Hello my friends! Haven't posted in a while so I decided to start a thread. So here we go. For all of us who were concerned about Collier, I think it's time to concede that Rudy made a decent selection. He may not have a good post game, but he sure can set picks on the perimeter. I also think that between him and Thomas we have a damn good passing frontcourt. It's also been nice to see Hakeem contribute as we all hoped he could. I was looking forward to seeing Cato this year but now I hope he gets traded before he makes it back from his hang nail or whatever it is that has kept him out. My choice would be to ship him off to New York, Miami, or Phoenix. Maybe they would be willing to give up some decent picks for the leagues future rebounding leader. Maurice has had his moments and I think he'll get on a roll by midseason so I'll cut him some slack on his crap defense. I was looking forward to seeing Carlos contribute this year after his strong preseason, but for some reason Rudy just forgets about him. Does anyone else think that's wierd? Now on to the little guys... Steve has looked a little tentative this year. Sometimes it looks like he can't get past his defender and that worries me. Maybe he just needs to get into the flow of things. Mobley has looked good but I think that the iso's that he runs are having an adverse effect on the Rockets total offense. Maybe Heypee can set me straight on this. Moochie looks good and the fro is killin' me. I can't say anything about Shan because he lost his mom and that's a pain I hope I never know. I know he'll get it straight before too long (Peace Shan). Walt is doing Popeye a favor with his disappearing act. Dan the Man is going to have to pay DaDakota back all the money he's lost in the fantasy leagues. Maybe he'll pull a KT and have a strong second half of his rookie season. I apologize for the rambling useless thread but I've been trapped in LA for the past 3 weeks and all I have is a dial-up connection in my hotel room. On the bright side I was at Staples on Sunday night. PS, did I mention we should trade Cato right now. ------------------ "Stranger things have happened, but none stranger than this" - Commentator after a parachutist landed in the ring of a Holyfield fight
