    Nobody cares about MDA enough, most of coaches would want Harden unless you are GSW, Toronto or the Bucks who have either a deep team, more than 4 Allstars or just Giannis Antetokounmpo.

    But only because they dun want to break up what they have, they want to see first how far they would go.

    At least for a couple days, we can enjoy this. If we're still saying this at the All-Star Break, Harden is the MVP.

    Anybody go to the game yesterday? I'm trying to find a Chick-fil-a that's doing the sandwhich giveaway thing.

    The most major concern is get into the playoffs healthy and clicking

    Oh, no doubt. It's been an amazing turnaround. That's what p-sses me off the most about the Capela injury. This team really had a shot at a Top 2 seed in the West with Harden and Capela dominating and with EG and CP3 on the way back. Now we'll be fortunate if we somehow eek out home court advantage in the first round.

    Ryan did not start on a WCF team.

    So what's your point?

    Plays like that and a lot of his misses hitting the front of the rim remind me that he's tired. But to me that's the craziest thing about what he's doing - people are like "What's going to happen when he runs out of gas?!" but he's already on fumes and yet somehow is continuing to carry the team. The guy deserved a break at least a week or two ago.

    I'm kinda being cocky here with just partial logic: Assuming everyone's healthy for Round 1, I'd rather play GSW first round than after 10 grinding playoff games. Bring 'em on, when Paul is his freshest in the playoffs.

    From the Youtube comments:

    Harden: Hold my beard

    Healthy Rockets will beat the Worriers regardless of the round....but yeah......first round would be fine. A healthy (or even serviceable CP3), healthy Capela, healthy Gordon and 2019 version Harden......really would be a handful for the Worriers. They won't beat the Rockets as long as refs only help the Worriers 67% of the time as opposed to 80%.

    Tmac and Scottie on The Jump today advocating making a new record book because guys today are just going to break all the old records.

    Old guys are starting to get scared of how good Harden is.

    Harden has played 6 less seasons and started out his career as a bench player and now has as many 50 point games in his career as Lebron has

    Harden would at least have 1 title if he joined Wade and Bosh, and his stats would dip a little.

    Ok you go with that even though he lost his job and played minimally in the playoffs.

    If the season ended today Harden is the mvp given the obsticals he has overcome to put this ship back on course. When Paul went down we were in the 12th spot in the west but today we sit in the fourth spot thanks to his sheer wizardry
