He used to be an All star caliber player with money shots all day long....but his days are over. SA is not Dallas. Hes pretty much done and sucks like but somehow Pop love him so much...I dont know what kind of service Finley give to Fo outside the court...
Finley guarding Prince is a joke. I'm always amazed that as long as he's been playing basketball, he's never learned how to seek, and block out the nearest opponent on the defensive glass. He just lets anyone waltz in for an offensive rebound. Amazing.
FInley sucks
something how all you guys know so much more than pop and the rest of the coaching staff.
something how he can go to a team like yur spurs and for some reason have a spot. must have something left....
Prince 3-10
Oops....
That he would help win a championship and still be a solid contributer?
Yeah, that pisses everyone off.
Re ing .
That Finley wasn't worth $100 million? Real tough call.
Finley's been fine in SA.
Miss his first two years here ?
He was fantastic in his first two post seasons and helped the Spurs get out of the first round last year against Phoenix.
Made big shots was good defensively and got a key rebound in crunch time.
Drink draino.
Finley had some nice brief moments tonight.
Prince didn't have a good game but I don't recall Finley locking him down. In fact I remember one moment where Fin let Prince go right by him to the rim and then turned around to watch him get a wide open dunk. Pop didn't even seem visibly upset.
I'm happy for whatever Fin can give us because clearly he isn't going anywhere. He's a way better shooter than Hairston and has more poise. Hairston should still get more minutes than he's getting though.
Yeah, his 1st two postseasons (and regular seasons, by the by) here were good enough, but last season, sticks out a lot.
MPG PTS RED EFG
31.6 10.5 3.8 0.562
26.9 11.3 2.9 0.534
23 6.7 1.9 0.491
In the regular season, this and last season also stick out; as a an example, consider his PER (for his 4 seasons here, including the partial one to date) 12.7 13.7 11.4 10.8. This has been his worst season for us. His previous season was not good enough, IMO, to justify the minutes he got. The same thing is true this season... We need, IMO, to transition away from him; he's not strong enough defensively to justify his presence on the court, with this caliber of defensive performances.
What is Hairston doing exactly other than fouling, proving he deserves more minutes?
hes got his good days and obviously his bad. so far i havent been disappointed in him. hes pretty old too, 35 or 36. considering his age, hes not that bad.
Prince has always, particularly in the final 5 minutes of games, been a very good offensive rebounder. As the game goes on, everyone gets tired, but his arms don't get shorter and he good height and very sneaky athleticism. He gets offensive rebounds against everybody and sometimes it doesn't matter if he is boxed out. He is that sort of player.
I thought Finley did a fine job on Prince, particularly fighting him for position down low where Prince is a nightmare. Finley was making it tough for the Pistons to even make the pass. He had 3 FG's, one of them off of poor rotations and lack of communication, leading to a dunk, one on a long jumpshot and the last one I can't recall.
Tayshaun had 2 Offensive rebounds, one with Hairston on him (Hairston did a great job defensively on that play FWIW) and one a few minutes into the game during a period where I'm pretty sure Finley was switched off onto someone else.
I had some doubts about Finley after last year playoffs be he has bounce back and he is having a solid season.
He surely doesn't deserve all the bashing he gets on this board.
+1
Yeah screw the guy that helped win the game.
him.
Idiot.
Finley will not be all star anymore.Forget that guy.
Now he is a veteran who can help the team.That's his role and he does it well.That's why Pop loves Finley.
Finley's inability to keep box out is the joke - no matter the opponent.
For what it's worth, when Pop was subbing offense/defense last night, he had Bowen coming in for Mason...not Finley.
I don't hate Finley. I think he's playing good this season, especially after the terrible playoffs last season.
I just wanto to see Bruce playing Finley minutes, because we need more D and Finley off the bench for 15-18 minutes to provide the O
Can someone make a .gif of the image yesterday when Pop touched his ass after he made a J?
Bag on Finley for his defense during the season as much as you want but in the Piston game he was good.
