SI writers: 2 for Westbook, 2 for Harden

Harden is 3-1 in head-to-head match-ups with Westbrook, he holds major advantages when it comes to True Shooting % (.613 to .555), team record (Houston is No. 3; OKC is No. 10), team point differential (Houston is No. 3; OKC is No. 11) and team offensive ranking (Houston is No. 2; OKC is No 16), and the Rockets have fared better against the league’s top teams than the Thunder. Harden’s “value” is felt across the board: his GM entered the season on the hot seat and is now a top candidate for Executive of the Year; his coach entered the season coming off shaky stints in New York and Los Angeles and is now a Coach of the Year candidate; and key teammates like Clint Capela, Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon have all thrived thanks to his playmaking ability. Simply put, Harden’s MVP case has it all: individual numbers, efficiency, team success, demonstrated impact on his teammates and organization, consistency, durability, cutting-edge play, overachieving and a strong portfolio of clear advantages over his top competition.

Great to see Golliver and Mahoney's Harden votes. But I am not sure if they are "official MVP voters." I really hope they are. I haven't seen any official voters throw their hat in for Harden.
