^ crock of . You said they lost twenty straight games. The less games they play, the more years it takes.
So you're saying it was longer than 10 years? How long has Finley played in the league? Has he never won a game in LA?![]()
You'll have to forgive whottt, he's rusty because he spent so much time thinking about that le he was going to give me for losing the bet in the playoffs. Look at him now, all mumbling and incoherent because he can't give me that slam dunk user le he came up with since the season started before he thought of it, thus nullifying the bet altogether.
happens, buddy. You'll walk it off.

Actually I listed several definitions of why Finley is choker...it's not that that is one of my definitions of choking...it's that it's your re ed definition of clutch.
PS: Finley did choke, in that series, in that game..check the PBP of that game slick...then you'll see exactly what I mean about Finley being the worst kind of choker...the kind that's good enough to let you down when it matters most.
I sent timvp your le a long time ago...it was Palin's or something like that. Dude gets massive emails and it probably got lost in the shuffle.
So the Spurs win that series without Finley?
Whatever you do stick...don't look it up to see if they actually lost 20 in a row...just sit here asking stupid questions and ignoring the answers.
PS...your assumption that WC teams played 4 times a year brands you as a newbie to basketball....you probably weren't even following the NBA when that Mavs streak against LA started.
In fact, you probably weren't even following the NBA when the Mavs ended that streak...if you were you wouldn't be so incredulous...because it was pretty ing big news when it happened.
I just wish I could remember if Finley was there when they ended it...I don't think he was.
Whatever you do...don't look it up to see if they actually lost 20 in a row in LA...best to just sit here disgracing Led Zeppelin by making their fans look stupid...and ignoring the answers to questions you asked.
This could very well be true. I'll dig thru the PMs and change his le accordingly.![]()
Of course. Cause Lord Barry would've shot 100% and averaged 15 assists a game.
Probably...the Spurs lost their mystique to the Mavs POV when they signed Finley...the Mavs knew the potential for a massive choke was there simply because we had their most massive one...it gave them something to believe in.
Without a doubt...the Spurs lost their mystique against the Mavs when we signed their cancerous whining choker. They no longer feared us or saw us as invinncible...
It's kind of like when you've ed a hot chick that was really bad in bed and see her with another guy...
While the guys that hever never ed her may fantasize about what it would be liketo be that lucky guy...you know better and so you don't have that same sense of wonder...you know that dude is getting ty sex and you actually feel sorry for him being such a chump. He has no mystique to you...you know better.
Exaxct same principle here...
The Mavs knew we weren't invincible anymore..for the simple reason that we were counting on Michael Finley to win....and no team relying on Finley is invincible, as they knew well from first hand experience.
IKn any case...I'm pretty sure we could have lost the series without him...just like we did with him.
So what have you proved?
I'm just wondering who scores the ball for them in games 2 3 and 4 without Finley?
Who shoots those shots instead?
The Spurs lost their mystique against Dallas when AJ started Devin Harris. So Finley sucks because he missed a jumpshot in OT in game 7? By your logic Duncan is a too, then again we already know you think that. Nevermind that Finley hit a shot 1 minute before to pull the Spurs within 1 or that he hit the three to pull them within 1 with 2:00 left in regulation. The facts never mean to you as long as you can put some long-winded spin on it.
Or was huge in game 5 and 6 to help them even get to game 7.
LOSER TALK!![]()
EricB...I realize that analogy won't really mean much to you, for obvious reasons...I'll try to think of a subs ute for sex with a woman and see if can come up with something that will make as much sense for you.
Of course he never won a game in LA
ing choking
Hilarious, any other personal attacks you want to go to?
Looks like Finley ed that lakers team.
But what would I know about ing a , right whottt?
Um...I've never insulted Duncan nearly as much as you just did by putting him in some lame ass comparison with Finley...I don't ever confuse the two, sorry that you do.
And you just insulted thee entire team by saying they laid down...
Bad analysis, and a horrible insult.
Nevermind that Finley hit a shot 1 minute before to pull the Spurs within 1 or that he hit the three to pull them within 1 with 2:00 left in regulation. The facts never mean to you as long as you can put some long-winded spin on it.
Whatever statboy...you have overly clinical view of the game and are ignorant of things like game pschology and the mental aspects of compe ion.
