BCBoy Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 NO WAY! San Antonio OVER PHoenix! Say it aint so!Finley would've helped Phoenix SO MUCH since they lost Joe Johnson, he would'vemade that team a contender but he went for a more estanlished winning team wherehe will have a good chance at winning another one there since they already got Nick Van Exel the day before.

lost_limey Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Good move by the Spurs. I'd have figured Finley would have preferred the suns, as he seems to have a game that fits their offense better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnWis97 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I don't normally cheer for a repeat, but I'd love to see Finley get a ring.

Jigga Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I'm a bit surprised he went to San Antonio. Seems as though Phoenix was a better fit with the wide open offense and they don't play defense. Guess this is the end of the Brent Barry experiment though. Finley definitely has lost a "step" but he's going to provide that offensive spark that Barry was supposed to bring. However, I shouldn't be surprised though. He's still collecting on that Dallas contract, so he's still getting his money and now he can chase that ring he never could have won in Dallas. Best of both worlds.

amare32 Posted September 1, 2005 Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 I'm a bit surprised he went to San Antonio. Seems as though Phoenix was a better fit with the wide open offense and they don't play defense. OK, bub. I'll concede that we didn't play much defense last year. But in the offseason we've added Kurt Thomas, Raja Bell, Boris Diaw and Brian Grant. All of those guys are strong defensive players. The only question is whether Grant is healthy, but I understand he is.We will continue to field an offensive-oriented team. Steve Nash makes the offense fluid, while Shawn Marion and my namesake are great finishers. Thomas has a solid mid-range jumper and can pass. Bell is an accurate perimeter shooter.And now, instead of just outscoring teams, we will have the depth and gritty roleplayers necessary to produce stops at the other end of the floor.But the biggest piece was already on the team. Everybody saw Stoudemire's offensive game improve tremendously last season. He has the talent and the motivation to become a defensive force.Remember the TD dunk he blocked lin the playoffs last season? Only a hint at what's to come. Watch out, disbelievers!

gashouser27 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I like Finley but he is not the player he was 5 years ago. He is not going to be a Joe Johnson. He will be a role player for the Spurs.The Suns will be okay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
