Finals MVP if we win?

[jermaine]

If we pull this out an win the finals, I think Leonard deserves it for his rebounding, defensive play on Labrick, an active hands.

[HarlemHeat37]

Through the first 3 games, it's probably Danny Green, tbh:lol..

1- Green
2- Leonard
3- Duncan(his defense was critical in game 1 and game 3)
4- Parker
5- Neal

So far IMO..

[Floyd Pacquiao]

lol prob danny green

[Keepin' it real]

Leonard's defense of LBJ will give him the nod if Spurs can win the series.

[GaryJohnston]

so hard, its been such a team effort, but I give the nod to Whi for his play on both ends of the floor

[jermaine]

Danny Green will not keep this up. But Leonard aint gone stop. We affects the game in so many other ways then just shooting.

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Toss up between Green and Kawhi for me. Both have been stellar so far.

[soxxx]

Green and Kawhi thus far.

[Kidd K]

It's Green and Leonard.

I've been saying it all season, I was very happy with our matchups against Miami's big 3, and not just Duncan/Bosh.

I didn't think Leonard and Green would be this amazing this, it's crazy. :X

[urunobili]

TD slightly better than TP thus far...

[milkyway21]

Duncan was out when Heat started to come back then what about that cchase of the ball?
...but Green is the most consistent player of the Spurs since game 1

[therealtruth]

Too bad we couldn't have gotten Green and Leonard a couple of years earlier.

[Mal]

holy shit if Green gets MVP

[doobs]

Don't. Not yet.

[HarlemHeat37]

Too bad we couldn't have gotten Green and Leonard a couple of years earlier.

Bogans, Mason, Finley >>> Leonard and Green, tbh..

[timmy2003]

Probably Leonard. He has been consistent on both ends of the floor so far.

[barakz21]

It'd be a tossup between Green and Kawhi.

[JingleJangleJingle]

please let Danny Green win the Finals MVP lol

[Holden_Caulfield]

wade or bosh lol

[dg7md]

:lol if Danny Green wins Finals MVP. I'd love it.

But it would likely to go Duncan just out of the expected result.

[BatManu20]

I hate these kinds of threads. We're only up one game. Chill.

[wtgspurs]

Green is okay, But Leonard deserves it for his overall performance.

[naico]

Kawhi clearly. No denying.

[VinnyTestesVerde]

holy shit what a jinx.

http://img.pandawhale.com/26400-Abandon-thread-felix-red-bull-LsIl.gif

[jermaine]

I bet Labrick wish Green played like that when he was with the Cavs. Labrick had him as his dance partner though. Lmmfao

[Juggity]

Leonard's been consistently great on D and on the boards.

Green's been great on D and white-fucking-hot from 3.

[007nites]

Green or Leonard

[Fireball]

Just another reason for Stern to hate us if he does not know which guy to hand a trophy and talk about big stats

[Floyd Pacquiao]

who ever has the best all around stats will get it...

but lets not think about that now...

[Darkwaters]

I bet Labrick wish Green played like that when he was with the Cavs. Labrick had him as his dance partner though. Lmmfao

PS: Thanks Cleveland for cutting your draft pick Danny Green. We'll be sure to put him to good use.

[ducks]

parker got neal and green going to tonight
they are going to make tp beat them in game 4 they now know green will go off

[100%duncan]

It's between Green and Kawhi as of the moment tbh. Didn't think this will happen.

[jermaine]

holy shit what a jinx.

http://img.pandawhale.com/26400-Abandon-thread-felix-red-bull-LsIl.gif

No jinx. Thats why I said if we win. I didn't say when we win.

[timtonymanu]

OP saved himself with an "if we win it" post.

It's still going to go to Parker most likely for his Game 1 shot. If Duncan stops letting Haslem take him out of the game, he could win it too.

But this series belongs to Leonard so far.

[ivanfromwestwood]

Danny Green of course. Green has also guarded James very well at times. he is clearly outplaying Wade and Allen while keeping them in check.

[Jwash_1986]

Danny Green will not keep this up. But Leonard aint gone stop. We affects the game in so many other ways then just shooting.
I'm with you kinfolk I say Leonard. He's shooting down there most effective weapon.

