Discussion in 'Houston Rockets: Game Action & Roster Moves' started by tinman, Nov 27, 2017.

Most Important thing is

  1. Championships and media hating us for winning for 20 plus years

  2. No Championships but lots of love from First Take, Inside the NBA, and whiny rappers who autotune

    It's the players job to focus on a championship and our job as fans to focus on demanding respect:)

    It is impossible for me to care about winning a championship and also my favorite player getting his MVP. There is just not enough time in the day

    i apologize. It's on me. I didn't post enough about the Rockets winning the championship the past few years and that is why we've failed in the playoffs. From now on I'm only gonna dedicate myself to the most serious championship posts.

    Not winning anything but getting Stephen A Smith to yell out Rockets players name every day

    I want chips, and I also want the media to do some research and give fair coverage

    Why is Harden vs. Kyrie even a thing when it comes to the MVP award? Why is OKC seen as “the biggest threat to GS” and not Houston? There are still some in the media who say we don’t play defense and just want to outscore teams. Do some research...

    Championship. With Beadle being forced to give the trophy presentation interview. And Harden getting NBA finals MVP.

    Harden looks like M. Bison next to Dahlsim in that second photo.

    This is a stupid thread but I'm glad it was posted.
    Some people on here could use the perspective.

    What's wrong about demanding respect for our team which is playing well?

    What's wrong about wanting Harden to win MVP finally because he simply DESERVES it?

    What's wrong with standing up for OUR guys on OUR team?

    What would we talk about over the whole season? Injury threads and Game Action threads?
    If you don't want to talk about all that stuff, fine your decision, but stop acting like people who care about accolades are dumb or don't want a championship for the rockets

    From who? TV personalities? Fans from other teams? Fans from other countries? Fans on Instagram? Fans on Twitter?

    There is no end to your quest

    There is no such thing as enough respect

    Especially for those who do not care about your team

    Especially those who get paid to yell and make things controversial to get ratings which helps them get paid

    I wouldn't care if Stephen A. Smith was just a casual guy who no one listens to. Some people think that everything this guy says is the absolute truth and it pisses me off. Whenever i see any article/facebook post or whatever about harden - the first thing i read is "yo but what about his defense? and no tripplpeeee dubbllele" and that pisses me off.

    Everyone wants recognition if he deserves it and the rockets, aswell as harden has deserved it.

    Btw - the tv personalities are the guys that declare the MVP and ultimately define your legacy and as rockets fans we should want harden to get his.
