I hope Finley doesn't pull an Horry and disappear against his former team.

they are gonna cheer. thats a no brainer.
I agree.
They should boo Cuban and management, if anything. They ran him out.
Spurs 7-0 when Finley scores 20?Spurs coach Gregg Popovich gave Finley no guarantees of playing time. Still, there obviously would be a plum role for someone who'd averaged 19 points for his career.
Backing up Manu Ginobili, Finley averaged 10.1 points and 26.5 minutes.
He scored 21 points the night he turned 33 and broke 20 six more times. San Antonio went 7-0 in those games. Finley also played in 77 games, his most since '01, and started 18.
gee, how about another 20 for game3 Mike?
if he plays well i doubt he would contribute 20 points.Spurs 7-0 when Finley scores 20?

20 points from everyone that plays! Spurs 200 Mavs 85!
Finley just needs to relax and let the game come to him like he did the end of the regular season. He has plenty in the tank. Stackhouse might be a better overall player but I think Finley is a much better shooter.
It always comes down to making shots for the Spurs. I like our chances with Barry and Finley off the bench.
whoa are you saying Rasho/Nazr/Horry/Brent/Beno will contribute 20 at the same time too? in 48 min?
when Finley made that 20-pt game was the Spurs' score was 200?
i think this is more logical :
Duncan 24
TP 20
Manu 18
Finley 20
Brent 8
Horry 6
Rasho/Nazr 8
Bowen 6
we were averaging 108 pts in the last playoffs against the Suns, we can do it again. But this time Mike has to help more in scoring bec. Manu's not playing to his full potential yet.
I got a question...
Why is Stackhouse all of a sudden better than Finley? Since when?
Take a look at their career stats...Finley's better, across the board except for Stack scoring 1 more PPG and Finley's only a year older.
If Stack being able to create his own shot means he shoots 40% from the field and 30% from three...No thanks.
IMO, Stack is scarier at the end of a game(lots of guys are scarier than Finely at the end of a game), that's the one advantage he has.
i say he'll get a nice ovation. Im sure Mavs nation still loves him, just like we love Avery.
Speak for yourself when loving AJ!
I'll be there cheering for him and anyone in silver and black. Yeaaa!
He had his chance to be applauded when the Spurs came through during the regular season. Playoffs - time to boo.
Same with Nash last season. Dallas fans showed their appreciation when it was "just a game", but the boo-birds came out when the playoffs rolled around.
LOL...
They just played a sound bite on the radio of Dirk asking the fans to boo him...hahahaha
Stackhouse may not be much better than Finley but he's a much better fit for this particular Maverick team. Mavs really needed his toughness and leadership. Yes, he shoots a lower % than Finley but he keeps the team aggressive by taking the ball to the hoop and getting to the foul line. Finley is just a jump shooter which is really what the Spurs needed so I think it works for both team.
if mavs fans are so confident finley will disappear in crunch time, why boo?
They'll boo him at this point. It's war.
Because booing is supposed to make him play worse? I really doubt that Mavs fans that boo are doing it because they're afraid he won't disappear...
I'd think it could have the opposite effect actually...get him fired up...
Dirk was quoted in today's DMN as encouraging the crowd to boo Finley:

As far as Dirk Nowitzki is concerned, it's time to let the boos flow.
For the second year in a row, Nowitzki and the Mavs are playing against a former fan favorite in Dallas. Last year, it was Steve Nash and Phoenix. This time, it's Michael Finley and San Antonio.
Nowitzki said any sentimentality between him and his good friends is long gone.
"We're all over it," he said. "Hopefully, we'll win the series and move on."
Asked what kind of reception he thinks Finley deserves, Nowitzki said: "It's playoff time. I think he got his cheers in the two regular-season games. Now it's time to boo him."
What sort of reception does the former Mavericks guard expect?
"I haven't done anything wrong," Finley said. "Some will cheer me, and some will boo me.
"I left because they didn't want me, not because it was my choice."
Really classy, Dirk. I wouldn't have expected any less from the goatman.
dirk is a real asshole just like cuban.
thats not the first time dirk said something stupid
It's not bad, IMO. He's calling on his fans to root for the home team and boo the away team.
, when we trade Manu's sorry ass to Miami for Dwade, I'll boo Manu too. J/K
Yeah, Miami is gonna make that trade
