    However you interpret, whether it be the most consistent, who raised their game the most, who was the absolute best, etc. for this 2015 playoffs.

    Poll up.

    I can see an argument for him. His defense, from what I saw, was simply outstanding. He was also shooting and finishing better in general.

    D12 was consistent IMO, James had some good showings. But Dwight was almost every game.

    Harden or Howard, both a great choice, bot have their reasons but also their faults.

    Harden didn't show up on a couple of occasions. Howard was losing his composure and missing FTs.

    I voted Harden personally.

    Harden raised the most but not consistent. Dwight raised his level but was consistent.

    It's so hard to choose between Howard or Harden. Both guys played their role to the highest level expected but had moments of depression in their game.

    Get these guys a little bit of additional offensive help and replace the defensive holes at PG and PF and we win championships with them playing at those levels.

    I thought Howard was among the top 3 performers in the entire playoffs so it's hard to give it to Harden despite Hardens magnificent performances. That incredible game Harden had was neutralized in total performance after following up with that 13 turnover game.

    Ariza
    The only thing he did wrong was trying to dribble into the lane. I cringed every time.

    Howard straight up. Not to mention he also had to bail out teammates who were not defending or rebounding well. I feel for him because you can see others weren't matching his intensity at times. Has to be incredibly frustrating.

    Great season overall, but for someone chasing an NBA championships, ultimately another season down the drain. Can't take the opportunity for granted.

    Gotta give it to Howard, most consistent, getting hacked all night, not in the best condition and injured
