Really? Not Manu? Hm..

[lefty]

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks

[honestfool84]

this week:

Manu >>>>>>>> Tony.

[boutons_deux]

Weird. Manu goes into hero mode, single-handedly wins 2 close games, but Tony gets WCPOW?

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Tony deserves it putting up that 37 point game against the Grizzlies. Congrats Tony! :toast

Tony's getting it for putting up 37 on the Grizzlies, no doubt. Manu was much in the clutch, but I don't think any of those games he put up big numbers (maybe I'm wrong.) So while he was the most valuable player of the week for us, TP was probably the best.

[Bukefal]

Cool. That's nice :clap Some recognition. Good job TP

[WildcardManu]

Can't complain, it's a Spur at least.

[crc21209]

Even though TP wasnt as clutch as Manu was in back to back games against Milwaukee and Denver, TP was quietly the reason why they were even in the Denver game in the 1st half. If I remember right, he had about 18 points, 7 assists at halftime.

[Mel_13]

FWIW, Manu Ginobili was among candidates for POW nod Parker just earned. Two game-winners not enough.

timmay had 2 good games...lame

[Spurs Brazil]

Props Tony :tu

[it's me]

lol Manu is so fucking underrated it's not even funny hahahaha

[Harry Callahan]

Either guy could have won it and deserved it. I'm just glad TP is settling in and doing what he is capable of doing this year. I very much hope that I can see the gang in person during my Christmas vacation.

[it's me]

Props Tony :toast

Last week :

Ginobili : 19 pts, 47% FG%, 18,7 3P% 5,66 ast, 4 reb, 2,33 TO, 1 stl,
Parker : 25,5 pts, 56% FG%, 50% 3P%, 8,66 ast, 2,33 reb, 2 TO, 1 stl

Ginobili more clutch but Parker better overall this week

[boutons_deux]

It's Some Kind Of Wonderful when two Spurs have a week where both merited WCPOW, and Our Old Guy was right there, too.

Relish in the Moment. These Times Will Pass.

Manu had 3 great clutch plays but was not close to be WCPOW. 19/6/4 on 47% is not that great.

Manu deserved it lot of other weeks though

[Bruno]

Unreal...

[it's me]

Unbelievable...

[Muser]

Parker was so much better than Manu last week, stop kidding yourselves.

:lmao

Really, it could have been Parker or Manu this week. Manu was more explosive and clutch but Tony has been churning out points and assists lately.

And don't forget people, Duncan went off for 28-16-4 with 4 blocks earlier this week too, maybe the best performance by any Spurs player this season.

[DMC]

There's rarely a game where I don't say, at least a couple of times, "how in the hell did Tony get that one to go" or "jesus christ he's a blur". He runs like the road runner and defenders just act like he's going to bring it out but he goes through everyone on the floor and finds just enough room to get the ball through the arms, and up it goes and into the basket as he's on his back on the floor behind the backboard. Everyone else slows down on their approach, this guy has one gear, full throttle. He even shoots at full throttle and if that's not enough, he lays out to get that extra burst of speed at the end.

I don't see how writers ignore him so much, he's unbelievable.

It's hilarious to watch defenders backpedaling, and they are at the top of the key while Tony hasn't crossed half court, but Tony doesn't slow at all, and you see the panic in these guys' faces as they try to recover but it's always too late.

It was a hell of a game for him numbers wise, but Manu was a man on fire for a long stretch there... what a difference that guy makes in the final few minutes of a game.

[DMC]

It's great when you have several players that you think qualify for the player of the week, on the same team. These one man shows like Kevin "the fucking beast" Love are great, but the team doesn't win because of him. He needs to come to the Spurs.

[Pauleta14]

Last week :

Ginobili : 19 pts, 47% FG%, 18,7 3P% 5,66 ast, 4 reb, 2,33 TO, 1 stl,
Parker : 25,5 pts, 56% FG%, 50% 3P%, 8,66 ast, 2,33 reb, 2 TO, 1 stl

Ginobili more clutch but Parker better overall this week


That's among the things I don't like about the NBA, analysts give too much credits to the stats...

Tony deserves credit for his great week, but nothing deserves more credit than clutch plays and buzzer beaters!

What's the point of playing well if there is no W in the end?

[janetcn12]

Manu deserve it more than TP. Anyway, Kudos to TP

[justinandimcool]

If Bonner hit two game winners would he be player of the week?

Manu's plays were unbelievable, but Tony was the reason we were even in that Denver game, and the reason we beat Memphis.

What's the point of being super clutch when your team is down 20 at 3 minutes of the end because you are 1/7 and with 2 or 3 TO ?

Anybody who watched the games last week saw that Ginobili had a couple of games where he was great only at the end. And without TP theses games would have been already over.

It's not just statistics.... You can't be the MVP (of the week, team or whatever) if you show up only in the last 5 minutes

It's not a shot at Manu, he deserved the player of the week a lot of other weeks and had very few bad games this season. But last week he was not the spurs MVP IMO

[DMC]

Ask Manu. He will undoubtedly say he had bad games but was able to contribute in key moments, but that Tony kept the Spurs in the game. It's not like Parker hasn't done it before. He just rarely gets any credit for it.

[Spurologist]

:clap Tony Parker

[Leetonidas]

Last week :

Ginobili : 19 pts, 47% FG%, 18,7 3P% 5,66 ast, 4 reb, 2,33 TO, 1 stl,
Parker : 25,5 pts, 56% FG%, 50% 3P%, 8,66 ast, 2,33 reb, 2 TO, 1 stl

Ginobili more clutch but Parker better overall this week

:wow

That's alarming

[ElNono]

Congrats Tony, well deserved :tu

[will_spurs]

The part that's often forgotten is that Parker scored his 37 points against the Grizzlies on 71% shooting (including a 3-pointer). You read that right.

[ducks]

cool
not james

[ducks]

Manu deserve it more than TP. Anyway, Kudos to TP

if it was not for tp great first quarter against the nuggets manu could not have had his 7 seconds at the end of the game

[timvp]

You know times are good when we can argue which player deserves the player of the week award.
