This week is a little better....

Not sure about Klay at #6 though, I feel he's very replaceable.

Why is Davis above Steph? Team record my man.

**** team record. Let's get the MVP award back to what it should be - the best ****ing player in the league.

Tell me when this was the case? Let me guess, all up until '09 or so?

It's never been the case. It's either "A player on the team with a top two record in the league" or "the feel good story" for the most part.

Curry should be the clear #1, and Klay should not be on the list, his spot could go to Wall/Paul instead.

I never thought I would say this, but if the voting was held right now, I think I would vote for James Harden as the MVP.

His defense is much better this year, his offense is excellent as always, and he has done a spectacular job of keeping the Rockets going with Dwight out.

If you had told me before the season that Dwight would miss 12 out of the first 22 games, and asked me to guess what the Rockets record would be, I probably would have said they'd be 9-13 or something like that. Instead they are 17-5 ...

We have to take team success into consideration. I think it's fair to say that so far the top 3 candidates are Curry, Gasol and Harden. Davis numbers are pretty impressive but his Pelicans are struggling.
