    Oh thanks man. i think both excuses are pretty lame if you ask me. he had a fallingout with JVG and he probaly ended up on the IL. it's been a blessing though, it meant padgett was able to get those extra minutes and be such a damn value for money!

    His trade value continued to drop while he was playing. Maybe they are hoping that it won't get any worse with him on the IR.

    True or not, I don't care. Let him stay there.

    I can think of two words. Plant. Rod Strickland.

    I don't think the Rockets can accomplish too much this season without getting at least some offense from Mo off the bench. But right now with the way Padgett and the entire second unit(with the exception of Strickland) are playing, I say keep him on the IL.

    I engineered Orlando Spanish radio and the Play by play was having a BALL with the fact that MT was on the IL because of the Flu. It was the funniest stuff I've ever heard in spanglish. OMG it was good.

    That would have meant a suspension, and would have been made public by the league.

    MoT's on IL because of his allergic reactions to defense.

    and the willingness to play in the post and bang with other PFs. Where did that jump hook disappear to?

    It turned into an 18ft jumper which he takes as soon as the he gets the ball, regardless of situation.

    I have to say that of all the players, Motay has disappointed me the most. Last year, he could at least bring the O from the post but now it seems like he wants nothing to do with the paint.

    I don't care what anyone saids about MoT I still think he can contribute and get his act together- anyway, Weed Man is making a ton of money and I would make him play just on principle.

    Motay and JJax problem (I presume) is that understanding and accepting to the role of being just "role players".

    Our egos atimes have a way of inflating our worth unnecessarily. Motay could be gotten off the IL for Spoon but Motay will not accept playing selected roles behind Padget. He will not hear enough of it from his friends if he is a depth chart belwo Scotty de body. At least I glad Padget has seized this opportunity to shine.
