    I know Mobes didn't hit any key shots down near the end of the game, and he did miss some, but he diserves a lot of credit for this victory. It was the double teams on Cat of Atlanta that got Francis all those shots at the end. Mobes had 21pts and 6asts, which is not too shabby for coming off any injury that I thought slowed him down. He didn't take those stupid shots or have any costly TO's. I know half of you guys voted for Steve to have the ball at the end of the game, but lets remember who had the ball to start on the big Francis 3, thats right, Mobley!!
    It is obvious that Rudy wants to run the offense through Mobley at the end of the game. I trust Rudy's judgement [​IMG]

    Yupp - I'm all for Cat but he surprised me. (Having him on my fantasy team I benched him suspecting he would take some time to get back into it)

    But Cat and Cato got the comeback started, and Wink finished it of. 6 dishes for Cat and two turnover might not be the world, but it aint shabby.

    Btw Steve also had 6 dishes but he turned it over 7 times - but deserved MVP - I only hope he stops turning it over so much - last couple of games he have had a bad AS/TO ratio. [​IMG]

    Mobley is such and integral part to this team that he has been the difference maker.

    Mobley is the guy Francis needs to lean on when he is double teamed, needs a breather, needs a guy cutting through the lane, etc. etc.

    Without Mobley, seriously, we'd be fighting with the Bulls for the worst record in the league!!

    I don't think we'd be as bad as the Bulls. Maybe Shandon or Walt would step up their games if they had to. But, without Mobes, we'd prolly be under .500, imo.

    I was most impressed with Mobley on that one fast break where Francis kinda didn't know whether to dunk or to layup, and ended up missing the shot. Mobley was right there to drive it back home.

    How many other people would chase Francis down the court just in case he misses a fast break dunk? That's good hustle, Mobley.

    Now, about trying to dunk Shandon's layup after the foul was whistled ...
