    No one is even talking about how sexy this team looked with chris paul. It was the suns but my god we were incredible. If Ryno is on we can be a real tough out for the warriors. CP3 has me giddy.

    SAS: Thunder is the 2nd best team out West. They are a Threat!!!
    Molly: Vegas Superbook gives the Thunder the 4th best odds to win the West

    *awkward silence*

    Boy SAS really waited for Thunder to beat a good team to come out the woodwork. HAHAHAHA

    ESPN is such a **** network. I’m guessing he’s talking 2nd best team to the Rockets? But of course he isn’t.

    The thunder are under ****ing .500 and the Rockets have the best record in the western conference while Paul and Harden are wrecking teams. Not a peep about them.

    Ah **** I don’t want to get drawn into this again. Its so ridiculous though.

    Honestly . . . I love the lack of attention
    The Rockets are able to not have any pressure
    No one expects anything . . .so we free to be free

    So I gues averaging 2 more rebounds was so special. Harden was averaging triple double too and they had pox ranked higher before start of season. Just funny how they keep changing the narrative. really starting to piss me off.

    Cavs underperformance early in the year is what has lebron up now. Also its just amazing hows he the top candidate and they (in general not mecessarily this video) are boasting that hes averagung 28/8/8 to justify it but harden is avg 31/5/9 which is higher in 2 of 3 categories. Just crazy, if you dont have some kind of storybook narrative you have no chance. Rockets would have to have started out 0 and 15 with cp3 out and then have harden lead them all the way back to a 1st seed just for him to get the medias attention, it sick. All this guy does is day in and out dominate but thats not a sexy storyline.

    Well, until this team is a winner the media will do what they need to in order to generate clicks in this East Coast/Lakers biased rating pool. If the media can generate additional fan interest in 5-7 markets at the expense of one they will. The other fan bases don't want to hear how much better James Harden is than everyone else so you get these bullshyt narratives to cater to others and their preconceived bias.

    Go beat the Ws and the hype changes. Until then we're nothing but a 'dark horse' conversation. With our December schedule we have an opportunity to let the league know we're the real deal. Circle that Christmas Day game with OKC to let the casual fan know we're here & for real. Be nice to have JVG on the call.

    Daryl Morey has been really really quiet this year. I think this may be a good thing.

    Sam mitchell forced harden into the conversation and they respected him there IMO

    Just building Harden up right now so they can tear him down later.

    By April it will be "The Rockets finished the regular season with 59 wins but they were 5-5 to finish and Harden just doesn't look locked in these days. Here, watch some random youtube footage of Harden slacking off on defense!" and "The Thunder went on a 9-2 run to finish the regular season with 45 wins but Russ is really showing some leadership in overcoming all those early season difficulties. That's what an MVP truly is, when we were all questioning him, but he showed us that he can take 2 other all-stars to the 6th seed in the NBA."

    extra credit for writing skill and a fertile imagination, but still a Debbie Downer whine about James’s MVP chances. would neg rep if neg rep still existed. ;)
