    When Paul Westpaul got fired, he quoted something John Wooden said about having on a basketball team: 5 players always with you, 5 players always against you, and 5 players undecided. The key to success is having the 5 players undecided to be on your side.

    My question is, which Rockets do you think fall into each category? And why?

    Players always with Rudy T:

    Steve Francis-obediant and not the anti-coach type
    Cuttino Mobley-he should love the faith that Rudy has in him
    Matt Bullard-has been a part of the many different teams Rudy put together
    Hakeem Olajuwon-loyalty works both ways

    Players against (I'm not sayin they hate him or anything. Just that they disagree with his moves more than the other players.):

    Carlos Rogers-feels that he deserves more playing time
    Shandon Anderson-might feel like he needs to be more involved
    Kenny Thomas-might feel like he deserves to start
    Kelvin Cato-doesn't seem like the type of person to get along with anyone

    Undecided/In between:

    Moochie
    Collier
    Taylor
    Langhli
    Wizard
