    House didnt even let him talk...

    House just kept getting more hype and disqualifying shannon by rolling his eyes, cutting him off, and calling him a hater.

    If it is dantonis system then they better stay consistent and vote mike for coach of the year.

    If not then they are exposed as hypocrites.

    Cant have it both ways

    Yeah, Rockets 3rd best OVERALL record. OKC 10th best overall record. Puts it more into perspective than 3rd seed and 6th seed.

    BTW, I am not a stats geek, but I recognize their value.

    Kevin Pelton doing a deep dive on the MVP race using STATS and then crowning Westbrook....that feels like it seals it. Maybe some stat people can poke holes in his arguments. I don't know. I always thought Harden had the stats on his side, but if he doesn't, he is done.

    @J.R. provided the Pelton article here: http://bbs.clutchfans.net/index.php...n-in-mvp-voting.279618/page-127#post-11015601

    Still arguing about this? Westbrook will win MVP. It's over. Harden shat the bed in the last few games while Westbrook is on fire right now, and people don't care about Harden's wrist injury. Also, l'm not really sure that we play much better when Harden is on the court. His mediocre impact stats suggest that Harden is not the sole reason for our team success this year, and a lot of contributions also came from other players on this team, especially our bench unit. Curry two years ago was different in that GSW was still significantly better when Curry was on the court rather than off.

    Morey needs to send all of these facts that we bring up here on Clutchfans to Shannon Sharpe. Guys like Sharpe need to come with irrefutable facts and sound counterpoints in order to beat these pro-Westbrook fools. That or Jared Greenberg and Howard Beck need to make the rounds on shows like 1st Take and Undisputed. They'll never get that chance tho, their voices won't be heard. :(

    Well i mean harden still comes out on top in that one lol.

    Idk why westbrook gets such a huge buffer. Harden needs 1 seed or out of this workd efficiency.

    Westbrook just needs 6th seed and top 5 efficiency

    Why isnt harden getting 3 seed and slightly leading adjusted ts% enough?

    James Harden, Isaiah Thomas and Kawhi Leonard are the 3 MVP candidates that haven't had a losing month this season

    Mental gymnastics to justify Westbrook using nearly 8% more of the possessions, and Harden STILL grades out more efficiently.

    Must be fun to be an OKC fan right now. Your guy is essentially Jesus Christ. Can do no wrong.

    It wont be fun to be an okc fan if the rockets beat them in the 1st round!

    Team success > media fawning over your favorite player.

    Am I right @tinman ? Lol. Isnt this what you are always preaching?

    I get satisfaction with the Rockets winning
    I still don't get why people care about what large television corporations who pay people to give opinions in order to raise profits think

    You > them

    I agree. At the end of the day the bottom line is the rockets winning. Thats what we all enjoy and are here for.

    You should value your own thoughts and opinions over media hype. Wise words tinman. Definitely with you there.