[m33p0]

leonard. his defense (with ample help from his friends) on lebron throughout the series so far has allowed the spurs to do whatever they need to do on defense. tonight's game just put an exclamation point on it.

[Jwash_1986]

I feel like they play so much as a team it doesn't even matter at this point they all deserve that shit. It's been someone stepping up every time. It feels good being a spurs fan, I'm just enjoying the ride mane.

[The Reckoning]

i predicted kawhi to win in the pre-mvp thread tbh.

will bump if it does happen.

[milkyway21]

Green hit seven of nine 3s,

Tim Duncan chipped in 12 points and 14 rebounds for the Spurs (7 of that are the impt. offensive rbds)

one of the 2, so far,
2 more wins to go. too early to pick.

who knows Neal will turn cold again in game 4 :lol (knock on wood)

[TampaDude]

Let's just win the next two, m'kay?

That said, right now it's Green or Leonard.

[313]

Probably Leonard. He has been consistent on both ends of the floor so far. far from consistent on offense. All-Star D tho

[dbreiden83080]

Lonnnnnnnnng way to go... But Tim can still win if he picks up his shooting..

[GSH]

Let's just win the next two, m'kay?

That said, right now it's Green or Leonard.


Ridiculous to even be discussing at this point. But if it were over right now, I think they would pick co-MVP's.

Kawhi's D has been awesome, but Danny's has been pretty damned good, too. He's gotten the best of LeBron a bunch of times. The fast breaks have really been sweet, since LeBron is known for that. Danny has kept him from scoring, except for the time LeBron turned sideways and pussed Green, and got the whistle.

[ontheraise]

right now i 'll say that 's it's a "team mvp" would be great to see that for first time in nba history . would be a perfect fit for spurs philosophy. but we are not there yet guys , there is a long way to go , if we are lucky enough to lock this title down we ll have plenty of time to think about who s the mvp

[KL2]

Green really needs to work on his ability to drive to the basket and finishing ability, if this guy can create his own 3pt shot he's going to be an all star.

Also Leonard has been a monster defensively, his rebounding has been incredible as well, I think he may just be the best perimiter defender in the nba.

[Slutter McGee]

I hate these kinds of threads. We're only up one game. Chill. Yep ..as fans we shouldn't make these kind of threads...because my opinion has so much bearing on how the Spurs play.

Slutter McGee

[cutewizard]

Danny Green can be Finals MVP why not??

but the Spurs player who shines in Game Four could be the hero of heroes!!!

book it!!!!!

[Shabazz]

Danny is the leading scorer in the finals for the Spurs. We'll see what happens. But for my boy to even be in the discussion, this is a blessing.

Thank you for believing Pop.

[Gagnrath]

I'd give it to either De Colo or Baynes since its a team vote I believe and that would be the perfect way to troll stern.

[GSH]

Let's be honest, they're not giving roleplayers like Leonard or Green finals MVP. Even if they may 'deserve' it, they will give the nod to the career accomplishment of Duncan or the season media dick sucking overrated BS to Parker because he is more hip and outspoken than Duncan.

He's the leading scorer in the series after 3 games. He keeps it up, and they'll give it to him. Obviously you don't get the point here, either.

[TD 21]

To this point, yeah, it's got to be Leonard or Green, but let's be honest, if they're going to pull this off, it's going to have to be Parker or Duncan by the end and given the news with Parker, probably Duncan.

[Timmy4ever]

Green and Leonard co-MVP

[Shabazz]

Green and Leonard co-MVP


That would be awesome.

[Baam]

He's the leading scorer in the series after 3 games. He keeps it up, and they'll give it to him. Obviously you don't get the point here, either.

Nah he's still a spot up shooter, it'd be like giving it to Ibaka or something.

[imjunsul]

Usually stats get you that award but in this case it might be Kawhi getting the nod because of Lebron's numbers

[Kori Ellis]

It's a team effort so far, but if I had a vote, I'd give it to Timmy. If this is his last title, might as well get the MVP on his way out.

[DJR210]

NOOOOOOOO if this fool DG gets the finals MVP we add 3 million per year!!!

