big respect for tony

[MannyIsGod]

Tony's best state of the night : 0 turnovers.

Well,that's not true.The fact is this team is better since Manu is the first PG of the team,since Manu is who runs the offense but c'mon ...TP is a lot better than Temple,Mason,Bogans,Hairston.... The team can't be better without him.

But the team it's better if manu takes the main role instead of him.That's the only true. Tony is the former Manu and it works.

The team isn't better without TP.The team is better when Manu has a bigger role than he had

Nobody is bringing up the weak about Manu > TP

This is a team game, not who is better than who.. mother er..

[G-Dawgg]

very good game by Tony. Maybe he's realizing he doesn't need to score all our points for us, just score a few in bunches at certain times when we need them. -Timely scoring

[Bukefal]

He did great! Props

[Bambililos]

He's clutch. Props to him.

But I'm a bit worried about his speed and explosion. He keeps saying he feels 100%, but it's obvious he's not as fast as before: he can't get into the lane at will like he used to...
Hopefully it will be better next round.

Mad props to Tony especially since he's handled coming off the bench....people underrate this quality since I think most starters, especially Finals MVP ones, would have a huge problem with that. Just goes to show ya that the Spurs as a franchise have a great team-first mentality.

Tony is proving he is anything but the self centered prima donna type that many (including me) were wondering for most of the year.

He's stepped up big-time in that 6th man role without ing or letting his ego get the better of him.. and thank god for that, that 2nd unit has really fallen apart lately and without Parker's steadying influence things would be very ugly.

Pop was wise to keep the Hill, Jefferson and Manu starting lineup that has seen Jefferson's game take off but without Parker taking a lesser role this team would be in big trouble.

Tony deserves all the accolades he is getting. A total pro. The turnover he forced at the end (the one Manu picked up) was the clincher.

Um, not sure which series you were watching. He had a subpar game 1, and since then played pretty much lights out save for game 3. His two driving layups going right at the dallas defense at the end of the 3rd quarter to put us up 7 were HUGE. He's been taking what the defense gives him--I promise you he is drooling at the prospect of having Nash "guard" him in round 2.

He torched Barera the whole series and got to the basket alot,
I think he was very fast, also lets not forget he has a shot now so he keeps the d on thier toes by driving and shooting at different times. I dont think its so much that he is settling for the shot its that he is open and can hit it. Then next time when they come out to defend him he has a path to the basket.

[DPG21920]

He doesn't have limits.

[temujin]

Now that he's good and stuff, we need to trade him.

yeap.

Where is that legendary poster igniting that Collison-for-Parker trade?

[SpurOutofTownFan]

and 2 clutch jumpers in the 4th that was huge !

to me these 2 and the 3 from manu were the dagger of the game
