They were both really, really good this year, guys. Harden was slightly better. Westbrook won an award anyway. It is what it is.

To see where Harden is SIGNIFICANTLY better than Russ, you'll need to go to tab #2 - Shooting Efficiency. Westbrook was mostly better than Harden this year on rebounding, where he took on the role of "sweeper".

Westbrook's face, man.

Russ shot just 2-11 from the field and 0-5 from three in the final frame, including some patented Westbrook hero ball that featured several ill-advised chucks.

Ryno finished 0-3 from deep for the game for 2 points and was 3-24 from three for the series, while Trev also had just 2 points on 0-5 shooting from deep. Ariza is now 7-44 from beyond the arc in his last two playoff series.

Bye, Thunder. Bye, Russ. Hope you enjoy that gift MVP trophy from your couch.
