    Did any of you guys realize that suddenly he learns how to rebound in the East, against the CBA-quality big men?

    Fact is that if he was still a Rocket, he would be a below-average PF in the West.

    Don't be blinded by what he does in the East.

    Mo T wouldn't be far from a 20-10 guy in the East.

    Statements like this...eliminates any credibility you might have had in your prior statements...as unfounded as they were.

    Kidrock8 is not too far off with his statement. I can see Mo getting 20 pts/game as a starter in the LEast, but the 10 rebounds is a stretch.

    In MoTs career he has an average of less than 5 rebounds a game..he averages around 13ppg.. What were you thinking?...lDo you even know if he has ever had a 20 pt 10reb game against anybody?

    KT could always rebound.

    His performance with Sixers VALIDATES, ONCE AGAIN, IT'S RUDY'S SYSTEM. He is a completely different player on offense now that he's out of here.

    Please no more iso's with 4 teammates standing around picking their ........

    Les, get us someone who can coach:rolleyes:

    He averaged 6.5 reb and 17 pts the yr before he joined the Rockets.

    Do you really think he didn't have any 20/10 games with those averages? What are you thinking?

    The guy's been injured a while...I think people tend to forget how good he is. He'll never been an awesome rebounder, but 20/10 in the east is not that much of a stretch for a healthy MoT.

    YUP! Watching Kenny specifically last night all his points came on pick and rolls and pick and slips getting great passes for scores. Seemed like all his points were via assists or offensive rebounds and put backs. His offense came within the flow of their motion offense! I don't think I saw the 76ers just dump it down to Thomas on the block and let him go to work ONE TIME! NOT ONE TIME! Yet, he scores efficiently for 16pts!

    CLEARLY it is our system!

    Motion, Passing, Cutting, Movement on the weakside, fast breaks. - PLEASE!

    ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

    he has averaged 6.5 reb a game once, his last year with the Clips, and that was when he playing for a contract

    yeah he has been round a while only averaged 6.5 reb a game ONCE

    even in the east he would have to play 80 minutes a game to average 10 rebounds a game.

    PS i hope his offense back to level it was in the 3OT Pacers game

    If Maurice Taylor can average 20/10 in the East, just think want Shareef would average if Memphis traded him.

    MoT wouldn't be a 20 and 10 guy in the developmental league, maybe 25 points but never 10 rebounds.

    I like MoTs game, for what it is, a good offensive game off the bench. but 20 and 10?.....These are the guys that are 20 and 10 or more for 2002-2003...Shaq, KG, Duncan, J.Oneal, thats it ..
    You are wrong about MoT and you were wrong about KT, and you are too stubborn to admit it.
    KT may not have been the difference whether the 6ers made the playoffs or not..but, he probably was the difference the Rockets didnt.

    I disagree...I like the game that Posey brought us. The problem is Griffin and Mo T didn't live up to their end of the deal.

    From Coach Brown:

    "I'm asking him to do a lot of things he probably hasn't been asked to do, and he just goes out there and does it."

    KT was a fine Rocket, but JPo brings more, IMHO. What hurts isn't that it's Kenny, it's 'the system', or lack thereof.
