    Not sure if anyone saw NBA countdown but ESPN took yet another opportunity to bash the Rockets, mentioning the Lil B curse, the Kardashian curse, had a video hughlighting James not playing defense, had a list of all the coaches Dwight has gone through and went around the table saying how the Rockets will NEVER win anything.

    I cringed watching TMAC chime in.

    Damn, Murph slamming Steven A on the Rox pregame show. Don't come into Murph's backyard with your unsourced presumptious national talking points.

    I thought what they said is accurate. They said the Rockets poor start is all on the players.

    actually agree with this

    More from Rose on Harden: “You know what happens when your best guy doesn’t compete defensively? You can’t hold the other guys accountable.”

    WTF has Dwight done to deserve criticism in this situation? It speaks to lazy journalism.

    They get to the desk:

    "Is Dwight bashing still a thing?"

    "It is here!"

    "Cool."

    This can't be anything but good.

    If I'm Howard and Harden and I have even an OUNCE of pride, I take this as motivation to prove them wrong.

    Either that or just collapse into the fetal position and whine about being traded.

    In any case, the way forward will be made clear for the Houston Rockets org.

    All this is warranted.

    You wanted media coverage, you got it.
