Blazers: Bosh hits game-winning three with 0.5 left to beat Blazers

[resistanze]

But that's not what the award is about. Steve Nash wasn't the best player in the league when he won 2. Neither was D.Rose.

And those were among the worst MVP decisions in NBA history.

Wade is better on D, Harden has improved there. Wade is broken down and can't even play without taking cortisone shots. Right now Harden's overall FG% has actually gone up, he chucks threes because there is no system (Iso ball for everyone), McHale gives him the green light when he needs to reign him in sometimes. Also factor this in, the Rockets are playing with a very weak bench. No Beverley, No Asik, no Smith, No reliable backup for Harden, (Garcia is spotty) Meaning he will have to play 40 a night, along with Parsons and Dwight. He's playing on a high ankle sprain, which is when he looks to really draw free throws. Put last year's Wade on the Rockets. Do they make the playoffs last year?

If healthy, I think so. Rockets were only 1 game away from missing the PO's anyways, they barely even made it. Wade was balling during that 27 game win streak, he averaged 23 6 6 on 54% shooting with 2.4 steals in those 27 games. A healthy Wade is the best SG in the league, bar none. You have to factor in the defense. And Wade also has the skillset of a point guard, so I think he would have gotten Chandler and Lin more buckets.

Wade might have his knee issues, but he can still put up 30 when needed.

Yer late, but, even late you're acting like somebody.

Harden choked and hasn't shown he can lead a team to anything meaningful. A healthy Wade is all around better. All hype.

Really no reason to lose that game other than not protecting the basketball and the ty play of the bench (1 for 7 from 3). Otherwise their numbers would win 99% of the time. Defense...
