Harden has been fine on defense this season.
Westbrook (and harden's too) rebounding is inflated due to free throw rebounds.
Harden is having one of the best offensive seasons ever.
And before the season it was widely predicted for the rockets to be around the 8 seed. Instead they are likely to have a better record than the 1 seed Cavs in the east.

Westbrook shouldn't even be in the top 3 'Triple double' is such an arbitrary criterion . Dumb ass media narrative. Harden, lebron and kawhi have had objectively much better seasons and a bigger impact on their respective teams Voted for harden, considered kawhi Its pretty damn impressive considering only one player in history has done it, and even then that was in a hyper paced league.

I would take Adams and Dipo over any non-harden player on the Rockets roster

I think all can agree on that. but the extra rebounds he gets off free throws that normally would go to the bigman is why he is over 10 rebounds per game ^from espn article

Harden is about to lead the Rockets to a 55+ win season probably without any true support around him. This roster is as bad as the 66 win Cavaliers team with Lebron everyone likes to rave about, justifiably.

Just saying its not overrated the triple double thing to me, because no one in the history of the game has done it since Oscar, and Oscar did it in a league where averaging 20 rebounds was kind of expected out a big.

Just believe the rockets system has good bit to do with their reg season success. If harden puts team on his back in playoffs and wins I'll be give him more credit. I'm not saying harden sucks. Just love what Westbrook is doing

Harden has a -1.54 DRPM that's #394 out of 458 players
