    I doubt it, but I noticed it too. My guess is that billboard had already been contracted by someone else for the next few months, but who knows? :)

    yeah, the other weird thing is season ticket books come with a different player pictured on each ticket...alternating between Rudy, SF, CM, Yao and Griff. They recently sent a letter asking ticket holders if we want to exchange our Rudy and Cuttino ones for "extra edition" Calvin and Posey ones.

    don't know what that means.

    Honey Baked Ham Co. threatened to sue for product impersonation if the billboard wasn't brought down.

    you all are looking into that way too much. I say get off of Mobley's back....he's going through a transition period right now. Think about it, last year Mobley was pretty much the main option with Stevie, MoT and Rice being out. The year before he was the 1rst or second option....now he's being asked to defer his shots and compliment Yao, which is good thing and I feel he realizes that he must do this to win. I want to know who would you like to replace Mobley with...and be reasonable. I mean the only 2 guards I would take in place of Mobley woulc be KOBE or AI, maybe Allan Houston and we all know none of those options are available.

    Why the heck would they do that. Cat is way cooler than Posey. If Cat gets traded for anything less than Gasol or Brand, I will be pissed.

    In a related story - Francis has rededicated himself to winning and he has promised to make Yao his new best friend to the dismay of Cutino (gravity).

    You've all lost your minds.

    To even assume we're capable of that level of conspiracy ... I'm flattered.

    Cuttino's billboard came down because ... somebody else bought the space. Our billboard company actually had left the Cuttino board up a couple of months extra as a bonus for us because they liked the creative, and we're very grateful.

    This is some pretty funny stuff...

    I wouldn't read anything into this, but trying to rotate billboards. However, I must admit, and I'm guilty of this too, I'm way to hard on the CAT now a days...

    Sure he could be a great player for the rockets, but he's just in a slump, not knowing if Stevie is his best friend still and if they'll be going to club later...

    Yeah. Tim is Doc Rocket's long-lost twin brother. Talk about taking cryptic posts to a whole new level :D.



    Seriously, it's so great to have Tim post here on the board :).
