Hakeem is getting senile.

The Rockets, even if they somehow got past Portland, and then the Spurs, would not have gotten past OKC - Ibaka or the Heat.

Given that he was one of the best defensive player of all time, and that his Rockets were great defensive teams, he would appreciate that end of the court a lot more. The current Rockets just does not play defense at all, and will always be a pretender team unless coaches hold Harden accountable on that end of the floor.

Speaking of coaching, McHale can have a team of Lebron, CP3, Durant, Dwight and Paul George, with Parker, Duncan, Ibaka and Curry coming off the bench and would still NOT win a championship, because he really does suck that much as a coach.

He's not senile...he's on the Rockets staff what the is he supposed to say?

He's right.... SA lucked out playing OKC w/out Ibaka and playing the first two rounds against scrub teams with no D. But hey..... every T le run needs a little bit of luck.

If that makes you feel better. OKC swept the Spurs 4-0 during the year as well, Ibaka is out yes but that team is still very good without him and Portland looked great the last few weeks of the season and the first round, they were not a pushover team. Spurs made them look very bad though.

I disagree. Hakeem would destroy the bulls. The bulls had problems stopping Ewing and rik smits. Hakeem would've murderd them.

If Hakeem could have gotten here a couple hundred years earlier, he'd be one plow pulling buck.
