    Nuggets p-ssed away a huge 4th quarter lead and Westbrook hit another game-winning 3-pointer, this time from 35 feet away.

    oh wow.. welp, I'm glad they aren't announcing MVP until after the Playoffs.

    I'm scared of OKC, the media is thirsty for it. This reminds me of Portland when the hype was at peak levels and Rockets lost.

    Pretty much a replay of the Mavs/Magic chokes.

    Rockets are pretty much guaranteed to lose unless they're beating the Thunder by well over 15 with, say, 4 minutes left. Westbrook hits everything.

    I thibk James should just forget about the media MVP, he will probably win it when he'll stop caring about it...still have faith in the players.

    Harden has the worst luck. how many historic season can he have that are trumped by another historic season?

    I'm ok with it

    Congrats Russell Westbrook

    truly gone on a remarkable tear down the stretch willing his team to wins single handedly and shooting the 3 ball fairly well. It's recency bias but how you finish absolutely matters so Russ got that

    harden OTOH has closed the season not up to his usual standards

    Westbrook shoots about 97% in the final 5 minutes

    This choke was rather predictable

    Eh i agree. Even though, i know i'm being repetitive here but...the players did reconize him as the MVP two years ago so...

    Here it is. Even Lebron can foul out in OT on a phantom foul.

    This is a really bad call. And the thing that sucks about it, is since the game was not within 5 pts in regulation at the two minute mark, the NBA doesn't have to explain it in a L2M report, despite it happening in OT.

    You expect Westbrook to give two ***** about his teammates once he gets those 10 assists?

    He signed, sealed, and delivered the MVP today.
