So i just found out from a reliable source in DALLAS that it was Calvin Watkins who was posting videos on ESPN of Harden having lapses on defense and the reason ESPN had so many of those clips Watkins is close to ESPNDallas beat reporter Tim Macmahon, and regardless of what watkins says hate James Harden. I cant give too much info, but from what was told Harden and the players know Calvin Watkins is a snake check out the recent video watkins posted to ESPN after Harden had 26 and 15 againist the pelicans. I literally hadnt seen this video until today, is watkins gonna be doing this all year again, we know he has sources to mchale and dwight http://www.espn.com/nba/game?gameId=400899171 We have to band together to get this guy fired, if he is indeed working with the mavericks plastering stories on the front of ESPN, and uploading videos of the team in a negative light to try and keep the perception of James Harden around league not good. I believe those videos on ESPN is why Harden didnt make all-nba
sorry i couldnt finish the thread title, im half asleep waiting for this game to start lol also if you check out tim macmahons twitter, there is a picture of calvin watkins sitting next to him on the floor. https://twitter.com/espn_macmahon?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author
We kind of had this suspicion for a while, thanks for the confirmation. The harden hate ramped up amongst the media once Calvin came aboard. He may have very well hindered Harden's chances of making that all nba team. That mother****a gotta go. Who the fck idea was it to hire dallas writer?
He is a sell out. This mf'in b**** needs to be locked up. Trump should investigate his sorry ass, grab him by the p***y and put him in jail.
I unfollowed him some time ago. Never got the sense that he was a Houston sports fan, and my assumption from his tweets was that he was a Dallas guy. Always quiet when we had success, but blew the trumpet when something went wrong. We actually get better Houston reporting from ESPN via Stein.
That dude always has a hint of negativeness when he is the local team writer. Harden must have banged out a stripper he was tipping a bunch.
Just read his twitter feed. He hates on all things Houston. Coogs, Astros, etc. Just says things in a holier than thou way as well.
Awhile back, somebody on Twitter said he's just a Dallas beat writer with a long commute. Very apt description, IMO.
This just in, ESPN hates Houston. It's good work on your part OP, but ESPN has never been a fan of rockets or anything Houston. They would love for the Rockets to get last in the west and have a Curry/LeBron rematch. The love for Curry is off the charts, and LeBron will always be golden to them. Charles Barkley must have paid someone off there.
Never liked him. His responses to tweets and questions are mostly ridicules, passive and sometimes aggressive remarks. "Now you happy" is his trademark. I won't mind him getting replaced.
Calvin and ESPN are a perfect match. Don't bash Calvin; just stop patronizing ESPN. Cut your cords like I have and force them to let him go or at least impose a massive pay cut on his ass. ESPN's days are numbered. It should know better than to mess with a city like Houston.
