Calling all cars. Calling all cars. I am in dire need of photos of Otis Thorpe when he was a Houston Rocket. I would like to use them for my Rocket web page. When OT played here he was my second favorite Rocket after Hakeem. And, much of the time I knew Hakeem would produce, so I spent most of my time rooting for big OT and I really enjoyed the time he spent as a Rocket. One of my saddest moments in my life as a Rocket fan was the day I heard that we had traded OT for Drexler. I was crushed. I also couldn't understand why the Trail Blazers wanted another PF when they had like 5 of them on their roster. Also, OT didn't start much when he got there and was sometimes the 3rd PF in the game. Of course, I was happy that we had gotten Clyde, but dammit, why didn't we trade someone else? Someone that Portland could actually use? Someone like Vernon Maxwell? Oh well, it's all water under the bridge and we did get our 2nd NBA championship out of it. That lessened the sting of losing one of my all-time favorite Rockets, but I still miss him. ------------------ I have a dream.........his name's Hakeem.
