Lost in the excitement: The Rockets two PGs have won the last two Player of the Month awards. Paul won April 2017
Also, SI just picked Harden for MVP (so far). More evidence of the vast anti Rockets bias all over the world.
Did Kellerman really say this today? Of course, I'm sure for COTY he'll vote Stevens over MDA (cause MDA has too much help), and EOTY Morey 3rd behind Ainge and Presti (cause it really was Paul's decision), so actually Irving and WB have more help.
Kellerman said that Harden was the 4th best player in the league. They weren't discussing MVP. Said Durant, Curry, and Bron were better players overall. It wasn't that bad of a take. You could make the argument there. I think Beard is underrated and is the second best player in the league right now.
You missed Pop for both categories. Obviously he is digging hard trying to find a way to discredit Harden
The same SI who 1/2 of their NBA podcast has openly stated that he refuses to even watch Rockets games because he dislikes them so much? That SI?
right when the quarter ended, Harden went back to the bench and Ariza started imitating Hardens step back, it was pretty funny.
