    It was absolutely horrid that Harden got left off All-NBA teams last year despite putting up video game numbers leading team to playoff. It's time to take action and stop them from pushing their anti-Houston agenda!!!!

    They hate us, always hatin on us, always mockin us. Put a Dallas guy as our beat writer ffs.

    WHOS WITH ME?!

    I dunno if you watched the game yesterday. But I've never seen soo much love for Harden from the Media. Maybe since Dwight left they love him now and all the hate was really towards Dwight for spurning LA.

    Despite his rhetoric, Trump isn't going to do anything to change libel laws in this country, so it's a moot point. It would require a major Supreme Court decision, and there's no way they're going to allow that. Also, I would normally be on board with the media's hate of Harden and the Rockets, but it's hard to do that when an article with the headline "James Harden making his case as NBA's best player" has been toward the top of the website since last night.

    I get that Clutchfans wants to be the angry, under-appreciated fan base of the sports world, but you guys need to start picking your battles a little better. Not great timing...

    .... we cannot use fascist methods to counter a would be right winger.

    It would be half the fun to ban everything.

    What does that mean, "opens up the libel law"? Did we just elect a new Emperor?
