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.
