Michael Finley Sucks.

[MannyIsGod]

Looks like some in the Spurs community are finally starting to come around on the fact that many of us have been ing about since Finley was acquired. He aint . Pop and R.C. may have thought they were "pulling a major coup" by adding this guy to the team, but look at the net result.

Why do you think the Mavs gave up on him in the first place? Because his salary didn't justify his production. For that matter, the minimal salary the Spurs are giving him doesn't justify his meager production - not for a guy with his "supposed" skills and experience.

I'm telling you all, this is all you're gonna get from him. Consistent inconsistency. The Spurs would be better off simply giving Fin's minutes to Barry and Williams.

Finally starting to come around?

FINLEY KICKED ASS IN THE 2ND HALF OF LAST SEASON AND IN THE PLAYOFFS. WHAT THE DO SOME OF YOU NOT UNDERSTAND ABOUT THIS? A BAD MONTH DOES NOT MEAN YOU'RE DONE.


. Get back to me after the All Star break. I agree others need to play before him, but some people are so eager to say "I told you so" that they fail to realize the facts just aren't what they think they are.

He's not done, but we can't waste so many minutes on him when, as a pure scorer who brings few RB, defense, AST, he doesn't score.

The best place for him to fix his shooting problems is in practice, taking 1000s of shots, not in the games. I've never read an article from an aging athlete that said remaining compe ive got easier with age, or even stayed the same.

When the Lakers shut down Tim and the paint and force the Spurs to be jump shooters, we have to make our jump shots.

All the Spurs actually shot very well, except Beno and Michael who were 2 - 14. That's 12 RBs most of which the Spurs dind't get. Spurs lost ORBs, 5 - 14.

Lakers shot better %age and took 16 more shots.

Living in Houston, I don't see many Spurs games, but caught the Hornets game on TNT the other night. Now I understand what many here are saying.

The guy's shooting was atrocious--not that he missed, but how far off the mark some of his shots were.

Maybe he needs an eye check up and contacts because there is something horribly wrong when a normally good shooter's trajectory is way off to one side of the hoop. We can talk about "slump" but this looks like a physical problem to me.

He's shooting 10 points below his career averages.

Whatever.

[bdictjames]

What bothers me most is he gets more minutes than Barry and Pop doesn't seem to bother

[Mijaeb50]

Walker is one of the best additions the spurs have made in the last couple of years...he works hard and he is very exciting to watch

[ShoogarBear]

Walker?

[leemajors]

the lineup with finley at PF just scares me. not in a good way.
