Western Confrence Player of the Month more likely.
Manu!
Western Confrence Player of the Month more likely.
Didn't Parker win it last week? Be cool to have different Spurs not named Duncan win it on consecutive weeks.( it'll be cool even if they didn't do it consecutively).
Manu should win it. He is carrying our team and is playing out of his mind! GINOBILI!!!!
ginobili will be great but amare is a serious contender
I think Manu will get it this week.
Spurs have finished their week. Manu has it clinched, not just because of his stats, but because he did it with Duncan out against two very good teams.
I would be Jim's last dollar on it.
I dunno...Chris Paul had a 42 point game tonight and AI had a 50 point game the other night...
The back to back 30 point games against elite comp might swing it to him...but it's not a gimme.
Hopefully Manu will win it though...
In any case...Manu's just about got an AS bid locked up now.
then duncan comes back and puts up 30 and 12 and 3blks and gets player of the week!
If Duncan wasn't out, the other guys would have a case.
But AI lost the game he scored 51.
I would bet Jim's house and IRA that Manu wins it.
I don't agree with this. The coaches won't be voting til the first week of February or so and the West Conference is really deep with guards. So, Manu and Tony are both going to have to keep up a very good pace for them to make the team. These couple games in December won't lock it for Manu.
Well hopefully you're right...the fact that Manu's games came against Dallas and Utah ought to carry a lot of weight...
Good point about AI doing it in a loss...
That still leaves Chris Paul though...
I think it will...because coaches love the way Manu plays. And they're the ones that will put him on the team. When Manu goes off...he's not just tearing the other team a new whole, he's tearing the coaches a new hole.
I'm not saying these two games did it...I'm saying they finished it...Sloan and Avery coached teams ought to impress every coach that watches, that isn't already impressed.
If I'm wrong on the AS Team...it'll be the first time I'm wrong about it in the history of SpursTalk.
Ginobili will get it.
But if the Spurs are still playing .850 ball, it'll be an easier case that all three should be there.
Based on performance alone, though, the Spurs only clear-cut All-Stars are Manu and Tony.
I just think there's way way too much time til they vote. Plus, the guards in the West are awesome. So we'll see.
I know...and I think Manu has been more of a coach impresser this season than Tony...Tony has the weakest chance right now IMO.
The 1-2 slots are pretty deep in the WC.
Manu
Tony
DW
CP
Baron Davis
Kevin Martin
Kobe(Starter)
T-Mac(Starter)
Steve Nash (Starter)
All of them are potentially backup AS canidates, excep the ones with (Starter). Am I missing anybody?
And how many guards are allowed on the AS team?
Manu was always great at tipping balls and get his hands on passes. But it seems like he's taking it to a new level this season.
That part of his game has improved. He anticipates the other teams plays.
When the game is helter skelter, he causes havoc all over the court. The block he made on Boozer tonight was all basketball IQ.
I don't think Tony's chances have diminished much. Before every game when they interview the opposing coach, the coach says the key to the game is "stopping the penetration of Tony Parker." All season, every game, this is all I hear. Tony is averaging 20/7 and shooting 51+% . So I think he has a good shot.
It's just there's really a lot of good guards. (I know I just said that.)
Manu = Now I know why everyone goes for my head, it actually looks like a basketball.
there's a big difference. amare has someone shoving him the ball. manu is creating his own shots.
I think that the photo really shows Manu's BB IQ
Oh yeah I forgot AI on that list.
