If OKC makes the playoffs is there anyone other than Westbrook for MVP?

Harden should get MVP IMO

 

[Wamu]

The only challenger I can see would be Harden. I'd probably give the edge to Westbrook because he plays defense, but Harden is making a strong case for himself.

Good point. Gotta be honest though, the season he's having I didn't see coming.

If I had a vote I'd vote for Tristan Thompson!

I think they should give it to the both but knowing how the league works, they'll just give it to the player on a team who finishes higher which is likely Houston

BTW this Knicks/Hawks game is something else.

Tied at 123 in double OT with 1 second left. KP and Melo both fouled out already

Triple OT

That wouldn't be a bad idea. Has there ever been dual MVP's for a season? I'm just too lazy to look it up right now.

Triple OT

I hope it goes 3 more OT's!

Tied with 47 seconds left. May be looking at yet another OT

Westbrook was awful overall today. I don't care about the triple double lol

Yeah this was a shit game from him. This reminds me of Harden 40 point triple double vs Miami recently. Everyone was so excited about his triple double that they completely he ignored that he played like shit.

4 overtimes

One of the best athletes I've ever seen but doesn't think the game through like the other greats.He only knows how to play at one speed. Sometimes it works...sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't work, he doesn't have much of a fallback plan.

Me either. I don't think anyone did. I think most thought he would look to make a point, but not quite like what he's been doing.

 

[gordontrue]

Come on lets get a 5th OT. Why not.

 

[gordontrue]

That was a good look. Finally over. Hawks win.

Proof Mike D'Antoni is a totally awesome coach!

Sunday's make Monday's even worse. So I salute you Monday...

@WiggyRuss

I'm surprised you didn't mention LeBron became the 1st Cav to score 20,000 for the franchise. Just saw that on espn.com.

im waiting for him to pass up another guy all time scoring in the top 10

i believeh e will be 9th before the season ends


nice bounce back game for the Cavs tonight. Irving and Thompson both played great.

Thompson in particular...his energy was up defensively. I think he was one of the players really slumping hte passed couple weeks. To see him really play the pick and roll well and frustrate westbrook like that was encouraging- and the guys rewarded him on the offensive end

 

[WiggyRuss]

9th before the season end? Is the league planning to take some of his points away? He's currently 8th all time right now. He's 683 points away from passing Shaq for 7th all time.

Damn wiggy, you just shot an air ball w/ that statement.

thats right....my bad...i know he passed up top 10 all time earlier in the season and was possibly getting to 8th before the end...for some reason i didnt think it was possible till nearly the end of the season.....

683 points from Shaq.....is that possible before the end of the season?
