What were Tim, Manu and Tony's Best Series Each?

Are we still on the Mario Chalmers outplayed Parker narrative? Let me refresh everyone:

Series:

Parker: 15.7 PPG, 6.4 APG, 1.9 RPG, 1.0 SPG, 2.1 TOV, on 41% shooting
Chalmers: 10.6 PPG, 2.1 APG, 2.7 RPG, 0.7 SPG, 2.6 TOV, on 39% shooting

No one would argue that the 2013 Finals was Parker's best series, but to act like he got outplayed by Mario Chalmers is dumb. And if you're going to cherry-pick a few individual games that Chalmers "outplayed" Parker...if that's the worst you have to use against someone...individual game...man please don't take up a career in player analysis. You might drive yourself pretty crazy. But just to address your statements, let's look at the facts:

Just Games 6 & 7:

Parker: 14.5 PPG, 6.0 APG, 1.5 RPG, 2.5 SPG, 1.0 TOV, on 26% shooting
Chalmers: 17.0 PPG, 2.0 APG, 2.0 RPG, 1.0 SPG, 3.5 TOV, on 50% shooting

Yah, Chalmers had a pretty good G6&7...pretty much outplayed most Spurs for that matter. But it's always funny when people do that for individual games. By that standard, Kawhi got outplayed by Matt Barnes last year in G7 and by Thabo Sefalosha in G6 of the OKC series we lost.

I mean seriously? Here was Kawhi's stat line in OVER 40 minutes of play that game: 5 pts, 2 reb, 1 ast, 1 stl on 29% shooting. Meanwhile Parker goes for 29/12 in that closeout game. You can cherry-pick any player for any series, even in closeout games. It's not hard.

I think what people argues here is while Parker was arguably the Spurs best players, Mario Chalmers was a scrub in Miami´s elite team.

No one here thinks that Chalmers outplayed anyone, just that being Parker his main cover and containing him for 26% for the two most important games of the series is pretty bad on Parker.

Game 5 was just as important when Parker went off.

What?

Didn´t Manu went off in that game?

Yes he did, almost scored as much as Parker but on much worse shooting.

You guys really have blocked Parker's big games out of your memories. It's weird.
