    where did you hear that, if thats true.. it only makes the nba more and less a popularity contest as people have been saying for years. I doubt the nba even has average tv ratings this year. People are sick of the NBA now. Also mark it down if harden is a rocket this entire season.. luka and the mavs will not finish with a higher seed than us, thats with porzingis healthy or not

    as does nbcsports. will be very intresting to watch steph curry this year and how the media covers him when the warriors struggle( like i think they will). They'll probbaly use the injury excuse or claim he is no longer in his prime

    If Rockets trade Harden, the team will get another star. Maybe not as good as James but definitely a star. Add that with healthy Cousins/Wall and star in the making in Wood, then Rockets will definitely move towards Surprising Team slot. With Harden staying, team is in Top 3!

    actually, yahoe is mostly sharing precisely these nbcsports worriers articles. there are occasional clips/fakers articles and anti-rockets ones mixed in, but i'd say 80% WFFL

    they also said mike dantoni would be worse type of coach for harden, because dantoni failed with kobe and melo. They are sleep to the fct that harden is the most complete offensive player in the league, he can do anything.. yes even play off-ball and post up

    Yep, narrative has been set for Luka already. All he has to do is marginally improve from last year and he'll probably get. Doesn't matter what seed the Mavs are.

    I assume this is without Harden which I’d disagree with but there’s enough question marks to make it plausible. If this is with Harden they’re just trolling. Anthony Davis can’t lead anyone to the playoffs. Harden could drag your high school team there.

    Without Harden, Wood and company could get us to the playoffs.

    even if lukas defense is crap, the media will excuse it. when for years that was why they kept harden out from being a top 5 player. Nash, dirk, curry all can win mvp without being 2-way players but harden has to be a combo of jerry west/ and gary payton to even sniff media praise

    Boogie was a Worrier not long ago and he got a bigger contract than the one now.

    If we make the playoffs we will be like the Thunder from last year, exceeding expectations and putting up a first round fight against a better team. Otherwise, I could easily see us missing the playoffs.
