It falls only 20 percent of the time. He really should go
to the basket and rebound. Shooting from outside is
the job of JJ, Mobley, Tayler, and Steve.

 

I think JVG should have left MJ in the game longer yesterday. I firmly believe we should have won yesterday's game against Minnesota. We were losing when Steve was in the game. The guards weren't dropping the ball into Yao. And when they did try to throw the ball to Yao, it got picked off a couple of times because of the lazy passes.

Then Mark Jackson came in and we were able to catch up to Minnesota by halftime. And that no look behind the back pass to Yao for the slam had my jumping out of my seat and throwing my arms up. It was frustrating when he took MJ out and then we started playing the selfish basketball game again. And it was frustrating watching Mobley keep taking all those shots when he was shooting poorly last night. Yet they kept passing the ball to him.

 

No, they got picked off because Ervin "Not Magic" Johnson kept going over Yao's back and fouling him...

 

I totally disagree. Steve kept us in the game the entire fourth quarter when Yao was so tired he could barely jump...

I agree with A-train though -- and that might explain why Yao was so tired!

 

It is because it was a very winnable game even though all of our players were tired, Cato was out, and Yao had a sub-par game. It is also because we help puppies put up another point in their win column to secure their #2 seat, which we really like. I hope puppies can stand up and win some games and face us in the playoffs. I cann't wait to see KG gets fired after 8th straight first round loss in playoff.

 

Catos starting role is gone...even if he manages to come back by playoff time he will be out of shape. Cato fought hard and was actually an asset to us...but he is not a starter.

 

I agree, i like more in the starting line up much more. Sure our D goes down but our O goes up, & thats somthing we've needed all season long.

 

Still trying to figure out how Cato's an asset. Think very hard about how atrocious his O is before proclaiming his D to be "worth it." To be an asset, a player has to produce more than his counterpart. Who the hell thinks Cato outplays most of the 4's he comes across?
