    The 'unanimous' MVP might need 70 wins.
    46-0 = 67 wins

    "what the lakers are doing when Lebron gets back" WTF dude!?!?!

    That makes no sense if you're talking about team record. The lakers are worse than the rockets I just don't understand how the people are so illogical

    Chris Paul got injured. Many so called experts stopped watching and probably assume the Rockets are in 12th spot, not 4th.

    Lebron and Curry seem to gain votes when they get injured.

    Like, “I wasn’t going to vote for him, but then he got injured and I changed my mind. It proves a lot, when he doesn’t play.”

    vs, “I wasn’t going to vote for Harden, but then Paul got injured, and Rockets still went on a win streak versus the best defenses in the NBA. It proves a lot when he has to win on his own.”

    Its a result of an emotional trauma it will go into annals of medicine as JHISS james harden induced stress syndrome
    The five stages of defending James Harden
    (Or a descent into anti-basketball)
    This is all completely normal. Millions have experienced this painful sequence of events. Experts have studied what happens when teams play James Harden and have broken the process into five emotional steps, or stages. Understanding these five stages can be a key to recovery, to a slow return to a normal, healthy, basketball life after facing the soul-crushing trauma of James Harden.

    We've got GS, Portland, Denver and Milwaukee in our next 4 games. Unfortunately the media will use those 4 games as a measuring stick for the rest of the season. "See how Harden by himself couldn't beat 4 future HOF'ers and the #1 seed in the west and east by himself?!? He can't win! He's not even in the discussion for MVP."

    That guy concerned with the Rockets record not being "good enough" to consider Harden for MVP probably felt the same way about Westbrook two years ago...

    Unanimous?

    MVP? Media? Harden?

    Harden gets no credit at all.... if he's picking Westbrook over Harden.

    James Harden will never, ever, EVER win unanimous MVP, EVER! Not when guys like Chris Vernon are calling his game gross and guys like Richard Jefferson don't even have him in their top 5 for MVP.

    There is too much unwarranted hate for Harden.

    Wow. If I didn't know better, I'd swear a TV channel is trying to cover all its bases and appeal to the widest swath of viewers.

    Must be a new tactic.

    Funny thing is though look at the views. Both official ESPN sources, yes the one with less is a few hours behind but still. Seems like people gobble up anti Harden media.
