    Nothing about the highest first-half output of any team this entire season?

    You have to realize media sites are just like companies everywhere, they all have their own agenda and interests.

    I'm beginning to think it wasn't a typo. From their perspective a westbrick trip dub is a "win".

    I mean, that's their headline whenever he gets one, and they always have his latest count and the percentage probability that he'll get the season trip dub average.

    Just realized another Alternative Fact in that headline. They are saying the rebound that clinched his Triple Double (the 10th, right?) led to the "big dunk". That was actually the 11th rebound, so the video was a lie for dramatic effect, apparently to imply how useful that rebound was

    I remember hearing on the broadcast the cavs have that stat with 81, we got 79.

    This is headline is hilarious, though. I hope they get called out

    How many of the MVP voters come from ESPN? U can basically give all those 1st place to Westbrook.

    i was at the game yesterday, we were up 22+ points then you can tell the refs decided to call all sorts of bad calls to get the game closer.

    This doesn't really matter. The headline is all that needs to be said. That alone gets the narrative out in the open.

    well, like some of the Trump stuff, this can back-fire as reasonable voters say, "That's not how it works. I'm embarrassed for USA Today." And tide turns to ppl becoming more aware of how some reporting is narrative driven, and that in itself might become the story soon....if Harden keeps winning.

    The story could become, "Are we focusing too much on the number 10 vs the great season the Rockets are having." and that USA Today tweet is flashed up as the starting point of the round table discussion.

    I screen-capped the headline myself. Didn't see anyone post it prior. Really thought I was going mad and felt no one else saw it.

    Let's see you make me an offer I can't refuse.
