    That is why RW is not the MVP.

    You build around KD all day everyday. RW has the heart but no brain.

    Thats what he gets for ball hogging. Ibaka was wide open due to his man doubling Westbrook and then Westbrook decides to play hero ball.

    Westbrook putting up mad stats but is it conducive to winning basketball? Not sure. They went into OT against the 76's...........

    He is doing unreal things and putting up legendary numbers right now but that doesn’t necessarily equate to winning and being an MVP.

    This dude has a net rating of -8 tonight, took 32 shots. He also got trapped and stepped out of bounds and iso’d and shot a contested airball in the last minutes of the game. Also on top of that, the man he is supposed to be guarding E’Twaun Moore who never plays went off for 9/10 FG and the game winning three

    I thought Harden was the only one who gets calls.

    Now. Westbrook could hoist up 33 shots per game, put up 40 point games one after another, rebound and assist like magic Johnson but without winning it means nothing.

    The Memphis loss shouldn't go against Harden. That's bull**** but if Westbrook does everything but just barely holds on to the 8th seed he should not be considered MVP.

    Also, Westbrook is leading the league in PPG but Harden has still scored more points due to Westbrook being out for a considerable amount of games. Has anyone ever won the scoring title without..you know... scoring the most points in a season?

    Pretty sure Harden would average at least 45 ppg if he got that kind of usage.

    Westbrook with another night of gaudy numbers and another loss to go along with it. OKC is barely holding on the 8th spot right now. Westbrook is still nowhere near Durant or Harden when it comes to elevating the team his is on.
