On Harden, D'Antoni, and their playoff legacies: MVP frontrunner James Harden and reigning NBA Coach of the Year Mike D'Antoni each have their share of skeptics on playoff performance, but is it warranted? In our Monday show, Ben explains why many of the "choking" narratives are overblown and why context and nuance is important in analyzing the two men and their postseason histories. The Rockets (64-16) are locked into the league's best record and home-court advantage throughout the NBA playoffs, and in the history of Harden's five prior seasons in Houston, they've yet to lose a playoff series to a team with a worse regular-season record. Should that trend continue, the Rockets would win the NBA title this season, since there are no teams with tied or better records. Will it continue? We'll have to wait and see, but for now, tune into hear how many of the national narratives are misguided and why there's more reason to believe in both men than you might think. #Rockets #NBA Learn more by Locked On Rockets - Daily Podcast On The Houston Rockets
