    What surprises me is that a grown ass man like Cuttino still doesn't know how to tie the drawstrings on his shorts.

    In the second half, while he was out on the court, especially when he was in his defensive crouch, he was basically MOONING all of Arco, not to mention a NATIONAL TV AUDIENCE! What the hell was that?

    I kept telling my friend "Damn, he's shooting again." "Look again!" "Again!"

    I am kinda glad he's not on this team now. (Still got love for him though)

    Looked like we took out the King's confidence early when we bomb away from 3s. Especially Mike James was smoking hot. When their jumpers are not falling because our great D, guys tries to go inside, and Mutumbo was right there swatting and getting physical. The problem with Kings they traded away their good post player Webber and Brad Miller hurted himself right before the game.

    Brad Miller always kills us. Maybe with Webber gone, we can give Miller more attention than before. Nevertheless, Miller is a big loss for them.

    Cat shoots 43% (FG), 38% (FT) and 84% (FT) for his career.
    DW shoots 43%, 37% and 78% for his career.

    DW has had 3 seasons where he shot 40% or less from the field and was shooting at 39% with NO this year--Cat has never had a season below 40%.

    -I guess they are a pair of jacks, huh?

    DW is a better role player for the current Rockets but certainly with Sacs big guns out CM is better for the Kings than DW woiuld be. The animosity towards a guy who always played hard and always played for the Rockets for cheap is weird. Not to mentioned he helped us land Mr. McGrady.

    Also, boy that Sac gurad who shot 5/16 and committed 6 TOs must be tripple jack. Good thing we are not stuck with that Bibby fellow trying to run our team.

    Cuttino is definitely a free-wheeling shooter, but personally I thought the bigger irony was the technical Cuttino got at such a critical juncture in the game. While the Rockets were showing calm cool, Mobley was doing his usual complaining dance, clapping at the refs, etc. Top that off with the fact that Steve Francis lost his cool and picked up 2 technicals (and shot 3-15) the same day, and thank you John Weisbrod. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    I actually gained a lot more respect for Cuttino last season... but, given how fragile/tentative Yao Ming has shown to be mentally and how important the guard role is in setting up an intelligent offensive game plan, to think we had Cuttino and Steve as our starting guards in Yao's first two seasons in the league, it's downright scary.

    So talented, so unbelievably dumb.

    I would say one of the problems is SF and CM reinforced their negative tendencies. But if someone had put Cat with Nash or Kidd, or even more so SF with Ray Allen, they would have been scary difficult to play against.

    Why do people keep hating on Mobley. He is not the perfect palyer, but the dude kept the kings alive ( and played his heart out for the Rockets) . Who cares that he had the most shots when players like Peja and Bibby were no shows yesterday. I like him as a player and hopes he will be successful with the Kings.
