Same here. He was probably one of, if not, THE biggest letdown in Rockets History. Btw, I was skeptical when we traded for Mac and gave away our 2 core guards. Not so sure if I'm an idiot for that... anyone can tell me?
in 84 we didnt go for that guy from carolina. what's his name? just kidding, im more than happy with Dream.
Who didn't think that?? I don't think we're all idiots for thinking that with such a strong lineup. We could've if Malone wasn't so cheap with the hugs and Stockton hitting that lucky shot.
There was that time that we could have traded Sampson to the Blazers for Drexler and their 2nd overall pick in 84; imagine Dream, Drexler and Jordan on the same team.
For thinking stevie francis was going to be our starting point guard, and being the piece to get us over the hump last year.
I actuallly had the fortune of asking Clyde Drexler about Oscar while leaving the game, before Clyde was an announcers. You can search the thread. I so wanted to ask Clyde "so has anyone asked you about Oscar resemblence to you." Clyde did not like the question.
You are all pretenders to the idiot crown. Not only was I a huge fan of Rodrick Rhodes, Sam Mack and Brent Price, but I'd spend the MLE on any of them today. Beat that for idiocy, "idiots."
After we lost to the Celtics in 1986, I thought we would have another shot at the title every year for the forseeable future. That Ralph and Akeem would be the centerpiece of a dynasty for at least the next decade. That we had the depth to back them up. That Bill Fitch would be the coach of the Rockets a long, long time. I was such an idiot.
Thinking Steve Francis would have been a beast with us. Stromile Swift, happened to everyone. Thinking Luther Head was a good player. Doubting the team when we were 6-11 in 2005, and under .500 this year.
I felt we made a mistake trading Mike James first time around, but learned from my mistake and felt relief when we let him go the second time....
oh yea, I'm an idiot for thinking the rox learned their lesson with francis the first time. he's that ex-girlfriend that was so hot and sweet (at times) but ultimately crazy. truth is you should stay away from that volatile b**** at all costs cause she's 30 and never been married for a reason! idiot for thinking a fat magic, playing power forward, would beat the rockets in round one of the playoffs. dream gracefully put the magicman to sleep. idiot for thinking san antonians would be good sports fans. they're horrible. they're spurs fans because its the only show in town and they are ultimately ignorant to all other teams. idiot for thinking mitchel wiggins couldn't play offense. (anyone else remember when he came back as a 18+ppg player?! dude was fierce!)
I think I was an idiot because I thought the fruit of the Yao-Mcgrady duo would be a championship and it never will.
Please trade one, the other, or both of their malingering @s$es before the rest of the league catches on.
