Can you say automatic bid into the NCAA DIII tourney? Down to Indianola, Iowa Friday for the games. Im so psyched. We now return you to your regularly scheduled NBA chatter I have a couple friends that started guard on a men's D III championship team. I would rather watch them then a group of people making 10 mil a year. It means something. Congrats. I cannot imagine how excited you are for a close family member to have that chance.

Magpel Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Don't look now, but Finley is starting to really contribute in San Antonio...danger, Will Robinson: another guy who can hit big shots, get hot, carry you down the stretch in a close game. This team was designed to blossom in the postseaon, I think. Hey, I would love to see Finley get a ring. He's a classy guy and an admirable player, all the way back to his Phoenix days.

Dick Ward MP Hall of Fame Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Finley is my BOY in NBA2k6. Got him on my Bobcats team and he lights it up. I'd like to see him do well..... but not so well that the Pistons lose.

Dont get caught up with Finley having two hot games in a row. I'm sure Pop is going to limit his minutes to very few in the post-season because of his inability to drive to the hoop. Actually, he has the ability, but obviously prefers to shoot the jumper 99 out of a 100 times. Finley has the ability to get cold streaks just like his hot streaks. When you miss jump shots, you give a team like Phoenix or Dallas a chance to get a head start on their fastbreak and limit the Spurs ability to play stingy half-court defense. Other than the stupid offensive mistakes and Dirks inability to post up in the block on Bowen, the lack of transition offense in the second half was the reason Dallas lost. Of course, with Finley hitting his jump-shots, it's hard to notice the transition game. I'm not bagging on Finley. I adored him when he was in Dallas for his stone-cold shot making...however, he has progressively lost a step and will be a liability for the Spurs in the playoffs. I hope he plays in the playoffs...lol BTW, Finley is a classy guy...the most overpaid wealthiest classiest guy in the league that is....I don't feel sorry for him. I'd rather see Nash grab a ring first.

jackpine Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Ok....small time intrusion number 2. I just got back from beautiful Des Moines, IA, where my Stout Blue Devil women went 2 for 2 to break themselves into the Sweet 16 for NCAA DIII. Pretty easy game on Friday. Then we played the home court Simpson collage girls. What a battle, but we persevered. Just got the call that they are playing the next round in Seattle.... this really sucks....

Magpel Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 GO STOUT! So, steady, you beat the somewhat struggling Pistons. Good show. Makes for an interesting matchup tonight against the Spurs. If you guys make it back to back wins against the 2 best teams in the league, I'll start paying attention. Seriously. Great opportunity for the Lakers.

steadyb Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Yeah, these guys drive me crazy. There have been games where the whole team gives a 48 minute effort, and they look amazing, but more often, it's just Kobe, who gives total effort every minute he's out there. He was sick as a dog vs. the Warriors and the Pistons, and still went for 40+. If they play defense all night like the Pistons game, we could do well tonight.

musicalaccents Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 SteadyB...I feel your pain. Finley was on fire against my Mavs. However, if the Lakers match up vs. the Spurs in the 1st round (which I hope it's my Mavs, but doubt it due to injuries), then Finley will probably vanish and not be played much. Just hope that Ginoboli's acrobatic act is left at the circus.

Magpel Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 wee bit OT: I am getting the most wonderful sports fan thrill this week, and from the most unlikely place, as the Syracuse Orange--one of my core teams, on par with the Yankees and NYG--has come up golden in the big east tournament, playing themselves into an NCAA bid with three consecutive heroic last second performances by Senior guard Gerry McNamarra, the last playing player left from the national championship team. The win over #1 UCONN was a thrill but tonight's absolute "steal" over Georgetown was an even greater thrill. 'Cuse took its first lead of the game with 5 seconds left, after trailing by 15 at the half. McNammara is all blood and guts and heart right now. Unreal. It's been an incredible joy!
