Okay, Reality:
In a game lost by San Antonio by 3, you lay the blame on Finley?
Finley's poor rebounding? He had 8 boards - 7 defensive. In contrast, the other people who play his position - Ginobilli and Bowen - had 3 rebounds between them in 34 minutes apiece, as compared to Finley's 30.
Finley's "brick" tendencies? Finley shot a poor 4-11. Of course, Ginobilli shot an even poorer 3-16. And even you admit that it was Ginobilli who backed off of Korver - who is pretty much a 3-point threat. Yet you place the blame at the feet of Finley.
San An gave up 25 points off of 23 turnovers. How many of those are the fault of Finley? Well, considering he had *0* turnovers, I'd have to go with *0*.
Only four Spurs had offensive rebounds: Duncan, Mohammed, Nesterovic...and FINLEY.
The leading rebounder after Duncan and Mohammed? FINLEY.
Person who led the team in steals? FINLEY.
Finley produced the same points as your precious Ginobilli, and did it in less minutes.
If Finley's bad, then Ginobilli's freakin' worthless.
