I said he was done? No. I said he was the shadow of himself. He's good for the occasional 15-20 point game twice a month or so but that's it.
That was me who said that, and like I said it was supposed to be funny and missed the mark... I can deal with it hanging over me forever as does everything anyone says on this forum...

Dood. People here have League Pass and Master's Degrees.
He is, but not one that commands a double team.
So we've signed Roger Mason to be our new Finley? Nice ... 37% shooting for 1/2 of the MLE
I followed Golden State pretty closely and that just isn't true. When Pietrus was healthy he generally started and Azubuike came off the bench.
Hill is still the back-up PG... Mason is the starting SG....This does not mean anything against Hill at all. Hill might see a little time at SG too, I doubt Mason will see much time if any at PG. I still love the pick of Hill in the draft.
It's definitely a letdown after all the Maggette talk. I am only glad that we could sign him free and clear and not have to wait a week for some other team to match a reasonable offer.
Yes, but not as a rotation player in SA.
We use Mason because he is improving. If you plot his seasons on a graph, his is an upward curve. Plot Finley's and it's going the opposite direction.
Quit being so dense, Master's boy.
Can you point out continuous improvement?
That's sort of my point. From a statistical standpoint, last year seems more like an outlier than the norm.
It's a red flag...that's all I'm saying.
I hope he continues to shoot as well as he did last season.
How is that bull ? The team defense slipped, key word team. If Finley was that bad they could of put someone else in, gone with a different line-up. Udoka would have played more, because by your measure, Finley was not scoring so why have him in. Udoka will at least D people up...
Because we were playing the Cavs with Pavlovic and Sideshow Bob on the court.
I think your boy AK would have been better than Mason but dont give up hope, GS is hot on the trail of K Dooling who is seeking 6 mil a year and with GS needing to sign beans and ellis he could be trade bait for a draft pick.
For someone who watches as much basketball as you claim to have, you apparently missed the last three months of the Spurs season if you think Finley was anything more than a dribbling cone defensively.
Spend more time watching the Spurs and less on League Pass and maybe you'd understand.
Manny's right. Self PWNG is way more rewarding to witness.
I'd say whipping out the Master's card qualifies as "acting like you are superior".
Rotting away like his career.
where is this marked improvement over the course of his recent career? he had one good year, other than that he did not really improve. it is not like he is 23 or something, how much better do you think he will get? do not be such a , aggie boy
How often do you think Haywood got doubled in the post, resulting in an open shot for Mason?
How often do you think Duncan got doubled in the post?
If you think these two numbers are anywhere near each other, you should leave this thread now.
His one good year was the last one he played, hence improvement.
agree 100% there.
Once again if you take my comments in the context in which they were made, it was not to act better than, but to enlighten those who deemed me re ed without knowing me because of a basketball conversation...
He said plot a chart and it would go upward. It would be flat then go up last year.
He went from 3 points a game in 63 games in 8 minutes a game to 9 points a game in 21 minutes of play.
Not to mention averaging 18 points as a starter for the Wiz.
This be Mason:
This be Finley:
If you had been paying attention, Pop stuck with Finley because he needed Fin's shooting... which was only showing up once every five games.
Pop even admitted that he was having to sacrifice defense to get a reasonable amount of firepower on the court offensively.
For someone with a Master's and League Pass, this shouldn't be rocket science.
