    I understand that some people here might be shocked.
    So I had to tell you this.

    1. LeBron
    2. Win one for Kobe
    3. China ratings if they make the finals
    4. ESPN is located in Los Angeles

    You media lovers somehow think these companies love you and your team
    and your feelings

    they don't


    Only @Clutch does, he's the only one who cares

    I'm giving the dumb clueless fans here who overreact to TV shows
    what to expect

    like telling your kids that you shouldn't pet the rattlesnake on the road
    or that horseradish isn't mayonaise

    Used to it. I associate the Rockets oppressed status with the helpless face of my son. Got to feel empathy and determination.

    ESPN and TNT paid billions of dollars to have the games show on TV

    I have no control over that

    If it was me, I'd give it back to CBS and NBC
    they had much better theme songs

    Mockery from the media and sports pundits is our friend. Less pressure, more motivation, and more complacency from the Lakers.

    I honestly believe NOBODY HERE UNDERSTANDS THE MEDIA

    Look at how they salivate like dogs here when Max Kellerman says something about the Rockets

    He turns weak minded Clutchfans into stray puppies at the pet shelter

    But we as superior intellects understand the media motivation

    We have people here who still want Collin Cowherd to love Harden like they love Popeye's extra spicy
    that's not the sandwich they are going to get
    they are eating McNuggets

    Watch how many threads pop up in the series about TV people

    Clutchfans loves the media to love them like they are some little girl at the BTS concert who doesn't know what they are saying but believes one of them will take them to the prom

    I don't know about rooting, but based on last series, I would probably guess Lakers winning this series as well. We should have closed out OKC in 6, maybe even 5, but went 7 and barely eeked out the win. The Lakers crushed the Blazers after game 1. We will have a lot on our hands on Friday and for the series.
