    The same Melo that missed both of his FT against Boston at the end of the game that cost them the W and than turned the ball over in the closing seconds against Portland?

    Harden has never missed the playoffs as a Rocket and even managed to single-handedly get the 8th seed and steal a game from the Warriors in 2016. Not bad for a guy with no heart, killer instinct, or competitive streak.

    Another triple-double season. One more win than last year! Come on, where are all the dumbass voters from last year?! MVP last year but he's not even gonna make your top 5?!

    Seriously. If averaging a triple double gets you an MVP award, how do the voters who voted for Westbrook not vote for him again this year?? Whats different??

    Just shows you how dumb it was to vote for someone just cause their stats had nice even numbers.

    He doesn’t make his teammates better. All he cares about is himself he has said it before.

    I think he deserves the MVP more this year than last year.

    If you think averaging a triple double is hard in one regular season, just imagine how much harder it is doing it for two seasons...back to back!

    Agreed. and how he even increased his level when it really mattered and got 18 and 20 rebounds these last games. That is some fire and passion and comittment to stat padding.

    When Melo throws a selfish tag you’re way you know you are a stat passer.

    NBA fans will look back in 20 years and marvel at the 3 championships Harden brought to this city while the best debate to engage any fan in would be "who's the worst MVP winner since 2000? Russell Westbrook or Derrick Rose?"

    kicking, tripping, and pushing his teammates out of the way in order to secure the rebounds that he needed in order to get that triple double average...Russ showed a lot of heart tonight...the grit, the passion, and intensity were on full display

    Yup an gets upset at them if they get it. That easy Melo rebound the other day you could see wesrbrrok got upset about it.

    Okc is not about the team but about Westbrook they plan everything so he gets those stats because it will be in the “history books” even though is all padded.
    Presti and the owner want this so they get more consideration from good players, to play with the triple double machine :p lol.
