Take a look who is in the backround.![]()
Micheal Finley deserves his own thread. He was raw as gravy tonight. Scoring 16 points on 60% shooting (6-10 FG) and 2-3 from the three point and the last one couldn't have come at a better time with 2:45 left in the 4th, giving the Spurs a 5 point lead. His aggressivness and will to win have been really impressive and I'm really glad we signed this guy!!
Also, I love his post-dunk actions, first with his little shoulder shrug in Game 5 and now with the head-butt in Game 6.![]()

That three gave us a 3 poine lead actually, which makes it even more crucial. Especially since he did it with a defender parked right in front of him.![]()
I have said it before and I will say it again. After this seasons championship Finley will go down as the best Spurs FA signing ever.
Take a look at Mark Cuban.
It looks like Cuban just his pants scared.
"damn why did we let him go"?-cuban
Finley is now one of my favorite Spurs of all time. He is such a great guy and to respond to the bull harrassment nutless Dallas is throwing at him the way he is damn inspiring.
His header after the dunk was classic!
Finley is a bad man, to hit those shots against his old team with all those idiot fans booing. 45 minutes too, not bad for a washed up old geezer.![]()
wow... i knew he had a great game.. .but 45 minutes... what's even more incredible is that he kept up his high level of play throughout crunch time. Amazing.
He wants it...I'm glad he's playing for us, because he's been hungry...he joined Manu and Tim who were carrying it down the stretch in the 4th.
3 Dunks in a row to get our team pumped...Props to Finley for stepping up.
Hear Hear to Michael Finley... You and Gino saved our asses tonight. That header on the dunk was classic and one of the few things I had never seen in a basketball game before. Here's to sticking a DAGGER in Cuban and the Mavs all the while cashing their checks. You are officially the MAN.
Finley=stud... He is the difference in this series. He has put out in playoffs. He is a great player. His D will pick up. I just think he did a great job on Dirk tonight.
Michael Finley's last 3 games:
42 minutes
47 minutes
45 minutes
He used to always lead the league in minutes played when he was younger...but he was never as hard as he is now.
Those Dallas fans boing him like that has changed him...You can tell it bothers him, but he's not laying down...
After his dunks now....he muscles up, he hits the ball off his head, he's sending a message that if they want to be his enemy then he's going to be their worst ing nightmare...they made it personal and he's the boogey man now.
He is seriously hurting his old team the past 3 games, it's got to feel good to him.
Not only that but, even though he'll never be great at it, he's busting his ass on defense with a ton of time on Dirk.
The game was tied until he hit that 3 and he hit the 3 in Dirk's face.![]()
Yeah, his postgame interview he spoke about it. Mentioned leaving it all out on the floor for that team and city. And that they call him a traitor, but it wasn't up to him at all. You definitely could tell it bothered him. I think the term he used was disheartning.
You gotta love the head but of the basketball back to the ref too![]()
He also said it made it easier for him to focus on his job...mentioned that earlier in the year when they cheered him it was harder to play against them.
I guess we should thank Dirk for that assist...
Wasn't it Finley who was in Dirks face when he missed his 3?
That's right, I had forgotten about that. And ya know, I never thought about it that way until he mentioned it.
I think those 20 minutes or so when I wasn't breathing at the end of the game did some damage to my memory![]()
the mavs are a better team and thee is no way we could win this series without finely
You had trouble breathing? But you have such healthy...lungs.
