Beverley is a fine example of how much hate the media has for the Rockets as a franchise

    When Beverley was playing for our great franchise, he was one of the most maligned, misunderstood, bad-repped, hated players in the league by the media and fans. Now he’s doin what he’s doin for La what he always done throughout his career and now he’s a fighter and Gary Payton clone and all these great compliments and adjective. He never got this type of love from the media and fans while he was in Houston . Remember when we eliminated ok. And he got into that verbal argument with Russ and everybody was say he was doing to much. It was also Beverley’s fault for these type of altercations. Well now he can’t do enough and it’s always the other players fault.


    My point is if he was still in Houston doin this, I guarantee the narrative wouldn’t be so in a positive light for Pat Beverley.


    Hey clutchfans m, enjoy this run and screw the haters and outsiders . We not goin ever get the love we deserve From the nba circle and media. We really all we got.

    I don't know. I think that he's just in a much larger market now and his fans and supporters are saying the same things about him that we were always saying about him.

    I'm pretty sure that a lot of fans still don't like him all that much.

    The Bad Boys Pistons were hated. The Bad Boys Pistons have two rings. Bring on the hate.

    I mean, he got 1st Team All Defense with us.

    He might have been hated but he was just as recognized with us.

    James Harden is a better example.

    I don't necessarily disagree with you. But, at some point, we're just going to have to get the f*** over it.

    Just not true, the media also loved him as a Rocket! Only that first Westbrook 2013 move was controversial. Stop getting caught up in your worlds, Rockets fans.

    No offense intended but even if true, who cares? Why do we have such an inferiority complex as a sports town?

    That's just how it has been, is, and always will be. The media is based on the East and West coasts. Everything in between is "fly over" territory. We just have to get over it. Quit being the little brother that's always pissed.

    He was liked enough to be a core piece in the CP3 deal. Obviously, the Clippers got a good haul for CP3.

    It's like they are saying Harden is only in your imagination. I actually missed him in the first look at this and I was thinking you photo-shopped him out.

    Clippers got quite the haul for CP3.

    That was a trade that was a win-win for all involved. I’d do it again as a Rocket fan.

    Morey building goodwill around the NBA?

    I don't know why some of you care so much about what the media says. It's just so stupid.
