    I’ll take every player on this squad over Hakeem for Sunday’s game. We don’t need retired Rockets to win, we need Tuck and CP and Beard and The Fresh Prince and Athreeza and Smash Gordon and Clint Capellicopter and ISO Joe and Greenlight and Ryno to win this for us. Hakeem was great but even Hakeem is on our bus right now. Join the team or miss out on something truly great that even Hakeem wishes he was a bigger part of. This is all about H Town!!!!!

    Let's not get carried away.

    We have a Ryan Anderson on this squad.

    Took me about 20 seconds to realize that wasn't Tucker.

    Yeah because Hakeem at 55 is a top 100 player in the world? Should the sixers sign dr j too?

    There should be a balance between respecting legendary Ex players and giving credit to current players.

    That said, I prefer Hakeem's role players but I would put another Allstar like CP3 on Hakeem's team.

    The sentiment is great, we should all get behind the current team.

    Why not?

    Cant get any worse than down 0-3 in the series.

    You sound like someone that discriminates employees based on age.

    30 teams.

    15 players per team

    450 players

    Tarik probably ranks 350

    Hakeem at 55 probably ranks 326

    Dr j was athleticism, Hakeem was smart fundamentals

    Solid statistical analysis. Well done.

    I have to say the margin of error for Tarik is probably around -5, +75.

    Fun Story: A few years ago my buddy called me to run at the Sugar land LA Fitness rec league because he was down a few players. I told him it would be tough because I was running in another league across town, but I would try to make it. When I got there, Hakeem was on my friend's team! Apparently, Hakeem just walked in and asked to play. I was told later that a guy on the team was telling Dream how to post up and where he wanted him in the post.

    /end story.

    Our team needs inspiration from Hakeem and Clyde. They should talk to them before every game. Go Houston Rockets!

    80's Dream was a Soviet Union experiment- ridiculously athletic. Unlike the Soviet Union, sometimes for a month he would CHOOSE not to have food. He was also a ******* sexual tyrannosaurus.

    Was he telling Hakeem where to post up to make it fair to the others? Like Keem was only allowed to post up within the center circle?

    It was second hand information that came after the game. But I would assume It was because he was an idiot and has no respect for legends of basketball. Hakeem can do whatever he wants.

    Hakeem being with the team has to inspire the Rockets, plus Hakeem can practice with the team.
