    Could James Harden Make A Run At MVP

    Fukkin guy isn't letting up so far

    Given only two fukkin games

    If he carries this fukkin houston team who the fuk knows

    If he keeps dropping big points and winning

    I bet you OKC is kicking themselves in the ass right now. This guy's potential wasn't being used at all by them.

    Let's see what he does once teams start focusing on him and if he and Lin can hold up for an entire year. He doesn't have a Westbrook or Durant anymore. Teams are going to start doubling him.

    Valid point

    Others might fukkin think this guy had to split the ball with those two

    He was forced to come off the fukkin bench

    True test I guess will be to wait a month or so and see what he does

    I have a feeling he's gonna do well

    Guy is motivated

    Take 25-30 shots a game and you'll win scoring titles even if you suck.

    That's how Jordan won them all.

    I love Harden, but he will slow down. I think it was a bad move by OKC in the short term. They were a legit title contender with him, and now I'm not convinced. Martin is nice, but Harden was a clutch killer and OKC's best facilitator, something Martin doesn't do. I guess only time will tell if it pays off in the long term. Do they extend Martin past this season? Why pay him if they wouldn't pay Harden? Will Lamb develop into a quality player? Who do they draft with the acquired picks?

    all in all I thought it was a mistake by OKC to deal the guy.

    Not a chance. Guy is a phenomenal player but not winning MVP or scoring title.

    Mil Mike- you can have 10-1 for 50 points on scoring title.

    People banging on about Hardens "wasted" opportunity in OKC are annoying. Do you think Harden is going to get that amount of volume and ball with Durant and Westbrook on the side? No.

    rockets were projected to get around 33 wins this year so if harden gets them the 8th seed, he definitely has a shot at MVP

    Harden will never win an MVP in his career

    He had 2 great great games to start the year. The opposing team had no legit perimeter defender in those 2 games. Let's see what he does when he goes against the toughest 2 guards in the league. He won't be scoring 40 or even 30.

    You have to finish with a top 5 record in the NBA in today's game if you want to win MVP. That's the way it is.

    D wade put up 30 ppg, 7.5 assists, 5 boards, over 2 steals and over 1 block a game in one of the best seasons in NBA history and he did not win MVP. Why? Because his team was average.

    Made a wager with a buddy for $50 that Harden will not win the scoring title. Only had to give him 5-1, too.

    people overreacting to first 2 games of the season against 2 of the shittiest defenses in the league. They got no one else that can score Asik had 19 rebounds and 0 points the other night for God sake. Rockets won't even make the playoffs as the west loaded