[Mouth is Bleeding]

fuck MPVs THIS IS A TEAM!

But tbh Duncan, always Duncan. Defense is half the game and no one is more important there. As great as Kahwi is it's still very much team defense/sttrategy on Bron and overall it's Timmy making it as good as it is.

[Kidd K]

Spurfans, I'd just like to point something out:

Finals MVP has always gone to the player with the highest PPG on the winning team almost every single time, with VERY few exceptions. The only ones being when the guy on the losing team had a vastly higher PPG than anyone from the winning team (like Jerry West).

So if the Spurs win, it'll likely just go to whoever scored the most points. For whatever reason, that's who the award almost always goes to. Defense tends to go overlooked.

I don't agree with it, but that's how its awarded. It really could end up being someone other than the Big 3, like Green or Leonard.

[therealtruth]

If anybody else had shown up with Green in game 2 we could be up 3-0. That really hurts now if TP is injured.

Good point. You could argue Ben Wallace's defense was MVP like when the Pistons won in '04 but Billups won anyway.

And it's just as rarely a role player/4th option so that doesn't mean anything.

Leonard has an outside shot when he's the third option, average a double double and guard Lebron James, Green doesn't have a shot imo.

[smrattler]

For people that hate LeBron, it would be hilarious to see him

A) Lose in the Finals again, and
B) For a 2nd year player to get the Finals MVP for the defense on him

Translation: Miami loses finals they "should have won" because LeBron got shut down by a second year player.

That would put a dent on that ego (if possible).

[Kidd K]

And it's just as rarely a role player/4th option so that doesn't mean anything.

It's rarely a "role player" because they don't lead the team in scoring. That doesn't really refute the PPG point.

[Kidd K]

Good point. You could argue Ben Wallace's defense was MVP like when the Pistons won in '04 but Billups won anyway.

Yep, or Bruce Bowen's defense on LeBron in 2007.

[Ninja]

I say give it to Lebron in a losing cause. That would be the perfect exclamation point on the series tbh. :lol

[marinoman]

Patty Mills, i love watching him on the bench

[m33p0]

Danny Green will not keep this up. But Leonard aint gone stop. We affects the game in so many other ways then just shooting.

16 made 3s in this series already. not saying he'll keep it up but most likely he will.

[m33p0]

And it's just as rarely a role player/4th option so that doesn't mean anything.

Leonard has an outside shot when he's the third option, average a double double and guard Lebron James, Green doesn't have a shot imo.

if that's the case, then it's Duncan. his defense and passing has been stellar.

[Staplepuffs27]

Can finals MVPs be given out as lifetime achievement awards? I really want Tim to get it....

[Matty2Cool]

Probably would be TD unless Leonard has 2-3 more dominant games with 20ish points 12 boards and some steals, plus if lebrons offense doesn't step up that would really make leonard stand out more for playing dat dere lock down d

[Kuestmaster]

Duncan, always Duncan. Yes, he's not super right now, but almost 14 points and 14 rebounds it's not small thing. And I have the feeling he's going to have a BIG game in the 4.

[TheyCallMePro]

Pop should say to Stern when he hands the Spurs the trophy:

"Thank you. You motivated us to get here when you incomprehensibly fined us 250K earlier in the season for resting our players. We knew then that we had to win it all so that at this very moment we could look you in eye and spit directly in your face."

[SA210]

Co-mvp's Leonard and Green

[Calispursfan11]

Unsung MVP is TD tbh. Running the offense thru him regardless of his offensive output worked miracles with the inside out game. We need to keep going to him consistently and hope the officiating doesn't get bad again. With fair officiating on the block, Spurs have a significant advantage going forward.

[Chinook]

And it's just as rarely a role player/4th option so that doesn't mean anything.

Leonard has an outside shot when he's the third option, average a double double and guard Lebron James, Green doesn't have a shot imo.

"Options" are things that fans talk about when discussing roles before games. Whether he's supposed in the game plan or not, Green is the leading scorer. That means he's been the best option for getting points in the series. Leonard has been wholly unreliable in that regard, and he's probably about the fifth option both because he's tired from guarding James, but also because he's so damned passive. Green's played so well that Miami has put James on him, and Green just kept scoring. It's actually really impressive.

