Kawhi basically beat Houston by himself in the 4th quarter.

 

[bosoxlover12]

he's scored 30+ in 8 of the past 11 games

Kawhi for MVP

 

[buzzy]

I predicted Kawhi winning MVP before the season started. This is my Rose if it turns out to be true

 

[Mexi]

Yeah kawhi is making it hard for me to deny hes mvp

Spurs are the biggest threat to the current Western Conference heavy favorite, the Rockets. I mean, we are really going to have to take a closer look at Harden if he can't lead the Rockets through their easy path to the finals

 

[Mexi]

Kawhi is super kobe

 

[buzzy]

If the Spurs take #1 it's a lock.
 
 
And not trying to start anything but I'm annoyed at people saying Westbrook has to be the automatic MVP because he's averaging a 30 point triple double.
Yeah it's cool but shit is arbitrary. 10 rebounds is just two more than 8 which is what Harden is averaging. If Player A was getting 8 and player B was getting 6 boards, it'd usually be a dismissible stat.
It's a cool story but I'm not gonna give someone the nod over someone else because he's getting two more rebounds a game, which for a point guard are probably pretty meaningless rebounds anyway.
Just because we have arbitrarily decided that the number 10 is something special. 

 

[bosoxlover12]

that's what i was saying a few days ago

Harden is third in scoring, and would be first if he took as many shots as russ. he also averages more assists

why westbrook would be ahead of harden makes no sense to me. it'd ONLY because he gets 2 more rebounds a game, as a point guard

i'd be fine with harden winning, but i think kawhi should. but not westbrook

 

[bosoxlover12]

crowder can't hit shit since asw

 

[Mexi]

Plus russell hunts for assists and boards

 

[Paulius]

not even about the stats, been sayig if he gets them to the fourth seed its a lock only bc his team is full of scrubs

if its a 7th seed i dont even want him to get it

i care about the wins, stats is just a plus

Utah isn't giving up that 4 seed

and i still don't see how OKC is scrubs, but Houston isn't somehow

Thunder has no shooters, but have great defensive pieces
Houston has awful defenders outside of Beverley

he's not a lock at all if okc gets a 4 seed. not even close
