Not his best night tonight, but big road win and some big plays down the stretch. Didn't hurt himself tonight, and another game towards the 2 seed is huge.
He might need to wrestle away the scoring lead from Westbrook to "better" himself in the voters for the MVP. It'll be really hard to argue against Harden if: - Rockets end the season with the 2 seed - Harden ends the season as scoring champ

curry just hit a huge 3 at the end of the game for the warriors. the suns scored again to go up by 1 with 4 seconds left. and then harrison barnes hit a hard shot for the win...

This guy is seriously an *******, imagine if someone on our team was this disrespectful... <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Andrew Bogut on Mark Jackson telling Dan Patrick he'd probably vote James Harden for MVP.

We did. Chandler "I'm the best SF in this series (proceeds to get owned by Batum)" / "I think it's a joke I got left out on that (FIBA tryout) team" / "Let's sign a contract at a bar and take pictures/video to be seen on social media" / "MFFL" / "I'm a superstar" / "Rockets kept looking for a third star and I was offended" / "Dallas is a cleaner city" / "Dirk has always been my favorite player" and "I post passive aggressive tweets when called out" Parsons.
And when Parsons was on our team he took a lot of heat for saying he was better than Batum... Harden got so much crap for saying the Warriors "ain't that good" in a freaking motivational huddle speech... You know what Bogut said will just get chuckled at and glossed over because he plays for the lovable Warriors and said that about Harden who's not the most popular guy to say the least...
Wow, I guess I'm just living in a rockets bubble, but that's crazy, currys averages are similar from last season, yet harden is averaging numbers that bird and jordan put up.
He said Harden and Westbrook last week, if OKC and Golden State played, he'd say Curry and Westbrook, Smith basically only picks guys who play on that very day, lol.
Which is VERY surprising - given that the NBA's own star players are saying Harden is the MVP. I haven't heard one yet say they'd take Curry. It really is only the fans who think they know basketball - who state Curry is the MVP.
Still baffles me... Harden is only making $28,000 more than Parsons this year. And what has Parsons done for the Mavericks! #overpaidbratchandlerparsons
