i'd have to say, as much as i hate the spurs, your really talking up the mavs.. i mean, your over rating them.. j howard is good, but he's not too consistant.. and dampier, the guy is a hack yet you think he's going to stop the spurs somehow.. we'll see.. spurs will go down game 3, but watch them take the series from there on

As for Jimbo's comment on Terry being more offensively minded than Nash... WTF... If there's a better offensively minded player in the NBA please stand up....
Terry is no where as good as Nash, never was, never will be. Nash' lost has caused the likes of Dirk, Howard, and Stackhouse to all step up. That's what a team does when they lose good players.
Finley wasnt providing a punch that the Mavs needed. He's gone from a starter near 20ppg, to a Benched player with about 8ppg... Says a lot.
Dampier's not gonna stop the Spurs, but he'll hurt them on the boards. As will Diop.
If Josh Howard continues to spark and shine like he did in Game 2, Bruce Bowen will have a new player to guard, forcing Duncan/Horry to defend Dirk. Which will really hurt the Spurs.
All I can say is look for Games 3 & 4 to decide the series....

JZA said:at this stage of his career finley is just a role player, he can be called upon to sub for 10-15 mins a game and shoot some J's thats about it. still valuable and fits in well with the other bench player shooters like barry, van exel, horry etc. thats a great, experienced bench right there.
