    I just saw it on Fox and was gonna post but you beat me to it.

    He was reevaluated and can play. This means we win most of our next 13 and could have won the last 2...

    Go Hakeem!!

    This would be great news if Hakeem is able to play, his inside presence and influence is what this team needs right now.

    I would be shocked,yet ecstatic.It would seem to say that it's not as serious as first thought...or perhaps Dream is demanding to play.If he's cleared by the Docs and plays then that means...he's hungry!Great news....Let's hear more.If this happens,then that mountain just got a lot easier to climb.

    Old School,

    Did they just now - like in the past few minutes - announce this? I just walked in the door, saw this post, and frantically searched FOX Sports (and a few other sites), and this is the most recent article I could find on him:

    http://www.foxsports.com/nba/home/nba_news.cfm?source=st&cont_id=52748

    Great article - lots of praise (called him the best big man ever), but I couldn't find anything about a return so soon. Did they just now report this?

    What happened, did the doctors misdiagnose the blood clot? Taking hin off coumadin?

    God, please let it be so!!!!

    It was just a little blurb on Fox 26 during a commecial break of one of their lame police chase shows. I'm sure they'll have more on their newscast.

    Fox 26 has by far the best sports crew in Houston. They always outscoop the other hacks in Houston.

    I really hope this isn't just a stupid ploy of getting Rockets fans to tune in for the news tonight.

    I'LL BE SO PISSED IF THIS ISN'T TRUE!!!

    Forget LHutz, Bob Rainey is by far the coolest poster in cc.net history!

    Total bs...tonights IS a good scoop but the majority of their "scoops" are insignificant and they blow them up to make them look bigger than they are.

    What sports crew is better?

    BTW most news groups do blow up their stories so ppl will watch. I don't know why you make it sound like Fox is worse than the other groups.

    Depends on what you mean by "better". I didn't say Fox was "worse" than the others just not as hot as you had said.

    Just aired. Dream is apparently going off the blood thinning drugs and wants to play on Tues (5 games after he went on the DL).

    Rockets have no comment.
