Maybe not drawing as much attention as Westbrook vs. Harden, but Leonard vs. Harden will likely lead to another set of discussion as to which top MVP candidate is superior. Who will get the best of each other in this individual matchup?
I would take a Rockets series win even if Harden averages 12/6/4 and kiwi averages 35/20/15 Team over player
If we're looking at it as an individual matchup, I would say the one who has a chance of stopping the other player. Harden needs to be much, much better in this round than he was in the last one. Also -- the officials won't blow as many cheap whistles on Kawhi and the Spurs like they did on the Thunder. So if that's what we're relying on, we're probably dead in the water.
