Didn't see this but as someone who loathes the NBA but still plays Fantasy Basketball, Westbrook is the only answer here. He carried two of my teams to a title and he's singlehandedly carried his team to the playoffs. Using that argument, Harden also single handedly carried his team to the playoffs and it was with 55 wins and 3rd best record in league. He accounted for more points than Westbrook.

Houston had more talent though, especially offensively. OKC only had Westbrook, Oladipo (when healthy) and Kanter. Not sure what you mean about the scoring.

LeBron's team would apparently be ass without him. I saw something last night or earlier today about his on/off numbers, and the Cavs play at a level below the worst team in the league when he's not on the court.
Also, Westbrook ruined my fantasy team. He singlehandedly destroys the turnover category (and hurts you pretty bad in FG% too). It's hard to recover when you have a 1 or 2 in a couple of categories.

With that said I hate the NBA and especially hate OKC, so even though I like Westbrook, I can only hope that team gets swept out of the playoffs. Cavs have been 12-15 since the All Star break, somewhere their old coach is doing his best:

Houston had more talent though, especially offensively. OKC only had Westbrook, Oladipo (when healthy) and Kanter. Not sure what you mean about the scoring. again, houston does not have more TALENT when espn ranked players before the season, the thunder had 3 players in top 80 outside of westbrook at #4 and houston had 0 players in top 80 outside harden. one can say they worked together better, but not more talent dipo and kanter were really high picks. they have talent. and by accounting for more points, I mean scoring + assists. Harden accounted for more points each game than westbrook but that is splitting hairs, they were both off the charts they both deserve but I just can't agree that houston guys are awesome and thunder guys are trash. and I also can't agree that westbrook should win because he dragged his team to playoffs....harden did too, but in doing so was WAY better over 82 games.
