The fact that Tony hasn't done his disappearing act in this years post season is more than enough to qualify him for mvp, but it will still go to Tim.
Don't count out Manu just yet, he plays his best ball on the road!

Tim's had those extra little things though like the 8 assists tonight (I'm not quite sure on that though) and those 5 blocks in game 1 and just the little things he does. that's what'll get him the MVP trophy
I hope the Spurs win the next two games and this becomes the biggest problem Spurs fans have to worry about.
True Dat... I remember having this same conversation after Game 2 in 05.
co-mvps Duncan / parker
Absolutely Timmy!!!
After game 2 I think that TD is still the MVP. He just does all for the team. He is scoring, rebounding, assisting, blocking shots... + if Timmy would shoot as many as Tony does, he would also score about 30 a game. Spurs without Tim and with Tony on the floor suck, but if you play with Duncan and there is no Tony you are playing much better. SO TIM DUNCAN ALL THE WAY.
Sure it does but if the Spurs are not pushed in this series and he does not win it his legacy is advanced just the same. Only goes against him if the Spurs are really pushed here and he comes up empty when they need him and still win the le.
30 points for parker but only 2 assists................MVP for Duncan.
Word.
Right now it is Parker. No, Horry (9 rebounds, 5 blocks). Next game it could be, who knows? Michael Finley? That is what I like about the Spurs, it isn't one person, it is the whole team (except maybe Brent Barry). Their bench is too powerful for most teams to beat them in a 7 game series, except maybe Dallas.

total bul ttt why tony has no assist finley and barry was bad on 8 assist of duncan four to tony jump shot
The stats right now are Tony 28.5 pts, 4.5 assists, on 58% shooting.
Timmy has got 23.5 pts, 11 reb, 2.5 blks, on 57% shooting although his D has been a huge factor so far as well, not just the shot blocks. It is close we'll see how things shape up in Cleveland.
IF Parker keeps playing like this he is the MVP. His penetration is the key as well as his speed....he causes much of the problems..more so than Duncan so far![]()
Duncan's D and getting double teamed like crazy as a whole is a bigger factor than Tony getting in the lane.
My friends told me Duncan and Tony switched places in game 2. With Duncan distributing the ball. They said Tony sometimes was selfish.
Well, I can't say I agree with what they say. I didn't notice. I still have to watch the replay.
Tim&Tony both MVP
I would go with Tony but it is probably because I am used to TD greatness.
Tim is the cornerstone of our team and the MVP for the playoff run. But so far, for these finals TP is the key. The crazy thing is that Manu stand just behind the two others. If the cavs finally adjust to Tony speed, something tells me Manu could be back in the MVP discussion.
One think is obvious :
SA >>>>>>>>>>>>> Lebron
It probably proves that MVP honors are meaningless.
All around great play and being the defensive anchor makes Tim Duncan the Finals MVP in my eyes. Spurs is all about the defense and not the offense.
Timmy. I would have almost gone with Tony but the fact that their assist numbers are the same sent me right back to Duncan.
if manu wasnt able to win mvp with his performance during the 05 run..
then tony clearly wont win this years MVP.
say all u want but timmy is still the real MVP of the spurs n the finals.
to make it simple..
use this logic, as what has been posted here countless times before.
take tony out of the game.. what happens to the spurs?
take tim out of the game.. what happens to the spurs?
if u can take one out, who would u rather be in the game? tim or tony?
theres ur MVP
This is ing stupid dumbass.
yeap.The spurs wouldn´t been playing the finals again if it wasn´t for the big 3.And the team needs them ALL 3 in order to get another ring.Period.
They need and complement eachother so well (along with Bruce)that,the spurs wouldnt been the team the are right now without ANY of them.
how in the ing is tony selfish he was told to shot 25 times before in game one and told the same thing last night
