He's right that the rockets would have been a tougher matchup for us than the Blazers. He's wrong that it would have made any difference or that Houston is somehow a championship caliber team. No McHale coached team will ever seriously contend.

I don't believe he really thinks this, I think he said this just for the fans. I have plenty of rockets friends and they have been saying this for weeks. Lakers fans can be delusional, but these guys are competing with them.

And MJ did him a favor as well
Move on !
Portland did Houston the favor. Rockets would have been swept.
Rockets would have been a tougher matchup. But it's not our fault Harden got shut down by one of the worst defensive teams in the playoffs tbh.
D-Rob's daddy droppin truth bombs tbqh
Hakeem knows a thing or two about favors, the gift basket he sends to the Starks family every year is really extravagant.
Ok. Don't care. Rockets lost in the first round. Irrelevant.
He should be bowing down to Jordan's feet every time he see him, especially if you are calling out teams doing other teams favor. Hakeem is one of the last people on earth that should be making such statements.
You cannot judge the Rockets team based upon just being out in the first round. I think they are a better team. I think they just played the wrong team.played the wrong team? this is the playoffs, there is no right or wrong team, you play who you play.
ahahaha
rockets would've been 4-1'd too
He's fluffing the Houston media and Howard's ego.
Umm... pretty sure to get to the next round you have to beat the team in front of you. Houston didn't do that. If the Spurs can thank anyone, its the Mavs.
So because Houston wasn't good enough to get out of the first round, it's the Spurs who are fortunate b/c of this? Awesome logic Hakeem.
I don't believe the Blazers did us a favor. I believe the Clippers did. They knocked out Ibaka, a Spur killer.
lol someone does us a favor every year...go trade for kevin love or something and shoot another 3...
if he believes that, let him have it. He knows regular season don't mean . Just talking out of his ass.
Love the dream, fellow Muslim and all but I disagree. They lost for a reason. I know they match up well during the season and swept us but mia. Vs Brooklyn and this series just go to show the playoffs is totally different.
thanks blazers!
rockets, blazers...now shut the up, we have some work to do!
his tears are delicious
If I could've, would've, should've" that's what folks always say.......Thanks for the favor Rockettes.....We'll need the rest to get NUMBER FIVE!
sounds like a crying to me. b-b-b-but if only we didn't have to play the team we drew in the playoffs. not how it works mate
Rockets fans were literally in awe at how easily we dismantled Portland.
