Bill Worrell says Dream was asked to play tonight in Denver...Dream declined.

That kind of pisses me off too, but it is DENVER. He needs all the air he can get for tomorrow.

Hakeem has always had trouble playing in the high altitude. I would have loved for him to play, but I can understand why he didn't. That thin air really gets to him.

------------------
"Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning how to put food on their family while being put to death."

 

Man, this is such ugly situation but since my take really isn't wholly original, I'll keep this short (and attempt to hold my temper in check, no promises ).

Hakeem has been spouting off about how healthy he is and how he's just wants to contribute -- so why isn't he out there contributing? It seems to me a man so dead set on proving how he still has it would be licking his chops at such opportunity.

If Hakeem is loyal, he sure has a funny way of showing it.

------------------
It doesn't matter if I have a signature!

 

IF Dream really said that, and if it wasn't because of the rarified air (which I'm starting to doubt), then I'm getting fed up with Dream. If he is doing this to "prove a point" then he is a cancer and we don't need a cancer on this team. It is hard enough as it is to win with a depleted frontcourt.

Rocket fans UNITE to bring Pig Miller back home! WE NEED PIG! OINK! OINK! OINK!

 

Yeah, forget what I said. I would have loved to have had Hakeem shutting down Mr. Stiff at the end. I can't believe that git hit that shot. Still, the Rockets should have realized that the guy has range. Oh well, the Rockets are just natural born losers.

Hakeem should have travel to Denver to:

1) Sit on the bench
2) Watch Mobley continue to get ISOs while going 5-20
3) Call a reporter to announce the lack of ball movement in the 4th quarter.

------------------
Respect Hakeem's legacy. A championship in the hand is worth two in the bush!!

 

We give up the chance to land T-mac & company and then he shows no loyalty, by not even playing.
It's a sad, sad day in Houston.

------------------
Chimmey chimmey what!!

 

was t-mac included in that deal ?

Someone look up Hakeem's lifetime stats in Denver. I'm sure they aren't shabby, considering Dikembe guarded him for alot of the games.

This ****'s getting old, ZRB. A fan has every right to complain about loses, but you have gone past complaining and begun insulting my favorite team. I won't sit silent for this. Shut the f*** up if you can't control yourself.

I read on some online NBA publication that he was discussed, but I really can't imagine this to be true. Was there no other team that could come up with a better package? Or did the Raptors really think they could retain him?

Anyway, the AP article only mentioned Willis, Christie, and the #5, #12 picks.

Behad- If you aren't happy with my opinions, don't reply to my posts. I have every right to express my opinions. Obviously you must have doubts about the Rockets yourself. If you were confident that the Rockets were not losers, why did you get so angry?

"Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning how to put food on their family while being put to death."

 

That sounded like a good deal then, it sounds unreal right now.

I know you guys don't like polls, but with hindsight, how many of you believe we should've traded Hakeem ? Hakeem has always been my favorite player, but I said yes then, and the way things are going, it looks like alot of us were right.

Because I get angry when someone goes over the line, which you have tonight. The Rockets are in a down year. It happens. You can't turn a team around this fast. But to call the "natural born losers" is insulting, and I won't let someone get away with it without responding.

Clippers....their owner is a loser, thus the team loses.

Houston Oilers.....a history of losing.

But the Rockets have been to the Finals 4 times, winning 2 of them. Sure, they have their issues now, like no front court to speak of, but they are trying. Rudy is trying. If it continues, then Les will make a change. But to insult them because they haven't already won the championship by January is stupid.

If you dislike the Rockets so much that you would call them losers, then get the f*** on someone else's bandwagon.

You are going over the line by getting so angry at this. Why the hell should you care what someone halfway across the country writes on the internet. I did not insult you. I insulted the Rockets. I have every right to say that the Rockets are a bunch of worthless morons that couldn't play pro ball if they were paid millions to do it, which they are. I can call them losers, I can call them winners. I can call them whatever I want. Its called, "free speech".

So does this mean I have the right to call you a bandwagonner? Because this is how you are acting. Like a fair weather fan who "can't take it anymore" when things go bad? Isn't that the definition of a bandwagonner? What do you care?

Aren't you going over the line getting angry at this? What do you care what someone halfway across the country says on the internet?
