rely heavily on their starters, BUT THEY DON"T HAVE TO.

[ChumpDumper]

they DO actually rely heavily on their starters, BUT THEY DON"T HAVE TO.:lol

Where's the stat for that?

[milkyway21]

He means Ginobili.i can't think of any other reason why Sequ find it hard to say Ginobili or simply Manu but prefer Argentina when there are 2 of them in the team. Bec I noticed that when one can't say a guy's name it means she has a crush on him or loves his game. Is it possible that Sequ now loves Manu's game? :married:

hey Sequ , Peace!

It's Xmas :santahat :lol

X-mas is far into the future:

Santa Bot was created by the Momcorp subsidary Mom's Friendly Robot Co. to determine who had been naughty and nice, and distribute presents accordingly. Unfortunately, Santa's standards were set too high and he invariably finds everyone to be naughty (except Dr. Zoidberg). He then stalks the streets, hunting down the naughty people and kicking some naughty ass with his arsenal of high-powered weaponry. In the future everyone stays inside after sundown on Xmas Eve unless they have a death wish, as the suicide booths all have long queues at that time of the year.

In the year 3000, Santa Bot was foiled in his dastardly plans by the Planet Express crew, though he vowed to come back when they least expected it (next Xmas).

The following year, Bender had to take Santa Bot's place after he was frozen by the aformentioned Planet Express crew. Unfortunately, the people of Earth were not aware that the new Santa was a friendly robot, and Bender had a hard time staying out of trouble.
