Something new from Mo Taylor tonight. Not only did he play a solid game (who was that I saw going for the big offensive rebound setting up Mobley for a three in the fourth quarter?) but he showed some emotion out there. He even slammed the ball to the floor when time expired. Good to see some consistency and emotion from Mo. ------------------ The way to use life is to do nothing through acting, The way to use life is to do everything through being. - Lao-Tzu
Yes I definitely feel that Mo is showing what he is truly capable of. He would have been even better if he had gotten a couple of touches down low in the final minutes. The 19-9 play of Mo, and the excellent play of Hakeem were the only positives tonight. ------------------ "Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning how to put food on their family while being put to death."
With every pasiing game I am becoming lots more satisfied with our new PF. You're right Jeff..he showed a ton of hustle and heart out there tonite..i missed the last two games..has this been a steady trend, or is he still good one game and bad the next?? ------------------ Go Give Blood!!!!
Since his horrendous game against Vancouver, Mo has been extremely consistent averaging 18 pts and 8 rebounds. We need MO of the same. ------------------ The way to use life is to do nothing through acting, The way to use life is to do everything through being. - Lao-Tzu
Actually he had a double-double tonight. 19pts 10rebs 3ast 1blk Go MO!!! ------------------ There is two two types of people in the world: those who finish their sentences,
Outstanding!! If Mo can keep it up..we go from oneof the weakest front-courts to at least 4th in the West..not too bad!! Now if we can keep our guards from shoving their collective heads up their as#es..we might get somewhere this year!! Maybe...maybe no ------------------ 404 File not found.

"He even slammed the ball to the floor when time expired. Good to see some consistency and emotion from Mo." Getting slammed in the face by Shaq with no call can do that to you. But I agree, it is good for him to show some fire, for fire is the fuel that fans the rebounding flame. (How's that for a terrible analogy and mixed metaphor!) ------------------ She hates testicles, thus limiting the men she can admire to Democratic candidates for president. -- John Greenway, "The American Tradition", on feminist Elizabeth Gould Davis
O.K., I'm eating crow! Great game by Mo, but I want more of this, everyday to be exact if he deserves to be here next year with his cap space expectations. ------------------ Sometimes you gotta do the next best thing!
He was even involved while he was on the bench too. I remember watching tonight in about the 3rd quarter when Mo was on the bench that we were on are way back and we made a score and he jumped up and down while he was on the bench waving his towel yelling. Now that is eMOtion. ------------------ There is two two types of people in the world: those who finish their sentences,
NO MO MO....BLEY! ------------------ 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!!

Jeff - Ok I saw him slam the ball at the end of the game, but come on dude admit that slamming of the ball was so weak. The ball didnt even go high, and I didnt think he used all his power. That made me sick, seeing him slam the ball acting like he cared. ------------------ President of the Moochie Norris fan club & Vice President of the Jason Collier fan club!
We lost, that is all that matters...we lost. Mo played great...but I would take the old Mo, if we won. Stupid play down the stretch cost the Rockets yet again. Too young, going to the lottery again. Sigh DaDakota ------------------ If Mankind evolved from Monkeys and Apes, then why are there still Monkeys and apes?
And I hope we get a lottery player in this draft and not some big idiot The kid from Seton Hall would be a perfect pick. ------------------ President of the Steve Francis, Jamal Crawford,Larry Hughes, and Charles Woodson fan club.
da dakota, how can you honestly say were a lottery team. Look were 13-12 not bad and have probably had one of the leagues toughest schedules to date. One game should not be an indicator as if the rockets are lottery bound. Yes they shouldve won tonight but it didnt happen. Out of the possible western conference playoff teams i see us better than minnesota,phoenix and dallas..the season is a long way from over and the way mo taylor is playing the rockets will make a postseason run this yr. ------------------ How Sweet It Is!

dvauthin u see us as being better then the SUNS?!? ------------------ SUCK POLICE!!!!!! To point out individuals or teams that have managed to reach the pinnacle of SUCKINESS!!!!! ----- Rudy T SUCKS! The man needs to figure out: -That its okay to play Shandon in clutch situations. -Mobes doesn't have to get the ball every single time at the end of the game. -That its okay to actually give the ball to Steve or Mo at the end of the game.
call me an optimist rockets03, but id say yes..unless phoenix gets a good center they dont understand how to play defense..steve always torches kidd..with mo playing well i dont see why not..hey look other than sacramento games and the one vs. portland on the road the rockets have played very well against the contenders..and an improved mo makes us even better..plus hes actually a pretty good defensive forward..once shandon gets going west..watch out ------------------ How Sweet It Is!

Optimism is one thing, but a statement like this is absolutely brainless! especially PHOENIX?!?! cut the crap people!! ------------------ Will the REAL Steve Francis, please step up! I repeat....
CompaqC, Do we need to remind you that the season series with PHX is even at a game a piece? How can you say we're NOT better. Don't give me any garbage about Penny and Googs being out. Penny Hardaway is a good player, but he's not gonna carry a team to the Finals on his back. And Googs? I saw the game where he got injured. I'm amazed he can walk let alone play hoops again. About Mo slamming the ball. I replayed the tape and he slammed it HARD. It was a bright spot in a dismal ending. eMOtion lives!!! ------------------ GATER [This message has been edited by GATER (edited December 22, 2000).]
I thought this was another billy squier thread. Mo has the will, but he has no lateral movement, whatsoever. The emotion is not lacking. It's there. But Mo's bone strutcure is marshmallowy, and that hampers, his, already, puppet like reaction. ------------------
