So let's get started with MVP here mr. Luroo the top line is not as challenging as before

James Hardin is having an absolutely spectacular season my stats are a couple days old, but they're still pretty close and

P.E.R. Just under 30 just remarkable how good the rockets offense has been when he's been on the floor offensive rating around

115 usage it's 36 is just absolutely insane. That's that's the ESPN iteration of usage

There are a couple different versions of it and certainly there one of the arguments is that the rockets have been better with

Harden off the floor

I mean better with harden off the floor than like they were in other years

They're still they're still obviously a greater positive with it with him on the floor and

My count one of my counters that is a most teams don't have Chris Paul in their second unit a lot of the time and secondly

Hardin's excellence to me has allowed the rockets to stagger their guys in a way that might not have been as

Palatable for other teams and so to me that's a purlative offensive season in the fact that really nobody in this mix had a

Truly strong defensive season made it a pretty easy call well in this week

I mean you're just saying that Janice an AD or not in the mix. I think they both had pretty good defences
