Harden is still leading the MVP race with the triple double. You know... the only award that the Rockets have a decent chance of actually getting this year anyhow with this current team. (Besides 6th man or COY) Maybe... just maybe this lights a fire under management to look more closely at acquiring another skilled player.
I'm actually scared to see Harden winning the MVP because i fear he will lose some motivation after that
In a year where it most likely will be GS winning it all (I'll take whatever trophy Houston can get this year)
I want him to win it, but this school of thought has creeped into my mind. dont think it will happen though.
Thought OP was going to say...Relax, we are in 3rd place in the West.. Well I don't want to stay at 3rd place in the West! This team isn't a contender and needs better players!! With that being said, I know that we are overachieving expectations this year but we seriously need better players to even get to to the WCF. I see this current roster exiting the 2nd round at best during playoffs.
I am glad you give the same support to our star players as you do random scrubs we happen to have on our team over the years (you know the ones you crown as our real stars that just need a chance!)
