38
With it being a must-win, I'm going to say Pop gives him 44.
50. I don't how, but Pop will figure out a way to do it.
68.
Pop will keep Finley on the court during halftime, too.

Whatever amount of minutes Finley gets tonight, and for the duration of the Spurs playoff life, I trust these will be the last for him in a Spurs uniform.
Fin has been a consummate pro, great guy and solid contributor. He helped us win a le in '07. Hit some big-time shots during the regular season this year.
However, just like we saw the same with Horry last year, it's obvious the time has come. It's time to move on in a different direction.
$2.5 million says otherwise. We've only reached the midway point of his contract.![]()
You trust wrong. Finley has a player option for like $2.5 million next season.![]()
No trade clause.
I still think Finley can be useful, just not in this role. He has actually had a decent year and although he is streaky, he has carried this offense through stretches and hits big shots still.
michael finley would be good if pop used him off the bench and in limited time like someone sane would. Instead, we all laugh it off while Pop nutpunches the season ticket holders every night with his incessant Finley love.
Even if Finley pick his option, Spurs could decide to trade him this summer.
A year older and slower Finley will not be useful. He had a better than expected regular season this year but this playoffs show why many of us knew it was fool's gold. He just can't do enough on the court to have a big role, much less this massive role Pop has gifted him.
Here's a role Finley would be good at:

His no trade option was only for the first year?

I agree, but Pop has proven beyond any reasonable doubt that he cannot be trusted with Finley on his roster. I wish I was joking when I made the 44 minute prediction.![]()
Eh. If the Spurs decide to open up their wallets and take on some contracts then Finley could still provide a useful role, even if it is just in the regular season next year. Fin off the bench is not bad and then you bury him when you shorten the rotations for playoffs.
As soon as Finley pick his option, he can be traded.
You must not have watched Finley play off the bench.
You must not have watched how Pop will never bury Finley.
Finley is worth every penny the Spurs pay him. Outside of Tim, Tony and Mason nobody has put more points on the board for the Spurs this year. Sure he has his deficiencies but I think he is a bargain as far as NBA terms go. The only game he missed was the one in Denver when Pop sat the starters on the back to back. The guy never misses a game. He has been far more valuable than Manu has this year.
I say he plays 33 mins.
Pop is addicted to Finley, and I hope someone checks his ass into rehab this summer.
Manu has been far more valuable than Finley this series.
I seriously think he would play around 35 minutes. We should have a V-bookie over this.
Manu gives more value in ten games than Finley gives in an entire season.
Please let tonight be Finley's once a week good shooting game.
