Didn't even notice that Parker was having such a great week. You know you're good when you're putting those kind of numbers without making much noise.

Props. Manu seriously has a case to be co-player of the week. I guess that's a good sign that the backcourt is in good hands at the moment.

I'm guessing they people who decide these things saw 1-for-5/6 T.O. for Manu against Utah and moved on. He is playing awesome though.

[Mal]

Gratz TONY, keep it goin

[DPG21920]

Nicely done and well deserved. The thing I love about Tony is that he makes things look so easy. Then you see Mason run a fast break and realize how damn hard it is!

[crc21209]

Slowly but surely the Spurs are starting to put it together, as always, under the radar, but thats the way we like it.

Not to mention Mason, Hill, and the way Finley is capable of playing. I know we'd miss Tim, but is there anyone who could beat us in a 6'7" and under version of the NBA?

[BlackSwordsMan]

manny got robbed

[Penya]

He deserves this award (and manu too). Good job, keep improving!

[ManuTP9]

tp!

[Brazil]

Props to TP 3 quality games for him.

Is it his first player of week of the season ? I don't remember if he had one after the 55 points game.

[tp2021]

Most underappreciated Spur, hands down.

[Spurs Brazil]

Props to TP, great season

[ClingingMars]

Church of Manu, explode.

[FromWayDowntown]

If Manu had played 4 quarters in SLC instead of 1, he might have been a candidate.

I don't really care which of them got the recognition; I'm just glad to see that they're both playing well.

whatever...you can't even look at shit objectively. Do you know what that means? See what I mean. Manu has tanked twice in the past week.

TP. Representing... rings, allstar bids, mvp, player of the week. :tu

Manu is a role player.

[all_heart]

Great job TP! We should just be thankful a Spurs is getting any props. Manu did good too and if he continues to play well he may just get it too, especially if the Lakers start to come down to Earth.

Speaking of TP and the Lakers, anyone notice that when Odom switched off on him, the Spurs usually bricked a bad shot or TP missed his usualy gimmies. Odom is just athletic enough to give us trouble on that switch up. Tony needs to either pass the ball or drive to the rim immediately and not wait around. I guess overall TP is at his best when he's on the move.

[RobSM64]

Woo TP! :clap

[boutons_]

Go Tony Go

many awards to come

[MI21]

25/6 against 3 tough opponents, 2 on the road. A lot of Spurs fans really take for granted what they have...

(Manu with 21/7/4 off of the bench...man, what a week for the backcourt :toast)

[afireinside20]

Way to go Parker!!!!!

[spursfan09]

great Job TP! Makes me happy when he gets the recognition he deserves

[Pauleta14]

Congrats TP!!
I not really imprsed by the number though...
The other west players may been not so good this week!

Any way, it"s good for the resume!
One more line...

[ducks]

you do realize he did this against cp3 and devon williams and steve nash

[Spurologist]

the spurs backcourt is ballin'

I think it was the ankle breaker on Nash and Barbosa that give him the player of the week honors

[m33p0]

Tony + Manu = AWESOMENESS!!!

[TDMVPDPOY]

tim duncan got snubbed? fuck that shit

[WalterBenitez]

[Manu-of-steel]
