On second thought I expect Russ to get 4 triple doubles in a 7 game series vs Houston and win. He's the MVP. Falling short of that would be a failure. He's gotten all the praise for the Thunder winning this season and has to accept the blame for not advancing. He can't hide behind his teammates being sorry now that it matters most on a bigger stage.

You know that's not happening. 

Last time, he has good teammates too.

IN for the 1st round upset. If somehow they pull it off, OKC going to the WCF vs GS.

Westbrook wins MVP easily IMO. Harden did his thing but he'd only have gotten it if the Rockets won their division and/or had a Top 2 seed. I think every MVP winner from the last 20 years has at least won the division. Since that's not the case for either Westbrook/Harden this season then you give it to Mr. Triple Double who made history.

It would be foolish to base the MVP on one regular season game.

But I think Westbrook just won the MVP tonight.

Can't wait to see someone average a Quadruple Double for the season now

You should know better from that Lakers-Hornets game in 2008. In a race this tight those 'Heisman moments' matter.

Russ has another shot at history. Becoming the latest player to win MVP and go out in the first round. [emoji]127999[/emoji]‍

This triple double press campaign basically picked up about a month ago if not more. Even if Harden hadn't hurt his wrist, I think the NBA has been building towards this for awhile. Plus, when the NBA's official twitter handle tweets....
View media item 2399384that tells you all you need to know. Rockets probably would have had to finish 1st or 2nd, which wasn't really realistic after awhile. I think Harden even saw the writing on the wall and conceded the race. They'll have to settle for sending OKC home in 5 or 6.

If Westbrook would of missed that 3 after breaking that record, people would of said, "but he lost tho"

He deserves MVP. I dont care about team performance and record, its awarded to 1 individual so it should be based heavily on individual performance.

Blake Griffin tweets? It's official

Not if you've actually been watching the NBA and paying attention to the media. The focus would have just been on the triple double and breaking the record. It's been very clear for a long time
