    Could care less about mvp race but if JH doesn't finish at least top 5 I will be disgusted.

    Harden's scoring has become like Westbrook's triple double. Everyone on this board was trying to downplay it and now people are downplaying Harden's scoring.

    This is beyond moronic. Even if you want to ignite FTs, the mix of 2 point and 3 points shots matters when looking at FG %.

    But I have no idea why any of us bother. Nothing is worse than a dumb person who is convinced that he is intelligent.

    Who gives a crap about the MVP ladder? After Harden getting robbed last year, I literally don't care anymore. We all know it's going to Lebron anyway..... regardless if Harden averages around 40 points a game.

    Whoever puts Kemba Walker in any MVP rankings should automatically be fired. Clearly they did this to appease the massive Celtics fanbase.

    Well, at least a case is being made for Harden.

    OT: I'd have AD over LeBron by a nose, hair. Of course, LeBron is LeBron, but AD is just as pivotal.

    Not worried about MVP this year. Harden could cure cancer and he’d never win again. Doesn’t matter.

    Just win

    Prioritizing titles? Would you mind telling me what titles have kemba, luka and Giannis have won? I seem to have forgotten about them.

    Last I check the Lakers were not good with AD on and Lebron off, and the same couldn’t be said about the reverse.

    Double response but wanted to check:

    AD on/off
    https://www.cleaningtheglass.com/stats/player/816/onoff#tab-team_efficiency

    Barely positive.

    Lebron on/off
    https://cleaningtheglass.com/stats/player/1785/onoff#tab-team_efficiency

    Insanely positive.

    Probably other dynamics going on - maybe AD gets a lot of time with the bench /scrubs. But that’s a layer of complexity that’s hard to decipher.

    For now Lebron seems more important to the Lakers.

    I’m still in awe of Harden’s greatness.

    I’m still downplaying the inefficient triple double nonsense that went on in OKC.

    This deserves it's own thread.

    At some point Harden's individual accolades are hampered by the shitty pieces we put next to him because we can't win games when Harden doesn't have a spectacular night.

    This was my biggest issue with the roster last season, and the way it panned out. Better this year, but Harden still needs more around him for sure.

    Those "hosts" on nbatv are all Harden haters. One guy was crying to Steve Smith about Harden saying the media kept him from getting last years mvp and he voted for Greekfreak. His explanation was that the Rockets record at the beginning of the season was bad and shouldn't be ignored. Then Smitty said "Ya i voted for Harden". The guy stood there stunned and Smith had to explain to his dumbass that the Rockets were injured and Harden kept them above water...

    WB is a triple double machine, not downplaying anything.

    That is the most positive I can say about him and his athletic plays maybe.
