    Jason Whitlock talking sports? Is Jason McIntyre on there too? Nah, I’m good.

    What’s wrong, you can be fat and still be an analyst. Not necessarily true when playing basketball. Most of these guys aren’t analyst but more anal-holes.

    Man, I haven't watched anything and I won't. These cats love to dunk on Harden for no reason.. I pray Harden and the Rockets get a win.. then stack more wins..

    Harden got scratched in both eyes and nobody gives him a pass. PG13 got a sore shoulder and media makes sure we know his ass was hurt.

    Harden gets an eye bleed that is severe enough to cause permanent damage to his eyes, and people accuses him of wanting sympathy. Meanwhile Steph dislocates his finger on his non-shooting hand and media be like "oh I hope he is ok"

    Honestly, it might be better to stay away from the media as a rockets fan. We get undeserved hatred everywhere. It's at that point, where to 1 guy supporting the rockets you get 25 haters. It's just not worth wasting the time on it anymore.

    I don't listen to the media. I don't know why people get so bent out of shape over what they say. They are people, not robots. They form opinions based on their own bias, even if they are supposed to stay neutral. They still love certain players or teams. Nobody has to love the Rockets. I never love on any other team outside Houston, and don't take it personally when anyone else hates the Rockets. People hate Harden and the Rockets just like I hate Curry and the Warriors, or hated Kobe and the Lakers.

    Some hatred probably stems from old Rockets rivalry. Some stems from simply having their favorite team. Some stems from people just not liking the so called star of a team. I can't stand Curry for his sickening habits and cockiness and hated Kobe for a lot of reasons. I hated how he chewed on his shirt like a toddler. He got touched and it was a foul, and the list goes on. Why would our team be any different?

    People can find lots of annoying antics and habits of Harden if they choose. Maybe some of it started with him stirring the pot or doing his other antics. Maybe some didn't like the way he tried to draw fouls all the time by hooking his arm under someone and yanking up. They don't have to like a team built around one man taking more shots than anyone in the league. They don't have to like a team that just takes a bunch of 3's. They don't have to like our slow pace and ISO ball style. The media is no different. They are just paid to spurt their opinions.

    I would love to see James play with 3 other all stars. It would great. Our guys are nice but limited.

    No. As a rule, I generally avoid "hot take" shows. I doubt any of these guys actually know Harden well enough to say what he truly wants. So this is just click bait.

    Even if they were praising us, who gives a sh*t? None of these reporters actually know anything about sports. There are very few talking heads in basketball whose opinion I actually respect (Lowe, for example).

    Over time I found sports talk on television to become incredibly dull and repetitive. None of these pundits can string together 2 or 3 days of interesting content.

    I am not watching anything either. Its a toxic environment until the Rockets win Game 3 and 4 Game 5 is the big game. Like I have been saying people want to call this a sweep which is utterly ridiculous. The Bench always plays better at home

    I would too, but don't expect it to happen. Their role will become less with James taking over.

    One of the greatest blackball jobs in sports history is unfolding right before our very eyes. 10 years from now they will all pretend they loved James.

    Sad **** is . . .. I think K played with HArden at OKC
    in fact . . his shitty contract is why they could not retain harden
    maybe he resents Harden want to make his worth (4 million extra dollars)
    and leaving.
