    Does this mean people actually have to form their own opinions instead of posting the ones who get paid millions of dollars to do so?

    Clutchfans is better when Clutchfans have opinions and are not spam bots for hot take shows

    If a tree falls in the forest, does it happen because it did happen?
    or it only happens if Stephen A Smith yells "LORD HAVE MERCY THIS TREE FELL MAX KELLERMAN!

    To be fair, I think the majority of CFers who post those threads actively disagree with the video's content, which is usually bashing the Rockets / Harden, in some way, shape or form.

    So technically, isn't that forming their own opinions? That the hot take views are, in fact, terrible?

    It's every day and every show
    they are failing to understand why these shows are created in the first place
    and why Stephen A Smith and Max Kellerman are multimillionaires

    They don't understand that it doesn't matter if they are right or wrong, it only matters if people watch them

    The newbs have turn Clutchfans into an insecure ESPN addicts message board

    that show is about the NBA only

    max and Stephen a smith discuss every sport , so they can build a bigger audience of suckers

    and TNT is only on a few times a week

    Hot take shows are every day

    they need to make topics every day to get attention

    I don’t mind when people bring SAS or Kman to the table. It gets people to express/discuss/debate different opinions regarding our Rockets! I think Clutch knows this and my guess is that he approves it....

    (P.S.) Both of them oftentimes get on my nerves doe!! :confused:

    Clutch is clearly pointing out that Stephen A just talks cause his facts are wrong

    You are pointing out the obvious. Let me point out another obvious, Clutch himself posted something from espn. Maybe he wanted to be da last person to post something from espn before he bans them?? Yes-No?? o_O

    Peace & love my non 03’er brother...;)

    Man you are bored

    You know what's going on in the GARM?

    That EVERYTHING from these shows are being posted. That's the issue.

    Man of tin, YOU are aware and I’M aware of what’s going on in the GARM. Do you think Clutch is not aware of what’s going on in his playground? o_O

    It’s pretty obvious from the title what the thread is going to be about, it’s not like Clutch has to read every post, or depend on posters to PM him on what’s being posted. If he truly wants to curtail the ammount of threads/posts from SAS and ESPN he would’ve done it by now.

    My suggestion to you, if you’re truly annoyed by the ammount of SAS/ESPN content, perhaps you should start a “In this thread no ..... is allowed” and you could chastise the posters who don’t want to respect your thread.

    FYI... I’m not bored! I’m living da “Vida Loca” homie...;)

    This is a bigger issue of society getting dumber

    This is like believing wrestling is real and that Hulk Hogan and Roddy Piper really hate each other

    They don't

    They just keep this act up for entertainment


    But Rockets fans being outraged that Stephen A was yelling stuff about their team is reacting to Stone Cold Steve Austin being hit by a chair by the Undertaker

    SAS, Clown Kellerman, and other media fools say a bunch of dumb sh*t, and then countless causal fans believe it and start to speak it as truth

    sorry, but it’s a problem when national shows are handing out misinformation about Harden and the Rockets left and right

    your Steve Austin example does not apply to this situation

    The rockets won two titles and the media discredits them by never mentioning them when they talk about champions
    And worse repeated say Jordan didn’t play. And he did play in 95. The magic beating the bulls them was the worst thing to happen to the 90s titles.

    Hakeem never gets mentioned. The only time is when LeBron or Kobe wants to train with him.
    Or Embiid says he’s his hero.

    Even the Spurs who won a bunch of titles , LeBron is the bigger story .

    The media will always pander to the teams or players that make them money . Fortunately Harden sells Adidas not Etonic
