How is Harden not MVP with weak cast and Mcfail

[Eric Cartman]

The problem is blowing my mind, far and away the most valuable player in the league considering who he's surrounded with.

Curry has a COTY and a stacked cast. It would be a travesty if Curry gets it.

[Lebronxrings]

Lebron too. It just seems like mvp is for the player on the best team, not the most valuable player.

[Genaro]

I'm tired of this "Rockets supporting cast is weak" mantra.
Yes, Curry has a better supporting cast but let's not act like Rockets is some ultra shit level.
Brewer, Josh, Ariza, Beverley and Motiejunas are all good players. Good defenders and shooters (that's what you need to be next to Harden)
D-Mo has a nice post game as well.

So good Detroit paid him $30m to go away. That good.

He clearly is the MVP. Many of the clowns here had the Rockets not even making the playoffs, but here they are the 3rd seed in the west with Howard having missed more than half the games thus far this season.

[theaussieguy]

Implying Beverly isn't a future all star and that Ariza never won a ring. Houston is stacked.

[John Tesh]

Rockets have a pretty stacked team. Only Harden fans deny this.

[Eric Cartman]

Are we gonna sweep under the rug how terrible a coach Mcfail is?

That's the go to excuse for OKC fans shitting on Brooks so their boys don't catch the blame, same with lebronites with spo/blatt.

His cast are solid role players at best, inconsistent as hell too.

Remember when people were calling J Smith a cancer? Harden turned that cancer into a solid player. Makes everyone else around him better.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Let's not forget Harden is doing it all without his 2nd best player

[gts]

Let's not forget Harden is doing it all without his 2nd best player:wtf: Ariza has been playing



Oh that dwight guy....meh, obviously not that important

[KungFuJoe]

Houston is STACKED. They're the Hawks of the West...except they have a bonafide superstar in Harden.

McFail is the reason why they aren't doing better.

Yeah they are both elite defenders, but Dwight gives you 16/11, and was their best player in the playoffs last year

The Rockets are almost the opposite of the Hawks. The Hawks actually share the ball around while Houston's offence is essentially James Harden. We literally run the same few plays every time, Harde PnR or D-Mo post up. Everybody else, just concentrate on shooting threes.

I meant in terms of having a bunch of really good/solid players.

Ariza
Brewer
Terry
DMo
TJones
Beverley
Smith

Even a solid guy like KPap gets buried on the bench because he can't find playing time.

Yeah, their offense sucks because they have a clueless coach.

Look...if Harden wins the MVP, I won't lose any sleep. But, I still think Curry, being the best player (by a considerable margin) on the best team in the NBA should win the MVP.

Is this a result of "McFail?" Or is it a result of a Harden ball dominated offense?





MVP for best player on best team? Or MVP for a dude who has 30% of his total career points come from free throws, on a team that has depth but for some reason can't put it together.

[bobopenguin]

because he is james-whistle-harden

[ralph_i_el]

The Rocket's D is better than their O, and the D is not something I'll credit to Harden.

45 points 10 boards 4 assists on 11-24 shooting. harden is not fair

He's not a terrible coach, and never was. The Houston fans on here are just illogical *****.

If Mchale was such a terrible coach, and Harden's supporting cast so bad, then they wouldn't be winning games when Harden shoots 4 of 21 (and many other terrible shooting games which his team won in spite of).

[dunksby]

Can somebody explain to me how McHale is a bad coach? I remember him embarrassing the great Doc Rivers just a few days ago in LAC. Don't forget Terrence Jones who is the X-factor on the team, especially important since Dwight is out. The Rockets are 18-7 with him playing, his offensive rebounding and finishing helps them a lot. He is putting up 15/9 on 54% post All-star, and get this, he shoots 54% when the margin is less than 5 points and 57% when there is less than 3 minutes is left in a quarter.

His offenses are simplistic and predictable. He will be out coached in playoffs. If it wasn't for Harden this team would be in the lottery.
