Did any of you see Hakeem get stuffed by the rim attempting a dunk in LA against the Clippers? I couldn't take seeing and hearing the crowd laughing and jeering at Hakeem. It fogged my memory of the real Dream for longer than I'd like to admit. If Dream puts himself in an embarrasing situation like that again I'll jump off Galvestons seawall before the next full moon. Damn you Dream, just concentrate on defense. Oh yeah....Awooooooooooo! ------------------ [This message has been edited by ROCKETBOOSTER (edited November 07, 2000).]
Laughing and Jeering? Really? At Hakeem? Oh well then, let's just pack it all up and say goodbye... LOL. As much as I doubt his true current abilities, I for one will NEVER abandon hope for Dream. Ever seen/met the man? He projects a true presence that can only be felt. (I've tried to convince one of his reps to open a bar downtown - it would really help the rebuilding project - but Hakeem would have none of that. If nothing else, the man's character is certainly unassailable. Muslims do not drink, and that is not negotiable where property is in question) ------------------
I wouldn't worry about Clippers fans laughing at dream. They've got enough problems of their own- like winning 25+ games. ------------------ "Oh No..." -Bill Walton in 97 just before Stockton's buzzer beater
Judging from the start of the season, we have that same problem. ------------------ My dream job is to be a Houston Rockets towel boy.
..and so do Portland (1-3) and Seattle (1-3). I wouldn't place any playoff bets based on the first 4 games of the season. ------------------
Boy, I will be mad if the Blazers or Sonics get more ping pong balls then us in the lottery, since we are headed that way too, ya know, due to our first four games and all, and being only 1-3. What a wasted season....why do the Rockets even show up and dress for these games? They would do better to just practice, rest a little, you know - get a little R&R, and maybe scour the European pro leagues for some good players....you know since we are 1-3 and all. It just seems like a waste of time to even play. We are battling for a .500 record with only 78 games to go....this sucks! (100% sarcasm, if you didn't know) ------------------ There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
I saw this self blocking dunk and I hope that Dream just misjudged and screwed up that dunk. Don't tell me he can't dunk the ball any more...that is BS! It was embarrassing and it did cost us the game. Of course, any of those missed layups cost us the game as well. Surf ------------------
