April 25, 20179 yr Hasn't been one game those two stats are from 2 different games and it's happened multiple times this year only reason he's in consideration is the over rated triple double stat...when the game matters he's a ball hog as evidenced by his last game of 17-10-10 first half and finished 35-14-14
April 25, 20179 yr Continue to ignore his +/-.....When he's on the floor they win, when he's not they're the worst team in the West.
April 25, 20179 yr Continue to ignore his stat stuffing for triple doubles, he's been on the floor and they're going out first round.
April 25, 20179 yr If he had Lebrons stats for the year 26.4 8.6 8.7 , which if he always wanted a triple double he could do as well, Russ wouldn't even be in the conversation for MVP
April 25, 20179 yr Continue to ignore his stat stuffing for triple doubles, he's been on the floor and they're going out first round. Do you even know what the +/- tracks?
April 25, 20179 yr I'll take the player who will have been to 7 straight finals over 1 MVP and out in first round Westbrook
April 25, 20179 yr Absolutely, it doesn't equate to best player. Then you'd understand that they have been better than the Rockets this series when he's on the floor and really poor when he's not.
April 25, 20179 yr I'll take the player who will have been to 7 straight finals over 1 MVP and out in first round Westbrook The past six seasons have nothing to do with who's been the MVP this season. And you'd get no argument from virtually everyone that LeBron is the best player on the planet. It doesn't mean that he's had a better season this year than Westbrook. He hasn't.
April 25, 20179 yr Then you'd understand that they have been better than the Rockets this series when he's on the floor and really poor when he's not. Oh completely!! Never said they aren't better with him on the floor. He's a terrific talent and player. The past six seasons have nothing to do with who's been the MVP this season. And you'd get no argument from virtually everyone that LeBron is the best player on the planet. It doesn't mean that he's had a better season this year than Westbrook. He hasn't. Lebron is taken for granted bc he is consistently been the best player for so long. I would disagree he hasn't had a better season he's in second round Russ won't be. Again if Russ had Lebrons season numbers is anyone mentioning him for MVP?
April 25, 20179 yr Absolutely, it doesn't equate to best player. The MVP Award is for the Most Valuable Player not Most Best Player. That's why is it called MVP and not MBP. Houston is better than OKC and that's a fact. I get it that you hate Russ and that's cool. As UKMF said, carry on.

I get it that you hate Russ and that's cool. As UKMF said, carry on. He's not the MVP nor the best but people love their numbers so I get it. I don't hate Russ he's crazy good but apparently guys in the NBA don't like him bc nobody wants to play with him.
April 25, 20179 yr He's not the MVP nor the best but people love their numbers so I get it. I don't hate Russ he's crazy good but apparently guys in the NBA don't like him bc nobody wants to play with him. That's false also. Just because KD is a wuss and doesn't have the desire to beat the best doesn't mean that people don't want to play with Russ. By all accounts his teammates love him and love playing with him. For me, I don't care about Russ' numbers. I love the way he plays and approaches the game. He plays hard every play. He goes hard every second he is on the floor. He wants to win every game at all times. I love competitors like that. He doesn't take days off for rest in January, February or March because he is tired. When this team has suffered without him on the floor he hasn't thrown his team under the bus he's stood by their side and defended his team every single time. I do think the numbers help his case for MVP and I put more stock in his numbers than James Harden's numbers because Russ' numbers are needed for the Thunder to win. The Rockets don't need Harden to get a triple double to win. OKC needs a triple double from Russ just to have a chance to win. And you hate Russ and that's cool. I hate MJ, Tim Duncan and Kawhi. MJ is still the best to ever play the game, Tim Duncan is the best or second best PF to ever play and Kawhi is one of the top 5 overall players in the game right now. I still hate all 3 of them and can go one for days and days about how overrated all 3 of them are just to display that hate. Anyone who calls a 6'3 guard who averages double digit rebounds a stat stuffer is letting the hate flow through them. As a long time practitioner of hate I know it when I read it.
April 25, 20179 yr When this team has suffered without him on the floor he hasn't thrown his team under the bus he's stood by their side and defended his team every single time. Gained a lot of respect for Russ when he went after the reporter after Sunday night's game. We all know LeBron would've been all too eager to back that bus right up over everyone else.
