NBA Finals: Tim Duncan starts slow, finishes big in Game 1 win
Earlier in his career, when head coach Gregg Popovich opted to bring Manu Ginobili off the bench in favor of less talented players like Brent Barry and Michael Finley the saying went "It doesn't matter who starts the game, but who finishes it." In honor of Tim Duncan's Game 1 of the the 2013 Finals I'd like to amend that saying to "It doesn't matter...

Daily Haze: Week 15 Waiver Wire Adds
Both of my Rob Gronkowski teams were one-and-done in the fantasy football playoffs.
No surprise.
In Week 14 I suggested streaming the following tight ends if you were a Gronk owner: Tony Scheffler (scored a TD), Greg Olsen (scored a TD), Jared Cook (scored a TD) and JerMichael Finley (crapped the bed). Unfortunately, I started Finley in one of my Gronk leagues and lost by less than...

A veteran of 15 years, Michael Finley is apparently eying a return to the NBA. Does he have a realistic chance of playing again, and if so, what are some likely destinations for the accomplished two guard?
Michael Finley Wants to Be Like Mike and Return to the NBA
If Michael Jordan can do it, why can't Michael Finley? There are far too many reasons for me to name here. However, that doesn't keep Finley from wanting to make a comeback. The former Dallas Mavericks forward has been working with Mark Cuban in the team's front office, but he's been staying in shape and wants to play again. According to Marc Stein of ESPN...
Michael Finley, Architect of Arguably Worst Dunk in NBA Slam Dunk Contest History, Considering Comeback (Video)
At the tender age of 39, Michael Finley is considering a comeback to the NBA. We say, go for it. Finley did not exactly look like a spring chicken coming off the bench for the Spurs and Celtics in the 2009-10 season, but if he thinks he can make a difference for an NBA team as he closes in on the big 4-0, who are we to crush his dreams?
Then again, Finley’s comeback should be given...
Finley, Dixon and McDyess all preparing for NBA comebacks
Last week it was Juan Dixon.
Now Michael Finley wants to call it a comeback.
Apparently age is nothing but a number to guys like Dixon (34 years old) and Finley (39 years old) as they still feel like they have something to offer to NBA teams around the league besides a chance to increase a teams’ average age.
ESPN.com’s Marc Stein is reporting Finley -- the former Phoenix...

Will Cuban and Kidd ever get back together?
DALLAS Michael Finley once told me that loyalty is not about how you're treated by a team while you're playing. It's about how you're treated when you're done playing.
Judging by the frost coming from Mark Cuban, don't expect the Jason Kidd and Dallas Mavericks to make up anytime soon.
The emotions are still too raw at the upper end of the Mavericks organization...

Folks, we've made it once again to that time of the year, where picnics, beer and football reign supreme! Everyone has their own respective football team they can't live without, but for now we will talk about the Green Bay Packers.

POTD 5/20/12: Blake Griffin on Tim Duncan, Again
Blake Griffin may have been swept out of the semifinals, but hey, at least he got there! As a second (or third, depending on how you choose to look at it)-year Clipper, that’s actually one hell of an accomplishment. On a lighter note, back-to-back POTDs over the same defender… that’s quite an accomplishment too. As a matter of fact, I’m not sure it’s ever been done...
Bonner climbing the Spurs' record books, has Finley in sight
San Antonio Spurs' Matt Bonner is one of the Spurs' biggest threat from the three-point line and it is because of his specialty, he is on the verge of inching closer to a milestone in his Spurs' career.

This dog is pissed and sad.....just like we all are today.
Well Losers, its over. With a giant thud, the Packers’ laid a turd on the hallowed grounds of Lambeau Field. Somewhere Reggie White covered his face in disgust at watching what can only be described and an embarrassing display of football. The three biggest reasons the Packers’ lost are; Dropped passes, no pass rush...
Keeping It Competitive
Shaquille O’Neal was quick to protest the effectiveness of the “Hack-A-Shaq” tactic during the halftime show last night.

Shaq called Popovich’s approach a “coward move”, which didn’t stop...
