    What do you guys think about Finley starting over Bowen?

    Nothing personal, just want to hear others opinions.

    NO!

    Like Kori said, Bowen will be useless of the bench.

    Naw, not gonna happen. Finely isn't the better option, but he is probably the bench player in the league now.

    No way Bowen knows the system too well and he is our defensive stopper, he is the starter.

    This, to me, is about finding scoring off the bench (anyone remember Pop moving Manu to the bench against Denver, just to find some offensive continuity and spark?) while providing some insurance in case something happens to either Manu or Bruce.

    The lineup stays intact.

    Let finley give the bench another scoring option...the starters have enough scoring punch.

    no.

    Finley is coming here for a bench role. Pop told him that in Chicago. Bowen will start and continue to stop the top perimeter players in the league.

    Finley will flourish in a reserve role on this Spurs team. Side notes, Finley is coming off ankle surgery, has reoccuring hamstring problems, etc.

    The Spurs are deep as the ocean. Life is good.

    NO! Bruce is the DPOY and the best defensive team is going to sit him, i don't think so.

    This is the issue you Spurs fans should most be cautious about, because Finley was even quoted as saying he believes he has a lot of basketball years left. I'm sure he wants to play as many minutes as possible and does not want to be reduced to a 16-18 bench role player. I think he may even have some issues if he doesn't get playing time in close games in the closing minutes of fourth quarters. It's something you as fans should monitor throughout the season to see if he accepts his role off the bench.

    Don't get me wrong, it's still a GREAT SIGNING. And, I think it will work out for the Spurs very well. I just think I would watch out for any disgruntled feelings when and if Finley doesn't get the playing time he feels he deserves.

    Nope, Bowen takes care of the league's best players, and when they get put on the bench, he will get replace by Finley who will school any second team.
