playoff wins count towards reg season mvp?

No. Just solidifies that Harden should be the league MVP.

It will never be Westbrook's fault. But let another player have that type of 4th quarter

Exactly . It was a one point game when he came back in and they even took the lead at one point. Russell's cakes must be hella moist

I respect that a-friend defends Russ but can also call it like it is when he screws up.

 

[antidope]

Russ gotta win the MVP just to see these rocket fans in here, clipper dude and that spurs dude pretend like they not hurt over it

I legit couldnt care less. Votes leaked like 10 days ago.

Russ is AI with Eric Snow and nem, Kobe with Smush and nem.

Not every vote is out but Westbrook has the lions share of the first place votes and likely all the seconds for the first place votes he didnt get. He's gonna win.

But Westbrook will win, and it's been clear for almost 3 weeks now. Only hurt person regarding Westbrook would be MVP

Real talk. Vic was 4-13. Grant can't hit shots unless it's on putbacks or corner 3s. We know how anemic Roberson is on offense. The one guy who was actually shooting well the damn coach left him out that entire quarter. Is that on Russ as well?

Real talk, McBuckets barely got involved the 2nd half. Part coaching, part Westbrook tunnel vision. Vic has been neutered by Westbrook. They don't even let him handle the ball and turned him into a spot shooter which he isn't. Putbacks and corner 3's are a bad thing to hit? Grant shot 4 shots all game man. Roberson oddly has been having a scoring outburst.

Can't score if you're not getting shots or shots that are your strength. They got to let others handle the ball, Westbrook was gassed.

But 43 shots is laughable.

That's what I'm saying its a regular season award. Russ got it locked up. The way this NBA season's narrative has been, KD leaving for greener pastures, in this case golden, and  then subsequently Russ going ham it just makes sense optically for the NBA, but I wouldn't be mad if Harden took it.

Nothing Westbrook does or doesn't do matters. Houston is supposed to wash OKC.

Basically.

I was bewildered at people for actually believing OKC would win this series. They're lucky if they get a game in. 

It's probably cause all their games have been very close besides two

He was barely even in the game in the 2nd half what are you talking about.

And have you seen Vic try to handle the ball this series? It's been atrocious.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Portland gotta take somebody out. Warriors doing too much flexing.

harden gives me a toothache..he's an oscar nominee

Clearly states coaching was a factor also.

But we'll gladly hear out any other excuses you wanna make for Westbrook.

You gotta pass to keep the defense honest. I'm sorry but even if 10 of those shots went to Oladipo, Grant and Adams instead of Westbrook they would've had a better chance of winning.

Literally everybody in the arena knew what was gonna happen every time down the court in the 4th. There's no way you can win like that.

Thanks for coming blazers
