IMO Parker was the biggest matchup nightmare for Mavs thus co-MVP with Splitter who played out of his mind, he pretty much played a perfect series according to his role. :tuQuote:

Tiago Splitter or Timmy because I also value defense as well as offense. Tiago averaged 12/10 and 3 APG on 61% FG%/79% FT% through first 6 games and contained Dirk well while leading us in rebounding for the first time ever and placing 3rd in assists after Tony and Manu. :) Timmy led us in scoring for the series and shot 55% FG% too. Also 2nd in rebounding and had more blocks than rest of team combined. I would say they were the best and most consistent all series. They're the MVPs for us. Extra props to Splitter for finally sacking up and realizing he's a seven footer who can actually dominate games.
And I'm sorry, but people are saying Manu? Why? 42% FG% for the series and led us in turnovers and 2nd in fouls per minute for players who played 15+ minutes per game. This is what happens when you have extremely shitty games. Thanks for the good ones, now stop negating them with horrendous performances. If only he could re-learn how to stop shitting himself when things don't go well for him in the first half, we'd be looking great right now.
Parker is the leading scorer of that serie with 20 ppg not Duncan: he had .58 shooting not .55Quote:

Manu had a great serie all things considered, he played way above expectations while Parker played inconsistently and had pretty bad first games but no way he was not bothered by something. Difference is huge in terms of speed and energy between first games and game 7 for instance.
Based on exceeding expectations I'd say 1. Tiago, 2. Manu
clearly Splitter. Outstanding defense, outstanding pick and rolls during game 4 and 5.
1a. Manu
1b. Splitter
TP won game 7. The rest of the games don't matter. lol 1st round mvp.
After game 6, I would have said Tiago, but now I'd say Manu.
Parker and Duncan were also great in game 7.
Master splitter!!!!!!
Manu.
South America
Advanced stats say Splitter. He has a 143 ORtg :wow and 107 DRtg, which were first and second on the team, respectively. That 36 was by far the highest NetRtg on the team. Surprisingly (at least to most people), Green was second with a NetRtg of 23. Bonner of all people was third with a 22. Diaw and Duncan each had 18, and Ginobili had 8 (including a team-low 105 DRtg, although I don't like that metric for smalls). Everyone else was negative. Splitter also led in WS/48 (and regular win-shares). While I dislike WS/48 as a stat generally, I think Splitter dominating so thoroughly in that category (.264 compared to Duncan's second-place total of .198) still means something.
Awful analysis. Ginobili only had one more turnover than Parker throughout the series(same amount of assists too). Considering the fact that Manu upped his apg from reg season to post-season(4.3 to 4.7) it makes sense that he'd turn it over a little more too. Parker saw a considerable drop in his production though(5.7 apg in reg season to 4.7 apg in post-season) which is unacceptable considering he's the youngest of the big three and our best playmaker.Quote:

Manu's TS percentage against the Mavs was 61.6% which is excellent. His TS% in the regular season was 59% - Manu basically upped his volume(12.3 ppg to 17.7 ppg) in addition to his efficiency. Great production from a 36 year old. Compare that to Parker who's TS% is a very mediocre 51.5% against Dallas. A considerable drop from his regular season percentages(55%).
dude we got it... you don't like ParkerQuote:

Without both of them, Spurs probably go down in 5.
Manu.
He really wants to erase the bad memories of last year's playoffs.
