    harden allowed korver to score what 20? is that really great D? Lin helt Teague to 2/12 shooting. And JOnes did not do a good job against Millsap. which hurt the Rockets

    Paul George does get iso's now, but he's still more of a team player.


    The question is why does Harden get so many Isos. Offense needs more variation and less predictibility.

    You forgot to add flopping. He's getting on CP's level as of late.

    I don't know if Lebron makes players around him better...Lebron makes the team better for sure. To fit in with LeBron you need to be able to shoot, catch and shoot. Lebron is a ball dominate player that takes away other players game.

    ISO might be the right play, but doesn't mean I have to enjoy it.

    i'd love parsons to get more of the ball. you don't know me very well. And it's predictable from an Anti-Lin guy from day one. The team needs to play as team to its optimal level. Harden ball is not the optimal way to play b-ball.Rockets got many weapons now, Love to see Howard beasting, and Parsons becoming an all star. I'd love to see lin average 10 assits per game.

    Stats wise, Harden should be at least top 10 in MVP. But thats for people that just look at stats or fantasy basketball. If you actually watch the way Harden plays you know he has many flaws(one of the laziest players). Harden if you read this, please make some sacrifice, this team will go as far as you take them.

    Apparently you didn't watch the game. Harden didn't guard Korver. He guarded Carroll for most of the game and toward the end he switched to Milsap.

    Sekou Smith is probably the least knowledgeable person that NBA.com/NBATV employs. Why would anyone care who this guy thinks is worthy of MVP consideration?

    Harden saved us tonight as he continues his hot streak, but dumb NBA writers will never recognize Houston

    plays matador defense = not on the list. Become a 2-way player and he'll start getting MVP consideration.

    How many games now has this guy put the team on his back late in the 4th when the opposing team locks in on defense now? I can recall at least 4 off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are more.

    Sure the guy gets some flack for going Iso at the end of games, and we all know about his matador defense some games(deserves credit for his recent defense which has been awesome), but if you still want to tell me after tonight that this guy isn't one of the best 5 to 10 players in the NBA you are crazy.

    Definitely an MVP caliber player for many years, he's only going to get better, and the Rockets are lucky to have him.

    1. Lebron
    2. Durant
    3. George
    4. CP3
    5. Harden
    6. Westbrook
    7. Love
    8. Curry
    9. Dwight
    10. Parker
