Did Harden's win today settle the MVP debate?

4th leading scorer on his own team scoring just 10 points from the court outside the FT line with only 16 points total.

While Westbrook dominated as usual. Imagine how unbeatable Houston would be if Westbrook and Harden switched places. I bet this thought makes Houston fans cry at night.

Hardens 3 straight 35 PT games to start the playoffs was the most by any player since Jordan in 1990. He is allowed a sub par game.

Who cares this is the playoffs Bubba. Once regular season is over we move on to playoffs. Come back in June when the seasons over.

He'd be a really bad fit. Likes to dominate the ball while everyone stands around and waits on him. Not as good of a passer as Harden. Houston would be worse.

I seem to remember that being a criticism of James Harden as recently as 9 months or so ago.

Was waiting for this correct response.

NO way in hell they'd trade Westbrook for Harden if the Rockets even had the opportunity they would tell OKC "Thanks, but never".

His career Ast-TO ratio says otherwise.

His style in no way fits Houston's system.

They would have to change their entire offensive style to accommodate as he dominates the ball to be effective. He would not fit well in that system they run whatsoever. He needs volume, and Dantoni's system is about movement.

harden is clearly the better passer.

Best passers in the NBA are

Harden
Lebron
Paul
Wall
Curry
Rubio

That is only true of late, aka, the 2016-17 season.

He'd be fine. Probably not as effective as Harden, but fine nonetheless.
