Too funny... One thing about Mobley is that he loves to play and works his ass off. I guess he needs to realize sometimes he's trying to do much and killing our overall offense. If he can get more of his shots off passes, then there would not be much to complain about.
This is scary; Houston - We have a potential problem . See for yourselves (underlined quote). We all know the "same thing" he was doing prior to going on the IL. Hmmmmmm. Oh by the way, it is nice to hear Francis ackowledge the positives of the team's "new found" ball movement. But ironically I have not seen any report where he praised or credited (albeit minute) much of Tuesday's victory to Yaozilla.
Actually the thing he was doing before going to the il was cutting down on his shots, passing more, and trying to fit in more. He's been raising his assists, # of shots have been going down, and everybody's been saying how he'll be adjusting and fitting in an inside-outside attack. Also we need the extra offense.
Stop looking for strife where there is none. take your divisive mind back to sina.com...wilbur kookemyer.
Prior to him going on IL we were still trying to fit injured guys and Yao Ming into the mix. When Cat comes back we will have even more firepower and a stronger rotation. MT, TMo, Rice and Yao Ming are going to get better as we go. And KT and Mooch had those nagging thumb/finger injuries which will get better over time. I'd like to see a good spread of the points. Nothing wrong with 5-8 guys getting double digit points
Wow is there some telling quotes in this article or what? Steve Francis. "I know that once he gets back, he's going to be doing what everyone else has been doing -- fitting in with our scheme of things, which is starting inside and going outside. "Look how we won (Tuesday). We passed the ball, and we won the game. I don't think he'll have a problem with that." Sounds to me that even Francis realizes Mobley needs to quit taking hard shots and pass the ball more. If not why would he of even brought it up? Mobley "It's the same thing -- going out there and being aggressive sometimes, directing us at other times and sparking us on the defensive end," Mobley said of his role. "Just the same thing I've been doing. Sounds like Mobley don’t get it to me. I could be reading more into this than I should but remember when Francis said something to the effect that if we’re not getting it yet then there is something wrong. Could this be the first sign that Francis is not happy with Mobley’s game? Could this be the beginning of the end of the Cat Francis love affair?
The Steve quote was very encouraging. Are we about to really make a major strategy shift, are really going to stay with the inside then outside scheme. Oh let it be true! If both Mobley and Frances buy into this and actually execute this strategy, and if our forwards begin to hit their shots, and Ming continues to progress, the Rockets will go on a "Mav-like" winning streak very soon. Oh please God, we have waited so long, we have endured near "Oiler fan-like" suffering, we have watched so many hours of ugly-ball! Is our deliverance at hand?!
We have strong team this year. We need time right now, Cuttino knows what he have to do to make this team better. He's a good guy, now Yao has showed and proved that the ball can start with him in the paint.we can start rolling teams.We have to give Cat a chance, this guy have a heart big as Texas, an he works real for us.
