    Dude he got lit up and was their 4th best player. It was a gift from the NBA. Lebron averaged 30+ per and the Media claims he was shut down. Kawhi also faked an injury and quit on a season to get traded. Sounds like an MVP to me. SMH.

    And? He made it.

    Everybody else on his team was playing hot potato with the basketball. The rest of the team It was like 2002 kings vs lakers game 7 when Chris Webber would dribble away from the bucket or pass as soon as he could.

    What does 2017/18 season have to do with 2014 finals mvp?

    Who else was significantly more deserving of finals mvp in 2014?

    You act like He’s never played in big games when that’s not true. He obviously was the best player in the Milwaukee series which got them to the finals.

    I know that your post was just a round about way of complaining how people treat Harden but your premise was false if you look at what has actually happened.

    the GS team are really deep, they lost KD but got Demarcaus back, now they might lose Klay, but they will get KD back, man, if anybody can beat this team, it would require some extreme luck because it is just not fair for any team to be playing a team of 5 all stars, the GS has totally ruined the NBA,

    Harden is the best player in the league. Golden State has 2 top 5 players and 2 top 20 players. Golden state = extremely talented collection of players. Harden = best player in the league.

    Why is that so hard to understand? Replace anyone on Golden State with Harden, and they are even better than they already are. None of that is narrative driven, and it’s consistent with what people have been saying all season.

    Nobody claims that curry and Durant are mediocre. Literally nobody, on any side of the argument. That doesn’t mean they are better than Harden individually.

    Nick Nusre has proven to be great in game adjustment coach in the playoffs. This is what many of us belive MDA lacks. He successfully adjusted his line up to beat Bucks. In game 2 against warriors, he went with unconventional box and 1 defense late in the game after Klay was injured that gave Toronto a chance to catch up. Brilliant coaching!!!

    dude played the same exact players when toronto went down 0-2. what exactly did he adjust his line up to.

    what's so brilliant in game 2? they were up as much as double digits. went scoreless for about 6-7 minutes. not only did they give up their large lead, they never recovered from it. brilliant coaching

    My bad on line up change against Bucks. The adjustment was putting Kwahi on Giannis but it made huge difference.

    Coach cant make players shoot better,so I cant blame coach for scoreless 6 to 7 min stretch. That is on the players.

    In terms of recovering from deficit, the defensive adjustment did give Toronto chance at the end to cut down the lead to 2 points.

    the defensive adjustment to have klay leave the game with an injury. got it

    are you seriously trying to give NN all the credit in the world for getting back into a game they choked away initially? All the while using this to take a shot at MDA. So if you're using this to praise him, why doesn't MDA get credit for getting back into game 5 where they were down as much as 20 and were tied going into the 4th and on the road in Oracle. Or does that not count?

    They didnt cause the injury. That was Klay trying to be creative to draw faul as JVG alluded to.

    Nick made best adjustment as a result of of the Klay injury situation that gave his team best opportunity to win.

    give me a break with this adjustment bs
