    He is eligible to be activated, does anyone know if he is going to play tonight against the Kings?

    We really need him back.

    A healthy Mobley is a much better offensive player then Hawkins...and with the team struggling to score....you bet your arse we NEED him back.

    I doubt it considering it's a road game. I havn't even seen him on the bench for the other games, so I'm pretty sure he hasn't been traveling with the team.

    I bet Steve is really missing him. I wonder how much time they spend on the phone with each other when they're apart?

    Typically with an ankle sprain like this, it takes longer to recoup. I would rather him sit awhile longer and fully recover, than have him play today, score 20 in a victory and reaggravate his ankle. I agree that we are missing offense, but the idea of team play is that someone else will step up.

    Remeber this, the Kings are not playing up to their potential thusfar in the season. We could slip by even without Mobley if they put on another poor performance irregardless of our shooting percentage.

    :p I know I don't have pictures to prove it but Cuttino was at Tonic (downtown Houston club) last night and unless he took a flight into Sacramento this morning, which I highly doubt, he's definitely not playing this evening. And it may be hard to believe but I don't carry a camera with me 24/7 to prove who I've seen.

    GO ROCKETS!!

    Even if he was at the game, he'll won't get many minutes. He needs to get back into shape.

    :( Unfortunately for the short while I was there (11:30PM-12:00AM) Cuttino did not hit the dancefloor. He was with this super hot, super implanted blonde chic at the bar and surrounded by his friends and fans. If he was dancing on the floor then that would mean his ankle is healed but since I didn't see that I couldn't say. Either way it was cool to see a Rocket player enjoying the downtown nightlife with the rest of us normal Houstonians.

    GO YAO!!

    Is Mr. Mobley married? I'm not sure but he was with a white, blonde lady the whole time I was there. So for his sake, I hope that was his wife. ;)

    Nah I don't think Mobley was pimping it last night. They were just talking and drinking and Cat was cool enough to say hello to some fans. Nothing really amazing to report. I didn't even say hello to him 'cause I didn't want to bother the guy. He seemed busy with the other fans already.

    GO MOBLEY (+ blonde chic)!!

    Last yr i used to see all them dudes at tonic, especially on tuesday night. I saw Griffin,Francis,Mobley,Cato and all the rest there before. Most time i go upstairs and thats where they go. Its cool, but i've never seen him or Francis with a blonde. Most of the times i catch them they walk out with the baddest sister in the spot.

    When Mobes first went on the IR, he said (in the Chronicle ) that he is shooting for December 10 as the return date. Not sure if that date still stand. I guess it depend on how fast he heal.

    He was supposed to be out for at least 2 weeks. If he went out right after the Mavs game on Nov. 21, I suppose we shouldn't expect him to be back for another week or so.
