Like i said Mike is a good/great guy. I have no problem with him getting a ring.
I wish it could have been with us but he would not take a bench role here and that's what he is, an off the bench player now.

I have had Mavs season tickets for 6+ years now. I saw every game Finley played from 2001-2005. I cheered for him when he did good and I boo'd him if he sucked. I saw him try to carry the team when he was able and i witnessed the marked declilne of his skills. He is a shell of his former self now but can help a little of the bench.

So you are wrong, again, about me choking on it. Good for Mike.

Now if that f#cker Steve Cash would have gotten a ring........Yeah i would have needed the heimlich for that one!

The boldfaced sentence defines the essence of the Mavericks "fan." Boo when things don't go your way. You stay losers, Dallas.

It's not like he has contributed to any of the Finals victories?

did you miss the huge three he hit in the 4th quarter last night?

He had 7 points and FOUR STEALS.

Uh, Id say he contributed to the win last night.....

He wasn't cut because he wouldn't take a bench role. In fact when he signed with the Spurs he knew he would be relegated to the bench.

And while Finley hasn't been knocking down shots in the finals, he's played spectacular for us throughout the playoffs, including last year. He's been everything we'd hoped he be, plus more.

Yes he was. He was cut because of his diminshed skills for a starter, his 17 million dollar salary and because he would not take a reducec roll here. Fact.

He had no choice to take a reduce bench role with the Spurs. That was a given before he even signed and he knew it.

And i am glad you guys love him so much. If he would have agreed to play 20 minutes a game here off the bench he would probably still be a Mav. But again he would not. And he is showing that in the big game he is average or below average. He has avg. 11.6 ppg and 2.9 rpg for the playoffs but for the Finals he is at 3.7 and 2.0. That sux. Plus he is a below avg. defender now too.

But for a 20 minute guy he is about right. But he is in the perfet situation. He plays with 3 great players and is not expected to contribute much. And that's the perfect role for him.

He would have taken a diminished role whether he wanted to or not. Cuban would not have paid 17 million dolllars PLUS cap penalties for only 20 minutes a game. Agree his skills diminished, but the only way they keep him in that situation is if he continues to play at a superstar level and have a huge impact on the team.

I don't boo lack of performance, I boo lack of effort. Finley's never dogged it. Maverick fans booed him when he came back to Dallas after being cut.