This is what I said about it in the MF'ing Green thread:


Damn it, people need to stop saying that. Leonard's played great defense on James, but he's not the star (even defensively) that people are making him out to be. Save a few moments tonight, he's actually been pretty bad on team defense, and he gets a lot of help on James. I love his rebounding, but his lack of consistent scoring and strong team defense put him at a pretty distant second to Green as far as series impact so far.

Not only is Green doing work on offense, but I actually like the way he's playing James more than the way Leonard is. I don't think Kawhi's gotten into James' head, but I do think Danny has. He's made about a dozen incredible plays when matched-up one on one with Lebron, and I don't think James can get his head around that. He still sees Green as the player who got cut after one season with Cleveland, who never played when Lebron was there, even though the guard rotation there left a lot to be desired. You could tell that in Game 1 when you saw how he looked at Green when matched up with him in the post. When Green blocked James' attempt to force a jump ball, Lebron pointed to Danny as if to say, "I'm jumping against him? This'll be easy." Then James tipped the ball out of bounds. Save two moments, Green has really had James' number, and I think that's disconcerting for him. You can even see it in how he pushes Green around in the post now compared to in Game 1.

Bill Walton said in Game 6 of the 2003 WCSF against the Lakers that Duncan proved he was the MVP by taking on Shaq. He said that other players could look at their men and say, "If Duncan can take Shaq, I can take this guy." That's what being the most valuable player is all about. Green so far in the series has shown the Spurs that he can take Lebron on both ends. If that's not worthy of the MVP, I don't know what is

[Richie]

No question it'll be either Duncan or Parker if we win. No chance Kawhi gets it for defence.

If Duncan can start hitting his layups then he will get it, his defence and rebounding have been great all series so far.

[TheGoldStandard]

It's going to be whoever has a monster closeout game, Right now it's up for grabs between Danny and Kawhi, Kawhi for his great Defense and Danny for being consistently hitting shots and playing decent D. If Tony comes alive though for a game then they'll give it to him or Timmy

[taps]

I have to agree with uru on this one.

[AchillesHeel]

Danny Fucking Green would deserve it if he keeps this up but I think it will be Duncan regardless, kinda like Kobe in 2010 only that Duncan is not chucking his team out of wins. His rebounding and defense has been great, I think he'll pick up scoring and will even his stats out.

[John B]

Green probably but Leonard deservesso much for his great defense on La Bron, rebounding and overall hustle. But I'd love Duncan get huge games the next two games to win another one for all time greatness sake.

[wildcardX]

Not looking past the next game and these finals are FAR from done but so far in these playoffs the MVP would go to the Spurs TEAM as a whole. Everyone has their role and is valuable. From Tim's leadership, to Parker/Ginobili's clutch shots, to Patty Mills bench support, to Blair's energy in garbage time. At one point in these playoffs every player stepped up in their own way.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDJS9rFGCHE

[Rapper]

If we luckily win this series the Final MVP will be between TD or TP although both of them don't have proper individual statistics in game 2 and 3 Timmy and TP will take over the rest of the games for sure you can't expect Neal and Green continue to be flame throwers so at my point of view TP still stands a good chance to be selected as final MVP if we win it all

[lefty]

We are like the 2004 Pistons

No clear cut MVP, so the award would go to the leader of this team

Timmy

[John B]

The Spurs fans for the deafening arena. Keep it up!

[EJFischer]

I'd currently give it to Leonard, but Green is a close second. He keeps up this shooting pace and he could pull ahead. The job Kawhi is doing on LeBron, though, is astonishing. I keep reminding myself he's only 21. It's insane.

[Shabazz]

Most Points Through 3 Games 2013 NBA Finals: Danny Green 56, LeBron James 50, Dwyane Wade 43

[therealtruth]

It will pretty much goto Green if he keeps his scoring up.

