    They should really rename it to MPP instead of MVP. It's really just most popular player. When a player like Kobe, who HATES the Rockets, even says Harden should win and does not. That tells you something. Just sucks for James. Played his ass off all year.

    I think its fair, Harden kinda disappeared in the last 2-3 matches of the regular season. And he also wasn't consistent in the first round of the playoffs, he played good, but not great

    and curry has been consistent all year long? i know some people have short memory span but Harden was actually having better year than Curry before the all-star break. After that I agree with you, Harden slowed down a bit, but why give extra credit to the late season performance? I don't get the logic. Also, Harden played great in the playoffs - not just good, but great. look at his TS% and assist numbers, it's through the roof.

    Good. This will be one of the best things to happen to Harden and the Rockets. Finals MVP is the one award I truly want him to win.

    Congrats to Curry. He was definitely worthy of MVP this year.

    Fun to debate MVP during the regular season but the playoffs put the importance of that award on the back burner. Great season for Steph and Harden but the award was always Curry's. I'm more excited to see how we come out in game 1. Curry winning MVP might hurt a little more if we had lost in round 1 again but...bigger fish amirite?

    Curry MVP? Well I guess the Rockets better beat the clips so we can get to the WCF to face the Warriors and have Harden go all Hakeem Olajuwon against David Robinson

    Harden is no Hakeem..but I expect a more motivated Harden.

    This isn't hakeem vs Robinson.

    Hakeem had injuries during the season and the spurs won 15 more games.

    The spurs had a much better regular season. The rockets had major trade and change of offense for Clyde.

    Harden vs curry is much closer.

    The rumor was Robinson thanked past mvps except dream. That was the motivation and that it was a rivalry.

    The Warriors are not our natural rivals

    Deal with it. GSW is going to be future and present natural rivals to any team that is going out of the West as long as they have the Splash bros.

    You have to give Kerr some credit here. That team's offense is run extremely well. Not to mention their D/.
