Re: Danny Green, Finals MVP? My brother just texted me that he agrees. It's kind of hard to argue against it this point if the Spurs win it.
Re: Danny Green, Finals MVP? He would have to turn in two more huge games to win over Parker who is the best player, or Duncan who is the most respected hall of famer in the group.
Re: Danny Green, Finals MVP? If SA wins (and that is still no given) then I would put my money on Parker getting it.
Re: Danny Green, Finals MVP? True, but it would have to be splendid. Shooting lights out and playing the best D one could hope for. But having just made a name for himself, he needs to overcome history.
Re: Danny Green, Finals MVP? I think green should get it, but not a chance he will. Duncan or parker will get it.
Re: Danny Green, Finals MVP? Green feeds off others. Green is a SG Ariza: ideal role player who has got hot at the right moment. This is a bit like deciding who the MVP was of that Detroit 2004 title team: it's a team effort, so it's sort of moot. In the end they gave it to Chauncey because he was an orchestrator. By the same token, Parker should get it. The main mark against him is that he didn't play much at all in the blowout game 3 win. But here's a big point in his favor: in the only close game so far that might end up deciding the whole thing (game 1) he was the absolute MVP AND he hit that amazing game-decider. Talking of the Pistons: this series is eerily similar to the 2005 finals. People seem to have forgotten that just about every game of that series was a total blowout for the home team. Seriously: it was one blowout after another. This year's finals at least had game 1.
Re: Danny Green, Finals MVP? Green/Neal/Leonard get so many open shots because Chalmers is hopelessly outmatched by Parker. Miami has tried every trick in the book to contain Parker. They'd be better off letting him score 40 and staying home on the shooters. Once those guys get hot, even difficult shots become as easy as open looks. Green is absolutely playing like a MVP, but would he be playing at this level if Parker hadn't drawn the defense's entire focus in game 1? I don't think so. He needed the confidence boost first.

Re: Danny Green, Finals MVP? I think most of all of us said that Danny Green is deserving. That doesn't mean he will win though.
Re: Danny Green, Finals MVP? So, if Parker is making all the difference, why don't the Heat put Lebron on him, since Lebron is allegedly the best perimeter defender in the league. Chalmers would be much better off chasing Danny Green all around the court.
Re: Danny Green, Finals MVP? LeBron himself admitted he doesn't have the energy to be chasing Parker around the court for 40 minutes.
The spurs would love that. Have Parker sprinting around for 32m having Lebron constantly chase him, LBJ will be exhausted come the 4th. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
Re: Danny Green, Finals MVP? They've tried that, unsuccessfully. Parker is too quick and constantly moving. Chalmers really brings nothing to the table. LeBron and Wade are handling the ball the majority of the time, and they have better shooters on the bench. They'd be better off going big with an extra shooter that SA has to match up with. Let Parker get his and force him to defend a Miller/Jones/Allen type at the other end. They sure as hell aren't going to try defending LeBron/Wade with Parker, so SA would be short on options.