[Richie]

As much as Im loving it, Green is just shooting open 3s that his team mates are setting him up for. No chance he has a shot at Finals MVP

[jesterbobman]

I liked Alex Kennedy's suggestion on Twitter of breaking up the trophy so that everyone gets a piece. #MeanGirls

[jermaine]

Can you imagine Leonard winning it an how his interview would go!?! Most boring finals MVP interview ever in history.

[Boomersgold]

Green or Duncan.

[jesterbobman]

Whatever happens, the fact that there's a chance that a non big 3 player gets it is amazing.

While I think I'd give it to Leonard, it's close. Green has been a brilliant offensive player, and his ability to hit 3's with some dribbling beforehand makes him more valuable. His 3's have included a lot of open spot up looks, and he's knocked those down. But they've also included shots with a bit of dribbling beforehand. Continuing to shoot an obscene % on those looks is great.

[milkyway21]

let's hear from ESPN : what do you think ESPN?



1. Unheralded Spurs Roll With Driven Duncan

By J.A. Adande | ESPN.com

SAN ANTONIO -- So much of this Night of the Unsung Spurs -- a night when Danny Green made seven 3-pointers and scored 27 points, when Gary Neal had six 3-pointers and 24 points off the bench, when Kawhi Leonard had a double-double and once again put in serious work to hold LeBron James to fewer than 20 points -- started with Tim Duncan.



Duncan had a game-high 14 rebounds, plus two blocked shots to go with his 12 points. He initiated so many of the San Antonio Spurs' 20 fast-break points. He ran back to be part of the transition defense that held the Heat to 11 fast-break points. The oldest man on the court was hustling to the sidelines and outjumping younger Heat players to tip rebounds to his teammates.


The Spurs' foundation made his mark on Game 3 even though they looked deeper than ever while thrashing the Miami Heat 113-77 to take a 2-1 series lead in the NBA Finals. The organization that made stars out of Tony Parker (drafted 28th) and Manu Ginobili (drafted 57th) is now getting trips to the NBA Finals interview room podium from the likes of Neal (undrafted) and Green (waived by the post-LeBron Cavaliers and cut twice by the Spurs before Green's voicemail plea to Gregg Popovich earned him a second chance).

Popovich was so proud of the efforts of these cultivated heroes that he actually turned verbose when asked about them after the game, calling Neal a "quality individual" and Green a "confident young man" as part of his answers that constituted full paragraphs, not blurbs.

The Spurs got contributions from so many people that their most dominant stretch of the game came after a strained hamstring forced Parker out of the game with 5:07 left in the third quarter. Parker said he "felt something on my hamstring." He was cleared to return and played a minute and a half in the fourth quarter, but the Spurs' cushy lead after quickly rebutting LeBron James' lone stretch of influence on the game made it unnecessary for Parker to continue.

And before you write off the Spurs if they get bad news from an MRI exam scheduled for Parker on Wednesday, keep in mind that they went 11-5 without him during the regular season:(
They would be diminished without Parker, but not necessarily done.

The Heat didn't allow Parker to make much of a scoring impact anyway the past two games. Tuesday night he was 2-for-5 from the field and scored six points in 27½ minutes before he came out. He adapted to Miami's defensive attack of having a big man jump out and stick with him off every screen by seeking out teammates and recording eight assists.

It was similar to Duncan's resolve to impact the game even when the ball wasn't coming to him.

"I'm just trying to do whatever I can," said Duncan, who was 5-for-11 from the field after shooting 3-for-13 in Game 2. "I don't feel like I have a great rhythm right now. I got some shots to fall, a couple of shots, but I'm missing a lot of easy stuff. But the one thing I can do is go out there and try to make some hustle plays, try to get us some second possessions and just try to find a way to help the team however I can."
• Duncan grabbed a rebound and whipped a 25-foot outlet pass to full-speed Parker, who flipped the ball to Neal for a 3-pointer just before the halftime buzzer.

• Duncan blocked a layup by Mario Chalmers in the third quarter, chased down the ball and saved it before it went out of bounds, leading to a pair of free throws for Green.

• Duncan grabbed an offensive rebound in traffic that led to a 3-pointer by Leonard.

All of the guys the Spurs cut and pasted onto this roster kept reaping the benefits of the guy who was delivered by the fortuitous bounces of the pingpong balls in 1997, and the guy who never acts like a franchise player, even if it means cleaning the dishes and taking out the trash.

