As of right now he IS the MVP.
a case for MVP?

duncan is still the mvp
A 3 Clutch Play San Antonio Leader Scorer All 3 Games
Duncan's to lose.
If it's going to be someone other than TD, at this point, I'm voting for Bowen.
parker is the MVP. no way around it now. consistently the best player in the series
Bowen won't get it. But Parker leads the MVP voting right now by a little. Duncan can make his final case for it Game 4 but it's nice to argue over who should get it :]
agreed.
Duncan had his usual one bad game in a series, so he should come out guns blazing in game 4, and take the MVP if they win.
BOwen though IMO, has been an absolute stud.
He should share the MVP le with Duncan.
Wasn't it 6-4 Duncan over Ginobili in 2005
Y'all forget, Manu had some big games against Detroit, and it was still TD's in the end.
Parker will get some votes for his scoring, but Duncan is giving you points, boards, defense, and anchoring the squad.
Parker deserves it. if I can think of a reason that he shouldn't get it. Timmy may be the best player on the court, but Tony has been the most consistent spur in the finals.
Question?? Is the MVP for playoffs as a whole or just the finals. Do you take the whole playoffs into consideration for the MVP?
Think about Bowen. Yeah, he ain't scoring 30 a game, but he's basically gone out for three straight games now and refused to let Lebron impose his will on a game (and succeeded).
Tonight, Bowen drops 13 points (outscored everyone on Cleveland but LeBron) and grabs 9 boards (top rebounder for the Spurs tonight), and still bothers Lebron into 9-23 shooting (39%).
People who think Bowen doesn't deserve any credit or consideration don't know about bball other than points.

Exactly.
Bowen was an absolute defensive stud tonight.
Hes played Lebron James about as perfect as you can play Lebron.
You are dreaming. I told you to stop posting about TP being MVP. He got a 3, Manu didn't do anything but got the clutch FTs.
Personally, I wish Bowen would get it. That would be the ultimate "Thank You" - way better than DPOY or whatever else he might get. He deserves it, just wish fans could force that issue.
In the more *realistic* realm - Parker is making one of a case for MVP. He has to learn from Ginobili though....don't disappear at the end of the Finals and you may end up with the trophy. I doubt Duncan would care by now who gets it anyway.
Yeah but people who think Bowen should be the MVP don't know about bball either.
Sure he's been very good but it isn't him who wins the game.
It's defenitly between Timmy and Tony.
I dispute the Game 3 MVP going to Parker. Obviously, all the credit goes to Chip!
Also think back to before this series started. Everyone said Bowen might be able to slow him down a game or two, but that was it.
The league should hold a press conference and take back the damn DPOY trophy from Camby and say 'sorry about that, here you go Bruce.'
You're right, if LeBron was going off for 38 and handing out 10 dimes a game I'm sure we'd be up 3-0 right now
Look, I'm sure the voting will be
1. Tim
2. Tony
3. (if anyone else even gets a vote) - Manu
But I'm just saying Bowen has contributed as much as anyone not named Tim on this squad in the Finals. He's the unsung ing hero.
If Bowen wins it, it'll make up for all the crap he gets as a dirty player, and being overlooked for DPOY.
Without Bowen it's THAT much harder for our defense to be HONEST. For instance, I think we would have had trouble rolling through Denver with the AI-Carmello two man tandem, without him. If anyone should challenge Duncan, points are fine on Tony's side, but I think Bowen is very deserving.
I can't believe people still believe Parker will get the MVP award. He did today what he has done every single playoff series after the spurs take the first 2 home games: struggle. This was a team win. And the bench really stepped up when teh big 3 struggled.
Again. When decision time comes, they will vote for TD again.
The problem is the same media idiots who have been crying about him being dirty will be voting on the award, which means he'll probably get negative votes if anythingIf Bowen wins it, it'll make up for all the crap he gets as a dirty player, and being overlooked for DPOY.

Parker is making a great case for it, i agree that duncan has done it on both sides, but parker has been the guy on the offensive end.
no suprise here you voting for someone other then tp
when duncan says tp is the one driving the spurs
