Banned. Nice job Goran.![]()
People are overlooking the moving of the goalposts from "MVP candidate" to "top 10 player in the league".
You don't think a legit MVP candidate is generally a top 10 player in the league?![]()
He was the best player on the second best team record wise, that's why he should have at least been mentioned in the MVP discussion. I'm not even a big supporter of his, and I don't think he deserved it.
I think "Best player on best regular season team" has been proven a bad barometer for MVP candidates in certain cir stances. If the best team distributes scoring extremely well like San Antonio does and doesn't rely on one player THAT much more than other players, then that team simply doesn't have any MVP candidates on it, a la the 2006 Pistons. The fact Billups was an MVP candidate in 2006 was a joke.

Tony is an all star PG who rode Duncan to 3 rings.. That is not an insult to Tony it's just the way it is.. But he can play a of a lot better than he has the last 3 games. He was a legit reg season MVP candidate..
Alot better players than Tony have choked in the playoffs..

the real PG is in Boston
It's probably not as much a choke job as it is trying to play outside of his game. Maybe the same thing, but I consider choking to be the inability to do things you normally do, when the pressure is on. Tony plays well under pressure. For some reason, maybe the "it's your team now" from Pop, Tony is too focused on hero ball. He's ignored wide open shooters in favor of going 1 on 3. Normally the Spurs find those guys and get a good look. No so recently.
Rondo getting better at shooting...watch the out.![]()
He finished about right in the MVP voting IMO. Some of the players who are better than he is didn't have MVP-candidate seasons. Rose was hurt, Rondo had a ty regular season, Howard stabbed his team in the back, then quit on it, Dirk phoned in half the regular season, Wade didn't look very MVP-like as the second-best player on a team that finished with a worse record.
I think #5 in the MVP voting was perfectly justified.
Did he deserve to win MVP over LeBron and Durant? No. But everyone knew that.
/thread
I agree with that but nonetheless he had a great RS, you cannot overlook the fact he has lead the Spurs the whole season (with manu being on the injured list a significant amount of time). We cannot also deny the fact he made his team mates better during that stretch. There is no shame to say he deserved to be among those who were getting votes for MVP.
As far as the POs, most of the teams are trying the same tactic than OKC to limit parker, most of them failed but OKC is a legit championship team so they are getting what they wanted.
Parker is not a franchise player, he is not a Wade, Dirk, Shaq, Garnet... kind of player that can produce whatever you throw at them. (I obviously hope he will prove otherwise). This doesn't mean that he is not a great nba player and that he didn't deserve the praise he received so far.
Where do you live?
Seattle of course
I can't seem to understand why Spurs fans can't seem to figure why Tony Parker been trash since game 2. It's not that hard to figure out, first two games Westbrook was playing defense on Tony Parker. Obviously Tony was too much for westbrook because he just had to no answer. Last three games 80% of the time Thabo Sefolosha was on Tony Parker( DING DING DING). You understand now? Only time Tony Parker scores:
1. When Derek Fisher is in for Thabo.
2. When Tony parker does a pick and roll( rarely scores now from it anyway)
3. When westbrook is back on him.
Rose when healthy, and CP3 are easily top 10 players.
6-8 14 points 5 assist in 8 minutes so far.....