Even your ovely clinical view is ed up and inaccurate...
Those Mavs weren't world beaters....as they proved in the finals, and the first round the following year.
Finley didn't do anything particularly amazing...when you consider he was the starting center and was inserted as such to create defensive mismatches that played to his scoring strength.
The Spurs didn't suddenly become wimps, as they proved the following year when they won the NBA le...even with a liability like Finley on the roster.
Everything you need to understand about that series, why the Mavs looked good, why Finley looked good, why the Spurs looked so bad...can be summed up in two words...
Gregg Poppovich...or small ball if you prefer...
That series is all on Pop and his dumbass coaching strategy in that series...he ed up and Riley made a total fool of him when he beat the Mavs with the worst team to win an NBA championship sinse the merger....Don Nelson too the following year.
What does Pop say? Here I'll get cute and not play my center for this entire series..., make yourself comfortable Dirk.....the lane is all yours. Go score your points on defensive mismatches Mike...they'll say I'm a genius when this series is over.
What does Riley say? Hey guys...Dirk is a pussy who doesn't play well when you get physical with him...plant him on his ass every time he comes into the paint. Yes I know I don't have 1/10th of the team Pop has...but at least I don't outsmart myself like a dumbass.
That's it...that's your series. The Mavs weren't great. The Spurs weren't suddenly a bunch of gutless wussies...and Michael Finley didn't suddenly turn into Jordan, he exploited mismatches created by him starting at ING Center. All of it on one Gregg Poppovich. Period.
How can it be a personal attack when I don't know you? Dumbass. I didn't know you hadn't actually ever been laid...it was a joke. Sorry for hitting a nerve.
Yeah hilarious.
Wrong, but hilarious. Again, insults like that show that you have no arguement, as always.
You're going to call me statboy when you have repeatedly argued that David Robinson is better than Michael Jordan because he won more IBM awards?.. and not even the Laker trolls insult Duncan as much as you have in the past.
Finley missed a shot late in game 7. So did Duncan. Finley also hit huge shots that game, game 6, game 5, and throughout that entire series. You want to ignore everything positive he did because he missed one ing important shot in OT. By that logic Stephen Jackson too, since he missed a wide-open shot that would have won game 2 of the 03 Finals.
Make up your mind and quit playing amateur lawyer. I thought the loss was on Finley according to you.That series is all on Pop and his dumbass coaching strategy in that series...he ed up and Riley made a total fool of him when he beat the Mavs with the worst team to win an NBA championship sinse the merger....Don Nelson too the following year.
Ginobili also missed shots in that OT.
He clearly is a choking .
Seriously, that Miami team was worse than the 07 Spurs who you said should have lost to Cleveland?That series is all on Pop and his dumbass coaching strategy in that series...he ed up and Riley made a total fool of him when he beat the Mavs with the worst team to win an NBA championship sinse the merger....Don Nelson too the following year.
Not should have lost, but get swept.
The IMB awards were part of it...the rest of it was that David's team set an NBA record for a negative turn around, and put up the worst record in Spurs history, when he was out for the season...
While Jordan's team made the conference finals without him...
Yeah but Duncan has also made his share and has proven to be more clutch than not...Finley missed a shot late in game 7. So did Duncan.
If it makes you feel any better...I'd much rather see Findog at the FT line to win the game than I would Duncan...including in a game 7. That doesn't mean Finley's clutch...as I'd rather see anyone this side of Shaq O'neal at the FT line over Duncan in that situation. That doesn't mean Duncan's a choker.
He missed the most important shot he took...and it's not that I want to ignore it...it's that you are saying it's clutch..and I am saying your definition of clutch sucks ass...Finley also hit huge shots that game, game 6, game 5, and throughout that entire series. You want to ignore everything positive he did because he missed one ing important shot in OT.
Game 7 > Game 2...make or miss.By that logic Stephen Jackson too, since he missed a wide-open shot that would have won game 2 of the 03 Finals.
And how'd Finley do in the finals? You know...the whole reason he came to SA.
Bottom line...you want to have a suckass definition of clutch and choke...by all means do so...you will never get me to agree.
In closing...I'd just like to say, once again, Findog and the Mav he rode in on...
I'll let you get back to throwing the entire 06 Spurs squad under the bus because you are hopelessly on Finley's ...as you were..........
