Who is your MVP of the 2nd round(Spurs-Suns series)?

[milkyway21]

TP owned the 1st half, played consistently throughout the last 6 games.
Manu CLOSED out Games 5 & 6.

but my pick is:


TIM DUNCAN
-defense
-scoring
-leadership

:blah

[thekingrobert]

i agree with you, when things get shaky TD is the answer

[Stargazer]

Bruce Bowen. Single team defense on Nash, and took his game away. The Suns defense was good enough to win (and the Spurs offense was not good enough to win), but the Spurs defense (and Suns lack of offense) made the difference. And Bowen was the catalyst for that.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Thats not even a question bro. Tim was, is, and will always be until he retires, the MVP of this team. If these playoffs haven't proven that by now, you probably haven't been watching. The man brings EVERYTHING! leadership, scoring, defense, attitude, class. A bad night from him, is something like 19pts 9rb :lol and even then, the man impacts the game in ways that go well beyond whats on the scoreboard. I mean seriously, how can anyone doubt that.

[Texas_Ranger]

Agree.

[T Park]

Tim duncan is always the MVP.

Nothing happens without his support or offense.

[Stargazer]

whoa Bruce Bowen getting some props from a Suns fan.:D

I didn't mean it as a compliment, just an unfortunate fact.

'nuff said

[T Park]

Tim duncan is always the MVP.

Nothing happens without his support or play.

[NASpurs]

Horry for taking out Steve Nash and getting Stoudemire and Diaw suspended.

[milkyway21]

I didn't mean it as a compliment, just an unfortunate fact.who do you think is the better 6th man of this series:

the NBA's 2007 6th man of the year Barbosa
or
Manu Ginobili?

[JamStone]

obvious answer, robert horry ... :lol

[Stargazer]

who do you think is the better 6th man of this series:

the NBA's 2007 6th man of the year Barbosa
or
Manu Ginobili?

Ginobili, obviously. Barbosa was a big disappointment. He's still young, and I think nerves destroyed his game. I gather from the boards that Spurs fans have a bit of a love/hate relationship with Ginobili, but I don't know why. He's good.

[TampaDude]

Duncan

Ginobili, obviously. Barbosa was a big disappointment. He's still young, and I think nerves destroyed his game. I gather from the boards that Spurs fans have a bit of a love/hate relationship with Ginobili, but I don't know why. He's good.well, I'm not one of them.

:rolleyes Long friggin' story!! Suffice to say, on any given game, Spurs fans will jump off the bandwaggon more times than you can count Amares whining in this series. The only problem is we seem to have the annoying habit of throwing our players under the wheels in the process. These playoffs it was Manu, others it has been Tony, its just the flavor of the season I guess :lol

Not that Manu hasn't brought some of it on himself with the crappy play of late, but the overreaction sometimes goes over the top.

Any MVP award concerning the Spurs goes to Tim Duncan.

Disqualifying Duncan, I'd probably go with Parker. He had a team best plus/minus for the series and played lockdown defense on Barbosa. He cut Barbosa's production in half and also played Nash better than probably anyone else on the team outside of Game 6 Bowen.

20.8 points and 5.7 assists with a team leading plus/minus is hopefully a breakthrough performance of sorts for Parker.

I wouldn't call it owned.

Wait...

I just read it again and I confer....

PWNED!!!

[carina_gino20]

Tim Duncan. No contest. Heck, it's not even fair to compare him to anyone.

[sabar]

Duncan by far, he owned the Suns and was even going to the rim through some double teams.

[raspsa]

Has to be Duncan. I'm always on edge when he's on the bench.. w/c is why it was such a pleasant surprise when the 4th quarter started and the Spurs passed the lead with TD resting.

[100%duncan]

tim duncan

cuteness

[WalterBenitez]

1. Duncan, 2. Duncan (again), 3. Manu, 4. Tony, 5. Bruce, 6. Mike .... 7. Horry (WTF).

1. Nash ... man ... that man could make look good my grandma on the court, he's amazing!

[Jelly]

Ginobili, obviously. Barbosa was a big disappointment. He's still young, and I think nerves destroyed his game. I gather from the boards that Spurs fans have a bit of a love/hate relationship with Ginobili, but I don't know why. He's good.

Most Spurs fans love Gino. We just, unfortunately have about a dozen posters on Spurs talk who are ready to throw him and any other Spur under the bus after any bad play -if someone was magnificent in a prior year (like Manu) and then starts to struggle, they're ready to trade him.Thank God their only power is shooting off their fat mouths.....if any of them had any real say in who gets traded, we be in bad shape! Forget the few ridiculous and childish morons here, most Spurs fans are intelligent and reasonable. (and LOVE Manu!)

[SpursIndonesia]

TD's the default MVP of this team.

OTOH, the players that brought the most steady effort & result on both end of the floor in this series is none other than Tony Parker. His shot was on and off, yet he kept being aggressive without hurting the team in the process. And his defense was just amazing.

It has nothing to do with being intelligent...
Making such a stupid statement. Unless your name is "Obstructed View" (about the name not really what he posts) you can't say that. Personnaly I love Manu but it's not because you cheer the spurs that you definitely have to love him without looking honestly at what he does on the court...
The problem with Manu is that he can be the most stunning/clutch performer in the league and two days later the most disappointing player out there...
Same thing goes for Parker, we want them to play at their best because they're great but our expectations are so high due to their talent that if they don't play well enough some will start to throw them under the bus because of disapointment. That won't change unless they start being as consistent as TD ^^ wich would be the worst nightmare of players not being on this spurs team...

[AZLouis]

Tim Duncan was great.

[dallasmavsnfuego214]

1. Nash ... man ... that man could make look good my grandma on the court, he's amazing!

:wtf

[dallasmavsnfuego214]

Duncan was there in every game

[Spurs Brazil]

Tim Duncan, the best player of the world

[florige]

TP owned the 1st half, played consistently throughout the last 6 games.
Manu CLOSED out Games 5 & 6.

but my pick is:


TIM DUNCAN
-defense
-scoring
-leadership

:blah



I gotta go with Parker. He kept us in alot of games this series with his scoring, And also the job he did all series long on Barbosa. The Suns had no answer for him on defense.

[Martin R]

TD. no doubt about it.

[duncan228]

Duncan.
Duncan.
Duncan.
Always.
