The fact that Lowry finished below him is a shame. Lowry is a better leader than Harden will ever be.
Looks like Harden only got 3 votes, Lowry got 4. But Worrell gave Harden a 3rd place vote that's why he finished ahead :grin:
Lowry took that less talented team to the second round. Harden took this team to a .500 season. No excuses.
I give Harden as much grief as the next guy, but let's not forget that Lowry had Yao Ming in that first round and part of the second round. Yao Ming in 2009 > Dwight Howard this season. We also had fantastic chemistry that year. I blame Harden for a lot of chemistry woes, but I can't place all the blame on his shoulders.
Kyle Lowary is a playoff chocker like this game has never seen before. Definitely not a true leader. Him and DeRozan are disgrace to the Toronto community.
Harden would have that team in the ECF with a couple losses per series max. Lowry has been horrible in the playoffs. He's the definition of great regular season guy who fades in the playoffs. Maybe he changes that going forward.. will see. Regardless, since MVP is a regular season award, maybe there's an argument Lowry should be ahead of Harden... but I don't think so.
