... referring to the influence Mobley has on our GREAT Steve Fancis. We have all discussed how an influence Hakeem has on Francis being the leader of this team. Now how's Cuttino's? I'm mad! ------------------
Its a no win situation. If Cuttino is cut, traded or benched, Francis will likely leave the team. If Cat stays, Francis will never improve and the Rockets will be in the gutter for years to come. ------------------ "Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning how to put food on their family while being put to death."
Come on guys. I'm the biggest Cat detractor there is, but he ain't that bad. He just needs to know his role. ------------------ "We don't have any plans. We just plan to win." Mack Brown
... then hope Cuttino will very soon know what his role is ...... certainly not what he said "a go-to guy". ------------------
Its up to Rudy to control Cat. Right now, Cat thinks he and Steve are co-leaders of the team. This is Steve's team. If Hakeem can recognize this, Cat should. Cat has the confidence of a player who was a top 5 draft pick. Unfortunately, there is a reason he was a 2nd round pick. I guess his green light to do whatever he wants is why Rudy is considered a "players' coach". ------------------ Respect Hakeem's legacy. A championship in the hand is worth two in the bush!!
very good obervation. Hakeem, a future hall of famer, 2 championships, has realized that this is Steve's team. What has Mobley ever accomplished. ------------------
What has Francis accomplished? Mobley isn't a bad influence, he needs to calm down though. And Cat is a go-to guy, just not THE go-to guy. No team is going to win with just one go-to guy and Mobley needs to defer to Francis more down the stretch. ------------------ "I have a scale at home and it only goes up so far, I love that scale!" - Charles Barkley TNT Studios
If every team in the NBA is going to double Cuttino like he was at the end of the game, then he is a good go-to guy. Someone was open and Cat needs to learn when and how to find them with a pass. ------------------
If Steves growth as a basketball player depends on Cutino then he is not the player we thought he was! ------------------
Now that is a little too far. Cat is undeniably better than most of the 1st rounders. He would have been a lottery pick if teams would have known of his tallent. He does make bonehead mistakes at times but remember, it took Dream years to relize that if he was doubled or tripled then someone was wide open and he needed to pass. If Rudy T would get a little more aggresive in helping Cat learn this then he would be a lot more dangerous. ------------------
Cat is a talented player. We need him, the coaching staff just needs to let him know this is not his team. ------------------
