    Lmao
    You do realize Dwight went to Atlanta after Houston and averaged like 13 points, had one of the worst records in the NBA, and got traded after 1 season...lol. Hell, he isn't winning in Charlotte either.

    Teammates leave Harden and do worse.
    Teammates leave your fraud mvp and win championships or have career years.

    Dwight Howard - losing team
    Chandler Parsons - losing team
    Pat Beverly- losing team
    Sam Dekker - losing team
    Jeremy Lin - losing team

    These are just a few of the scrubs (expect PB) off the top of my head that Harden won 50+ games with multiple times. I seriously doubt that fraud could do it.

    He’s not my boy, I’m a Heat/Sixer fan (which means I can speak on Russ/Harden without bias involved unlike you) but I’m also a realist and you just seem so bitter that Harden didnt win MVP over Westbrook.

    And again, as a Heat/Sixer fan, I felt like last year Westbrook was most deserving of MVP and nearly every basketball fan I have talked to also agrees.. your in a minority buddy. Harden is a great player and any other year he would of won MVP with his numbers last year but those still weren’t better then Westbrook. Truth hurts.

    Yea, I'm biased. I don't make it a secret. But, I also give stats and facts to back what I say. So in the end, why does it matter that I'm biased? Can you refute anything I've said with stats or records?

    I already have... Russ Averaged a triple double... enough said.. point blank.

    I credit you for owning up to your bias/personal hatred but you should be happy cuz if Russ never existed, Harden wouldn’t be playing in Houston.

    Sitting here watching Rockets' guards just abuse Lonzo Ball. It is halftime, and this guy has played 15 minutes, 0 pts, 0 rebounds, and 2 assists. The hype needs to stop.

    Rockets up by 24 with 2 mins left.
    7 straight blowouts.
    18-4

    * But it means nothing because no one got a triple-double. Who gives a damn about winning? Right, shamegame13?

    Winning a basketball game is a team accomplishment and gets your team a championship trophy buddy

    Averaging a triple double is a single players accomplishment and gets you MVP (in all cases, imo, this is very hard to do no matter how good or bad your team is)

    Hopefully you can see the difference although I don’t expect it.

    Well, considering wins were used against Harden when he was robbed the first time by Curry in 2015 (Harden had better stats)...I thought that had something do with MVP. Warriors were the 1 seed...Rockets were a measly 2 seed. I'm so confused!!!! Can you break down the criteria for me. Which is the fraud mvp, Curry or Westbrook? Wins or stats? Considering every mvp in the past 25 years had atleast 50 wins, except Westbrook, I choose him as the fraud.

    By the way here are Harden's numbers for the game and season:
    36 pts, 9 assists
    Season average of 32 pts, 10 assists

    I mean, it isn't a triple-double...so, it really doesn't matter.

    Not like Houston gonna win it all this year or anytime while Golden State still owns the west so don’t count on Harden catching a title... keep hoping for the MVP.. that’s doable

    We see this enthusiasm from PWR every year on the nba thread. Nothing new, just wait for the real games to begin in april and see how quickly the Rockets get smacked up.... PWR disappears for days and sometimes weeks when that happens, and then comes back and says “morey is coming after PG, melo, etc, nothing can stop morey”.

    Yeah. I have faith in my squad every year. I don't just talk about my squad on here when they are doing well.

    By the way, this board sure has gotten a lot quieter since LeBron stopped stopped carrying Miami. I wonder what that is about???

    Heat-3 titles in my lifetime
    Sixers- more titles coming when you have 6’10” point guard with amazing court vision in his rookie year and a 7’2” Center that con drop 3 bombs at will... and Fultz will be returning from “the process” and then they have their baby Harden... I’m good

    I like to poke fun at the 2 guys on here that said Houston is the 4th or 5th best in the west. I am annoying on purpose. They know who they are.

    You don’t have a Center that can shoot nor a 6’10” PG.... it’s okay and it’s more like 2020 maybe even 2019 with the way they are progressing so fast. And you better hope LeBron don’t sign in Philly next year (I’m betting he does... if he was smart and wanted to win a few titles on his backend, this is the move for him) because it’s over for the NBA in this scenario.

    It's well documented that I called Bosh soft (along with Boik) and didn't want him.
    I was 50/50 on Melo. I only was willing to give up Ryan Anderson. Considering Anderson has really become a good defender, we got lucky.
    I did want Paul George though.

    I am not most Rockets' fans.

    He would be a good vet to bring in and rub some of the greatness off on the young guys.

    However, I don’t want it to turn into the “LeBron Show” and “LeBrons Team” because of what Philly is trying to do with 2 budding stars and I don’t want to hurt the development of the young guys. Simmons looks up to him and they are friends offcourt but I take that with a grain of salt because LeBron probably, more then likely, has friends on every team.

    If he could come in, be great, do his thing and actually help the younger guys like Simmons, Embiid, Fultz and Saric grow... I’m all for it.

    Most nba players are soft.

    Dude, if Bosh signed with Houston and stayed healthy, Harden might have a ring right now. He hasn’t seen the finals since a certain someone took him there, and I think a rockets team with bosh may have made it there.

    Is this where I go to rant about how LaVar Ball is the biggest moron on the planet and yet the media keeps giving him outlets? He made open racist and sexist statements, yet goes on Ellen?

    They just love this guy.

    You know Metallica once covered a song called "Free Speech For The Dumb". Maybe they can see in to the future cause that was like 15 years ago and they saw it coming! This dude literally has no point except as an attention whore.

    It's awful. The media created this guy's fame the same way they created our president's candidacy.

    All we heard around the draft was how LaVarr shouldn't be criticized because he's raised successful children that didn't get into any trouble. Well, then his son commits stupid crimes in China. People respond to that, that boys will be boys, and that doesn't mean LaVarr did anything wrong. Now, he pulls his son out of college, where he was going to get a free education from a great school, because he didn't like that he was being suspended. He says he will not enroll him in a different school, and will "prepare him for the draft". The problem with that is, the kid was never an NBA prospect and wouldn't have been one even if he stayed 4 years at UCLA. He was only given that scholarship because UCLA wanted his brothers. So not only is he taking away his son's education, he's setting him up to be a laughing stock. Tell me again, how this guy is a great father.
