    I have not seen Cuttino playing hard defense, nor I ever will. (From my perspective) He is too worry to keep his stats up (There is more in defense than steals!!!!) [​IMG]

    I seem to remember Mike Murphy referring to Mobley as a "spectacular defender" last year. Where did that come from?

    Cat does play defense some of the time...particularly while trapping. I've seen him help create TO's

    Unfortunately, It doesn't happen with enough regularity to really brag about.

    I just wish he would quit jacking up all those bricks at the end of games. Pass that sucker Cat!!!!

    I haven't seen much of anyone on this team play great defense. I guess that is why we are near last place.

    Mobley is a very good defender. He is not a heralded defensive player, but is very capable.

    Everyone gets beat from time to time on a one on one basis.....that is the beauty of the NBA, no zones (well, not really anyway). Cat certainly plays better D than Steve at this stage.

    There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