"Just because he's a little older doesn't mean he's lost his competitiveness or his professional will to compete," Popovich said. "That's not going to stop.

Green and Neal had their well deserved turns at the podium Tuesday night. But Duncan was up there first.

[DesignatedT]

Duncan.

[milkyway21]

you know, what let's watch the replay again and then decide.

[milkyway21]

Pop should say to Stern when he hands the Spurs the trophy:

"Thank you. You motivated us to get here when you incomprehensibly fined us 250K earlier in the season for resting our players. We knew then that we had to win it all so that at this very moment we could look you in eye and spit directly in your face."

:lmao :lmao :lmao

[lovetp9]

i hope TP

thought now Green and Kawai are better now ..

[szkorhetz]

I would give it to Timmy, but it is obvious that this is Parker's team and he would got it.
If we would only watch the Finals it is Leonard. His defense is the best LBJ ever seen. Really, nothing to complain. Guy grab rebounds, steal the ball, make plays. His improvement in this playoffs easily makes him a top 5 SF.

[OldSilentHill]

Hope Duncan. It would be a blow out over Kobe.

[Jenks]

Depends what happens in the theoretical next 2 wins.

So far, Kawhi. Solid scoring, rebounding out of his mind, and most importantly put Lebron's series stats on his resume. Beast.

Of course another game like that from Green, or another circus shot from TP, could change it.

[MarCowMar]

If we win, the Spurs should get the first MVT (most valuable team) trophy.

And if that goon Stern won't let us do that, give it to Ginobili cuz he deserves one from his cumulative work.

[superbigtime]

Tim Duncan.

[bigfan]

As Mr Wolf said "Lets not start...." (you know the rest)

[TJastal]

Green is the real MVP of this series so far, with Leonard a close second. Duncan would probably end up winning it however, since he's Tim Duncan.

[davidbowie]

Green

[will_spurs]

Unless TP goes crazy in one of the remaining games, Duncan will get it.

[urunobili]

TD... second on the list Leonard Kawhi.

Only way Green wins it it's if he keeps on being the leader scorer in all clincher games

[TJastal]

TD... second on the list Leonard Kawhi.

Only way Green wins it it's if he keeps on being the leader scorer in all clincher games


Green could run through a brick wall and people would still find fault. :lol

From where I'm sitting Green is the clear and unanimous MVP of this series so far. He is the only spur who is bringing it on both sides of the ball, consistently every game. Leonard's defense and rebounding has been huge as well, and if he was hitting 70% of his shots like Green has he'd be the clear choice for MVP, but he simply hasn't been hitting those shots like Danny has.

[Splits]

Yep ..as fans we shouldn't make these kind of threads...because my opinion has so much bearing on how the Spurs play.

[DatBoyGood]

That's how you know this team is pretty damn good when we got more than 3 picks for finals mvp :lol

[Shabazz]

How many of Lebron's shots has Danny blocked so far?

[Spur|n|Austin]

Duncan would win it, imo. We're jumping the gun a bit though.

[BlackSilver]

Um...is it only based on performance in the finals, or is it more of a postseason MVP award? Because, if the former, I surely thought Manu should have won it in 2005.

[JRHernandez88]

I just want Manu to win 1 :(

[alpha_HaZE]

pop. who cares?.

[cd98]

Parker is the favorite bc of his hype and Game 1 shot.

Duncan has outside shot if he averages a double double.

Media won't give it to Green bc they'll credit Tim and Tony for getting him open looks. Leonard probably won't get it bc media story would be Lebron choked and not Leonard shutting him down.

[Baam]

TP Tim or Leonard are the only possibilities.

[Typical London Boy]

Ginobili, because he's still owed it from 2005.

[kaji157]

Whoever scores the most in the next two spurs wins

Danny Green has made 16 three pointers so far in this series, and the NBA record for 3 pointers made in a finals series is 22 by Ray Allen. Striking distance, to say the least, depending on how many games this series goes. I mean if the series goes to 7, he'd have to make only 2 per game to break the record
