i think it will actually be Ginobli, who will have a huge series. Gooden is very good defensively and Ilgauskas is 7,3'. plus the double teams will come so i dont think Duncan will dominate this series. if Manu wins the Finals MVP you heard it here first.

Seriously? You don't think TD will win MVP? Well that's surprising coming from a guy who has ``Duncan Sucks`` written under his name.
lol, nice way to loose credibility.
Oh yeah, and I almost forgot... Gooden is very good defensively????????
:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol
I thought Manu should have won it in '05. (But Duncan is healthier and playing better this year than in '05.)
:rolleyes We didn't hear it here first. We heard it in 2005. Of all the Finals Duncan's played in, you think Ilgauskas is going to shut him down? Anyway, I expect all our players to bring it. If we argue over who deserves to be named MVP, that's a great problem to have.
Gooden is very good defensively
Neither of those guys you metioned can stop him to me it comes down to how they guard him as a team. If they double like crazy then Tim will be a passer in the series, rebound and play great D like he always does. Tim's legacy is going through the roof if he wins this 4th title, finals MVP or not. Magic has 5 rings and won finals mvp 3 times same as Tim. Bird has 3 rings and won finals MVP twice.Quote:

Four Drew Goodens is equal to one Carlos Boozer. I will give Gooden that much.
Howie Mandel can NOT stop Tim Duncan.

Gooden is not very good defensively, he is bordering on very bad.
Varejao is pretty good, and Ilgauskas is long... Gooden is just...Meh.
Gooden's defense is poor MOST of the time. If Drew is playing poorly offensively he gets down and plays poor defense. If Drew is playing well offensively he turns into an All-Star player, this is not an exaggeration. His defense improves, his rebounding improves, and he can score in a variety of ways. Varejao is a good defender when he isn't flopping. He gave Sheed a very tough time. I think Tony Parker will win MVP if you guys take the series. We have the most trouble with defending PGs. LeBron will guard Manu in the 4th if the game is online. I know LeBron doesn't get credit for his defense, but he is very good defensively when he cares. Which has been the whole playoffs. I mean he's quick, long, and strong.
yep and Dirk is the clutchest player in the NBAQuote:

I thought Ginobili was going to win it in 05. The thing is that Tim Duncan is the most important player on the team. He'll win it this year cause hes in great health.
nobody cares what you think
Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce!!!!
Duncan will get it, if he doesn't... it will be Tony.
Probably if they win Tim will get it, i mean he has been the best player in every series so far it is hard to believe he will not be the best in the Finals especially when Tim has been so great in past finals. You gotta think even if they double him like crazy and the series goes 5 or 6 games he is still likely to go for around 20 and 12 a game. If they play him straight up he will go easy for 28-30 a game.Quote:

I dont see why he wouldnt if he can stop LeGod James. I say give him the MVP if he can lock him down.Quote:

There's an odd number of voters. Co-MVPs can't happen.Quote:

Manu could very well win it, if he put on his Semi-WCF game 6 type performance for at least 4 games in this seven game series. But by the way this team is clicking? I don't that kind of performance is needed from him.
In all likelihood if the Spurs win it he will get the award again. He has been the man in every series so far, why would the finals be any different??Quote:

However duncan winning it will be a benefit years from now when we are comparing his stats to the all time greats.
Here's the deal - this is going to be the first time in history the Finals MVP is based on the amount of flopping by South American players.
So, whoever among Oberto, Manu, and Varejao flops their team to victory will win MVP.
Flopping is obviously a skill, since Nash flopped his team completely out of contention...Quote:

Hey, at least you have an excuse for your team losing, right?Quote:

I saw the title of this thread and though WHAT??!?Quote:

I'll be rooting for Tim to win the Finals MVP for one reason: the list of players who have more than 3 Finals MVPs right now looks like this.
1.) Michael Jordan
And that's it. But the next Finals MVP for Timmy would be his 4th. If Tim retires as one of the only 2 players on that list, then people will be able to talk about him as the 2nd greatest player ever. (In fairness, Bill Russell would have possibly won more than Jordan if the award was around back then.)
TP or Manu for Finals MVP... than it would be the first foreigner to win the award, right?
I'm one of the biggest Manu fans on the planet (at least non-Argentine division) and I'm telling you if you think Duncan isn't winning the Finals MVP, YOU ARE CRAZY. If Manu didn't win it in '05, he's never gonna win it.
