This is a lebron leak come on this is clear as day. He wants butler and butler wants CC so lebron is trying to manufacture a situation where playing with him is more attractive than playing with hardwn.

and you saw how long it took to be dispelled. lebron is a thirsty dude these days, so desperate to get the third super star that he knows he needs to truly contend.

Harden has made to the Finals & won an MVP, CP3 has neither

The MVP is a legit accomplishment he has up on Paul (CP3 should have been MVP the year Kobe won, but alas).

It’s disingenuous to credit Harden with a finals appearance in the context of a comparison to Paul. Harden was the 3rd best player on that team, arguably 4th (and OKC ultimately placed him 4th by choosing Ibaka over him when they had to make that choice). Chris Paul would have a lot of finals appearances and wins if he was ever on a team so good that he was the 3rd/4th best player.

It’s true. This morning at the daily “the collective media” breakfast, we discussed how much we all loved the Lakers and how could we affect some meaningful change in the league by making up a story out of thin air about the Rockets. Reputations be damned, it was our responsibility, as “the collective media”, to tear down a team in June.

We heard you the other times you've already posted this. I'm sure you're doing the same thing on the burning Clutch Fans right now

Don't worry Pinata, grandma will leave the nightlight on in the hallway for you tonight to keep the nightmares away

Are you saying the media doesnt favor coastal teams and Lebron?

Are you also saying the media doesnt put out totally false stories?

And if this wasn't about the Rockets, you wouldn't be giving two shits about the verity of the story and doing the same thing everyone else is doing

Maybe the Astros game can get going and you can get back to following something you know a thing or two about

No, I’m saying it’s not a media-wise conspiracy, you dolt.

Of course I'm thinking of this because I'm a Rockets fan. That doesnt mean I wouldn't care if false reporting occurs in other ways. But you're right I pay less attention to other teams that are not my own. How is that a slight against me?
