    The retro Hakeem we've been seeing is really awesome. Shows that a good low-post player CAN fit in with our offense - that should help in attracting a big name player to this team.

    My question is, does this make it more likely that Houston keeps Olajuwon through the end of the season, or less? All of a sudden he's fitting in well, and helping us make a late run to the playoffs. But doesn't it also make him look more attractive to other teams, who might want to trade for him before the deadline?

    Personally I think we are better team than both Pheonix and Dalls. But one thing you are not factoring is the schedule. Both Pheonix and Dallas have a brutal schedule starting in March thru the end of the season. Houston's schedule is on of the easiest in the West from now thru the end of the season.

    It's great to see Dream healthy and with a defined role.Rudy seems to be honing in on just how to use him and for how long.The real test comes against the West because of the lack of big men in the East.If he keeps it up there then I'll be even more shocked and ecstatic than now...I think we'll make the playoffs and yes,his trade value is enhanced tremendously.If we could get him to reup for a couple mil and add Webber to the cast,then we are title contenders...Go Dream Go!
