Should Finley keep starting?

[Obstructed_View]

Finley is doing a better job of earning his money than Barry is.

[T Park]

Brent Barry, ranks up there, as the worst offseason moves this franchise has ever made.

Yes yes Rasho is included in that list.

You haven't been a fan of the Spurs for very long if you actually believe that. Who really thought Barry would go into a two year shooting slump? Where's your post saying that you knew that was going to happen? No? Well at least he made some baskets in the playoffs when it mattered. That's more than a lot of guys for this team have done in the past. Is he a dissapointment? No question, but he's light years ahead of some of the guys this team has signed, traded for or drafted. That doesn't mean he shouldn't trade in his vagina and start showing up and earning his money, considering he practically begged to be here.

Classic...Basically your just riding Finley because of what you remember Finley being. Yep...Brent is a better passer and ball handler. Right now the ball movement on the Spurs is terrible...The offense always flows better when Barry is in. Now if you want to say Barry passes up to many shots...I'm not going to disagree with you there.

Is Barry a better defensive player than Finley? I never said that, so don't state it like I did. But Barry certainly is not any worse. All you are doing is going on "reputation" instead of actually what is going on out on the court now.

My point is, Finley isn't doing ...His stats aren't any better than Barry's and he's getting 30 minutes a game. Barry played this way last year, and its the "worst off season pick up in history?" Come Pistons series, he was a factor as Tony had his melt down in 6 and 7.

1 game

Game 1 vs Phoenix


what other games, did he make shots in that made a difference?

actually I think he was close to signing with Portland, and changed his mind.


How I wish he went the other way.....

[exstatic]

I gave Finley his props. He plays well when Manu is inactive. Unfortunately, when Manu is in uniform, he sucks donkey balls.

Yeah my memory goes back a whole couple weeks.

Parker melted down in 6 and 7?


Another moron who cant spell D E F E N S E.


its all about offense with you stat geeks.

Once again,

what was Parker's shooting percentage on the road in the finals?

[Que Gee]

Why is everybody so chicken to point out Finley's lack of presence and "making" shots? His shooting skills have been woefully inadequate but everyone just ignores it and still wants to bag on Barry? Bizarre. Barry is getting less than 20 minutes a game...and AGAIN just like last year, check out his stats when he gets over 20 a game...JUST LIKE LAST YEAR his numbers are ALOT better.

[T Park]

Who was the leading scorer against Portland?

[T Park]

Because maybe Finley's ability to make shots won this team some games back in December??

Or did you forget that already.

[angel_luv]

I don't know. At this point I am trusting Pop's greater vision.

Your an idiot...I don't even know if I should respond to your garbage. All about offense? What the are you talking about? I was just making a point talking about stats. My point is that all being equal, Barry adds more to the offense of the Spurs than Finley does. Finley keeps getting the minutes and why? He hasn't been producing? Barry went through this last year and again, like I stated earlier...he stopped playing. Why hasn't Finley been sat down? Thats my point in all of this. T Park, have you ever picked up a basketball? I mean besides the Nerf one that may be laying around your living room.

Is this a trick question? Tony and Tim with 18 apiece. WTF does this have to do with Mike Worthless?

Barry played the point well for the Spurs in game 6 and 7 when Parker was struggling...how quickly we forget. Are you saying Barry begged to be in San Antonio? Because if you are, now you are just talking dumb.

[Obstructed_View]

I said that. Do a search for the phrase "Get me out of here"

[T Park]

I believe Finley was the leading scorer.

Ginobili played in that game.

You said EVERY game.

Just pointing it out..

If he adds more to the offense, wouldn't he play more??

Oh yeah, he adds less, because he refuses to shoot like a more scared Hedo Turkoglu, and his swiss cheese defense is unacceptable.

Finley gets more minutes why? Cause he is new to the system and he actually plays SOME defense, and rebounds the ball.

Have I ever picked up a basketball?? yes, but I have nothing to do with Finley or Brent Barry, stick to the discussion.

Barry played the point well for the Spurs in game 6 and 7 when Parker was struggling

WRong, when Udrih was struggling.

If Pop couldve played Parker 48 minutes without him getting tired, he wouldve.

Parker leaving the games was the reasons they were losing leads.

I never said Barry begged to be here, but he didnt exactly throw a fit signing here..

I was at the forefrunt and one of the big Barry fans last year, and I was fighting Ex all last year against him, but the freakin game against Seattle in game 5

20 minutes 00000000000000000000000000000000000

sent me over the edge..

If you prefer a player, that can play 20 minutes, and not seemingly get a rebound, assist, foul, ANYTHING,

over a guy thats playing defense, rebounding, and making freethrows and going to the basket, and actually SHOOTING the ball.

Then you my friend, should be questioned if you have ever picked up a basketball.

[kolko]

Ginobili played in that game.

Just pointing it out..

Finley scored 11 pts in that game while Manu scored 15 pts.

[T Park]

against Portland??

Then Sean Elliott spoke wrong.

[kolko]

Then Sean Elliott spoke wrong.

Yes. I think you are talking about the game vs Hornets where Finley was the leading scorer with 18 and Manu scored 14.

[T Park]

hmmm

maybe it was.......

[T Park]

and to answer the question.

No, Finley shouldn't.

Its time to to start getting a semblence of of a rotation, and the rotation is

Rasho
Duncan
Bowen
Ginobili
Parker

then off the bench

Horry
Finley

then Ginobili back in for Bowen, Duncan out Rasho or Nazr back in.



Time to start getting the rotation back under control.

[orhe]

well i really think the spurs are better w/ manu coming off the bench
but the spurs really need to run more plays for him.

[SequSpur]

I gave Finley his props. He plays well when Manu is inactive. Unfortunately, when Manu is in uniform, he sucks donkey balls.

your takes suck donkey balls.

[spurschick]

Come what may, I would really like to see Manu start tonight. I know we need his energy off the bench, but I think we need his energy more from the start tonight. IMO, the first few minutes of tonight's game are crucial.

I was thinking the same thing. We really can't start slow tonight like the last time we played the Pistons and tonight's a night were we really need Manu from the start.
