    While I believe Mutombo should have played more, I don't know HOW much more. Our MAIN problem was interior speed and quickness.

    he should have been in instead of juwon howard.... why put in a player who cant shoot, cant rebound, and cant defend ? with mutumbo you know youre going to get rebounds and blocked shots, no easy layups. i feel yao hurt us a little more than he helped us in this series, but i understand that you can't just bench an all-star like him. but why not bring in mutumbo when hes getting a rest or in foul trouble ???? this is REALLY bothering me, i wish someone would ask JVG that.

    Sorry guys...technical problems. I should have the rest of Mutombo and Spanoulis up tomorrow. I'll also have a TON more player reaction to the end of the season so check back.

    Yea same, with the way the Panathinaikos, Greece, I think there is a big chacne he is gonna go back. Which will put us in the misery hole even more. Players bailing on us.

    yea theyll throw Deke in the street like they did Rudy T, Hakeem, and Calvin.
    even if he wanted to play, i doubt hell be back.
    the rockets in the past have shat on their legends.

    Hakeem left on his own to be a Raptor because the Rockets wouldn't pay him what he thought he deserved. His play for Toronto proved they were right.

    Mutombo helped us win 10-15 games during the regular season, don't you guys remember his efforts?!

    Fire JVG!

    That would be awesome, but I think Sani is doing well enough covering for him... His performance this season might give him another NBA chance despite his injuries

    I mean, the Nuggets used a pick to draft him right after his double surgery on both knees when no one knew if he could even play basketball again. That just shows how much they thought of his ability if he came back to take such a big risk...

    If not this summer, I think he'll def be in the NBA the year after...

    BTW, Pavlo = Best GM EVER

    Mutombo played well in the season, but he really does not help with the lack of quickness in the playoffs. I think the Juwan/Chuck frontline was better defensively vs. the quicker Jazz.

    Mutombo is the new Charles Jones. The fourth Wiseman. Lifetime contract. Lock him up.

    Hilltopper throwing down a V-Span red-herring. :D J/K, I can't imagine what V-Span could/would have said last night.

    Deke, jeez, he's always been a warrior and I really feel for our franchise now. At least I get to exorcize my pain here.
