people over react too much on here
It's getting bad here people. Delete this thread of you want, but I've got to say this, and with a new thread, people will read it. Every time we get a win, everyone talks about how our team is perfect, and all we need is a big man. Then, one loss, like tonight's against Toronto, and everyone's talking about trading Tony, how our big win against Boston that meant everything in the world doesn't mean anything anymore, and one of our players, who has been clutch for us in the recent past (Finley), is a moron who needs to be traded. We're Spurs fans...at least some of us...we need to stand behind our team, no matter what. Finley has won a LOT of games for us this year..let's get behind him, not stand over him.
people over react too much on here
huh?

Agree. +1

Is there anyone who gets dumped on more than Finley here? It's always easy to point fingers.
It's a message board, people vent. You'll either get used to it or you'll need to stay away after losses. It happens every season with every loss.
Yep they do!!!
It's a long season and these types of games will happen. Give the Raptors credit...they made some shots down the stretch and the Spurs didn't!
Winning a game for someone doesn't necessarily mean making the game winning shot. When Manu and Tony were out, he was huge. But if you want me to answer you in the literal sense, he's hit a couple of game winning threes on his baseline. Tonight he didn't take it, no..but maybe he didn't feel it. As a guy who played some 2 guard myself in the past (college), you have to feel it to take the shot. He gave it up because he thought someone else had a better shot of making it. That was a smart basketball move. In this game, I'd rather have Manu shooting a layup or Tony shooting a jumpshot than Fin pulling that three.
I understand...and I know I'm new here, but as fans, we have to stand behind our guys too, don't you agree? I mean...they play for us, they say it all the time...so we should be there for them too.It's a message board, people vent. You'll either get used to it or you'll need to stay away after losses.

Finley's recent stretch of horrendous play should warrant a benching. There is no reason to keep Bowen riding the pine when Finley can't even do the only thing he was mildy decent at...shooting.
No excuse.
Most of us are there for our team, win, lose, or ugly. But people still need to vent, some losses are frustrating and ST allows the freedom of venting. It all balances out over time. The true fans stay, the bandwagoners leave. There's no site like this out there, take the bad with the good, the good outweighs the bad.
People do stand behind them. But it doesn't mean that they don't criticize their play or be mad and go wild right after a game. It's just passionate reactions to a loss that shouldn't have happened.
Just look at the how Fin played in the last 10 games...
I don't recall him helping the team out at all except the one vs. hornets.
Corret me if I am wrong but if Finley doesn't "feel like shooting it", then he shouldn't even be on the court.
We can't stop it, but I'm sure the Spurs can.
Understandable...I gotcha. Just wanted to vent in the opposite way, ya know? I'm a lifetime fan...been through the bad and the good, and this team is good...really good. One loss doesn't change that.
Well he's been suffering from back spasms for the last couple weeks. So I don't know if it's all about just not feeling like shooting it. But I guess he's healthy enough to be out there. He definitely should have let it fly on the last play.
I agree with that...I really do. And I was angry as well...very angry..Ukic had a fluke night that probably will never happen again...and that's what hurt us. I mean..everyone out there is a pro...they're going to have those nights where they show why, and tonight was one of those nights.
Welcome to Spurstalk.
lol....thanks....I'll take the good with the bad...this is by far the best Spurs forum, or sports forum for that matter, on the net...
let's stop the fighting..
let's just all agree on one thing..Michael Finley sucks..
I'm with you Spursfan092120!
But they will vent on this forum.....especially after a loss.
Most of the times....is so unrealistic that you just read it and move on to the next thread.
However, there are some times where you have to respond to people going way overboard.
Remember that fan is short for fanatic and you will get that a lot!!
Oh Gawd a n00b
I think Mike Fin only partially sucks. I mean he does have his moments every now and again.

True about the fanatic...I guess I must have forgotten that..lol...Truth of the matter is, we wouldn't have as good of a record without him.
And yes..lol..I'm a noob..lol...but I've been around the Spurs for a LOOONG time...so I know my team.
