Another nice night for Fin:

M. Finley 29 7-13 4-4 0-0 1 5 1 0 4 0 4 18

Another interesting note: he definitely does much better as a starter (46.5 3pfg% - yikes!):

G Min M A Pct M A Pct M A Pct Off Def Tot Ast TO Stl Blk PF PPG
12 31.8 5.0 11.2 44.8 1.7 3.6 46.5 1.4 1.7 85.0 0.4 3.5 3.9 1.4 0.9 0.8 0.2 1.8 13.1

Who was it that said Finley can't jump anymore? He dunked on Travis Outlaw again tonight. Damn near rode him like McGrady did Bradley last year. Not sure if Sportscenter will show it but it's in the highlights on the NBA page.

Damn that's nasty. I missed it. Isn't this the second time? Didn't Fin dunk on him just as nasty last year or the year before? What does he have against Travis Outlaw lol?.

Fin..definitely has a few more good years on him, but we couldn't keep him imo.

Still wished we'd have gotten a draft pick for him somewhere but no one was going to take that salary.

Dtownsfinest · 01-08-2006, 03:05 PM

Yea. I'd atleast taken a 2nd round pick for him with all the magic we've done in the drafting players in latter rounds. My frustration was never losing Finley. Just going another year losing a starter and gaining nothing in return. Hopefully the cycle has ended. From here on out we will no longer lose contributors for nothing. We'll be nothing in the next 3 years if we keep doing that.

Dude, what was the whole story behind the T-Wolves and Finley situation? I was reading an article a couple of months ago after the Spurs and T-Wolves game and they brought up a deal that was going to have Finley sent to the T-Wolves and Cassell sent to the Mavs. I never heard about this during the offseason but its been brought up a couple of times this season.

dude1394 · 01-08-2006, 03:25 PM

Can't tell you dtown. I heard something but I'd have to research the board to find it.

dude1394 · 01-12-2006, 10:33 PM

Pretty typical fandom over at the spurs home tonight. First of season he's greatness, bad game against detroit and he's toilet paper.

True enough. Although I don't hope bad for fin, I surely hope he doesn't sniff a championship this year.

Also with all of the OH MY GOD LOOK WHAT THE SPURS HAVE DONE THIS OFFSEASON!!!

This is kinda sweet. Now hopefully mavs will kick their butt too.

Dtownsfinest · 01-13-2006, 02:40 PM

Ahh that site isn't that bad. Woai.com are the ones ripping him a new a-hole lol.

alby · 01-13-2006, 03:34 PM

Fin really looks like he is having a tough time this year. I hate to see that for him but I'm glad hes not at his career avgs.

I don't get this comment snoop. You hate to see having a tough year yet you are glad isn't doing well by playing at his averages?

I've always liked Finley and I hope he has a great year....just not during the games he plays us. Although, I've always said, to be the best you should beat the best and if Finley is on a better team....let's beat him.

dude1394 · 01-13-2006, 08:28 PM

I must admit I hope that fin does NOT help the spurs get top seed. So I can't be happy for him to play well.

Drbio · 01-13-2006, 08:36 PM

I don't understand why you can't wish Finley well and hope harder that the Mavs earn the #1 seed.

Don't think bad of me doc. I just don't think it works that way. I couldn't hope that duncan plays well also. I have to hope he doesn't play out of his mind.

Do you hate me?

Drbio · 01-13-2006, 10:28 PM

LOL dude....I hope you didn't take that as harsh....I was just saying you know?

My piont is if he is at 20ppg we would all be inagony that he is not on the mavs much less a spur. So I'm feel bad that hes not doing well but I would feel worse if he was tearing it up
