[nkdlunch]

[ducks]

[fred33]

watch his chat on usa today and i think monroe and harveh will vote also duncan

[Kori Ellis]

Do Monroe and Harvey both have votes?

I thought Ludden was only reporter from San Antonio with a vote.

[MONTENEGRINO]

That is not going to happen dude... :elephant
Tim will probably make a triple-double tonight, and Larry O'brien trophy after that...

[TDMVPDPOY]

those voters wanna make history, so they are going to vote duncan regardless of the frenchman

Wrong. They don't want to elevate Tim Duncan over Magic yet.

The Frenchman will conquer the MVP award. (or something like that)

[MadDog73]

OK, I know NOTHING about MVP votes.

How many votes? 10?

Do we know who the voters are?

When do they vote?

[makedamnsure]

how are the votes done again?

[Creation88]

i don't understand why SPURS' fans care so much about the MVP. the trophy is all that matters.

i wouldn't be surprised if TIM wins the MVP, the defense and offense (including Tony's game) go through TIM or a discount of TIM's presence in the paint.

[BacktoBasics]

Up until this point I don't see how anyone other than Parker gets the nod.

That will not happened.

He's not American, but he does hate Parker with a vengeance. He's also one of the worst posters on the entire board, so not a good example of what the average normal person thinks.

[Kori Ellis]

OK, O know NOTHING about MVP votes.

10 votes. I think (but I'm not sure) that the Spurs beat writer (Ludden), the Cavs beat writer, and then 8 national journalists vote.

They vote late in the game.

:lmao :lmao

true...true :lol

[twentyone]

It's 10 ridiculous votes for one of the guys on our team that we like. Let's not argue about WHO gets it, lets bitch after about who should have gotten it. Tonight let's go get that TEAM trophy that really matters!

GO SPURS GO

[MadDog73]

i don't understand why SPURS' fans care so much about the MVP. the trophy is all that matters.


I think people care about the Finals MVP because it signifies such a great achievement: Being the best player on the best team.

That said, I agree: Team play is the most important.

I know in another thread I said I hope Tim gets it; actually I hope it will be a co-MVP between Tim and Tony, although I know that won't happen.

[fred33]

liz robbins of ny times vote on parker cavs beat writer on parker

[makedamnsure]

co-MVP? i never even thought of it. that'd be so sweet if it happened.

[MadDog73]

10 votes. I think (but I'm not sure) that the Spurs beat writer (Ludden), the Cavs beat writer, and then 8 national journalists vote.

They vote late in the game.


Thanks, Kori. Hopefully, that will be the only suspense for the game.

Go Spurs!

[Kori Ellis]

liz robbins of ny times vote on parker cavs beat writer on parker

Liz Robbins has a vote?? Are you sure?

Or did she just say she WOULD vote for Parker if she had a vote.

[fred33]

the nba opinion vote on parker

[MadDog73]

co-MVP? i never even thought of it. that'd be so sweet if it happened.


Wasn't it 6-4 in 2005, Duncan over Manu?

That was close.


fred33 where are you getting this info?

[fred33]

if dupree has a vote why not liz robbins of ny times

[duncan228]

Wasn't it 6-4 in 2005, Duncan over Manu?

That was close.

Yes it was.

[Kori Ellis]

if dupree has a vote why not liz robbins of ny times

Because every reporter doesn't have a vote. There's only 10 votes. Dupree is a national journalist. Liz Robbins isn't - she's a NY reporter. I don't think she has a vote. (But maybe I'm wrong).

[MadDog73]

Kori Ellis should get a vote.

[fred33]

Because every reporter doesn't have a vote. There's only 10 votes. Dupree is a national journalist. Liz Robbins isn't - she's a NY reporter. I don't think she has a vote. (But maybe I'm wrong). I heard on french radio THAT IN THE MEDIA PRESS THEY HAVE A LITTLE CONSENSUS FOR PARKER !

[Kori Ellis]

Kori Ellis should get a vote.

I'd vote for Bowen. :lol

[MadDog73]

I heard on french radio THAT IN THE MEDIA PRESS THEY HAVE A LITTLE CONSENSUS FOR PARKER !


didn't someone say that yesterday?

Simmons I think?

[TDMVPDPOY]

al gore would like a recount thank you...

[Creation88]

give it to BRUCE and make everyone happy.

[dbreiden83080]

If Tim and Tony both play well tonight i really think they should be Co-Mvps. However if Tim goes for like 25 and 15 tonight and Tony is just good then it should go to Tim.

[Phenomanul]

So if Manu goes for 50, with a game winning 3.... is that what it would take for him to get back in all this MVP talk contention? :lol

No... really it ought to be given to the most consistent player of the playoffs... for the last team standing. Were that the case the trophy would go to Duncan. He affects the Spurs effectiveness on both ends of the court.

[CubanMustGo]

No... really it ought to be given to the most consistent player of the playoffs... for the last team standing.

Perhaps "consistently effective" player. Beno has been VERY consistent ...

But your argument is likely why TD and not Manu got the '05 MVP. Manu played well in the Ws but was not nearly as much a factor in the Ls.

[Warlord23]

If you're in for statistical comparisons:
Offense: Close with a slight edge to TP
PPG: TD = 20.3; TP = 24.7
Points per shot (PPS): TD = 1.22, TP = 1.23
Points per possession (PPP): TD = 0.98; TP = 0.97
FG%: TD = 50%; TP = 53.3%
FT%: TD = 78.6%; TP = 57.1%
Assists: both are averaging 4 per game

Defense: TD is way ahead even statistically, plus the fact that he is the defensive anchor and the scheme works because of him
Rebounding: TD (10.3) >> TP (4.3)
Turnovers: TD (1.7) > TP (3.0)
Blocks: TD (2.3) >> TP (0.0)
Steals: both are averaging 1 per game.

Intangibles: Even
TP: Some clutch shots and messed up the Cavs' D in games 1 and 2, played good D on Gibson (although JV and Manu were also on Boobie for quite a while)
TD: Clutch FTs, altered shots, double-teamed 50% of the time he posts up which leads to crisp ball movement and the open man.

TD by a small margin for me
