    Lmao. Please tell me you like Alex jones as well. It would explain everything. So when the media snubs Harden it's clearly because they hate him. But when they reward him it's just to throw everyone off the scent that they secretly hate him.

    Yeah because the nba would have problems with Harden/Paul/melo, three superstars from a exciting team from a large market with a huge Chinese following (1.3 billion ppl) making the finals.

    You should stop taking sports so seriously. I used to be hot and bothered by the lakers, etc. When you realIze they don't give a crap about you and conversely you wouldn't care about Harden if he was a car salesman you'll stop thinking everyone is out to get your team.

    what has the media rewarded harden with. an all-nba selection.. yea they only got killed by nba fans for leaving him off after averaging 29/7/6 the year prior.



    harden should be a 2x mvp if the media wasnt on the warriors dick. Oh and the media is trying to make curry into jordan, you cant see it but i can. When Durant was outplaying curry in the playoffs they would still have curry on the front of the nba logo next to lebron, when forbes just came out they said curry was not a 10 most popular athlete in the world, but durant and lebron were. So why the need to hype Curry for. Oh yea mr 2x mvp. One of those mvps he doesnt deserve according to basketball refernce

    You mean like when 8th seeded Houston jumped to 3rd in West by adding Gordon? How quickly you forget? Blazers was 14-5 after they added Nurkic. Nurkic played better than any center you've had since Hakeem. Yes, you guys have added Paul by you gutted your depth to do it and despite playing in the NBA since before you guys were born, Chris Paul has played with All Star teammates and has never reached the conference finals.

    Love,

    Spurs 114 Rockets 75
    Neither Kawhi Leonard or Tony Parker play
    Game is in Houston

    True MVPs don't vanish in playoffs. There's a reason OKC didnt give the max in 2012. He chokes in playoffs. You know this too.

    So according to you so far on this thread, Bob Myers despite having 2 rings is jealous of Morey who has won 4 playoff series and is also someone you bashed in another thread.

    The warriors are punks for adding Durant, but of course you have no problem with the rockets adding Paul and Melo. And if they don't beat the warriors it's clearly a media conspiracy you haven't thought of.

    The media hates Harden no matter what, and when they praise him it's to hide their hate. Hell Harden is the NBA live 18 cover boy because they hate him and didn't want to put him on the The nba 2k cover which is a superior game.

    The GOAT team is the 90s bulls which means the rockets titles are asterisk titles since if you are the GOAT, you would have won if Jordan played full seasons.

    You are surprised everyone is giving attention to a team that has won 67, 73, 68 games and just pulled off a 16-1 run. Hell, even here in clutchfans NBA dish section they give tons of attention to the warriors.

    The rockets could win the title next year and you'll still think the media covered the warriors parade with more enthusiasm

    Hahahahahaha! How can you arguably be top 2 when you can't beat the Spurs without Parker or Kawhi AT HOME?? By 39 points! Is Chris Paul going to score 40? What happens when Kawhi plays?

    Are you r****ded? You saw what happened when Kawhi played. The Spurs lost by 30 in San Antonio.

    If you are going to use 1 game to prove a point you can't just selectively choose.

    That was a great game. But when the season was on the line, the Rockets showed us their true colors. At HOME. By THIRTY NINE POINTS.

    Melo isn't interested in a trade was trying to sell him on "Hey we can be third in the West".

    I think Drexler is a great example of what you can accomplish in Portland before you have to move on to an actual team.

    90's Bulls> Warriors.. sorry 6 rings> 2 rings.. choking a 3-1 lead

    16-1 in the playoffs has been done before by the 2001 lakers. just like a player averaging a triple doble has been done before. Harden had a season that has never happened.. 2000/2000 and still didnt get mvp

    Yeah the bucks are getting a new building as well so we can lock in warriors vs bucks for the finals next year. The kings got a new areana last season and the pistons get one next season so did you enjoy that pistons vs kings finals we just saw?

    Hahahaha. We've already seen what happens when Lillard and Harden face in playoffs. Harden chokes and Lillard hits the dagger and twists it in less than second. CJ McCollum dropped 41 points on Klay Thompson at Oracle in the playoffs. Gordon has never nor will he ever do that. Gordon is the sixth man of the year, meaning he's the 151st best player in the league. CJ is third best SG in the league. Paul doesn't have the impact Nurkic has on our team. Nurkic had a game last season where he had 28/20/8/6. And he's 22. Capela has never nor will he ever have am impact like that.

    Oh and don't forget Spurs win 114-75 IN HOUSTON!

    2001 Lakers didn't go 16-1. They went 15-1. I keep forgetting you guys are too young to remember this stuff. Don't you have school in the morning? Better get some shuteye.
