I was on the harden bandwagon early in the season but he's been exposed lately. Westbrook is totally stat padding. Lebron is cruising. Greek freak is putting up empty stats. Durant is now hurt and he just joined the greatest team of all time. Curry regresses and is playing at the 2015 level, which was good but the MVP field improved this year.

Kawhi should win it but won't.

OKC is 1.5 back of 4th place, despite having one of the tiest supporting casts I've ever seen on a playoff team..Westbrook's on/off numbers are historically good, none of his teammates even approach him in any metric..he'll be a lock if they get in the top 4, maybe even top 5..

Starting lineup for last nights blowout against Clippers:
Ariza +8
Anderson +7
Capela +15
Beverly +32
Harden 0


Harden had the lowest +/- last night aside from Bobby Brown who only played like 0.4 seconds.

Harden also leads the league in turnovers

I would vote Russ over Harden, but those acting as though he (Beard) is not at least a legit candidate along with Durant are full of ...
Durants case grows stronger as Dubs lose without him and Curry and Klay are coming back to earth 3pt shooting wise

[Killakobe81]

Dubs about to be 0-2 since the knee

Russ is likely the MVP but there are a few in the league who could put up similar numbers if the rest of the team, owners, front office, coach, didn't give a like in OKC. It's a testament to just how ty Melo has become that he cannot fill the stat sheets with his ball whoring these days.

dubs won 73 games without him last year, that's all that needs to be said tbh

Westbrook won't finish top 4 'cause he shoots like , tbh.

if kawhi doesn't win mvp, does he have a case for dpoy? ppl keep on saying gilbert or draymond, but they havnt done anything worth mentioning this year

u cant give it to draymond cause he was meant to win it the past 2 seasons, this is not a honor award man or else Duncan would've had one b y now

I think thats very unlikely. Donkey is probably a lock.

The members with awards ballots credentials conducted an informal poll Pre All Star Break and Dryamond tallied a comfortable 100+ point lead over Kawhi.


This cons uency should hold over the next six weeks tbh.

System player LOL...

Harden has been (relatively) bad for a month (efficiency and defense have both gone south)...Meanwhile Lebron has shot +60% for February is going to likely lead the Cavs to better overall record than Houston despite losing two starters for significant period of time..Amazing how November basketball seems to set narrative for this award. We are long past "Harden or Westbrook" really..Lebron and Kawhi should really be in serious discussion right now..

Meanwhile Kawhi in 2017:

28.2 PPG, 5.8 RPG, 3.7 APG, 1.8 SPG
50.2 FG%/35.7 3PT%/86.1 FT%
All-World Defense

kawhi is a bit late in the dance, but he is making a push for DPOY, MIPOY and MVP

[spurraider21]

he's not in the running for most improved player

Stop it with most improved ...he was a top mvp candidate last year ...

[FkLA]

Kawhi won't win MIP nor should he, but Wardell got MIP buzz last year after an MVP season. Not sure why throwing Kawhi's name in the mix is so farfetched.

i don't see who else should win it tbh, he's improved a lot as a scorer.

Jokic prolly wins it imo

curry was also having a historically great offensive season, to be fair
