    Sane,

    I apologize if I offended you with those comments. I was not really aiming at you with the bitterness-- more at other posters in this BBS who treat the Rockets, Cuttino, and other players with that bitterness. I'm one of the more positive thinking people here-- I'm not bitter at all-- but I was just trying to give certain posters a dose of their own medicine. And as far as you accusing me of always considering others wrong, I would like to see one example of how I do so anymore than any other poster on this BBS. I'm not trying to start anything-- please don't read into it that way. All I do is say what I think, just like you say what you think. Sure, from time to time I think some people are wrong when it eventually turns out they may be right. But so does everyone. And if you think I think I can't be wrong, that's something I know for a fact you are wrong about. Nothing personal-- again don't read it that way-- just making sure you know that. Anyway, get back to this and other threads. Just had to use this space to clear the air between me and Sane. Like I said Sane, I'm sorry if it offended you. Just trying to get across a point. Hope you can understand. [​IMG]

    Cuttino passesd the ball quite effectively, infact he is not often credited for his assists do to the NBAs polocy on statistics. Cuttino passes the ball to steve as he begins a drive to the rack. he dribbles, therefore NO ASSIST. Cat passes to Mo or KT after a failed iso or drive to the rack. mo and Kenny are both goofs who like to dribble, or make some weak perimiter move and nothing comes of it. Hell the guy that does alll the scoring cant get too many assists especially when NO ONE ELSE CAN SCORE on a regular basis. THAT is why steve gets 1.75 of Cats 2 assists. Because he can actually score.

    steve usually has a bunch of assists in the first quarter strangely when MO is always making his shots. WOW ITS MAGIC. than everyone goes cold, and Cat and steve have to play off each other.

    all your negativity is silly, so i figure i would place the balme on everyone else.

    ALSO WHAT A TRUELY IGNORANT TITLE FOR A POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    peace

    giving the ball to steve and watching him drive is not an assist. But, if Cat gives steve the ball around the basket and he scores, then taht may be an assist.

    I think Cat is a great player and am very proud that he re-signed with Houston, but he's averaging less than 2 assists per game. Passing is not his forte, and that isn't a crime.

    That's cool The Cat...I understand, and it's nice of you to understand..

    Anyways, getting back to the discussion, I still think Mobley SHOULD be getting more assists...My points were actually positive...I said that Mobley can do anything Iverson does, he just needs to average a couple of more assists...I like Mobley, and I beleive in a few years, Francis/Mobley will be like a Payton/Stackhouse backcourt now, but without that much ego......Who knows, maybe Mobley will start getting more assists when/if Cato comes back...He seemed to get a lot off Cato last year...If he gives 1.5 assists to Francis, 1 to MO, and 1 to any other player, that's 3.5 assists per game, and I would be totally happy with that....


    For us to be really succesful, this is how I project our team:

    Cato 10ppg, 8.5rpg, 2bpg (FG 50%)
    Mo-T 15ppg, 8.0rpg, 1bpg (FG 50%)
    Shan 14ppg, 5.5rpg, 1.75spg, 2.2apg (FG 45%)
    Tino 17ppg, 4.5rpg, 3.5apg, 2.0spg (FG 43%)
    Wink 20ppg, 6.5rpg, 8.5apg, 2.25spg, 0.8bpg (FG 45%)
    KT 7.5ppg, 6rpg, 1.5apg, 1bpg (FG 48%)
    Mooch 5ppg, 3rpg, 3apg, 0.75spg (FG 45%)
    Collier 5ppg, 5rpg, 1.25bpg (FG 50%)
    Langhi 5ppg, 3rpg, 1apg, 1spg, 0.5bpg(FG 48%)

    LOL, I guess it's a bit carried away to say all this will happen in the same season, but that would probably take us to the Western Conference Finals at least.....

    Sane, or is it IN-sane,

    who cares how many assists/game Cat gets??? do you have him on a fantesy team or something?? In Vancouver WE got the win, and Cat only had 2 assists. hell he had 0 assists in our last win. do you really think need the fantesy points that much??? A WIN IS A WIN
