    Shandn Andersn disease

    Our whole team has it.

    That dude would fit right in with this current bunch we put on the floor night in/night out.

    On the way to work I was thinking about another disease this team has, "The Oilers, non of our free agents pan out disease"

    Exemplified by Wilbur Marshall, Mel Gray, Yancey Thigpen, and Carl Pickens.

    The Oilers left traces of the plague here and it has now affected the Rockets, starting with

    Shandon Anderson, Glenn Rice, Jim Jackson, Kelvin Cato, Piatowski, etc

    Cliff Robinson's obviously not watching Rockets games. Check out this quote after the Warriors beat the Lakers.

    "Every player in this league is capable of scoring points," said Clifford Robinson, who had a season-high 24 points to lead all scorers. "What separates teams in this league is working hard on the defensive end. It takes making big stop after big stop, and that's what won it for us tonight."



    Wish our boys saw it like you, Cliffy. But alas, here we are struggling to score 30 points in a half.

    I guess technically, Jackson and Cato aren't free agents, but you get the picture.

    Yes, but then we gave Cato $8million a year for 6 years and in that move lies the Rockets' folly with regards to Cato. Then we tried to trade him and as one might predict, no one would take Cato on with that ridiculous contract.

    Cato has deifnitely improved, but he still makes twice as much money as he's worth, period.

    for all of those reasons, we must trade cato while he is worth something. he is ding a great job, sure, but he won't be hard to replace.
