Duncan with 3 FMVP. Parker with 2 FMVP.

Manu becomes the forgotten man?

Manu is already the forgotten one... What do you mean? Mills and Diaw have played better than Manu this series.

Spurstalk's hero, Tony Parker deserves the Finals MVP. He leads the team in scoring and creates for Green and Kawhi... Like Kawhi said yesterday, Parker lead the team

I hope people know I'm trolling right now lol, Manu's okay in my book as long as he doesn't pull "8 turnovers" on Sunday...

Kawhi or Timmy should get FMVP...

Timmy = No idiot will ever have him outside of the Top 10

Kawhi = I can't think of a better start to the new era. Maybe he'll take a paycut if he likes the feeling of winning?

With all this fight about legacies and FMVP, we might as well be better off with Timmy getting it. At least no one will complain.

This will be the first Finals where the Finals MVP is not the scoring leader for the series. TP is the current scoring leader and only Timmy and Kawhi are being talked about.



This is kawahi a MVP to lose

Nah, Duncan has better numbers thus far. With a better game 5, Timmy is FMVP comfortably. Don't forget Leonard had poor games 1 and 2 while Duncan was excellent.

He's shooting 51% too.

Tony: 74 points, 51%

Kawhi: 67 points, 58%

Timmy: 63 points, 66%


Duncan leads in combined stats in the other statistical categories though due to shitloads of rebounds. Imo, Duncan wins in stats, and Duncan/Leonard are close in impact. Tony is 3rd despite being scoring leader imo. Who the NBA chooses will be very interesting. They have never chosen someone who did not lead the winning team in scoring.

Tony is the leading scorer. Diaw has the edge over Tony in assists (26 vs 21). Kawhi leads in blocks and Danny in steals. Duncan averages a double-double in the Finals.

Leonard's early struggles are over blown, he played fantastic defense in game 1 on Lebron, same with game 2, Lebron just made Lebron type shots, absolutely nothing you can do about that. People forget just how much of a beast Lebron is out there, put him against any other defender and he's gonna drop 40+ PPG on them.

Leonard has to go against him on both sides of the floor. Every other Spur has the luxury of an easy matchup aside of Green. Chalmers doesn't even look like an NBA starter anymore, Allen is nothing more than a role player, Bosh doesn't play D nor does Lewis.

You cancel out Lebron or at least limit him and MIA is nothing without him.

TD's been the most consistent just like in '05 Finals. And unlike '07 it's not like TP's scoring 20+ ppg. That said I think it falls between TD, Kawhi, and Diaw.

06-13-2014, 07:55 AM
I think whoever plays the best out of Tony, Timmy and Kawhi will have the edge. Right now I think it's Kawhi.

Manu is behind Diaw for the highest +/- this Finals. I totally agree with Pop, its the team. There is no one player standing out at this point, maybe Kawhi these past two games. It has been team effort. You could very well see two mvp for this series.

Kawhi will win it, the media is actually making a big deal out of his defense, although sentimental votes might go to Tim.

The only thing that will hurt Kawhi is Lebron going off for 45+

Assuming the stats are close between 3-4 players.

06-13-2014, 09:17 AM
If Danny has a big game, does FMVP go to him? Arguably you could make a case for any of Kawhi/TD/TP/Manu/Boris/Green to get it.

06-13-2014, 09:26 AM
Right now Leonard has the marquee performance, so as long as the spurs keep passing and getting contributions from everyone like the last 2 games it is probably his to lose. However, a monster game by Duncan or Parker in the closeout game (something like 30 and 15) would probably be enough to give one of those two the nod.

Or, the Spurs win a close game 5 where Lebron goes off for 40, and the NBA pulls another Jerry West.

Frankly, MVP awards are not what the Spurs are about. They win because they don't rely too much on one guy.

That said, if anyone gets it, it's Duncan. He's been the most consistent.

Oh well he's got his overall international accomplishments and what do you really expect out of a 57th pick in the NBA

He has had a marvelous career. But if we lose this series his legacy will remain damaged.

In my personal assessment, this is a race between Kawhi Leonard (1st Place), Boris Diaw (2nd Place) and Tim Duncan (a distant 3rd place).

I give the edge to Kawhi because he had such an impact on the "tougher" games in Miami. Also, throughout the series he has had to guard Lebron James...and King James hasn't totally destroyed us yet.

Diaw gets the next nod because the shift of putting him into the starting lineup (and minimizing Tiago Splitter in favor of Boris) completely changed the series into back-to-back blowouts. Plus, hes the assist leader on a team everyone is salivating over their assists.

Duncan has had an obvious impact. But this is a series that hes supposed to dominate in with softies like Bosh and Lewis doing a lot of the guarding. Still, his numbers are solid and hes our foundation regardless of anything and everything else.

Tony deserves more blame for '06 than Manu. He was terrible in the playoffs that year. Sucked in '04 as well. He deserves equal blame with Manu for 2013. Horrendous Finals after a great Conference Finals run. But all will be forgotten if SA wins the title this year. Hopefully they close the deal on Sunday.

There is zero chance Parker will get MVP this time, if it ends on Sunday.

It's likely, if the Spurs win it all on Sunday that Duncan will get it. Manu has a shot if he puts 20 pts, 10 assists and the SPurs win because of him.

Also Kwahi and Boris have a shot too.

