    'I've heard a lot of momentum for James Harden for MVP. He's been at MVP level for three years. If the season ended today, I'm going LeBron James.'

    Doris' ballots:
    2014-15: Stephen Curry, James Harden, LeBron James, Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook
    2015-16: Stephen Curry, LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, Kevin Durant, Chris Paul
    2016-17: Russell Westbrook, James Harden, LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, Isaiah Thomas

    another excuse not to give it to Harden. Same crap every year. After the 2015 year when Harden got robbed, don't really care anymore.

    This is no-brainer.

    For the last few weeks, Harden has had either

    1. bad individual performances with W (carried by his teammate), or

    2. good individual performances with L.

    Harden has lost all momentum for MVP, and it would take a miracle for him to win it at this point.

    Ehhh idc anymore. It’s just something you can’t win no matter how hard you try. After this season in my mind Harden will be a 3x mvp. Even tho he was runner up 3xs

    I love James Harden, but if the MVP absolutely had to go to another person, it would be LeBron. I honestly have no problem with LeBron winning it.

    I like Doris, I was giving her a pass when she voted Westbrook last year. This is getting ridiculous though. Every time she is on TV she makes sure she says Lebron is MVP.

    Whatever. She's entitled to her opinion. These awards that are won by receiving votes mean almost nothing compared to championships that are won on the floor.

    Not Lebron’s best performance today on a high profile national TV stage. We’ll see how Harden does.

    I agree that up till now it’s been a great case for Lebron, but there are a couple things that will work in Harden’s favor:

    1. Team record. I still think that the rockets will end up with more wins than the Cavs.
    2. 33 vs 28. As in their ages. At some you gotta believe the Cavs will try to rest Lebron. And his minutes will have to come down.

    If there’s a #3, it’s that Chris Paul will continue to miss a few games here and there due to his own age and injury proneness. In those moments Harden will be able to keep his points and assists averages up.

    well the season doesn't end today.
    Let's see first if Lebron can keep this up for the rest of the season.

    Strange she said it after this game by LeBron lol...

    Quite possibly his worst performance of the season.

    This is crazy. The Rockets are the BEST team in the NBA. Harden is leading the league in scoring & assist. CP has been in & out the lineup. There is no reason LeBron should be in the same sentence other than popularity

    Burke, you're pissing me off. I'm beginning to think you're an android. Get your head out from between you're butt cheeks, straighten up, and turn on your brain. Got that?
