Well, people on this board called Stackhouse a gunner, but even last yr he avg over 4 asst and this yr he's at about this mark. Mobley runs hot and cold, and right now he's hot, but when he's cold he's cold. 1 asst in 4 games is showing he's not making his teammates better. I have no problem with him shooting the ball, but if h and Francis are going to take 40 out of the 73 shots, then how can you expect anyone else to play with energy knowing they won't even smell the pill most times.
Option 1: Create an open shot (i.e ISO). If doubled, goto 2. Option 2: Pass the ball to the open man (typically on the weak side) To swing the ball over often takes more than one pass. If in a given play, Cat is the 1st option, that means he doesn't get the assist. Anybody who knows this team understands this at some level. Granted his decision making isn't the best but I don't beleive his decision making is reflected in his low APG. If he decided to pass the ball instead of rushing a shot, in all liklyhood, Cat still wouldn't get the assist unless it's an ally-op to Cato. Cat should have drawn the defense and the ball moves to the weakside.
...and then we should trade Francis for another subpar star, since trading Mobley may run off Francis too.
hmmmmm, I was mainly responding to the tangent about who is the hottest shooter -- right now. Isn't that an argument being posed by others, including yourself. Aren't you interested in the fact Mobley is red hot since he has stopped complaining about the two puffy ankles? hmmmmmm, blind stats, 'eh. Again, I'm merely trying raise some joy that Mobley is shooting 48.1% over 16 games. Why not? We certainly cannot be upset by that? I hope no one is. If so, they are dorks. So, two years ago Mobley shot 38% at the Jan 15th mark for 36 games, and ending up shooting 43% that season. You do the math and figure out what he closed out in those last 46 games. The point is not to dispute the jack up artist claim. The point is to defend the jack up artist who nails 48%. I don't need to answer your 3 questions, because they are rhetorical. Try answering why Francis owns the league's worst Ast/TO ratio for a PG, and all those answers are probably the same as for your questions, except Francis's weaknesses are Rudy's fault and Mobley's strengths are his weaknesses, now you guys are confusing me. Hey, let's not get goofy with a pointless argument. The fact is from my viewpoint <b>Mobley's jumper looks more under control and confident than every before.</b> I'm sooooo happy about that. He is learning to survive in a zone world, that was supposed to stop him. boy, they sure have stopped him this time! I say Batman, we need a new commissioner! He always improves. you must believe in Full Fully believe. Then take your clothes off and dance around goofy like, and chant: Mobley can shoot 48%. Mobley can shoot 48%. I BELIEVE! Did I make it goofy enough. Or do you really want to talk about stats and who is the hottest Rocket for over a month now and whether he should pass to Mrs Torrance or how passing it to Francis, Moochie and KT (like he indeed does) will not bring an assist, because they'll dribble, dribble, dribble. I BELIEVE! All it takes is knowing how to root for a losing team.
Is that you Crispee? Try answering why there is such a discrepancy between the Rockets record with Steve vs the Rockets record without. Moblye is at his best when the game is out of reach. Stat padding time.
Why are we even talking about other players deficiencies? What does Steve's turnover numbers have to do with Mobley's passing abilitiy?
Try answering why there is such a discrepancy between the Rockets record with Cuttino vs the Rockets record without (0-4).
hmmm...maybe cat should get injured for 17 more games so we can decide... where are you going with this?
Is this thread about Mobley´s passing skills or which one is better (Mobley or Francis? Why every time this come up, people argument "well, Steve is better that Cuttino"... "Cuttino is not Steve"... I think everybody knows that. Just stop comparing these two players, because it´s not fair; both are great players, both are part of the bright Rockets future and they are trying as hard as they can. Just like EVERY other players in the league, they have some weakness, why not look at the aspects in their respective games where they are great? The importance of both players is reflected in our record without them, and all of you people knows that. If not for the injuries, right now we would be in the playoff race.
hmmm... .000 vs .095, I see what you mean, Cat is obviously more important to the Rockets. No wait, that wasn't what you were arguing at all. Now I am really , is Cuttino worse because he toughs it out and plays through injuries?
Have you ever had a migraine? It's not like having a sprained ankle. A bit more painful actually. It effects your dexterity and vision. But I'll agree with you. Cuttino is more important to the Rockets than Steve. I think that has been proven beyond a shadow of doubt.
0-4 is a pretty small variance. 2-19, imo , is more telling. But whatever. Both are great plaeyrs, Cuttino is tougher and a better shooter. Steve rebounds better.
Yes I do. They can pass it back when Mobley is open. Thats what passes are all about, and that is what Catino doesn't seem to understand. The more he passes it, the more open shots he will have later. The more he forces it up, the more double and tripple coverage he will have to face. Play team ball. It works.
Hmm, maybe if we all use our brainpower we can figure out a common thing that makes all of these teams suck. What could it be?
Shane Battier is a 6'8" two guard? Is he that quick or the Grizzlies just missing Michael Dickerson and Nick Anderson that much?
