Hopefully this helps get some of his confidence back.
Fin was 5-10, but the rest of the team was 5-19.When it isn't dropping, they (yes this means you Manu) need to ballfake and get a closer shot, if not all the way to the rack. The Spurs rarely win when they loft this many treys. 20 to 22 treys seems to be a good count.

That was the incredibly BAD shot he put up after they had scored 4 straight trips. He overdrove and had to shoot back at the basket, a horrible angle. It's shots like that that keep him from actually being MJ instead of a beta simulation.

Finley's good at getting some rebounds I noticed. When he wants them.

Definately the hightlight of FIN's Spur career.
Lol you got viggenja37. He loves putting pictures up. He is all over dallasbasketball.com
Still, until he can do that on a regular basis, I'll call him Michael "Even a Blind Squirrel Gets a Nut Sometimes" Finley
I guess some of you forgot all of the games he won for us last year...
I wouldn't say he's clutch, but that shot was huge.
Don't get used to seeing Fin do that on a regular basis. He had a few nice shots like that here in Dallas, but more often than not he cant hit the big shot, especially in the playoffs. But it was a nice shot, congrats to Fin and the spurs fans.
Yeah I wouldn't call a guy who has won half a dozen or more games for us clutch...
Ya the guy is all about Fin and trying to relieve the good ol' days he had here in Dallas with all those Finley pictures
Fin has been in a slump since he has been with the Spurs. I have always felt that he was going to get hot at some point.. hopefully that time is now..
Huge shot for Finley and huge win for the Spurs. It's a confidence builder for sure in both regards. GO SPURS!
"Fin has been in a slump since he has been with the Spurs."
look at his annual PPG with the Mavs, a steady decline before he came to the Spurs.

He's hitting much better in Jan than in Nov and Dec.
he will hit in june better
I guess everybody is quick to forget how many BIG shots Fin hit in that Dallas series last year? If Manu does not foul Dirk on the final play Fin is a hero in that series.
