The Rockets could have just stayed silent.
Instead, the team's Twitter account decided it just had to say something after Giannis Antetokounmpo was named the league's MVP Monday night at the NBA Awards.
This marked the third time in the last five years in which it could be argued Harden was robbed of the award with the others coming in 2015 when Stephen Curry captured his first of back-to-back MVPs and in 2017 when Russell Westbrook won the honor.
But that doesn't mean the team had to open its mouth. It doesn't mean they should avoid congratulating Giannis by name.
