    How is Francis ever going to learn how to be clutch when Moochie is taking all the shots in overtime? FRANCIS should have the ball, not Moochie. If Steve is going to be the man, he needs to learn how now! Now Moochie's going to think he's the man like Mobley! Give it to Francis, damnit! It's his team!

    Must be a left-handed thing.

    Err TheFreak, wrong again. Who made the big assists with time running out of regulation and the second overtime?

    I don't believe Francis has to take the final shot... I think he has to have the ball in his hands to take the shot or create for a teammate, ala Kidd-Gugliotta.

    This one-on-one-passing-is-not-an-option crap with 20 seconds left on the clock isn't smart basketball. It's called MobleyBall, and it's the Rockets' buggy and quirky BETA product for isolations.

    The final product, by the way, was released last night -- it's called MoochieBall.

    Rudy did...it is called 24-High. And he has to assist Francis in learning to run it rather than waving it off for FrancisBall like he constantly does. Francis waves off 24-High, a lot. Rudy also has to assist the other guys to cut properly, so Francis can even do anything with it. And Mobley still runs 24-High better than Francis. Deal is, he runs 2-Shakes better than Francis, too.

    MobleyBall? It is called RudyBall. Love it or not, but don't presume Francis wants to run these pnr's over his own ISOs, more than Mobley does. Mobley does anything and everything Rudy asks.

    MobleyBall? hmmmmm, is that domain name taken?

    rudyball.com is!

    Damn Freak... we won the game, did u see it?

    I don't think that this will be the last overtime the Rockets will ever play. there will be plenty of opportunities for Francis to get the ball during crunch time.

    Moochie is the man, but I'm sure he understands that it's still Francis's team. I'm sure Francis wasn't thinking "Damn that should be me taking those shots!" while he was jumping on Moochie after the game...

    Geez Freak, I thought this was a joke when I read the title, but give the Rockets a break. Moochie was hot, Francis was definetely not, so Rudy went to the well.

    I was looking forward to not seeing any negative threads after this game... oh well

    Think about it like this, TheFreak:

    Negative threads by Freak in last 24 hours: 1
    Negative threads by ZRB in last 24 hours : 0

    For shame...

    And MoochieBall only works as a surprise Jack-n-the-Box. The real Jack isn't hidden in a box to spring on unsuspecting dolts. The real Jack can still surprise you when everyone in the house knows it is coming.

    btw all, the play where Mobley got the tying 3 was drawn up in the huddle. I saw it. He kept telling Francis, "It will work; It will work" Francis did not invent that assist, either. Rudy did!

    Umm... might want to know this is a joke guys. Freak has always been one of the logical ones to reply about how stupid some posters are being when saying Mobley is hindering Francis' development. All he's doing is trying to turn the tables and give some of those same posters now saying Mooch is unbelievable for making those shots a dose of their own medicine.

    Freak I hope it is sarcasm what you're saying.
    Too many people on this board must have Francis on their Fantasy team and want him jacking 40 shots every night.
    Francis was having a bad night shooting but he was helping in other ways (rebounds & assists).
    Great game for Stevie even when he's not shooting well. That is what I like to see out of him. Being effective getting others involved.

    I thought he was joking from reading the title, but the actual body of the post seemed all too serious to me... plus no smilies. [​IMG]

    How do you know this? Do you have proof? What if it is the last overtime the Rockets ever play? Francis is never going to learn how to take over the team in overtime! It's his team, and Moochie is hitting all the shots! Outrageous!

    You don't know that! Moochie might think it's his team now! You don't know what's inside Moochie's head! This is what happens when Francis isn't allowed to take over at the end of games! His growth is being r****ded in a big way!

    Again, you're not in his head! There could be a secret rift brewing here between Francis and Moochie that we don't know about! Now we have two other guys on the team, Mobley and Moochie, that think they're the man! They're not the man, Francis is the man! His growth is being stunted here, and all you people care about is that the Rockets won! Wake up! What's next, Mo thinking he's the man? We have a crisis on our hands, people! Francis cannot survive under these conditions!

    Pretty funny Freak,

    I would still take Francis over Mobley or Moochie, wouldn't you?
