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 shittiest 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 :lol
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 shit...
Durants case grows stronger as Dubs lose without him and Curry and Klay are coming back to earth 3pt shooting wise
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 shit like in OKC. It's a testament to just how shitty Melo has become that he cannot fill the stat sheets with his ball whoring these days.
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 constituency should hold over the next six weeks tbh.
1. Westbrook
2. Kawhi
3. LeBron
4. Harden
5. Everyone else
kawhi is a bit late in the dance, but he is making a push for DPOY, MIPOY and MVP
he's not in the running for most improved player
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.
Come on guys, MIP is either Otto Porter or Giannis and tbh.
while over at realgm they got lebron 2nd or already with the excuses for that pos...
cavs are dropping games when lebron is out and t hey are 0-5 without him, but b4 he return to the cavs, they were already shit...so how can u use that excuse that they need him?
Westbrook gonna lead his team to 44 wins and he's ahead of Kawhi?
Why do you people have to always go full retard? Kawhi is neck and neck with LeBron for MVP in my opinion, but Kawhi wouldn't make Cleveland better than LeBron does (the gap in their playmaking is still large). I thought that idiotic poll upstairs from last season would've stopped these takes, tbh.
You niccas are dumb, dismissing Harden, westbrook Durant even LeBron 2 prop up your boy KL. He is a beast but shitting on the other canidates screams insecurities...
Both Harden and Westbrook ahead of Kiwi in the mvp race.
Replace any of the two with Kiwi and Rockets/Thunder don't even make the playoffs. Kiwi is not a better passer or scorer than those two. Slightly better defender but that's about it.
CROSS THAT BEARDED NIGGA OUT. KAWHI JUST TOOK HIM OUT FOR GOOD. REST IN PEACE SON.
:lol bynumite
LMAO Kawhi showing Harden it's is two way game :lol..
yet a fucking stat padder on a one and done playoff team is gonna win the damn award.
cmon now, wgaf what rocket fans has to say...remember when they said pasons>kawhi? lmao what a fkn joke of ass team base
1. Harden
2. Kawhi
3. Westbrook
4. Lebron
5. ??
MIP will be Jokic or Giannis, seems like it's a lock between those 2..
6th man should go to James Johnson, but not sure if he has enough name recognition..
how many of the porker fans are jumping on the bandwagon? lmao porkerfans
remember that year kobe avg +34ppg and still couldn't win mvp cause his team finish 7th? even with the historic consecutive 30pt+ games ?
now if they didn't give him mvp, why should they give it to wb who is clearly padding his stats to avg a triple double, and hardens game Is just a mimick of currys video game mvp year, chucking +10 3pta and if u hit half of that u already got 15pts on ur way to +30pts...fkn empty stats guys
What do you think steered the Spurs away from him? I think it was the 2014 off-season they bought him in for workouts, but didn't even sign him to the training camp roster. I'm baffled at why they passed on him. Almost every time that he's played the Spurs since then, I thought he's looked good.
Ahh Lebron got the block, but Kyrie hit the 3. Kawhi hit the 3, then got the block, then got the rebound, then made the free throws.
He isnt supposed to be. He isnt a guard. :rolleyes He is every bit as good of a scorer.......he avg 26 a game, and had the same 39 that Harden had last night. Defense is laughable. Kawhi is 110% better on defense than Harden and he is much better than WB on defense. :claw
1. Kawhi
2. Thomas
3. Westbrook
4. Harden
5. Defacto LBJ
Not that what Westbrook is doing isn't impressive, but triple doubles aren't the measurement for MVP, but if so, JKidd would have an MVP. They are great players playing for middle-of-the-pack teams. The West is a two-horse race and Kawhi is just so much more to his team than stat padders playing for 1st round bounces.
1. Lebron
2. Giannis
3. Kawhi
4. Harden
1. Leonard
2. Harden
3. James
4. Westbrook
5. Durant
- I despise the Warriors, yet had Curry from damn near start to finish last season and Harden earlier this one, so this isn't me being a homer
- I had Durant 4 before his injury and though he won't finish top five (Thomas will), I don't see anyone else deserving at the moment of leapfrogging him
I hope the media gets this one right. FFS, how can you have Harden over a legitimate 2 way player in Leonard.
