The Nets announcer: "I don't know what kind of shot selection that was, but I'm sure the Nets like it"
I don't have a problem with that shot. Yeah it's not the best shot selection in the world...but before everybody goes b****ing about it, realize that with Mobley you have to take the good with the bad, and the good if you ask me far outweighs the bad. He was on fire tonight...shoot it, Cat.
Opposing defenses love to face the Rockets. They know they don't really need to put too much effort into defending them. The Rockets are basically puppets for the defense, in the sense that the Rockets idea of a good shot, is what the defense is ready and willing to give them.
Wow. Too bad opposing defenses would gladly take the "good and the bad" with Cuttino and his inability to think.
The last shot wasn't that bad, he was squared up, he had his body under him and an open look at the basket with a chance to tie the game. Sometimes that doesn't go in.
He was squared up, but it was by no means an open look. The defender was right up on the ball when he released.
No, the defender was at least a foot away, and the defender was flat-footed, while Cuttino was elevating. He had an open look.
If it means winning the game in the end, yes. When was the last time Cuttino hit a game winning shot? The chances of him hitting a game winner is about 5% because of his horrible shot selection. Is it any coincedence why the Rockets lose every close game imaginable? Rockets will never win their fair share of close games, if Cuttino insists on being the selfish a-hole that he is.
What timing.....Barkley just said twice "if you ever play w/ Cuttino Mobley you not gonna get any shots"!!!
What!? Huh!? Someone tell Hero Mobley that a 26 footer is still worth the same as a 22 footer, it's just a harder shot.
Man, is nothing good enough for this BBS? The guy scored 41 pts, on good shooting. Down the stretch, he gave up the ball when the defense collapsed on him, yet he still gets b****ed at. Sometimes I think that Mobley could turn water into wine, and people would b**** that it was a red wine, and they specifically requested a sparkling white. There were reasons we lost this game, but Cuttino Mobley is not one of them.
Our Defense was the main problem and if TMO hits that 3 late when we were down one we win. Rockets are in the game, now they need to learn how to win the close ones. DD
If he scored 2 points, and the Rockets won, no one would be b****ing. Fact is that he's one of the most unreliable players in crunch time, so I could care less if he scores 90 ppg, if we lose.
