James Harden





is who I'd like to win

 

Harden or curry

 

Steph

 

No Lebron or westbrook?

@Brian, it looks like Cleveland will overtake the 2nd seed.

 

Lebron won't win

Holy hell Westbrook 49 points 16 boards, 4th straight triple double. Insane. He may just snipe that MVP award if he keeps it up lol

 

Really? I think lebron and westbrook have greater odds than curry and harden.

 

Its been Curry for most of the year. Harden has been making a surge recently and so has Westbrook. Westbrook and Harden mainly since their counterparts Durant and Howard have been out and they have been playing so well. Curry pretty much since he's the best player on the best team in the west. LeBron has been playing really good basketball lately but doubt he will be voted in since voters are tired of him and the cavs had some periods in the beginning where they didn't play well.

 

Russell Westbrook deserves MVP not Curry not Harden not Lebron he's the best player in the NBA right now he plays through injuries he gets a triple double like it's nothing.

OKC will knock off Golden State in the first round after seeing Westbrook play recently not even the best back court in the NBA can stop a Durant and Westbrook combo.

I like the way Toronto played tonight against Cleveland they fought hard Lebron and J.R Smith made some unbelievable shots and got a lucky win in my opinion it's like every time the Raptors play the Cav's our All-Star has to sit out. But honestly Raptors are better off avoiding Cleveland in the second round.

 

ROFL westbrook is not the best player in the nba right now, it's still Lebron. Lebron can get a triple double every night if he wanted to (he would have like 7 recorded if he got a few more rebounds in those games). He's 2-2 in the 4 games he got those triple doubles in, and 3 of those 4 games have been against low tier teams, one of which he lost to. He's playing great, but don't get carried away there. He won't play the same with Durant back, and I doubt durant will be at 100% with his foot injury.

I don't think the raptors can beat the heat in a 7 game series. If the raptors become a 3rd seed, it spells trouble for them.

 

4 straight triple doubles do you even realize how hard that is it hasn't happened since 1989 when Michael Jordan times, and these aren't your average triple doubles like 10 points 10 assists 10 rebounds try 35+ points 15+ assists 10+ rebounds.

I'm just trying to make a clear statement Lebron is a great player but for the past several years he has had great players to help his stat line out on top of that he's in a weaker conference.

Don't get me wrong Lebron is an amazing player one of the leagues best at the moment easily just his presence will impact the game even if he has a bad game but when people compare Lebron to Michael it just pisses me off to another extent. Michael accomplished all his goals in a tougher era of basket-ball with illegal screens, hand checking, trashing talking, dirty playing, more physical basket-ball.

As for the the Heat comment you have to be kidding me without Bosh and a Wade with weak knee's the series would end in 5 games Raptors... Toronto well most likely end up playing Washington in a 4,5 match up which might go the distance or 6 games but I'm confident we can beat Wizards we have never had trouble with them and in the second round we'll play Atlanta which we have surprisingly played amazing against all season.

I don't want the number 2 seed Cleveland can have it if Indiana Pacers get Paul George back fuck playing Indiana in the first round that would be a nightmare come true any other opponent I'm fine with.

 

I'd like to see him in the playoffs again in order to properly judge westbrook and okc and see how they've improved. Keep in mind in the game tonight even though he did an amazing job they still went to OT with the effing 76ers lolll

 

I edited my post Lol... I don't think Ghast will gamble if you truly believe the Heat without Lebron or Bosh can beat the Raptors in a series then lol I don't know what to say.

Yea the Heat got that point guard from Pheonix what's his name Gragic? but Wade and his knee's are done the match up wouldn't even go to game 6 Raptors win in 5.

When the Raptors lose in the playoffs I'm 99% confident it will be in the second round.

 

You got to be kidding me. Westbrook can't hold a candle to lebron. When lebron was in miami for those 3 years, the thunder only beat him ONCE. Westbrook has horrible shooting percentages. It took him 39 shot attempts to get 49 points. The only impressive triple double he got was against portland, but he lost that game anyways. It's not hard to get assists through pick & rolls, and he gets most of the rebounds because the thunder don't crash the defensive glass. With mozgov, thompson, love, it's nearly impossible for lebron to get 10 rebounds. It's not nearly impressive as you think if you look how the thunder play.

Dragic, whiteside, deng, and wade make heat a contending team. They won't get passed the 2nd round, but I can definitely see them beating toronto, or giving them a hard time. Raptors have little to no play off experience, and mostly play catch up for a lot of their games.

 

It will be interesting to see if the bulls can hold together a playoff run once D rose and Jimmy get back from injury.

 

Lol Hawks over the Cavs and the Bulls over OKC. Its been a good week

 

Westbrook doesn't deserve MVP. Some games he does really good but his good performance can actually make OKC lose more often than not in my opinion. Yea he has triple doubles but he is still selfish as hell lmao

 

FEAR THE BEARD!

THE NEW KING JAMES FOR MVP

haha ok enough of that, NO westbrook should not get MVP... i watched the games he was jumping in front of his team mates stealing boards nearly had a quadruple double....with turnovers haha! Ok so he gets triple doubles 4 games in a row, but that isn't what his team needs because they were 2-2 with him getting them.

And to back up my sayings, after he got kneed in the face the thunder didnt have him or durant and won their game by like i think 14 points? Its all about winning games.

 

Did you just compare James Harden to Lebron James? They're not even in the same league...... We have all just become dumber by your comment.

 

Westbrook won't get mvp because of his teams seed position. I can't remember a time where the mvp wasn't in the 1st or 2nd seed.

 

Westbrook doesn't deserve it anyway.
