Doris doesn't dislike Harden she just prefers Westbrook and Lebron IMO. I would say it pained her to pick someone that isn't Westbrook or Lebron. The moment she said it pained her to vote Harden, she immediately tried to walk back her comments.
I like Doris a lot. But what is strange to me is that being a former PG herself, to not see how much of a better PG Harden is over Westbrook is a bit odd to me. I think media get a bit too caught up in the "Westbrook competitor visual" and not dive a bit deeper to see "activity" does not automatically mean "achievement." As a smart analyst, I don't see how Doris can't hold some of this stuff against Westbrook. She should see this through a PG prism.
This looks bad compared to last season's vote, when it objectively was a closer vote. Did anyone feel bad not voting for Harden? Windhorst, Lebron has 4 MVPs, don't feel bad. Feel bad for Harden if he got robbed out of 3 MVPs himself. And why wasn't this Lebron for MVP campaign raised over the last 4 years? Why now? Why? Because the MEDIA needs to have a foil for Harden to drum up discussion.
doesn't really matter if you start nearly half of them anyway. Having said that, Lou Williams deserves it even though i thought he started to wane towards the end
So if Harden was better offensively and defensively than LeBron was this season....what was LeBron better at ?
Imagine if this was actually a close race and Harden was only slightly better than everyone else. Harden wouldn't even be top 3.
But of course they're going to give the MVP to the man that produced less and got his team blown out.
I find it laughable that they basically give Harden very little credit for being great last night. If it was LBJ or Durant they would say that you can’t stop them because of their greatness so key on everyone else. When will Harden truly get his due? Will it take a championship or even two?
Dude, these guys kinda just saying Minny played bad. We only won by 3, i thought Minny was playing pretty fking good considering they barely made the playoffs.
Harden did what MVPs are supposed to do last night. When the supporting cast is playing like crap, he puts the team on his back and carries them to victory.
Shannon Sharpe is trying to defend his "LeBron for MVP" argument right now. He's saying Harden had help last night because CP3 scored 14 points. Skip looks bewildered and pointed out that Paul was horrible in Game 1(which he was).
If it's such a no brainer and so easy to get the ball out of Harden's hands at the ends of games why doesn't anybody do it and start throwing traps at him? Perhaps somebody saw something on film, like maybe the film of him being an elite passer who has more assists than anybody in the NBA for the last four years.
