If you honestly feel Tony wasn't injured tonight then you haven't watched the Spurs at all. So Tony was sitting the bench with the 1 seed on the line? Down 3 points with a couple minutes left in the game? Come on.

He wasn't even on the bench. He was in the locker room.

Either way I know this guy is trolling because anyone who watched Tony in action earlier this season knows how incredible he was playing. Even those who hate the Spurs. Just like Dirk's amazing run in 2011. He was incredible and I don't let my hate for the Mavs cloud that judgement.

Tony's injury was/is indeed unfortunate and he is nowhere near the level he was at pre-injury. Everybody knows that. Before the injury he would have finished 3rd in MVP voting which would have been an incredible accomplishment.

Its an 82 game season and he played over 1/2 the game.

If you bump this thread every time TP has a good game for the next five years I may have to track you down and kill you

Technically it's true. I'd easily take Tony over Hill, Chalmers and Conley.

Baby bump.

30% on FG is shredding?

You missed the assist category didn't you? Having 18 of them means he was the reason for at least 36 points.

Try again.

I'll quote a brilliant comment from this thread, because it is how I feel about Parker. Dated 2/22

Let's be honest though, Parker plays the most minutes at the highest level for the best team (by record) this season.

He plays with a 55 year old PF/C, a developing center, an arthritic and balding 42 y.o SG, and a bunch of non-lottery picks for teammates.

If this team is in a major media market, it would be TP and LBJ battling it out for MVP. They are 4 games up on everyone in the league right now. Not sure people realize what kind of separation that is. If Pop doesn't bench people, they could probably have best record in the league by 6-8 games.

Had to get in on this roll bread.

TP best PG in the league? Please.

Do you even watch basketball AgCrag? Tony is playing lights out this year.

Bad timing AgCrag. Just had his best game in a close out game. He's been the best player of the playoffs, not just the best PG.

You picked a night when Parker dropped 37 points on 71% shooting plus 6 assists and 4 rebounds to sweep his way into the Finals to act like he's not even in the running for best PG?

I can't wait to see him against the Heat.

He's going to give Spoelstra nightmares

Oh, after looking around the board I see now that crag is on a mission to make sure that no Spurs fans enjoy winning the West AT ALL.

Or he will give him wet Spo-lest-ras

JerryAg brings up an excellent point.

Crag's doing his best impersonation of the weatherman that tells you there's no chance it'll rain when it is pouring outside.

Players with more points in a road playoff win than Tony:

Jordan
Kareem.

Pretty good company if you ask me.

71.4% shooting on 37 points

Hate it or love it...Parker IS the 3rd best player in the ENTIRE NBA. Period. Behind only LBJ & KD.

JALEN ROSE ‏@JalenRose 28m
Like I said, Parker is #3 right now. KB had his great run. TP HAS/IS putting in more work than all others in the conversation. Fact. #NBA

Hard to argue with Jalen right now. Big opportunity for Parker to keep this momentum going in the Finals.

Parker could win his second Finals MVP this year.

He would join:
Jordan 6
Duncan 3
Magic 3
Shaq 3
Kareem 2
Larry 2
Kobe 2
Hakeem 2
Willis Reed 2

Pretty good company.

We also haven't had a franchise superstar point guard lead his team to a title since Isiah and Magic, so he has that going for him historically.

Other than 2007 when he won the Finals MVP?

No
