And the only reason it doesn't bother you guys...is because he came to this team. If he'd done it to us...you guys would have come down on him just as bad as the MavFans.
Oh...and dude, if you are going to call people stupid and insult their "analogy" make sure you have the brains to keep track of the subject of your own sentences, stupid....Smitty choked in 02....I am not stupid becuase you didn't know that. You are...
Well since we are playing in the finals i figured if you were going to make an analogy it would be of his play in the finals. im sorry if your analogy is still stupid. oh i never said you were stupid i said you are being stupid and there is a difference.Quote:

Oh and you are still pessimistic and surly even if Jim was mean to you in the past.

He(Smitty) choked against the Lakers in 02...had you been a fan then, you would know that...and not have confused it with 03...stupid.
And if you could keep track of the subject of your own damn sentences, you'd know that you were asking a question about Smitty, not Finley, which I then answered, stupid.
I didn't say that, stupid...I said the fans turn on him when he chokes, like they did Smitty, stupid.Quote:

For somebody that likes to call people stupid...you sure are fucking stupid.
C'est La Vie....I am surly and pessimistic, you're a stupid guy who didn't watch the 2002 playoffs, ...we all have our crosses to bear.Quote:

And I still think Finley is a choker...if he proves me wrong...I'll be the happiest guy on the board.
Ahem.....the difference between Steve Smith and Mike Finley is one played for the Mavs and one didn't.Quote:

Finley did play for them...obviously.
I don't feel personally slighted as a Mavs fan that Finley went to the Spurs. It was the right financial move to make for the club to avoid the luxury tax, and Finley understood that. And he wasn't going to go play for the Sonics or Hawks. Signing up with the defending champs is a pretty good strategy for winning a title. It looks like it's going to pay off this year.
Finley is good. What about next year though?
yeah im really dumb. :depressedQuote:

like i said i figured since we were talking about choking in the finals that you were going to compare another player choking in the finals and not just choose some lesser venue.
and in order for the fans to turn on finley choking wouldnt that mean that he would have to choke in the first place? I guess they could turn on him for not choking but for some reason I dont think that is what you were trying to say.
im just curious why you think that a guy who has been making timely shots this year and shooting well overall is suddenly going to choke so that we fans will turn on him?
And youre not getting a hug so you might as well stop.

As for Finley...he's choked against the Spurs.
LMAO...you must be new to SpursTalk...it was about a month ago that he was being trashed on this board.Quote:

My statements don't contradict each other...people are just stupid.
I don't want the Spurs to lose...and I don't know why anyone would conclude by my saying Finley is a choker.
I think Finley is going to choke in these finals, I think he will be a reason, either because of poor play, or because he'll underperform at the worst time.
It's just the vibe I get...I don't think Finley hung the moon. I feel absolutely not a shred of loyalty to this player...and he's going to have to prove himself to me to accept him as a Spur.
I have a very good trackrecord of picking these guys out, guys that are no longer with this team, and no one was really that sorry to see them go.
This board has long history..suffice to say, you are fucking with your daddy on this subject...
I hope I'll be wrong this time, as nothing beats a championship, and being able to say I was right is something that happens to me multiple times daily, it's not a novelty ;)
And I do think Finley choked in game 7 VS the Mavs last year..in the final minutes.
The day we signed him I said he's just good enough to be on the court to choke when it matters most...and that's exactly what he did last year.
He gets hot, starts knocking down shots, and invariably he gets trusted with big shots, game deciding shots, series deciding shots...and those are the ones he misses. I don't want him taking those shots...I don't even want him on the court in that situation...not with Robert Horry on this team. But he's going to be on the court against the Cavs...

i could give a shit what people thought three months ago if they think that Finley who has been hitting timely shots in pressure situations like in denver and is shooting 3s at a 46% clip is suddenly going to choke because of one shot he took 4 years ago. Like i said its dumb.
Recent past performance is the best predictor of future performance.
