He's just gotta stop getting frustrated at all the 'missed' calls. Refs aren't calling them as they would in previous years, yet Harden does 1-2 of these a game and gets all frustrated.
It's still very early, but it feels like a Curry/Durant battle for MVP this year. Whoever wins that or wins the title (favoring Nets by alot there) is going to cement their case for top 10 in the all-time list.
I think it's Curry's to lose, so far. Sure, Harden has played at sub-MVP levels this year, but he's still an all-NBA teammate. Curry doesn't have that secondary superstar that critics can point to. Also, most people expected the Nets to be one of the best teams in the NBA, even without Kyrie. I don't think anyone picked the Warriors to be a top 4 team in the WC, much less the best team. They didn't even make it into the playoffs, last season.
If the Warriors end the season as one of the top 2 seeds in the west I agree that Steph would be the favorite, but Im not sure that's likely even with their amazing start. Their schedule gets pretty rough after mid-Dec. But it's still very early and as KG once said "anythings possible" which makes this season all the more interesting.
Eh, this board only hated him because this board needed someone to hate while Houston was contending. Now that the Rockets are as far from contending as possible, I don't think there's hate any more. Did his antics (shimmying, mouthpiece chewing, etc) bother me when he did them? Sure. But those were more feelings of annoyance than feelings of "I HATE this dude!"
Definitely, Jokic, Giannis and some other player could absolutely be MVP this year. As I said its still very early... the KD/Curry thing was just one possibility I thought was interesting.
