It seems for the last handful of years, good or (mostly) bad, the Rockets had coverage. Mostly to reiterate/mock the struggles or Harden drama. Now even with a winning streak rolling, the only recent national talk I’ve seen was when it was in connection to LeBron and playing the Lakers.
Shout out to Chiney Ogwumike. She likes talking about the Rocket’s successes.
I dont understand the obsession of what the national media thinks. Rockets will do their thing and fans should only be concerned with the local media and their fellow fans. That’s just me though.
I rarely watch national media even when they talk about us. They don’t watch us anyway. Their takes are casual and lacks all context and often flat out wrong. I have no interest in bad and uninformed takes about the Rockets. I get my fix by listening to podcasts and YouTubers by fans or journalists who actually watch our games.
There’s a brilliant break down of our season so far on this YouTube channel called All NBA Podcast. It’s about an hour long and they spent 45 mins talking about our team, Sengun, Udoka etc.
