I think Westbrook's boost has surged the past two weeks with his triple doubles, crazy comebacks, Harden's ailing wrist, Cavs floundering and no big Kawhi plays.It would be foolish to base the MVP on one regular season game.
But I think Westbrook just won the MVP tonight.
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....