Don't agree with this, Duncan has been going in the wrong direction all series really. Last 2 games Duncan had only 6 rebs in game 3, and then only 10 pts in game 4, he also only has 2 blocks all series. Kawhi on the other hand has been getting better every game. He has 5 blocks and 8 steals and 3/4 games shot 58% or better. People like to say he was awful games 1 and 2, but not really, he was in foul trouble so didn't play a lot, but still got 9 pts. If he can get 9 pts in 20 some minutes and it is considered awful then how come Duncan having 10 in 31 is just fine? Duncan also has 12 turnovers to Kawhi's 2.

EVAY
06-13-2014, 06:43 PM
Even though I wish it could be a team thing, and even though Kawhi will likely get it if he has another good game (which I don't really mind), I think Boris has made the biggest difference.

Kawhi's offensive onslaught didn't start until Diaw started, and Diaw makes the offense run better than anyone, including Tony, Manu or Tim. Miami can just about contain our big three if Boris isn't in there and Tiago is, but putting Diaw in there in lieu of Tiago means there is always one more ball-handling threat than Miami can cover, and that allows Kawhi's skill set to take off.

To me it's impossible to put the blame on any one guy as BB is a team sport by definition and they play for 48 minutes. But I agree with some elements here who like to target specific players.

Also, I know Im not the first one talking about this but I do believe the Spurs have shifted from player to system through the years and Pop built the teams each year around a general idea. This is the rundown the way I see it:

1999 - Robinson's team
2003 - Duncan's team
2005 - Manu's team
2007 - Tony's team
2011 -> present - no one's team, just the team

You cancel out Lebron or at least limit him and MIA is nothing without him.

Leonard hasn't "canceled out LeBron" except in game 3. Kawhi also isn't the only one defending LeBron, but he is on him more than anyone else.

Like I said, if Timmy has a better game 5, he wins. If Leonard has his games 3 and 4 for games 1 and 2 and Duncan had his games 1 and 2 in games 3 and 4, we'd all be talking about Duncan right now as the clear MVP. I think Duncan/Leonard's first two games are being forgotten already. Duncan's shooting 66% and grabbing over 10 RPG. Leonard is averaging just 1 more PPG and has half the rebounds on lesser FG%. Both players have been playing great D. Look at Bosh's stats, he has been completely neutralized by Duncan, while also defending other shots and setting great screens.

Leonard has just been doing it flashier and more recently. Imo it's close and whoever has the noticeably better game will take it. Personally I hope it's Duncan since he was going to win it last year before the rest of the team let him down.

Aztecfan03

He's shooting 51% too.

Tony: 74 points, 51%

Kawhi: 67 points, 58%

Timmy: 63 points, 66%


Duncan leads in combined stats in the other statistical categories though due to shitloads of rebounds. Imo, Duncan wins in stats, and Duncan/Leonard are close in impact. Tony is 3rd despite being scoring leader imo. Who the NBA chooses will be very interesting. They have never chosen someone who did not lead the winning team in scoring.

What are you using for Duncan's shooting %? His FT %? Kawhi actually has a better shooting % even though almost 40% of Kawhi's shots are 3's. Kawhi has a lot less rebounds but has more steals, blocks, and less turnovers and has to guard Lebron

I can further expand on your adjustments - no need to get stupid with me when you don't know me, IDIOT...

I still think Manu should've won Finals MVP in '05, tbh.


Agreed.

Gonna be a hard choice and game 5 will be the clincher but at this point I think the vote would go to TD out of respect. He is clearly leading this team.

We have not won yet. But it is either Diaw or Leonard in my book so far.

Leonard hasn't "canceled out LeBron" except in game 3. Kawhi also isn't the only one defending LeBron, but he is on him more than anyone else.

Like I said, if Timmy has a better game 5, he wins. If Leonard has his games 3 and 4 for games 1 and 2 and Duncan had his games 1 and 2 in games 3 and 4, we'd all be talking about Duncan right now as the clear MVP. I think Duncan/Leonard's first two games are being forgotten already. Duncan's shooting 66% and grabbing over 10 RPG. Leonard is averaging just 1 more PPG and has half the rebounds on lesser FG%. Both players have been playing great D. Look at Bosh's stats, he has been completely neutralized by Duncan, while also defending other shots and setting great screens.

Leonard has just been doing it flashier and more recently. Imo it's close and whoever has the noticeably better game will take it. Personally I hope it's Duncan since he was going to win it last year before the rest of the team let him down.

You keep taking Duncan's shooting percentage from games 1 and 2 and say that is what he is shooting for the whole series. Stop it.

Leonard has a higher FG% even though he takes 40% of his shots from 3.

If you fixed it why'd you write 2007 was Tony and Duncan's team? TP wasn't even the 2nd best player on the team that year.

As for the current Finals, I'm hoping Leonard gets it. Would be a great confidence booster for him and it might get him more respect around the league(especially from the officials in the future).

Say What? Duncan neutralizing Bosh? Lol is that why that defensive liability guards Rashard Lewis? Hilarious man. Duncan's so overrated right now.

Just cuz he got the finals mvp, he didn't really deserve that mention, you're correct

Beaners are fine with me if they love America.

Take them out of the state??????????????????????? Well, for many reasons that's not possible....but it isn't even necessary. Hell, I banged my fair share of them. They're great until they get fat and liberal. :lol

Americans aim for perfection. That's how we landed on the moon.... Just saying.

His FG% through first 3 games was 65%

You also replied to the same thing twice for some reason.
