    In a game where he couldn't hit an outside shot, Mo hustled all over the floor and grabbed 14 boards - 4 offensive. He was tremendous.

    Tremendous indeed. Even though his offensive game wasn't clicking, his defense was there when he was gaurding Malone in the 4th. NICE.

    ------------------
    Francis out top, 9 seconds on the clock, he gives a no look pass to Cuttino Mobley, 4 seconds left, Mobley passes to an open Langhi in the corner with 1 second left! Langhi at the buzzer.......YES!!! How Sweet It Is!!

    I thought Mo did an excellent job against the Mailman. One of the few bright spots in tonights game.

    I strongly feel that most of Mo's rebounding problems early in the year were due to the broken finger. I noticed a number of times where he had problems grabbing/grasping the ball. Now that he's healed, he's getting to and holding on to balls he wasn't earlier.

    I need to start giving Mo his props. I've bashed Mo in the past, but his one of the few bright spots lately on the Rockets. I feel now, along with Steve, he needs to get the ball more, and stop defering to Mobley.

    Mo is playing well, but I just watched the tape, and KT was guarding Mailman in the 4th, and Mo was getting burned on backdoor cuts by Marshall.

    14 rebounds is mighty nice though.

    Mo has been tha MAN as of late.. the last 10 games-- He's came with it EVERY night, and I think it was just his getting used to the offense and not having to work for his own shot like he did in LA. Now he's feeling around and grabbing boards, blocking shots. Hey, if we don't get webber this summer (which we're not likely to do) I'll be proud to have Mo. Also, wouldn't you guys like to build a team and let it develop rather than put new pieces every year? Dallas comes to my mind, because last year they were pretty good and this year, with that finley/nowitzki combo, they've got some things going.

    anyhow, should be fun watching the raptors game. later all,

    Dadakota,

    Check again. First, KT and Mo were hardly on the floor together at all in the 4th- Mo was in foul trouble early and just KT was in. Shortly after Mo came back, Bullard came in for KT. But when KT was on Malone, Taylor was on Polynice. Every time. I sure didn't see Taylor on Marshall tonight.

    Hey Rockets2k,

    Maybe, if we give king2440 an answer, he'll quit asking the same one. I'll give it a try.

    King2440,

    I don't think it would be who, but what we could get. I think we could get at least a case of Budweiser & if we throw in a couple of #1's, we might get a keg. Party on dude. [​IMG]

    Mo should be in the contest. He sure can power dunk. He would probably get killed cause his best dunks are over people, not like acrobatic 360s.
    What a game. 6-11 shooting, 14 boards, and some clean blocks were he got called for the foul.
