This is only our 3rd game of the season so far....and let me remind you this is the first game that Barry is actually playing well in those three games. It's way to early to write off Finley. He's just warming up
I can't put into words how much Finley has been sucking. what the is wrong with him??? Hopefully Barry is out of Pops doghouse and will play more minutes.

The minutes should go to whoever is playing well. Right now it's Barry so the minutes should be his. I expect Finley to bring it like he did last year so I'm not worried about him yet.
Finley started off slow last year.
Aint worried one bit about Fin.
If you forget he had a darn good game VS Dallas
Its the first time he's legit minutes in 3 games.This is only our 3rd game of the season so far....and let me remind you this is the first game that Barry is actually playing well in those three games. It's way to early to write off Finley. He's just warming up
Finley had the worst numbers of his career last year and sucked? I don't understand why everyone keeps "wanting Finley to play like he did last year." He had good playoffs...but during the season he was terrible.
You want my advice?
Give it up...you'll get less headaches.
It's not ever going to happen with Barry and the Spurs so you may as well just accept it.
Spurs fans don't like Barry and they never will.
And now he's getting older and his game is starting to deteriorate...it's a losing battle you fight.
Trust me...you'll enjoy the board more if you just let the haters have their hate and stop trying to change their minds.
Seriously, its comical. Even if they don't like Barry, thats fine. But don't ride Finley's nuts when he hasn't done .
Barry 20 minutes, Finley 20 minutes.
well the fact that it's only been 3 games into the season could be the reason why finley isn't playing good, and brents only had one good game wooooooow
finely>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>brent
Barry is a much better shooter. If both Finley and Barry lost their athleticism than Barry wins easily by pure shooting alone.
Im still waiting for that supposed "shooting"
He will have one game like this, then 12 ones.
After all Fin did at the end of last year, the countless games he won, and the fantastic playoffs, im shocked hes getting shat on like this.
I agree. Barry is only a better shooter when he actually pulls the trigger. I'll take Finley being overly aggressive on occasion over Barry passing up wide open shots.
Thank you.
brent musta pulled a red sox and knocked down some JD before the game and let er fly.
Keep shootin Fin
Now, if Barry keeps it up, I'm all for giving him time. I've always liked every other part of his game since he's been a Spur.
Agreed.
When hes agressive, taking the all to the hole, and knockin down shots, hes a valuable asset to the team....
From the ASG on Finley was great. It just took him some time. For the first time in a long time he was on a new team, in a new city, and in a new system. Once he settled in, he was huge for SA. He is a much better player than Barry. Period!
So the excuse is that he was on a different team the year before last?
Damn, some of you people are knee jerk reaction to the max. If you're going nuts about who's playing well and who's playing like after three games into the season - you have a problem. Save the stress for the playoffs or you're gonna have a heart attack like that Steelers fan last year
Well, it can only help the team if both of them are playing well, but like in the past when the Spurs have had championships, the vets have come through in clutch times. I like how Barry is stroking his shots, and it looks like Finley is hitting the front of the rim quite a bit, but both these guys are pros and each one will find a way to contribute. I'd really like to see both of them out there. I think Pop is going with the hot hand. ANd right now that's Barry.
Ironically enough, it didn't happen last year.
There is one major difference between Barry and Finley...
If Barry isn't scoring he won't hurt you with bad shots, and he'll usually find someone else in a position to score if he's handling the ball. This is what Barry can do...this is why the people that like him, like him.
Barry can pass, he can run the break and he can get guys easy baskets...he always has this skill(except for a brief stint against the Mavs when he choked).
Finley will shoot it like he's Jordan whether he has made a shot all night or not.
That's the main difference between them...and that's the reason one is given carte blanche to suck by Spurs fans and why the other one isn't.
I don't think there's anything admirable or ballzy about jacking up shots like you are an MVP when you can't hit the side of a barn...Spursfans think it means a player has balls and heart.
I'd just like to point out that we did win a le with Barry as basically our guard and SF back up rotation against a gritty and tough team while a 3rd of the team was injured...and we didn't with Finley against a softer and healthier team.
And I've never seen Barry miss a late shot to tie or win the game, or fail to make a winning pass in that situation...I haven't seen Finley do it yet.
Finley played well in big moments against the Mavs...but if you look, his shot was not there when we needed it most against the Mavs.
That's just my take...and I'm not saying Finley sucks because he doesn't...but neither does Barry, and Barry can do more when his shot isn't falling than Finley can.
Finley does one thing better than Barry..score. Barry is the better passer, shotoer and ball handler. I think he's also the better rebounder now as well(Tim Duncan and Horry are the only guys on our team that have pulled down more boards in a game than Barry). Neither one of them are going to make an All NBA D team.
He wasnt a Spur then so it doesnt matter. All I know is that after the ASG and thru playoffs, Fin was great. Thats all that matters.
like everyone said above, barry is great... when he actually shows up to play ball. his inconsistency hinders a more prominent role, and I would take finley's athleticism and decisiveness most nights of the week
Wasn't it Finley, not Barry, who came through and gave us that 3 pointer against the Mavs last season in Game 7 that tied the game after being down 20? And wasn't it Finley's versatility and atheleticism that allowed us to use him to guard Dirk, and why Barry wasn't given a lot of minutes during that series?
Actually, in game 4 Finley hit a 3 toward the very end of regulation to give ths Spurs a 2 point lead. In game 6 he hit the 3 IN DIRKS GRILL to ice the game. In game 7, a couple possesion before Manu hit that 3, SA was down four and Fin hit a HUGE 3 to cut the lead to one. That combined with his cluth shooting throughout the series (not to mention huge dunks!) goes to disprove your "his shot was not there when we needed it most against the Mavs." opinion.
