Rockets’ Social Media Looks Childish With Harden Post
Houston Rockets are not a team that goes quietly into the night. Remember, this is the same team that gave the NBA a multiple page document explaining why they were wronged in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals. They do not know how to accept things graciously. Therefore, I shouldn’t be surprised at the pathetic tweet they came out with after Giannis Antetokounmpo won the award. Instead of talking about Harden’s second-place finish, they used the platform to say why Harden still deserved it even though he only got 23 first-place votes to Giannis’ 78. Houston’s new media should be fucking embarrassed this morning.
Congrats to the new MVP, but we respectfully disagree.

These team account should build their players up. I’m never going to dispute that. The person or people running the account are paid by the team. That being said, they’re still representatives of the organization. This looks immature and appears that Houston is throwing a temper tantrum that Harden did not win MVP. It’s truly ridiculous. Is this what teams will do when their guys do not win? Throw a shit fit on social media after the fact and give all of these reasons why he deserved it. Everyone knows the fucking stats, and at the end of the day, that did not matter to the voters who decided they liked Giannis’ season much better than The Beard.
The other part of this for Houston which they’re clueless about is no one likes them. They’re the person in high school or college who tries way too hard to fit in with the crowd. It almost never works to be that person. Houston wants to be loved by media, coaches, and fans across the country, yet no one who actually likes basketball enjoys when the Rockets are on primetime. Hopefully, they go away sooner rather than later.
