    First Hakeem got posterized by TMAC, he should have just gotten the hell out of the way on that play, then on the last play he did not foul he just sort of got posterized!

    Hakeem is better then this on defense!

    I saw Hakeem running away from Carter the last play as if he was afraid to be in the same picture.

    Rockets' biggest problem is not player talent levels, it is the coach's ineptitude.

    You know what, Dream's been posterized his whole career. Remember the KJ dunk in 1994 (or 1995?)? He just doesn't run to get out of the way like everyone else does, even though he should sometimes.

    ------------------
    Is it any coincidence that we are the only team mentioned in the national anthem?

    I didn't think so!

    Yea, I remember K.J. and that dunk...
    WOW! K.J. is 6'2" and could elevate like
    Francis on occasion which made it seem like
    he just kept going up,but what NBA player
    hasn't been posterized in their career?

    Yeah I'm Sure KJ still has nightmares of that vintage Hakeem Block.... That was probably one of the best ever..

    Hakeem Just doesnt have the drive because we're out of the running..but next year he will when we have a chance...

    Sure he will... sure he will... keep the faith boys. Hakeem will be an All-Star again next year. He just needed a year off; just saving it up for next year. Now if you don't mind, I'm gonna go look at those lottery probabilities again.

    Here is a animated gif of KJ Posterizing Hakeem, as Marv Albret would say...

    Francis23: posterizing or pasteurizing? KJ extended his arm right into Hakeem's face. Don't tell me that isn't an offensive foul. That is the all-star game so they shouldn't call any foul.

    L HUTZ What you talking about All-Star Game this was the NBA Western Conference Finals from 94. And KJ Brought his arm up but as you can see in the gif he clearly did not use it as he slammed, bam in a split second Hakeem Posterized. You know Who has been posterized the most in there career, none other then David "Dont Call me Soft" Robinson, he's a great shot blocker but he just doesnt know when to say no.

    What do you guys think was the biggest posterizing in history?

    Even though i don't like him no more i have to go with Scottie Quitten's dunk in 94 in Patrick Ewing's face, he took off and Pat was waiting for him but, Quitten Elevated and threw it down, then Let Pat know about it.

    Hakeem has put it on others far more that on to him.
    KJ may have gotten a dunk, but the ROCKETS won the series. Thanks to DREAM.

    We would like to get rookie Francis on the break for some easy scoops in the first quarter...

    I'm sorry, I was sleepy when I viewed it. It resembled the All-Star uniforms to my tired eyes. Regardless of touching him or not, it was an offensive foul. He used that hand to put fend Hakeem off. Remember that game the other night? They called an offensive foul on Francis when he took it to the hole and he didn't touch anybody. They called it just because he put his hand up.

    It is an animated gif i didn't create it but i linked it from another site. Its easy to create one you use the animation wizard in paintshop pro.

    And LHutz, the KJ hand off was a questionable call but i just think it was not a foul, but my boy stevie francis was fouled yesterday.

    Even though I don't like him, that John Starks dunk over MJ was pretty sweet.

    You know, it's interesting...

    I think what is forgotten is that when KJ dunked over Hakeem the game was already decided and it was almost over. Hakeem didnt care...he was going to the finals!
    But that full court block on Hakeem Had on KJ was when it counted

    LHutz This is what I was referring to:

    "Remember that game the other night? They called an offensive foul on Francis when he took it to the hole and he didn't touch anybody. They called it just because he put his hand up."

    I meant i agreed with you.
