Agreed. Leonard was easily MVP, but there were so many other players who came close too
Overall yes leonard deserves mvp.

I thought Diaw was the MVP for the first 2-3 games. Everyone on this team contributed, even Bonner.
Patty Claxton took the Heat's will away.
This tbh
For this game, Manu, Kawhi and Mills are co-MVPs.
Several turning points in this game. Manu's dunk. Putting the ball inside to Mr. Reliable Duncan to get back in it and narrow the lead. Mills hit...3 three's in row?..then Parker, after going 0-11 crushes any idea of a Heat comeback and starts to light it up. In short, when it looked like it might get away or there would be a Heat comeback, the Big 3, and Mills, slammed that door shut.
TP was a non factor tonight. Owes his teammates again.
TBH, from the start Boris will never be the FMVP.
I know Boris's impact is huge but sadly to say, those media who voted for the FMVP still need the FMVP to put up some decent numbers to back it up.
Boris is not even close to averaging 10 points per game so he won't be the FMVP consideration at all.
There is no way those newsflash or headline will put: B.Diaw is the FMVP, he averages 6 pts / 8 rebs / 5 asts per game.
I thought Manu did most of the heavy lifting to pull the spurs out of the defecit. Hitting shots and executing flawlessly when you're down by 16 is alot more difficult. (Not to take away from Patty & Khawi who also had monster games). Honorable mention to Duncan who also was key in the comeback. No h9norable mention for Parker who finally showed up in the 4th but better late than n3ver I suppose.
I want to point out that Shane Battier was huge too.
His actions to piss off Manu in the 1st quarter started the Spurs to rally and show some life
This tbh.
But yes, Patty was unconscious tonight.
jkid12456 right about det Patty, tbh
.
You know Spoelstra is kicking himself right now for that coaching blunder. Probably wishing he'd gone with Beasley instead from the get go.
Yea Beasley made a few play.
But his 5 sec in bound violation and late running out to contest Patty's 3 was![]()
Game 1 - Manu
Game 2 - Lebron
Game 3 - Leonard
Game 4 - Leonard
Game 5 - Leonard/Manu
Those are my MVPs throughout the 5 games. Leonard definitely deserved the Finals MVP.
Didn't Leonard contain LeBron to 14 points on 5-14 shooting throughout quarters 2-4, while nabbing 22pts and 10rbs on 70% shooting? Mills knocked in some big-time triples that really extended the game (I lost my voice during that period) while Manu willed the team back within striking distance, but Leonard was by far the most consistent player.
Either way, I love this team and every player on it. Even Belinelli, who made some HUGE threes against OKC and Miami. I never understood the hate for him.
Even Ayres and Daye have their moments. Joseph is probably the best bench-warmer in the league (by far, IMO). , freaking Bonner played nice defense on Ibaka.
Beasley was a desperation move that didn't pay off. A guy who hasn't played much is usually not going to help and it showed. Oden might have been a better move for his shotblocking. We saw how big Ibaka's shotblocking was in the OKC series.
Patty going Stephen Jackson in Game 5 after going Steve Kerr in Game 4. God I hope the team can bring him back.
Actually I have to agree Leonard is true mvp after looking at Leonard's great game 3 & 4 its hard to deny he was the clear cut mvp of the series. Those 2 monster games (in enemy territory no less) were absolute back breakers.
Dont care what people say I will call him MVPATTY, Kawhi was great and so Manu of course but our little guy is big to our success.
