I HATE D-I-T for Hakeem just some of you. But don't let that fool you of on Hakeem's ball skill. If I were Rudy who is getting paid millions a year, I would try to be a man and tell Dream: "Set picks, Block shots, and Shoot open mid range jumpers only, don't pretend to be MJ". Then, he will suddenly shine again. Thus Rockets will be on the winning side again. As long as Rudy treat coaching like politics, he will keep letting Hakeem's stuborness to dominate the team, once he comes back. ------------------ Rockets' biggest problem is not player talent levels, it is the coach's ineptitude.
D-I-T=dump it to Hakemm or Chuck first then wait to shoot threes. ------------------ Rockets' biggest problem is not player talent levels, it is the coach's ineptitude.
Caveman, What place if any do you see the post up offense taking during games? Are you completely opposed to it, or just when certain players are in the game? I for one have no problem with Hakeem in the post as long as Barkley is on the pine. With both of those guys in there is too much blockage in the lane to let our players play their games. I agree with you about Hakeem. I know that Hakeem used to embarrass David Robinson, but the Admiral has evolved and stepped aside to let the team thrive. Maybe if Hakeem does the same he'll get another ring before he retires.
