Just listened to Rockets assistant coach Jim Boylen on 610 and gave a update on the Rocket players. Eddie Griffin – Looks great and really has improved his inside game.... Jump hook , etc. And he has added 16 lbs from this time last year. ( I think that puts him at 236 !!! ) Steve Francis – very excited about the extension. Glen Rice – Weight looks good and Knee feels great. Mo T. – The guy just cant miss from 18 Ft. Yao Ming. – Same stuff ( they love him ) Boki – practiced for the first time yesterday since the surgery, a little stiff but looks good and runs the floor well. Cato - no mention of Cato.
Unless Cato starts throwing dumbells at teammates in the locker room, he will never disappoint me again. I'm just to darn happy.
Eddie Griffin will be the major arsenal of all the rosters if he can get his game. He is young, tall and had a shooting touch a of shooting guard. He will be one of the top forward in the league in years to come!
So predictable. Mo will come back next season and be as light as a feather, just you wait and see...(awaiting another sarcastic MoTay comment.)
Griffin already has a great outside game, with an improved low post game, he'll be tough. Just think if they can get Yao to play tough on the low post as well. The tandem of Yao and Griffin would be just as formidable as the Francis and Mobley tandem. Then it's clutch city time again baby! I agree, Rockets don't need Rashard anyways.
I think people are reading too much into things...if the Rockets were actually snubbing Cat, he would NOT be on huge billboards all over the city...I do hope that Cat will be a Rocket for years to come.
Front court tandem and back court tandem, and with Boki zooming around shooting sniper shots and dunking on people. Don't you get goose bumps thinking about that?
Boylen wasn't snubbing anyone, these players just were not brought up in the interview. P.S. We are going to ROCK this year !!!!
agreed. cat's a veteran of this team. he's not coming off any serious injury and people generally know what to expect of him. the people who get talked about are those who are rehabilitating, brand new, signing a max extension, etc.
Not to discredit Jim Boylen, but is this jump hook and inside game verifiable with anyone at the So. Cal. League games? All I can recall is that he played Gooden even and then got injured. LA's #1 Rocket Fan, anybody?
Griff is looking good, especially if he is 236. I hope what they say about his post moves is true becuase look out if he does have some moves
Samurai Jack is turning out to be Jimmy Olsen around here lately. Keep up the good work.. Go Rockets!!
Gator no disrespect intended, but I think The coachs know more about our players then some scrub at the game who thinks they know NBA talent!
