    Lmao OP it's New Years. Why are you spending it b****ing about something so miniscule? Not to mention it's the top story 20 mins later.

    The Knicks broadcast was really impartial and complimentary towards Harden. I may watch the Rockets' broadcast if I can, too, but Frazier, and I guess it's Breen, on the Knicks' broadcast was a pretty awesome watch. I couldn't tell if it was a Knicks or Rockets broadcast. lol.

    I'll watch a game on their network. But dammit if I sit around waiting for their screwed opinions, on what they pretend to call sports coverage news.

    However I won't criticize y'all who do want to care how they cover Houston teams. Hey I was young once and cared what they said. Up until you mature and realize they are a business, they build a narrative to sell not only to the nation but to the world. They have billions of dollars invested and at stake. Think of it like WWE.

    But look at teams like the Spurs who took their titles and crowned themselves the best In the NBA regardless of media bias. Don't whine and cry about it, and don't leave it to the talking heads and the objects of their affections.

    Dominate them, take those titles from them. Don't leave it to the refs. Run the other team out of the building.

    It's literally been years since I tuned into a sports center telecast. Soon everyone figures it out.....

    The narrative has already flipped IMO. Whereas commentators and fans openly hissed angrily when watching harden draw fouls, they now chuckle and shrug their shoulders while calling him "crafty". It's been great to see this season.

    The big game was a turning point for Harden like it was Curry in 2015

    Fans of other teams usually just repeat wherever they read before, over and over.
