Looks like Harden is in the scoring lead again. Harden - 27.51 Westbrook - 27.46 Both with 6 games left. The final game for both is 4/15 at 8 (we get Utah and they get Minnesota). This will go down to the wire.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the %'s on the ESPN Forecast aren't representative of what % of the vote each player would receive, correct? Isn't it just the probability that they will receive enough to win?
http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/72836/is-the-mvp-race-already-over There were two questions. Who should win? Curry (52%), Harden (33%) Who will win? Curry (81%), Harden (18%) So I didn't remember the numbers correctly, but there it is.
ESPN messes with the numbers to favor curry.. they rig the votes... ESPN hates morey because in their eyes, its almost like how dare you promote another mvp candidate over our golden child stephen curry... its why amin elhassin( the new chris bucher) dogs harden all the time, he called him a bad defender when earlier in the year harden was averaging 2 steals and 1 block per game, and leading the nba in defensive win shares. ethanstrauss and marc j spears are from the bay area, so they are biased.... when mark jackson endorsed james harden for mvp, they immediately came out with a truehoop video the next day trashing james harden, and saying the mvp race wasnt close... espn lives in their own bubble
McHale will sit Harden for the last game if the rockets playoff seeding can't change. Westbrooks will play no matter what, if he's still behind in scoring, and Brooks won't be able to stop him, because he'll never win the scoring title again, with a healthy Durant.
ESPN set an impossible bar for Harden, and if he looks like breaking it, they will move it further That Ethan Strauss is a special kind though, i'm not sure there are even politicians who build more straw men than that guy.
I still believe their peers should vote for the MVP. Or at least a focus group to limit the bias in the voting. I dunno.

curry with a garbage performance tonight, and the warriors still blow out the mavs on the road.... this guy is so overrated by BSPN its sickening
When the week long deep throating occurs over ankle breaking you know the media already blew its load.
curry and his fake nice guy act will win him the mvp. Only thing i hope for is the Rox meeting Gs and Harden goes Hakeem 2.0 on Steph Robinson
Guys, thoughts? <script src="http://player.espn.com/player.js?playerBrandingId=4ef8000cbaf34c1687a7d9a26fe0e89e&adSetCode=91cDU6NuXTGKz3OdjOxFdAgJVtQcKJnI&pcode=1kNG061cgaoolOncv54OAO1ceO-I&width=576&height=324&externalId=espn:12611421&thruParam_espn-ui[autoPlay]=false&thruParam_espn-ui[playRelatedExternally]=true"></script>
I've decided I'd rather Curry win MVP, so Harden can play with a chip and destroy him and the Warriors in the conference finals.
