There's already a "Finley Blows" thread that bashes Fin, so why did we need this one?
IMO, we should appreciate the things that Finley has brought to the table in his time with the Spurs. If it weren't for his playoff heroics, the Spurs arguably wouldn't have won last year and been in it past the Suns this year.
Having said that, he's got nothing left in the tank and there's no reason why the Spurs shouldn't let his contract expire at the end of the season. If they choose not to re-up him, I doubt there will be any takers for his services, which will likely force his hand into retirement. All in all, I'd say he has had a solid career and he ended up with the ring he sought when he came to SA.
The challenge for the Spurs will be finding a suitable replacement....a good shooter with decent athleticism and defensive instincts.
There's a reason for that, every minute he was on the court was another minute of pump fakes at the 3 point line with no one guarding him, followed by bad drives to the lane and turnovers. Couple that with horrendous defense, and you have a formula for sitting on the bench...But keep defending him, I'm sure he appreciates it.
He's not the same Michael Finley anymore. Back in the day, he would shoot those shots that are now pump fakes, and his drives would be much better, but we all know he isn't that player anymore. I'm a huge Finley fan, but you don't realize that he's best when coming off of screens in a motion offense. And it's not that he can't make the shots he's missing, they're just not going in. Most of them are great shots when he's wide open, it's just that the balls aren't going in.
Now with that being said, we do need to get younger and I think Finley would probably be the first one gone from our wing players.
Michael Finley hasn't played any decent defense since the 2002 season in Dallas.
His career has been finished for years. It will 'officially end" after this season.
Lets send him back to Dallas.
You stole the words out of my mouth.
Why not shipping his ass to Siberia ?
When his shots are going in, he's the most dangerous player on the team.
When his shots are off, he's the most dangerous player on the other team.
And his shots are off more often than in.
He's gotta go.
*bump*
We might as well start bagging on him.
And then he hits shots in the first quarter.. lol..
Now he's missing 'em.
Under the bus you go!
Oh, how quickly some forget.
What does Finley have? 10 pts?
