It’s been well-documented that ESPN and the national media have a bias against the Houston Rockets and especially James Harden. During ESPN’s preseason rankings, they picked the Rockets to be the team with the most turmoil, in addition to picking the Rockets as the sixth-most likely team to win the title. To put that into perspective, the network predicted the Golden State Warriors to have a better season than the Rockets this year, which is laughable considering the Warriors’ 4-18 record thus far this year (although the Curry injury certainly attributes to that).
