    Loving this media underrating Harden and our team, talking about Harden's stats as a product of MDA's system and what not, that he's to do less for us than Westbrook for OKC etc. Keep yapping media and following the narrative like sheep. Harden is the man and we know it, so it's fine with me. In a decade or two, people will see how much they missed out on by hating on this guy. Defense needs work, but this guy has to do everything else. Amazing player, don't take this time for granted fans, it could be gone in a flash.

    I don't care about the media, I care about the 99ers, if they like it, then it means it is good and right and just

    Three things seem glaringly clear this year.

    1. MDA was the right coach for this team, and for Harden.
    2. When in the right system, with the right coach, Harden is one of the best players in the league, a legitimate MVP candidate.
    3. With the above, the Rockets are a lot better team than anyone, including most Rocket fans anticipated.

    Outside of that, the media can suck it. In fact, being underrated by the media is one of the badges of greatness.

    It's funny that your title mentioned don't hate but the first thing in your post is about the media b****ing.

    There is no need to play the victim card, even NBATV put up a sticker on the screen for the Harden historical stats tonight.

    Just a happy new year's message to the media and fans, no need to overanalyze freaking nerds.

    Russ' defense is pretty bad too so idk why people say **** like "Russ is a better defender" when that's far from true.

    Max Kellerman's dumbass is going to chime on about "the system" while ignoring WB's free reign to jack up shot after shot

    Max Kellerman is perhaps the biggest blowhard in sports talk...and that's a high hurdle.
