    There’s a ringer piece out now listing winners and losers of the Christmas Day specials, and harden is listed as both winner and loser despite his big night. Sigh...

    Yeah he’s averaging like 40 points over the last 8 games and had a better TS% this game than Westbrook’s had for his career, so we can go ahead and chalk this up to the fact that the media simply want to hate Harden and the Rockets. No reason to go more in depth than that; just recognize them for the hypocritical fools that they are.

    Harden has actually become a good barometer for who the legit basketball journalists are. Guys like Ben Golliver, Kevin O'Connor, and Coach Nick have my respect for how they can objectively appreciate the beauty of Harden's game. He unveils who the stupid clickbait clowns on TV really are.

    I'm totally against the idea that refs and media have a conspiracy against the Rockets. Never believed it.

    However, I agree that this episode of Harden-centered criticisms is very unusual. If I had to place a fun bet, I would not put it past the Lakers or Clippers to strike at Harden's happiness in Houston right when the season is going poorly.

    A friend with almost zero interest in sports sent me a txt last night, “Did Harden choke?” No other comments or context. That’s how bad this media narrative has gotten. It’s seeping into the language and thoughts of people who don’t even watch the game.

    Funny how last night during the game they were discussing the MVP candidates. And while harden had 30 something points they mentioned 6 or 7 guys and totally went around Harden

    Fuking pathetic

    Especially those dudes not interested in sports are gullible to this narrative.

    My thought too except Curry is with Under Armour and yet the media loves him like no other.

    they had the nerve to actually mention AD, the guy who’s team is 15-19 and will likely miss the playoffs yet again

    What? I thought James Harden is the one that orders the hits. That's what I've heard.

    That's hilarious. Just like the mindless haters online. He just kept denying that it was 3 steps. Cus "espn says it was 5 steps" "check the headlines, they say 5 steps". Did he ever think that those people that wrote the headlines, similar to him, don't fully understand the NBA rulebook? But sure man don't learn the rules, you'll keep getting unnecessarily frustrated
