Is Finley Forgiven?

[Shaolin-Style]

You my friend, are a tool.

Whatever punk. Hes going to get turned on the moment he screws a defensive assignment, which will probably be next game. Fin hating is too easy, but I still love him.

Finley had so many lapses on defense today it was pathetic. If he hadn't hit that Big 3, fans would be singing a different tune.

I still believe in Finley. I just don't like the fact that if he's not making shots or hesitating on offense, he lets that affect the rest of his game and his rebounding/defense suffers too. That's difficult to take considering he's a starter now.

Still big shot for Finley, esp after he had missed the previous one. If Finley can be that consistent 4th scorer for the Spurs, it opens up so much of the floor for Duncan/Parker/Ginobili.

So your gonna turn on him the next defensive assignment missed?

Wow...

Nope, but most people will hence why this thread is here to begin with. Also, *you're easily amazed by this apparently.

Shut up you naysayers, I am gay for Finley because he is more baller than any of us could ever be. Unless you are Steve Nash or Tim Duncan then stop trying to compare Finley with anyone in the league. If y'all had to compare Finley with Van Exel who would y'all pick, that's right Finley. He will win a championship because he is a believer not a naysayer like some punk es I see on this forum.

Don't set the bar too high, now.

I'd definitely take Finley over Scola at least. Van exel? Thats a toughy.

[BlueDog]

Y'all are right, Van Exel was a no-show. I've been on Finley's nuts though ever since he hit that shot against NY...and since my bro got to talk to him at Longhorn Cafe...consumate professional is all I can type.

On one botched assignment against a Suns screen n' roll, I think Kurt Thomas pulled him over and told him how he should have done it right.

But, hey, props for Finley for coming strong at the start of the second half and for hitting the 3pt shot.

Finley is a great baller every once in a while. I love the guy as a consummate athlete and all around good guy. But a big shot here or there does not make up for his horrendous effort on D.

I cringed for the most part every time the lineup would roll out of a time out with Finley in it. I would rather roll the dice with Barry and Udoka at almost any point in the game. Finley minutes could be used nest year with so much better effect if we had a young energy player that could just play scrappy for 100% of the time he was given.
