Im just curious, as to why shandon wasnt checking kobe in the 4th quarter and since kobe was practically their entire offense why didnt we double team him..offensively, mo looked good and hes playing real well but why werent we milking that situation..also for those of you that feel mo doesnt play good defense, i watched his defensive rotations and rebounding and they looked great..and the refs what is this about star treatment.. are kobe and shaq like michael and scottie from chicago in that they should get every call.. i mean shaq threw mo to the ground on one occasion and their was no call but a little reach by the rockets was called..i dont like or understand it..also where was cato, dream was getting winded in the 4th quarter..you could tell by the power on his shots..and plus kelvin plays good d on shaq..i remember the super bowl sunday game i was there....i know the rockets will be fine and are young( i still think their a playoff team) but they shouldve and couldve easily won this game......anyways, chime in with your opinions. ------------------ How Sweet It Is!

Because Shandon was hardly in the 4th quarter and Rudy needs to figure out when to pull Cuttino and when not to!! aaarrgghhh! ------------------ 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!!
Kobe was still doing Shandon when Shandon was guarding him. But I do think Shandon played better defense on Kobe, and made him work harder on his shots. ------------------ da ability to focus attention on important things is a defining characteristic of intelligence - alaskanSnowman
WALT and Bullard I figure if I put them in a thread about Defense then maybe some defense will get into them Rocket River Walt needs a big dose of Mr Pine START KT@!!! ------------------
Really though When we brought in Walt I thought KT was the better choice because I think Fox was in at SF Fox is not the fastest SF . . so I figure KT could stick with him and could muscle him some [see how KT was bodying up shaq] Rocket River ------------------
