James Harden is your clear MVP after 1 game. Am I doing this right Falcons fans?

More importantly, everything he's shown is that he doesn't WANT to be that person.


Because he played on a team where 2 other guys combined to take 1/2 of the teams shot attempts?

I just think Westbrook makes bad decisions and stats aside from last year if rather have harden he makes better decisions and is way more efficient and he can play pg too...Westbrook doesn't even avg 7 assists and considering his minutes that's awful harden had 12 tonight when he got minutes

Or maybe because he contacted Presti before the draft saying OKC was where he wanted to be because he didn't want to be "the" guy. Like I said, maybe he's grown into that role, but that wasn't that long ago.

This has been reported on numerous occasions, so I assume it's true.

Yes the rockets won that deal. But OKC did alright for it's future. They would have lost him for nothing and at least have something now for the future
Rockets get a player who can score and may help them draw another max in the offseason since everyone wants to play with other stars now.

I know but I'm a big okc fan and Westbrook has so many moments that leave you scratching your head. I'd rather we kept harden so smooth and so efficient...I think cp3 should have been had before he went to lac we would've won it all last year

James Harden is the first player to score at least 35 points and have 12 assists in his debut.

I expect 23, 5 and 5 from him but he has always been a great playmaker. If he can put up those numbers he will draw another max guy in pretty easily.

most of the time that westbrook is in "black hole" mode, it's b/c durant is being a vag

37 pts 12 ast 6 reb 4 stl 1 blk in Harden's debut.

Only 3 other NBA players have done that in a game in the last 25 years.

MJ, Bird, and Wade.

I swear to God, if people don't start realizing how good Westbrook is, I'm going to shite myself and put it on youtube.

i love how we just had a finals where durant loved going into vag mode and disappearing....SO westbrook has to try to score, and people then call westbrook a ball hog
