Tonight's MVP: Tim or Manu?

[myhc]

Or co-MVP's tonight? Tim carried us in the 1st half, Manu in the 2nd.

[Sense]

How about Bowen?

7-21 for Rip...

[ducks]

duncan
why great rebounding in first
kepted the team composided in first half

manu really struggled in first half with his shot

[Boo]

Manu.

[TDfan2007]

co-mvp or Tim mvp; 24 pts 17 rbs > 29 pts 9 rbs

[SilverPlayer]

Same team, so no competition. they both flat out balled tonight. Amazing.

[WalterBenitez]

TD+Manu

Co-MVP!

[Tres_Till_it_MHz]

Both guys were large when it mattered, I gotta give up to Manu. That finger roll to dunk was the sickest move I have ever seen.

[SouthernFried]

Tim made it possible for Manu to get his game together. Manu was sick in the 4th quarter...but Tim was there the whole game. When they said he had like 15 rebounds at the half time, I was sorta shocked. You never notice half of what Tim does.

But, you sure as hell notice what Manu does :)

[stéphane]

argh I definitely have to buy a Manu jersey...
this kid is amazing.
gotta love him

[T Park]

this is IMO a team win

Horry was solid

Mohammed was a stud

Duncan was MVP like

Ginobili was MVP like

Parker was decent

Glenn Robinson defensively was fantastic

Brent Barry, he uh, uh, he fuck it, he stunk as usual.

Beno was bad

Bruce Bowen was a stud defensively


TEAM effort tonight

the studes were though, Duncan and Ginobili, the CO Studs of the game.

[Mr. Body]

That finger roll to dunk was the sickest move I have ever seen.

What the hell was that??!?

My thinking was, "My God, he's getting all the way to the basket... finger roll, nice... oh Holy SHIT, did he just one-hand a finger roll into a slam?!" That was nasty.

[nkdlunch]

Come on dude, Tim was fucking Tim alright. But Manu made me jump out of my seat and scream like a fucking bitch!!!

[GopherSA]

Gotta be Manu.

I've obviously never played against him (and, as an untalented couch potato never will), but anyone who does what he does has to drive you nuts.

[mavsfan1000]

Manu is more exciting to watch but Tim was the MVP tonight. He got 17 rebounds to go with his points.

[E20]

The night belongs to the Spurs squad!!!!!!!!!!!

[Slomo]

Tim made it possible for Manu to get his game together. Manu was sick in the 4th quarter...but Tim was there the whole game. When they said he had like 15 rebounds at the half time, I was sorta shocked. You never notice half of what Tim does.

But, you sure as hell notice what Manu does :) I agree! Tim is still the mvp (not by much though :))

[ChumpDumper]

Can't snub 24 and 17.

Ever.

[stéphane]

I have to agree with T Park's analysis...
Big Dog really impressed me on the defensive end... who knew but the spurs staff that the guy could do that?

[beck253]

How can a guy that put a 4th qtr of 15 pts 6-6 FG against the best defense, breaks open the game with back breaking super skilled plays, his team forgets about him, game gets close again, gets the ball back, closes it with 3 straight plays out of this world. ...

how can he not be MVP of the game?

[B.AlMighty]

I'd have to say Duncan.
Once again he gets it quietly done and his 17 boards were crucial.

[SouthernFried]

If your only watching the 4th quarter...I can see your dilemma.

[Timoha]

I'd have to go with Tim as well. He was getting it done throughout the whole game. For a while, it looked like nobody could even buy a basket besides his, But he wouldn't have been able to do without Manu and Manu was amazing in the 4th.

[firepopovich]

yes im only watching the 4th quarter. nothing else matters until the 4th quarter. as spurs fans we should realize this. manu sure as hell does.

[cmc$purs]

MANU :king

[nkdlunch]

how can he not be MVP of the game?

I'm w/this man

[dn0]

both of them, I give an edge to manu because closing a game the way he did it against one the best defensive squads in the NBA finals is insane.

[bigbendbruisebrother]

What the hell was that??!?

My thinking was, "My God, he's getting all the way to the basket... finger roll, nice... oh Holy SHIT, did he just one-hand a finger roll into a slam?!" That was nasty.

I sat their during the commercial, rewound and watched that play three times. I still can't figure out how he turned a finger roll into a dunk.

He's a freakin' magician.

[Leetonidas]

What the hell was that??!?

I was thinking the same thing. :elephant

[myhc]

I'd go with Tim. Manu was playing out of his mind in the 4th quarter and essentially shut the door on the Pistons but Tim was the one who allowed him to have that opportunity. But this was the definition of a team win. Every single player on the floor was crucial for the win.

[Budkin]

Manu, no doubt... he really took it to the Pistons and showed them that this was our game and they were not going to win it.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Has to be Manu.

Terrible in the first quarter, came out and defended like a demon for the next two to get himself back in the groove, then took over with the game on the line and SCHOOLED THOSE BITCHES.

Tim second by a length.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Manu's the one who went and won it for us in the fourth. Give him the game ball.

[milkyway21]

i hope we are not trying to cause in-house rivalry bet TD & Manu here :nope.

anyway, will this do?

24 pts; 17 rbds; 2 blks; 2 ast

[Dingle Barry]

i fully admit that i've taken td for granted too many times in my life, but manu's perfect second half gets the mvp nod.

[dcole50]

tough call. duncan was more consistent. but manu really took over the fourth quarter and squashed the piston comeback.

if you can't give it to them both, i'll give the edge to manu.

[milkyway21]

i fully admit that i've taken td for granted too many times in my life, but manu's perfect second half gets the mvp nod.Dingle Barry, are you changing teams now? i thought i saw you had other favorite team the last time..just can't remember what team? Suns? :lol

[TDMVPDPOY]

Looks like stern the cheap bastard better get ready to make another finals mvp trophy or will he split the trophy down the middle in 2 costs saving :( :(
