Why ? I didn't see a thread led "I don't want to hear about MANU being the MVP anymore" in 2005 Finals ?
I saw this one coming.

Lead the team in scoring again.
So what did you see, that made you convinced he isn't
Um, what did you see coming? Tony was our leading scorer, had 17pts, 5 reb, 3 ast, and shot a higher fg% than duncan did.
If it wasn't Bowen tonight, it had to be Parker.
Annnd hit the biggest shot of the night
Parker is making a case for MVP as much as Manu was in 2005. Anyone that refuses to see that is blind
From both an offensive and defensive standpoint, I'd have to vote Bowen the MVP tonight so quit the bickering
So you are one of those who think he is the MVP because he scores more than others? LOL
He shoots 20+ shots a game. More than anybody else in the team, even TD. Manu? Manu shoots about half of it each game. Game 2 he got 25 pts off 11 shots. If you don't give him the ball he just can't score as much.
Parker shot 7-17 tonight. Struggled. Manu shot 7 times and got the clutch 3 FTs.
I don't think it makes much sense to say somebody is the MVP because he scores more pts when he is the one taking more shots than anybody else.
He had 2 very good games at home, but he struggles on the road and he did before in previous years.
At the end of the day, TD will get it.
Tim better be MVP. Tony has been playing amazing but everyone knows Duncan is the Spurs core.
Duncan shot 6-17 tonight. Other than Bowen, no one played well enough tonight to be considered a favorite for MVP any more than parker.
Now I actually think Tim should get it also, because of his defensive contributions. But the arguments being made her AGAINST parker are not all that strong.
Umm.. Tony played awesome today. The Cavs game plan was to triple team him and he still managed to lead the Spurs in scoring. And he should have had double-digit assists but the Spurs couldn't knock down shots for much of the game.
Lame ass thread.
my MVP is that big fella wearing # 21 Spurs jersey who created screens for his teammates who only played 33 minutes against 39 minutes of Parker due to foul trouble.
if he allowed another offensive rbd for that missed Varejao last minute shot in the 4Q we're through. :praise: that was one good defense Timmy!
So what ? In the end of 2005 final, TD got the prize -deservedly so, yet i can see the case for Manu for the MVP.
That 3 was incredible.
Bowen was the MVP of this game. Duncan the overall MVP for the series so far. Parker the offensive MVP for the series so far.
TEAM
too many freedom fry eaters up in here

a bitter ginobili fan.
Shocking.
Kori are you a bball coach?
Because you seems to have a huge bball knowledge, not like some guys on this board...
Werd. He was the best Spurs in the series before tonight, and he was the best Spur tonight.
Bury the hate.
their game plan was not to triple team him - their game plan was to cut off the lane for tony and many - when parker had the ball on the perimeter he had one defender - daring him to shoot a jumper outside of 15 feet.
Duncan is the mvp = no duncan - no finals -
no parker - finals still a posibility
what I don't get is how can your point guard lead your team in field goal attempts which is contrary to being a point guard -- yet at the same time - not lead the team in scoring ?
Tony would have to make a DAMN STRONG case for himself just to wrest the MVP away from Tim by default, should the Spurs win.
That being said, so far I see the MVP going to Tony. And I think it would be a crime for Duncan NOT to get his 4th Finals MVP. But so far, Parker has earned it.
Funny how many times in the last seven or eight years that the whole Spurs offense has come grinding to a halt because teams make a conscious effort to limit Parker's penetration. Now he manages to perservere despite it and score in a low-scoring game the Spurs barely win and where Manu scores three whole points and people are still bad mouthing him. Wow.
Parker has been amazing. Basically, he's becoming unstoppable, even when teams are focusing on him. Duncan is always the best player on the Spurs, and the reason why they win. But it doesn't necessarily mean he's always the best player in every series. If Parker has a huge game 4, and the Spurs win, I don't see why he wouldn't get it unless people feel an obligation to give it to Duncan.
Duncan is ALL-TIME GREATNESS, but it doesn't mean he has to be the MVP every time.
Bruce for MVP!!
Major props need to go out to coach Chip, without him Tony isn't hitting those outside shots.