Westbrook currently lighting up the Blazers on NBA TV. He really wants the MVP tbh. And it's his to lose imho.
Thunder are reeling an could be 41-41 team when it said and done..Yeah, you're getting MVP for 7th seed and .500 ball club :lol
I can't have mvps who turn ball over in big numbers. (Playmaker allowance and all)
Westbrook has 56 right now :wow
And a nice lil' L to go with all his points.
They are going to finish as .500 team and the 7th seed :lol.
The essence of the award would be absolutely lost if they handed it to a player on a team with such lowly pedigree. Kawhi could bury his bid on Thursday..At this point, I hope Pop let him chase thing as long as the Spurs have a horse in the race. You never know what the future holds for you.
:lol Westbrook trying so hard to outshine Kawhi
:lol Still loses the game
This "oh triple doubles!" narrative as the clincher has been a pathetic dominant theme in MVP RACE.. :lol
39 shots, the second guy with most shots on the team had 9.
And to think folks upstairs bitch about Kawhi taking 18 shots per game. :lol
the mutts over at realgm with the excuses and made up shit with kawhi he cant win...
has no playmaking skills
why does kawhi need playmaking skills when his on pace to win +60 games? why does he need to pad his assists column if his winning games?
I assume they don't watch spurs games at all since they play a boring style with no prima donnas on the team, not his fault if clowns on the team aint making shots from his passes, then they say look at their fg%, yeh why don't u look at how much shots they made for the year? its down on previous year...
Can't be a coincidence that he decides to do this a day after everyone is talking about Kawhi. 39 shots and the next guy only having 9 is ridiculous. Not even a Russ hater, but he's chasing personal glory at this point. I don't see how that's what being an MVP is about no matter how gaudy his numbers are. Inhuman performances are supposed to happen naturally to help the team win not for the sole purpose of building up your MVP resume.
* the KG comparison isn't totally on point since Kawhi is far and away the first offensive option on his team..
if the spurs win tommarow and against gsw, they be riding a 11 game winning streak, then next 5-6 games is against scrubs...now if they can extend that streak to 17 games, then comes the next gauntlet cavs/gsw/okc/Utah/mem ...... league doing whatever to stop kawhi from winning mvp and dpoy
He has a legit shot to win so relax ....
Great article about westbrook and his high usage rate ...
https://theringer.com/the-russell-we...117#.nhdyyvdks
Compares Westbrook's year to kobe in 2007 and Jordan in 1987(?)
Loves his game but argues against it as a winning formula ...
Westbrook solidifying his case with a triple double and a W against the glorified role player/system player :toast
lol wb padding stats against dleague roster pop is putting out to close the game
Lol fuck the MVP. I hope harden gets it. Lol clutch fans.
If it goes to anybody not named Lebron, then it's not going to its rightful recepient. But if it's not going to go to LBJ, it should be Kawhi, then Harden, then Russ.
Cavs are losing even with Lebron tbh. I know how bad the Cavs are without him, but you could argue the Spurs would be worse than even that without Kiwi.
Lucky none of us actually have a vote for the MVP, or the player having the best last game of the season will win it.
this is lame excuse for a lame player man, is t he gm/ceo of his team, has the same roster as last season, highest payroll in the league, goes after mercenaries, plays in the pathetic easts, has 2 other shitty allstars on team, yet is behind gsw/spurs and ties Houston for 3rd best record in league when they should be padding wins against pathetic easts teams
so lets get this straight, when they win games ... irving and love are allstars
when they lose games .... irving and love are jackshit
the double standards for this pos....
now this year and last season shows me how overrated the bulls 72-10 record is....I dunno how many times the spurs could've beatened that record, but pop doesn't care about a meaningless record set by a turd against pathetic competition...
MVP with 38, 11 and 10 tonight
