Its quite shocking to see such ubiquitous proliferation all over social media/internet of the new mainstream sports media narrative about the rockets and their winning streak:
“Can Sengun and Jalen Green work?”
“Has Sengun held Jalen Green back all this time?”
“Do the rockets have to choose one and trade the other?”
Dear Patrick, Tillman and the rest of the Fertitta family,
if you see this,
DONT FALL FOR IT.
They (nba ruling class) are scared. They realize the rockets are creating a monster core and they want it broken apart because the rockets are not following the script…
Script says this year rockets should only be “developing” this year and by god, adam silver and company have already written the script out this year: Steph vs Lebron in the play in. Why are the rockets trying to mess that up?
“WAIT YOUR TURN”
Its not just mainstream sports media, ITS HOUSTON MEDIA AND HOUSTON ROCKETS FANS falling for the bait and have started the narrative that sengun’s been holding back green all this time and that eventually, they will have to trade one or the other in order for either to fulfill their true potential….
Its pure chaos programming meant to influence rockets ownership to disperse a lot of these talented players the rockets have started to accumulate. I see this all the time being implemented in non sports situations but ive seen an uptick with this in sports due to sports blogs, message board forums, all these locked on, sportsmap, sbnation sites/social media channels that cover all american sports team. Its not just politics that have these false narrative programming in order to “instigate/influence action” that the powers that be want.
This happens all the time in sports from trying to influence organizations on how drafts SHOULD GO (you must draft this guy because we have projected them this way, if you deviate, you are on the hook if the draft pick fails) to trying to influence a trade by inflating a guy’s value through media (most shameless and blatant example i can remember was espn promoting KYLE LOWRY IS THE GREATEST TORONTO RAPTOR IN HISTORY when the raptors were trying to trade him) or punish someone for some perceived infraction (sterling mess, pick any draymond incident, any cases of perceived racism)….i can make an entire subreddit on this issue alone.
Its not even a conspiracy theory at this point…
Far too much evidence.
Do i need to reference r nba threads that show how blatant and shameless the nba refs have been in favoring the lakers just this year alone?
r nba has pretty much scientifically proven it especially that thread about how the lakers get so much free throws despite them being ranked so low in terms of driving to the hoop.
Let’s not forget the in season tournament where the clippers and lakers were in danger of being knocked off quite early and of course, the rockets came to town trying “change the script” that silver and his cronies have written out….and what happened during those games this year? The clipper game were harden hit the game winner was particularly egregious, the absurd calls the rockets got shafted all over that game…Rockets kept having double digit leads only for it to be erased with the whistle…then it turned the other way, clippers started getting double digit leads only for the rockets to keep whittling it down to single possession ready to get the lead only for….the whistle to make sure the script stays true.
You see it with the winning streak alone. NBA trying their best to end the streak and “help” secure the lebron vs steph play in. What was the free throw totals just before halftime vs okc? it was like 12-1 or 13-0 or something?
Heck, go see the boxscores for nearly all laker games during this winning streak. Anybody catch that bucks lakers game? Double OT?
PLUS NO LEBRON?
Laker Free throws: 30-32
Bucks? 11-17
That’s with dame, middleton AND GIANNIS PLAYING!!!!

LOL.
Go see the boxscore and the lakers starting line up free throw attempts. talk about LOL.
and it hasnt stop. i dont even want to think about what the refs are doing for the warriors because that will just trigger harden playoff era ptsd…
and this isnt just some trivial inconsequential fan gripe, CURRENT RICH AND FAMOUS ACTIVE NBA PLAYERS are sick and tired of the corruption. Do i need to bring up rudy goebert and ant edward’s frustrations and the fines they have occured for daring to speak on the shameless disgusting actions of referees????
This isnt some deluded fan thing or some upset nba player millionaire complaining because he didnt like a call that lost them the game. We have ACTIVE NBA coaches and front office guys CALLING OUT THE SHADY REFEREEING we are seeing just this season alone!!!!
BEWARE OF SUBVERSIVIE INFILITRATORS
This is happening more and more lately. POSTERS FROM OTHER ORGANIZATIONS coming in and trying to influence the fanbase and eventually the ownership of the team to certain narratives and forcing moves that cause chaos and damage to the team. This sengun green false narrative epitomizes it.
Forget about the fact that its been a small sample size, forget about the fact that the rockets havent really played and beaten a great team during this streak, forget about the fact that jalen and sengun are complete opposites positionally and style wise and that when you start playing better teams, the rockets talent shortage will come into play, forget the fact that the rockets are missing multiple integral pieces like cam whitmore and tari eason….
forget the fact that alip started out playing in a more organized and competitive league in europe and that jalen’s development was held back due to AAU and ignite deficiencies and that it wasnt sengun holding jalen back but jalen himself (should we take back all the dad buff, draya did it, jalen himself said his new baby has been an important aspect of his third year leap, said on camera to vanessa richardson after the road win vs the wizards….
There is a concerted effort by mainstream sports media to break up the rockets core because they need talent dispersed to rest of the nba and they need to start feeding the coastal elite teams who are getting old. Mainstream sports media have always despised southern non coastal liberal/progressive states when they win. Especially if they dont have a mainstream nike star like lebron or jodran or kobe.
DONT FALL FOR IT FERTITTA FAMILY.
DONT FALL FOR IT RAFAEL STONE.
It almost happened with jalen green to nets for mikal. the sports blogs, and mainstream sports media almost made that happen….

Bummer.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, so go ahead and down vote, it doesn’t affect me.
Sengun is not the guy. He slows us down. He is not a dominate big and can’t shoot. Often times, he doesn’t look to move the ball around, instead he wants to take the shot or drive to the basket. Yes he makes some but this offense is more explosive and is unstoppable when he isn’t out there. I never like the pick and I’ve said he looks sloppy on the court. I believe Adams will eventually become the starter over him, if healthy
This is how modern media works now. It’s all about clicks. Houston is a big market so when you write controversial things it’s gets lots of clicks. It’s not a conspiracy. It’s greed.
So the rockets didnt try to trade Jalen Green for Bridges?
It’s not an agenda.
Media are just bored and looking for drama to stir. There is no masterplan here.
🚨🚨🚨🚨
You are feeding into this cycle by making posts like this.
I ain’t reading all that. I’m happy for you though, or sorry that happened
Good Lord bro you just typed out a dissertation
Ubiquitous indeed
No idea if its the NBA….but there certainly is on /r/Rockets
It’s just the media being clickbait whores. It’s not a concerted effort, but they’re following what drives clicks. And they’ll continue to do so until they see no more marginal benefit.
Sports fandom is truly devolving into political discussion. Everything you read is a conspiracy. Everyone who doesn’t share your opinion has an agenda. The only people on your side are those who fully believe all the things you believe. You must be 100% positive or you are doubting the grand plan and therefore must be trying to sabotage this grand plan. If things go badly it must be the fault of fans who didn’t believe enough in the team and the player and caused their downfall. If things go well it’s cause I’ve always believed and I trusted him and my trust was rewarded.
I’m not even criticizing anyone, just find this very funny.
How much Adderall did you take before writing this essay?
“The media”
With the media being posts on reddit and Twitter. Mainstream media doesn’t give a damn about the Rockets.
And if you think people asking if a core will work is a way to destroy it, then you’re an idiot.
Unhinged lol
