Why is that the cheap way out?
Without Duncan this team has no championships.
Not necessarily. Tony is easily the most marketable of the Spurs, so the league might try and nudge it his way if they can.
Not likely, but slightly possible.

Timmy D. He's tha man! He is always MVP.
this is the MVP of THIS SERIES. without Parker last night we would have probably lost. probably same with Duncan, but I think Tony put more of an imprint on the game.
So it's gotta be Parker.
the thread question is who is the MVP SO FAR. not, who do you think will win MVP
Silly people make me laugh. I'm willing to bet that no one would think about anyone else but TD for MVP if he had scored 27 and TP had scored 24.
it's not about the points. Tony had also 7 assists and very few turnover. He is the PG, he did a brilliant job at it. He gets my vote so far. He was a true floor general
I'm glad TD isn't one of those selfish superstars. If he was he'd probably take a game off and show everybody who the MVP was. Imagine if he decided he wasn't going to play defense or rebound for a whole game....
That's right. We'd lose.
TD 4 MVP!
GO SPURS GO!
You're right about Duncan being the main reason for the Spurs' success.
But in the NBA Finals vs. Detroit, Manu Ginobili was clearly the MVP, but the NBA bottled it and went for the safe option.
If Ginobili's performance didn't warrant the MVP that year, then nobody's ever will.
And nobody will top that this year, and that's why Duncan will be the default victor once again.
Tony was great but Timmy was the man again on both ends of the floor, his D was amazing and so effiecient on the offensive end. Timmy was MVP of game 1.
Duncan. It's not even close.
Timmy, with honorable mention to Tony
Timmy!
Nuff said...
so far, TP's the MVP... not even close
but at the end, TD will be the MVP, no doubt about it
Lebron ... who else
Bruce
parker.
i cant believe that i said that
and w/o manu, drob, jackson, etc duncan would have 3 less
TD...I have real fake vMoney riding on it!

Tony played great, but any of you who has watched the Spurs for at least 3 years know it's Timmy. The Spurs do it with defense, and TD is the best in the game.
They showed a stat on ESPN about how many times the greats of the game have had 20+ pts/10+ rebs/5+ blks in an NBA Finals game. People like Kareem, Shaq, Hakeem, Erving etc had 2 apiece. Duncan has 4 in his career, including 1 yesterday.
The guy blocks 5 shot, alters around 10 more, is the biggest reason why the Cavs couldn't buy a bucket in the paint yesterday. On top of that he draws double and triple-teams on offense, and still gets 24/13 on 59% shooting.
If Mike Brown (or even a dumbass Cavs troll for that matter) is given a choice on which Spur he would like to get into foul trouble and keep out of the game, his choice would be Duncan. Hands down.
Parker is right on cue with his early offense and cutting defenses to pieces in games 1 and 2. This is what he does every year. Let's see how he does in games 3, 4 and 5. Not bagging on the guy, but he is yet to hit that next level.
Duncan has had great teammates.
But he's the constant. The only one remaining from the '99 run. He's proven, and 3 Final MVP's confirm it, that he can win with different teammates around him. Robinson didn't win before Duncan, Duncan won after Robinson.
It's been hashed over again and again, but Pop said it best in numerous interviews. "Without Tim Duncan there are no championships."
You believe what you want to. I believe in Duncan.
Robert Horry was clearly the MVP of 2005 Finals...
Yeah, because Stephen Jackson is Pippen/Kobe material, right? Duncan won the le in 2002-03 with arguably the worst second banana in NBA playoff history.
I would say right now Tim has the edge over Tony.
It's really gonna get tight though, if Tony can step it up to 30 and 10 along with a few rebounds and a couple of steals.
also he said: "w/o manu the spurs would have 2 ships less" - popovich, greg
