    LMAO ESPN interns had the headline ready to go even before the game but the idiots forgot to edit it after the final result

    I don't post very often but I just wanted to put this out there. We all know how much BSPN wants to ignore anything positive to say about our Rockets (yes I do wear Rockets colored shades; however, I do acknowledge good plays and teams as long as we are not playing them)

    I go over to ESPN... I mean BSPN 10 minutes after the Rockets win and see this snippet from the front page...
    I grabbed the screenshot and refreshed to see the corrected...

    BUT JEEBUS can we not jump the gun to make the Rockets look bad... geez...

    I would be fine with a CO-MVP at this point but hands down overall Harden should win the MVP and BSPN does their best to downplay Harden and the Rockets EVERY chance they get.

    RANT over...

    I'll take "pre-written headline copy" for 400, Alex.

    My picture was better though, I just couldn't embedded it. I have the time of the crime and full page. And yea I will prob go back to just reading the forums.

    ESPN is always against the rockets.

    If you watch that video, you will see ESPN follow with a video of Oscar Robertson endorsing WB. We will never earn the media's love. Hopefully the voters are a bit more sensible.

    Amateurism and sports bias at its best. If it was up to ESPN, Westbrook would get it now. It's not a conspiracy, it's right in plain view.

    ESPN couldn't stop our Houston Rockets from winning the game.
    That's why they printed that the Thunder won.

    Harden didn't get a triple double today, so those plays actually didn't even happen. Were you not aware of the rules?

    Why the hell would they pre-write that copy? It takes less than 30 seconds to type out.

    Guys...I don't even know what's worse...who saw the video link they posted with it?


    It has the same harden miss on a 3 replayed twice (yes the same shot) ,     and then shows WB running and dunking it. Could be coincidence but that many things in a row??
