    So that means that...

    Harden = Rocket fuel
    Rest of Rockets = The Rocket
    Harden = Can be both the Rocket and Rocket Fuel
    Championship = Outer Space
    Mission Control = McHale = Houston we have a problem

    I'm willing to fight anyone in a yusuke/toguro type battle who says James isn't the MVP at the moment.

    He needs to bring it on Wednesday and the Rockets need the W.

    I don't think you'll find anyone who would disagree that he deserves to be either the MvP or the runner up to Curry, but I think many of us feel that he has to lead us to a victory against the Warriors in order to ensure the voters who aren't Houston homers will vote for him.

    Within 3 years he will probably have 8 of the top 15 or so. Wowow

    Fun watch. From a statistics perspective without a doubt Harden is having a MVP year. He is definitely a candidate.

    However, I can't help but think more about his performances against better teams. His stinker a few days ago against the Warriors is still concerning. I think he also struggled against the Hawks and Grizzlies. Throw in the Blazer playoff series from last year and it makes you wonder if he can truly deliver it consistently for us.

    I'm a huge Harden critic and him being in the MVP talk this year is great but let's see what this can all amount to. I'm hoping he'll take us deep into the playoffs this time around.

    No one mentions Duncan, Ginobli, or Parker in MVP discussion despite always having the best record in the league but suddenly it's the most important thing in the debate when comparing Harden and Curry
