Do you prefer Houston Rockets to be appreciated right now for what they become or rather you prefer to be under radar without ballast of heavy expectations? Somehow I enjoy idea that one day all so called "experts" will have to eat their own words or even they will start to behave like they have never said all those sh*** about Rockets, James Harden and CP3. Maybe being underdog against GSW is more comfortable for everyone and then our satisfaction will be greater? What is your opinion? Would you like love from media or disregard in this season and "big surprise" against GSW in playoffs?
Media is a w**** - they will love anyone who challenges GS because GS is becoming boring. People have GS fatigue and nothing will do more than to spruce up some excitement than to say - hey - pay attention - there is legit challenger to the throne. I think the reality is that GS is a better team and would be the favorite, but the Rockets now have a punchers chance, and no other team may have that.
It would be nice to be a respected underdog. The Spurs have what the Rockets want. They are under the radar every year but are respected despite not dominating the media landscape. They are underdogs and favorites all at once..
I disagree with the premise of the question. I think this year has proven that no matter how much media love we get, we'll still have CFers claiming that we're not respected and/or there is a vast anti-Rockets conspiracy.
