Not a bad idea.
OK, some rich lawyer in Dallas gave out Terrry jerseys to the front row to support that POS and everyone wore them... even Emmitt Smith. GRRRRRRRRR!
So, to everyone going to the game, and any rich SA lawyers with a clothing sweatshop ... can we wear/passout FInley jersey's tonite? What a show that would be. I really feel for the guy being tossed out and turned on by his owner and the fickle fans.
I am trying to get tickets that i can afford but doesnt look good! Best I can do is the HEB/Exp News pin.PLEASE show Finley what real fans are like.
Cuban - (insert insult here).
Not a bad idea.
That would be REALY awesome.
Come on Tpark, step up to the plate!
Why mimic Dallas fans?
It's about team, not man.
We are not mimicing Dallas fans. they are turning on a former star player for their team , one who cuban pushed fans to boo, one who got racked in the balls by a former teammate.. for what?
No, we are showing Finley what fan support is like - this is a positive gesture not a negative one. Finley must need it. Can you imagine how he must feel? It is revolting what the fans in dallas are doing to him.
I, for one, appreciate him and want to show it the best way I can.
Still, the point eludes you, but i will try again...
Cuban and the fans are turning on Finley for NO reason other that Cuban said to. Finley has done nothing wrong!
AJ, however, if he is doing a Cuban can rightfully be called to task as he is now turning into a Cuban (if he is). See the difference?
Finley = innocent
AJ = Not so much - promoting grabbing players balls, etc....
Yeah...AJ was really promoting grabbing players balls. That fight with Malik Rose in the shower in Cleveland makes more sense now.
But I see your point, the situations are totally different. Finley couldn't get Dallas over the hump, whereas AJ drained a championship winning shot for the Spurs.
The point eludes me.
were spur fans mad when sean elliott got traded
were they mad when speedy went somewhere else
what about if david signed with new york?
I think we still love malik and devin brown(home town kid go utsa)
That said people have been shwoing alot of hate towards AJ though
You know, it would have impressed me a whole lot more had said lawyer taken the $10K or so he spent on jerseys and donated it a prostate cancer research fund ...
I Learned That Mavs Fan Are Moron And Stupid.....
I Think Mavs Fans Praying About Game 8........hahahahahahahahaha
I HOPE MAV FANS IS WISHING GAME 8...HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!
My feeling is this: Finley, AJ, Rose all made great efforts for their teams, and fans should appreciate that and never forget it. Most of us here still love Rose, and will cheer him everytime he plays here. I still like AJ, but am starting to wonder. Sean Elliott... the best.
In this particular case, Finley was cheered my Mavs fans earlier in the season. Now, after being punched in the balls, and after Cuban pushed the fans to boo and reject Finley, they make Finley feel like in his old home.
This is what is so assenine to me
I understand that you are in the middle of a battle with one of your players' former team, but it was a sound decision, It was an addition by subtraction not because of Finley's play or his at ude, but because they had a glut at the 2/3 spot with Josh Howard, Marquis Daniels, Jerry Stackhouse, and Michael Finley.OK, some rich lawyer in Dallas gave out Terrry jerseys to the front row to support that POS and everyone wore them... even Emmitt Smith. GRRRRRRRRR!

Daniels and Howard are much younger and have shown more promise. So this became a decision between Jerry Stackhouse and Michael Finley.
Stackhouse's salary: 2-years, 15.5 million dollars at age 31 and 32.
or
Finley's salary: 3-years, 51.8 million dollars at ages 32, 33, and 34.
They made the same decision when they traded Antoine Walker for Jason Terry, drafted Devin Harris, and let Steve Nash walk.
All they needed Finley to do was what Stackhouse has become - a player off the bench that is starter quality. He made it clear last season he wouldn't take that role. The Mavs may have not done the right thing 100% by Finley, but they did do the right thing for their franchise.
No one can argue that Josh Howard wasn't worth putting in the starting lineup over him and that there's nothing Stackhouse could do at half the price and a little younger.
Let's not forget the same thing almost happened with the Admiral. Timmy doesn't convince him to come back at half the price (for only two years), he's starting alongside Ben Wallace and Cliff Robinson in Detroit.

No argument there. Totally agree that Mavs fans have gone schizophrenic.
The question is: Why am I supposed to hate AJ for similar asinine reasons? The guy was nails. He gave you, me, and every other Spurs fan a moment that we will remember forever. Keep that in mind. Forever.
And I'm supposed to pretend that he's an asshat just because he cashes Mark Cuban's checks now?
I still think everyone should wear protective cups worn on the outside.
I heard on tv that the jerseys would be auctioned off to charity afterwards
so I think that sort of invalidates your point.
I mean imagine how much a jersey worn by emitt would be worth to someone with cash to spend that coudl be donated to charity.
you might think that cuban may be an ass but he sure does give his money away to charity and enjoy it.
you make a good point NASH walked away
and finely was fired
seems the mavs should be mad at nash for leaving or for cuban not giving nash a pay cut. maybe it is because finely went to the spurs and not mami. I guess it woudl be like if devin went to the lakers. He wouldn;t have just left he would have went to an enemy.
I still support AJ, but it is waning now... based on his actions not anyone telling me to drop my support for him. But, i need to see more before i write him off. Still the Little General to me (well, maybe full colonel)
If that's the case, then I agree, it does change the situation and I would salute the guy that bought the jerseys.Funny I don't see anything about this on the Mavs site or in the Dallas media, tho.
At the same time, once again here we have someone giving props to CUBAN when it was the LAWYER who bought the jerseys. Just like they gave probs to Cuban when AMERICAN AIRLINES gave away free tickets.
But perhaps the most appropriate gesture came from season-ticket holder Neal Hawks, who purchased blue Jason Terry jerseys for everybody on the front row.

does finley really even give a ? i really doubt it
I think he does. That is why he was playing so damn good. He loved that community and the community turned on him.
He has already said it bothers him. And it would bother any one of us, too, unless you have no heart.
