JAMES HARDEN MEME AFTER BEING ELIMINATED BY THE LAKERS

JAMES HARDEN BELIEVES HE IS THE MVP AGAIN

The NBA season is almost over and it's time to pick an MVP. The strong candidates were Giannis Antetekoumpo, Paul George, Stephen Curry and James Harden.

James Harden believes that he is the MVP because he is the leading scorer averaging 36.7 points per game, very close to the highest scoring season of Michael Jordan which is 37.8 ppg.

"I did everything to help my team win, despite of the countless injuries, we still manage to stay competitive. We never quit, we're resilient and we will use this strong momentum for playoffs." - James Harden.

Paul George is averaging season best 28.7 ppg while Giannis A. is averaging 27.8 ppg and 12.9 rpg. 

IS JAMES HARDEN THE WORST FLOPPER IN THE NBA?

The Houston Rockets beat the Los Angeles Lakers again 126-111 with James Harden scoring 50 plus points and a couple of assists and rebounds. The issue here is James Harden was favored by the officials, he went on the line 18 times, the referees were calling fouls every time James Harden drive to the basket. This frustrates Lebron James and the whole Lakers team.

"It's obvious that there are some calls that are not right, this is unacceptable" - Lebron James.

It's a bad officiating night but let's give credit to James Harden who can manipulate the rules in the NBA very well, he is very good in selling calls but there are lot of NBA players who were mad at him because he always flops especially at the end of the ball game. He is very good in acting like he was fouled, the most painful part is you will foul him on the three point line. Sometimes he has no intention of shooting it, he was just really good in making the officials blew their whistle.

James Harden is a great player but most NBA players and analysts were calling him a flopper.

 " It is what it is, the officials were calling the fouls, I am playing honest basketball here, I'm just giving my best and trying to win the game for my team" - James Harden.

With the new rules of the NBA, the evolving calls, most players cannot be touched nowadays, just a little bump then you will be called foul. It's hard to play honest defense nowadays, every hand check will be called, every slight push will be called especially if you are guarding an elite player like James Harden.

The NBA officials were having a hard time making the right call because some players were really good actors, an MVP caliber like James Harden is the toughest to guard because he makes a living on the free throw line, he is the best at selling calls and pretending that he is hurt.

The NBA officiating must be corrected properly so that we can watch the best games, the best honest games without the help of the referees, sometimes the referees were dictating the game and the wisest players were thriving the most.

A twitter poll conducted by an NBA fan says that James Harden is the worst flopper in the NBA history, sometimes he looks like he is cheating, twitter users voted 3 million votes about who is the most flopper in the NBA and James Harden won the contest unanimously.

But it's ok, just like the old saying "if it is working then don't stop it" that's why James keep evolving as a player, the only missing link in his game is defense, if James Harden wants to win championships then he must learn how to play defense, he must use his lateral quickness to guard the player that he is guarding. No doubt he is one of the best but he needs to play defense all the time and not only when he wants to.

CARMELO ANTHONY AND THE HOUSTON ROCKETS Will make a NAME FOR THEMSELVES THIS SEASON!

It's a bad news for the whole NBA league. Carmelo Anthony is really mad now, the HOUSTON ROCKETS is in full support. Most of the league is disrespecting Carmelo Anthony last year. Even Jason Tatum and Kevin Know who hasn't proven anything yet in the league are mocking him.

Carmelo was once the best scorer in the league and he is averaging over 26.5 ppg in his whole career if I am not mistaken. He is like a bull in the post, his mid range and long range shots were unguardable. Stephen Smith is true... Phil Jackson devalued Melo by always criticizing him and putting him on the trade list while he was still in New York Knicks team. He go to Oklahoma and things went salty in him. Paul George, Russell Westbrook and him didn't have a good chemistry tha's why they get upset by the young Utah Jazz team led by the outstanding rookie in the name of Donovan Mitchell.

Carmelo Anthony was surprised when the OKC waived him during the free agency stage. He never thought that a player as good as him will be treated like a garbage. A lot of teams pursue him but the Houston Rockets is his preferred destination.

Now that he is with his buddy Chris Paul together with the MVP James Harden, the Houston Rockets were unstoppable now. I'm pretty sure Stephen Curry is worried right now same as Kevin Durant.

It's true that the Golden State Warriors are still the best team but the Houston Rockets is a big threat, many people thought that they just got lucky last year because Chris Paul got injured but now that Chris is back with Melo then it's completely different story.

They lost Trevor Ariza because they can't give him the money but Melo is a big upgrade, he plays defense too and he is a big mismatch on the post. He, Paul and harden is a big headache to any coac of the team.

Fans were so excited with the development of the Houston Rockets team, on the other hand... the fans of Golden State warriors were so worried because they knew that Melo is a big threat to their 3 peat this season. Last season the Houston Rockets pushed the Warriors to game 7 without Melo, what more if Melo is on the line up?

