    it goes to who has the best story

    Westbrook's story is that KD dumped him and so Westbrook took out his anger on the NBA by averaging a triple double and single handedly carrying a team of D-League scrubs to the playoffs

    Harden's story is that he switched positions and proceeded to ball out while leading a pretty stacked Rockets team to the 3rd seed

    Westbrook's media made story>>>>>Harden's

    Yeah, I had the privilege to watch us win game 7 against the Knicks and I know it was 2-3-2 back then I believe for the finals.

    Yeah, that's the false narrative anyhow. I watch WB stat pad nightly. Hope this lights a fire under Jimmy and we beat the hell out of the Thunder.

    Agreed. Now that they've clinched the 3rd best record in the league, no need to risk injury.

    I really hope Lou finds his 3pt shot in playoffs because right now he just cant hit a 3 to save his life.

    man, it is really hard to tell.

    any chance that both of them share this MVP?

    Nah, co-MVP is pretty much impossible with so many voters and the ability to put a guy anywhere from 1st to 5th on your ballot. I think that Westbrook will beat out Harden by a pretty decent amount of votes. Harden was clearly in the lead after that game against OKC, but things just went downhill for him from there while Westbrook turned into an absolute beast.

    I thought with the bench and coach and the level of play from last year that everyone counted the Rockets 8th seed at best at the start of the season...

    no one would even expect OKC to make the playoff either, if you look at the game results of OKC with KD not playing in the previous seasons.

    in my country, with a situation like this, JH and WB would get a big check from the league, and then the MVP medal goes to Kawhi Leonard.

    Fair and square!!!:D:D

    You're right, but that has been conveniently forgotten by the media.

    Now you realize the value of Ryno. Deep ****ing 3's, easy assists.

    Tell that to all of the preseason predictions, which had the Rockets at #8 and the Thunder at #6.

    Highlight of this meaningless game: Nanu's FT swishes.

    James Harden with a quadruple double! 35/11/15/10. Is this his first quadruple double?

    Good win, now let's rest Harden the rest of the way. The media has sold the mess out of Westbrook anyways.
