Another solid outing for Finley.
Portland: 37 min, 6-11, 1-3, 13pts, 6rbs, 1to
4 game totals:
33 min, 53% fg, 63% 3pt, 14 ppg, 4.5 rpg
I am man enough to admit that I was one of the Finley bashers in here when he was on his slump, but I should've known better since he's been here with the Spurs that, yes he goes on hot streaks, but he also goes on shooting slumps. And the last 2 games he has really stepped it up, I'm sorry Fin, I should have never bashed you. lol.

Yeah well, your team's owner is a meddling, childish, egocentric .
He must have read this thread.
definitely..I'm taking the credit for this current streak..
4 straight games now.
I'm just wondering why when Fin is on, Mase is off and vice versa.
It's basketball.
It happens.
Just be glad their cycles don't synchronize like women who live together.
Fictional Scenario
3 Seconds left...Spurs 90 Suns 92
Commentator A: "Finley is gunna inbound to Parker, let's see if they can get a quick shot off. Finley hands it to Parker, Parker passes back to Finley!"
Commentator B: "Finley for the win... Bam"!
Commentator A: "Michael Finley has done it again!"
Arena goes crazy, Final Score: Spurs 93 Suns 92
Real scenario:
It was a loss but I thought Finley played pretty hard. Not likely to win a game when he's tied as your leading scorer and leading rebounder. I thought he did a decent job on Lebron in stretches but it's just no contest.
Cleveland: 28 min, 5-9, 1-2, 11 pts, 7 rbs, 1 as, 3 blks
Solid game by Fins vs Dallas and he certainly warranted all 37 minutes.
2-8 (0-3 treys) 4 boards zero offensive and some real lock down D on Josh Howard.
Eric Park?
Detroit: 27 min, 3-5, 2-3, 8pts, 3rbs
Wizards: 30 min, 7-13, 5-9, 19pts, 4rbs, 1as, 2tos, 3stls
Dallas: 38 min, 6-9, 4-4, 16pts, 5rbs, 1stl
Portland: 37 min, 6-11, 1-3, 13pts, 6rbs, 1to
Cleveland: 28 min, 5-9, 1-2, 11 pts, 7 rbs, 1 as, 3 blks
Portland: 15 min, 0-1, 1as
Clippers: 27 min, 5-11, 4-7, 14pts, 2rbs, 1to
Dallas: 37 min, 2-8, 0-3, 1-2, 5pts, 4rbs, 2as, 1stl
So Finley has had 2 bad games out of 8 since Ginobli's been sidelined. While I don't think he should have played as many minutes last night I don't think he was as bad as some make it. If a few more shots had fallen it probably wouldn't even be discussed here.
I think it's safe to say that Finley has more than stepped up while Ginobli's been out but I guess some want to make it sound like he hasn't.
I'm assuming Finley is done for the night. Another solid outing.
Wizards: 15 min, 5-9, 2-5, 12 pts, 3 rbs, 3 as, 1 stl
Fin was clutch in the 4th quarter. Solid game overall.
Phoenix: 30 min, 4-7, 2-3, 1-2, 11 pts, 3 rbs, 2 as, 2 to
Big game today. Made some great shots in the 4th
Fin's on a role...just in time.
I think he's only had one stinker game since this thread got started.
Finley lurks. Cannot compliment. Must keep him sharp.
Yeah, he's had a good run, but he needs to do it until the Spurs are hoisting another Larry O.
Apparently all it took for Finley to go on a blazing hot streak was a thread dedicated to watching his production..I take full credit..
Last two games for Finley have been solid. His best game has probably been tonight. Too bad it was a loss. I don't think anyone can question whether he has stepped up in Manu's absence.
Charlotte: 29 mins, 4-6, 2-4, 10 pts, 2 rbs, 2 as, 1 to
Lakers: 39 mins, 10-17, 5-6, 25 pts, 3 rbs, 1 to, 1 stl
well , can you start another one for Duncan, Parker , Ginobili, Bonner, Thomas, Oberto, and Mason?
The perfomance against the Lakers.
10-17 with 5-6 of those being on treys for a 70% plus f.g.a.? Plus he at least tried on defense and actually went up in traffic and got a rebound?
This is what an obscene 20+ million a year player, one who has made more money then Tony Parker and Manu GNob combined should play like.
Pry Eric Park off Fins nutts for a moment and i will get in and give props for this game!
Michael ing Finley showed last night that he still has something left and in a big game, he will step up. I think he wants to go out with one more ring...he's not gonna go out without a fight.
I was finally able to watch a replay of the game and it was worth watching to see Finley have a terrific game.. don't know what he had for breakfast but he was really motivated.