THE 2018 NBA PLAYOFFS IS COMING

We're just a few days away from watching the greatness again, the 2018 NBA playoffs is coming. It is the most anticipated playoffs ever. There are lot of dramas that we've seen during the regular season. The Cleveland Cavaliers made a lot of crazy trades, there are lot of season ending injuries that changes the shape of the league. Demarcus Cousins was out, Kyrie Irving won't play in the playoffs, Stephen Curry was still questionable, we don't know what is going on with Kawhi Leonard's life.

The Houston Rockets was steady and they are the favorite to win the championship, Toronto Raptors made a huge improvement and they think they are ready to dethrone King Lebron James. The Philadelphia 76ers is showing bright chances of winning the Easter Conference, Ben Simmons is awesome so as Joel Embiid who is likely to comeback in the first round of elimination.

Portland Traiblazers made a run that gives them security on the third spot, Utah Jazz surprised the league once more and is playing really great lead by their super rookie Donovan Mitchell.

Anthony Davis' MVP numbers is carrying the Pelicans who was supported by the emerging point guard Rajon Rondo, who finally found a home that will embrace his play making abilities.

Golden State Warriors is still a contender but a lot of experts feel that they don't have it anymore, the injuries were weakening them and the Houston Rockets is outplaying them in the regular season.

BOLD PREDICTION: Cleveland Cavaliers VS Houston Rockets in the finals.

THE HOUSTON ROCKETS GOT DISMANTLED BY THE SAN ANTONIO SPURS

Just when we thought that the San Antonio Spurs can no longer match up with the elite teams in the west... we are wrong, Greg Popovich and his crew once again show us that team work can beat superstars. The Spurs beat the Rockets to 100-83 victory led by their leading scorer Lamarcus Aldridge who scored 23 points and 14 rebounds. We still don't know if Kawhi Leonard will still return to the line up but the Spurs are really looking good right now without him. It's a two game winning streak for the spurs and currently they are on a 4th spot in west. Rudy Gay contribute a lot coming from the bench scoring 21 points and grabbing 3 rebounds, this is so far this best game in the season.

The Rockets was led by their leading scorer James Harden scoring 25 points and 8 assists palying 36 minutes of the ball game. Their star point guard Chris Paul did not play because of sore left leg.

Eric Gordon - 18 points, Gerald Green - 11 points, Capela - 11 points and 10 rebounds.

Patty Mills - 14 points, Danny Green  - 12 points, Murray - 13 points

NBA MVP RACE

The 2018 NBA MVP race is getting tighter and tighter, the star players were all showing off what they are capable of doing. So many young talents were proving the league that they belong. Injuries and slumps are making some players go lower on the ranking. This is just the temporary ranking, this will change during the playoffs series:

1. James Harden. The Houston Rockets is leading the league in standings, Harden is the leading scorer of the league. His clutch plays and play making ability prove the league that he is the number one, although Chris Paul is injured sometimes... he still manage to carry his team, Rockets is the favorite to win the finals because they have a player that can carry them up to the final quarter of the game.

2. Lebron James. Lebron is averaging almost triple double this season, he prove the league once more that he doesn't need a robin to reach the playoffs, although the Cavs is only sitting third in the east... they are still a force to reckoned with. At his age, Lebron James can still carry the team and lead them to finals once more.

3. Anthony Davis. Even though Demarcus Cousins is injured and will be out for the remaining of the season... Anthony Davis prove once more that he can carry the league and put them into playoffs. He leads his team in points and rebounds and also in blocks, he is a work horse and his numbers are very scary, his numbers is the evidence that they can reach the second round in playoffs.

4. Kevin Durant. Durant is still one of the league's pure scorers, the Warriors is only in a second place right now that's why his rank is low, I'm pretty sure that when the warriors swept some teams in the playoffs then his rank will go high again.

5. Damian Lillard. Blazers is the most improved team this year, thanks to Damian's scoring prowess and clutch play making ability. His rank will continue to rise especially when they pass the first round playoffs for the first time in how many years.

IS THE HOUSTON ROCKETS THE REAL DEAL?

Ask this question to James harden and he will never hesitate to answer you YES. Yes, the houston rockets is a legitimate contender to win the championship. They have defense now, Chris Paul is still the best point guard in the NBA, his defense is outstanding and his toughness is what is missing in Houston Rockets before, now that the entered the roster... the rockets were so tough and they feel that they can beat anybody.

James Harden is the leading scorer in the NBA, he is also leading in assist, he is the complete package to beat the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers. The Rockets were so hungry, they are getting the respect now that they truly deserve.

Golden State Warriors is wounded, the Cavs has lost their identity. The Rockets were on a roll right now, they put up some winning streaks during tough stretches.

Harden is the most clutch player in the NBA now, this beard man is not afraid to take over during late stages of the game, he is fearless, he is so creative and the best defensive players in the NBA are so afraid to touch him. He is very good in selling calls may it be on three point line or in the shaded lane.

I think that the Houston Rockets can beat the Warriors in a 5 game series.

The offense of D'antoni is perfect for the players, they know their roles, they know what to do during late stages of the game.

This team has a killer instinct, their offense is better than the Warriors and their defense is much better than the Cavs. I think Chris Paul will have his first championship ring this season.
