Mobley=great player who chokes everytime with game on the line

Cat takes a terrible shot at the end of the game again.

 

Cuttino and class have never gone together.

 

He has hit a few "game clinchers", but never any game winners where the Rockets are guaranteed to lose if they miss a shot. He did make the game-winning layup versus New York last year, and he tied the game against Indiana in the second OT last year as well. Apart from those shots, Mobley has been pathetic in the clutch.

 

I hear Cuttino butters the wrong side of his bread.

 

didn't he hit the game winner in his very first NBA game vs. GS?

 

I know some of you don't like Cuttino Mobley, but calling him classless makes no sense whatsoever. As for Griffin having more game winning shots, that is ridiculous, and it's just a case of some of you looking for every little thing to nitpick about the guy, especially after he had a big game and you can't find something to complain about him now. Francis has as many game winning shots as Mobley. To sit here and judge a guy on how many game winning shots you remember him making just tells me you guys are digging for something to pound on him for. He hit a game winning shot against Golden State, he hit a game winning shot against New York. What do you want, for him to hit a game winner every game or something? Francis has one game winner that I remember, that isn't a knock on him at all. It just tells me you can't sit here and judge a guy on how many game winning shots he makes. I mean really how many game winning shots do you remember Ray Allen making? Jason Kidd? You act like game winning shots are the easiest thing in the world to accomplish. Those are tough shots, that's why you rarely see them.

 

Rockets should put themselves in better positions so they aren't forced to hit "game winners."

If you want to get mad, get mad about their lack of defense in the 2nd quarter. Don't get mad cause the leading scorer and the career high-in-points person can't hit a game winner which typically is a low percentage situation anyway.

 

Good point. And although Cat did shoot lights out last nite, he is also part of the problem on D with regard to getting back on transition and closing out on shooters in the halfcourt set. If this team played any D they would have won at least 20 games by now.

 

I am one of Cat's harshest critics, but in NO way was last nights loss attributable to him or Francis, they carried this team and played their hearts out.

Cat scored 41 points, and played decent defense.

This was a team loss, no one getting back on defense killed the Rockets last night.

I must also say that I really enjoy watching New Jersey and Sacremento play basketball, the way they get everyone involved is exactly the type of team that the Rockets need to become to win consistently.

At least he hit a game tying shot tonight versus Charlotte. He actually admits to learning from choking versus New York(sic?) earlier this year.

 

Yup, he chokes everytime...except this time.

 

That is hilarious!

 

I hate negative posts. I'm starting to see what people mean when they say things about the Rockets Board.

 

Yep, lots and lots of stupid stupid posts. His first ever NBA game...DUUUHHHH! . You people are tryin to agravate me. Cat has also had a few more game winners, breakers, and tie...uhhh ers. This is his 4th year now and he still is getting uncalled for criticism. Yes I know, I know he will make some boneheaded plays and take less than the highest percentage of shots, but do you realize why he has had to do this sometimes, and more importantly how good a player he really is? Has the investment of our 41st pick a few years ago and then that sweetheart of a deal the rox got been a complete waste? Would you prefer Dickerson right now(no offense intended he's a pretty good player)? Morons! I look forward to the day when Mobley is considered our 4th or 5th best player but in my opinion his clutchness is definitely confirmed.

 

I like the fact that after all his misses he is still not afraid to take the game winner. He can be 3-17 and still take the last shot with no hesitation.

 

Do you care about the Rockets winning? If so, then you wouldn't want him to have the "balls" to take the last shot. Especially if it's going to be a 30 ft jumper, when he's having a 3 for 17 shooting night.
