Seems to me that...going back 3 years now...whoever that first swing off the bench is...plays better than the second...it's usually not shooting that decides it...it's defense.

You're argument is to waive Finley right now and play Barry how many minutes per game to bring him back up to NBA playoff effectiveness?

---

More than Finley lol.

Finley is a guy that's good enough to be on the court to let you down when it matters most...

Barry is a guy that you think is going to let you down when it matters most, even though he never does...so he doesn't get the minutes.

let me take a wild guess, whott supports the war in Iraq :rolleyes

Um...I didn't start ripping Finley profoundly until we were up 2-0 against the Jazz..when he was playing prettty well.

I am bashing him and predicting failure based entirely on my historical view of him..


But seriously...you guys are so fucking stupid that you don't see that no one plays well or consistently from that spot Pop has Barry in now...including Finley.


Now then...why don't you guys go bump some Devin Brown appreciation threads...and tell me who got owned.

Well Finley is shooting better and defending better, so....

How compelling.

That's excactly what he is right now...a choker who hasn't choked yet...this season.


That's the evil that is Michael Finley...he plays good enough to deserve to be on the court when it matters most...it's then he chokes.


See...Barry can choke and it will never register on the team's performance...

When Finley chokes, he's going to take enough shots to make it matter...at the worst possible time...Finley does not pass.


It's not hard to see Finley chokes when it matters most...all you have to do is watch his performances in the playoffs with the Mavs...he's a big reason they always choked.


Finley is the type of guy that will go 7-10 in a game 7...and all 3 of those misses will be in the final minute of the game...no passing...I don't care if Duncan is standing there screaming for the ball.

You didn't start this thread until we lost a game.

Right. Those 22 minutes per game are the only factor that could possibily determine victory or defeat. Nothing else.

So now we'll blame Pop too.

Now then...why don't you guys go bump some Devin Brown appreciation threads...and tell me who got owned.

Wow, whottt -- you must really be scurred. You've tried to change the subject four times now.

:hat

Right. Since I wasn't asking about choking and you changed the subject to choking....

In summary...Finley is the worst kind of choker...he's one that wants to take the last shot.

Finley's a class act through and through. Good for him to finally get his ring.

---

He hasn't gotten his ring yet, but he is a class act as you say. I've had the pleasure of meeting him and he is a great guy. Anything but a "cunt" as whottt tags him. :rolleyes

Sad shit around here.

I don't get why whottt is bitching and insulting him. Pretty lame, but fans are entitled to their opinions.

I love Michael Finley and am thrilled at the prospect of him getting a shot at a ring.

LMAO I am not even going to argue with you about whether or not he's a chucker...that's a silly argument.

That motherfucker is a bigger black hole than Malik with Duncan and Drob out of the game.

Just keep in mind...

timvp, Chump...

They had their tongues so far up Devin Brown's ass in 05, Devin's still smiling from it...


Meanwhile...

Devin Brown will never play for the Spurs again - Pop 2007.

2005 Title won...I think Devin's only PT was because Beno had to tie his shoelaces.

whott don't make me fuck you bitch and embarrass you

So Pop's opinion matters to you now?

Finley plays and Barry doesn't - Pop 2007.

It's ok whottt, I thought we could win with either Barry or Devin playing those minutes.

I even think we could win this year with Barry playing Fin's minutes.

I don't hate Barry and I wouldn't wish the Spurs to lose if he played.

Mike Finley fucked up my defending championship team and cost us a repeat last year.


Plus he's a Mav to the core to me.


Plus he cheapshooted Bowen...and whined like a bitch about him.




Seriously...Smitty was a class guy...do a forum search sometime and see how these same Finley defenders viewed him.

Personally I like Smitty better...at least you know he's going to choke...

Devin plays and Barry doesn't - Pop 2005...prior to Devin getting injured.

I traded Stever Kerr away before I traded to bring him back - Pop 2003

His(Oberto's) coach was stupid - Pop 2006

So we should never listen to Pop.

It's easy for whottt to win an argument when he takes both sides.

Hey Pop has his moments(of agreeing with me)...they usually result in championships...

Your defending championship team? OUR defending championship team. Like many others here on this board, I also buy tickets to games, merchandise and support this team in many ways.

Finley worked his ass off in last year's playoffs. I thought he did a very good job.

Like I said, you're entitled to your opinion, so I'll leave it at that.

Congratulations, coach.

Pop makes mistakes...but he eventually learns from them...unlike some.

Hedo was a class guy...didn't get him any slack.
Ditto Smitty



Were you even reading the forum earlier in the season when Finley was sucking, like, last month? Half these guys I am arguing with now were ripping him worse than I am.

Guys, guys, this is just an act.

As much as whottt's gonna deny it, he's just saying this shit so Finley doesn't choke, and whottt can take credit for it!

Book it.

I thought Finley played pretty well in the series against us as well.
