James Harden is gonna get screwed over again in MVP Voting

Westbrooks averages have been done before

 

Im not saying James is doing great things. One of the best statistical seasons ever. But averaging a triple double is historical and will be talked about another 25 years. Its like somebody having a monster baseball season offensively but is on a title contender vs pace to win a triple crown on a borderline playoff team.. Guess which one's gonna get the most media coverage? Cause history is involved.

 

Not when you look at his numbers in detail. His scoring is not great (32 points on 24 shots). His assists to turnovers is not great. His rebounding is not great, especially considering all the gift rebounds his team is letting him chase. And his defense is pathetic.

The hype is historic though.

 

Lmao true.

 

I'd be interested in the media's opinion on which tri-dub was better.

Westbrook - 57-13--11 highest scoring tri-dub
Harden - 53-16-17 First and only 50-15-15

Whoever says Westbrook was gonna vote Westbrook no matter the case.

If Harden switched stats, they'd say, "Oscar didn't win MVP either". LMAO

 

He is losing it right now by dropping off significantly in these last few.

He ain't getting screwed... he's screwing himself.

 

Welp.

 

Harden has severely hurt his case these last 3 games. He just needs to focus on getting his wrist right for the playoffs. This version of Harden isn't taking us anywhere in the postseason. He's looked like a shell of himself and is playing too tentatively trying to protect his wrist. Just sit out and get it as close to 100% as possible. We need u to play like an MVP in the playoffs.

 

Luckily, spurs beats OKC. Harden is still lead Westbrooks

 

you know if you went up to harden and told him he was playing tentatively because of his wrist, he would say GTFO. I understand he has a sore wrist but people are drawing too many conclusions....

 

I am so much of a harden fan that it pisses me off knowing that he might not get the MVP cause of r****ded Mike Dantonio putting Gordon as starting forward instead of a real power foward(harrell/dekker)...

 

Idc what he would say...dude has looked atrocious since he aggravated his injury against OKC

 

Unfortunately his biggest case is his team being top 3 in the league and that won't be enough to stop the media hype machine over Westbrook. He's now behind Westbrook in RPM, RPM wins, value added, PER stats. Still the league leader in points created + points scored by a mile

 

I think if Harden wins it won't be because of Westbrook, it'll be because of Kawhi Leonard or Isiah Thomas.

People really seem to forget that it is ranking votes. As it is right that many will go with Westbrook because of his triple double, there are many that simply will just award winning and thus may put Kawhi or Thomas over him.

So it's not Harden vs Westbrook, if it were then yes, Harden would lose (even though I'm still taking Harden over Westbrook.). It is Harden vs Westbrook vs Lebron vs Kawhi vs IT...

Basically, I could see Harden getting more 2nd place votes while Westbrook may see some 3rd place votes because of team position. Harden I think (and hope) will get nothing but 2nd and 1st place votes which may do the trick for him.

 

We are homers and would still vote Harden but WB's stamina has me impressed.

I also would consider Kawhi seriously.

 

I think he would've been better off going out on a high note by sitting to see if the wrist improved. Playing terribly down the stretch doesn't help his MVP campaign or the team overall. I'm inclined to think voters who were already leaning Harden would have understood an injury and the need to heal -- but it's really hard to turn a blind eye to how poorly he's playing right now.

 

He screwed himself brotha by not sticking to just being a passer if his wrist is effecting his shot man

 

If Harden doesn't win, the Intel drone delivering the trophy will be hacked. The drone will crash and the trophy will shatter. Hopefully it will land on some celebrities and not innocent seat fillers.
