    Francis and Mobley are definitely not the best backcourt in the NBA. Ray Allen and Sam Cassell would eat them alive. Baron Davis and Wesley are at the least as good as them.
    I think Baron Davis is a much better player than Francis and will be in the future also.
    Hell, in terms of effectiveness, Jason Kidd and Kerry Kittles are superior to Francis and Mobley. Mobley is a ball hog and the farthest thing from a team player.
    Nash and Finley are about equal as them.
    Payton and Barry is another backcourt combo that is bettter also.
    I think Steve Francis is a great player but I would rate Jason Kidd, Gary Payton, Baron Davis, Andre MIller and maybe even Marbury in front of him.
    Dump Mobley

    Ha,
    Im a huge Rockets fan also. I just think Francis and Mobley have a LONG way to go. Baron Davis is much more proven than Francis. Andre Miller in my opinion is one of the top players in the NBA. Mobley needs to be shown the door. We would be better with someone else.

    I'm calling out austinrocket as a bi-uid troll. Sept 1999 with 36 posts recycling two threads of the last two days...yeah right.

    AustinRocket- totally agree... 100 percent. Dump Mobley, Steve stays, he's skillz are the exact same as Baron Davis's but Baron is a little mor mature at this point. Austin you tell it, I got your back on this one.....

    Hey whoever,
    Well you guys might be offended by my comments about Francis. But he and mobley haven't done anything other than have as many shots as they want. Granted I think Francis is a good player but Mobley, please.
    I'd take Brent Barry or even Richard Hamilton over Mobley.
    Here is a list of better all around 2' than mobley
    Iverson, Eddie Jones, Kobe, Finley, Ray Allen, Reggie MIller, Brent Barry, Kerry Kittles, Allan Houston, Richard Hamilton, Jason Richardson, Doug Christie, and I'm sure im leaving out someone.

    And yea I have been a member on here since 1999. I don't see the need to post unless something interesting is going on, plus I have college to worry about so......

    You can take your 36 posts and put them where the sun doesn't shine. What are you on Like Wesley has anything on Cuttino, and Davis is superior to Frances. Who has the better front court? Take your bags to LA you band wagon fan. No one wants your incites if that's what you call them.

    ha,
    Well, if the Rockets had say Doug Christie at SG, whom you all seem to think is not the player Mobley is, than the Rockets would bea much better team, not to mention doug would probably score near Mobley's output at better %'s. the same goes for just about every other two guard i mentioned.
    as far as bandwagon goes, it has nothing to do with that, the fact is that baron davis is better than steve at this point. Would you say that a guy like Steve Nash shouldn't be a top point guard because he fits the Mavs system well and produces. No. Francis hasnt' done **** yet. Plus he doesn't play hurt. baron hasn't missed any NBA games yet.

    Given the findings of his recent surgery....This is a set-up people. Don't bite on this transparent troll. Feel free to undress his transparency anytime he posts a new thread, though.

    ok cyber nerd,

    You guys obviously don't like anyone saying anything negative about the Rockets. I didn't intend to hurt any feelings.
    Mobley wants Odom because he is one of his boys and doesn't want Ming because it will take the spotlight away from he and Steve. Pretty selfish if you ask me. IF they got Odom, they're team would go nowhere fast. Three immature, me first guys who whine all the time. Lamar would be the most mature of the group. I mean who goes on national television like Steve and Mobley did and say they don't want Yao or Jason, they're not management.

    I don't know the exact injuries that Baron had but i do know that he had a series of injuries towards the end of the year and played very hurt in the playoffs. Tough guy. Guys like him and Iverson are the kind of guys I would want on my team.

    What was the point of that? We already have enough Francis and Mobley haters. I don't think they are THE best, but they are one of the best. I disagree with you, but I can't change your opinion so why bother. No backcourt would eat them alive. I think I think I think....I...I...I....Give me a break, there are alot of good guards, our guards need to be more mature and play "team ball" but they are still one of the best

    I agree with a lot of what he is saying, but I am sure this BBS would figure I would.

    I agree with you Tozai. I just completely disagree with the fact that most of these guys think Cuttino Mobley is a god. I definitely could see Stevie becoming a top 5 player. He is as exciting as anyone in the league to watch and I'm thrilled he's a Rocket. As far as Yao goes, I'm all for the Rockets getting him. Honestly, I like Caron Butler the most out of this draft, but I thinkgetting a potentially great center warrants the risk. I don't see why everyone has to get on me because I haven't posted that much recently, honestly there hasn't been much to post about until now. It's not because I'm a bandwagon fan, hoenstly after the Rockets passed on Rashard Lewis I have been pissed, and still am a little bit. Comeon, Bryce Drew and whoever that other dude was.

    Yep, austinrocket you are totally right. Cutino wants this to be "CLUB ROCKETS" LOL! What was also funny was how he said "Steve and I". He put Steve's name in their to justify it cause Steve is the franchise.... He couldnt say just I. I would say 2 immature players, Steve isnt as immature to me. And all these folks who are calling other fans "Bandwagonfans" and "Haters" Not the case bruh... The truth is the truth and I hate to see the team I watch make what are in my opinion bad decisions. Our backcourt is good, but not top five. Steve is a top five guard but Cutino kicks the back court down to a top ten and that is talent wise only. And that is not hating thats keeping it real!

    Yea you are exactly right on that one. I'm not saying Mobley is the worst player in the league. He is a decent scorer if he has the shots but he isn't a winner. I love the Rockets more than any other pro team, any sport, in the world, but there was a reason that they had the 2nd worst attendance record in the league behind off all teams, Charlotte.
    All you guys say we should get rid of Mo Taylor but I think he and Mobley are about equal in terms of talent. I'd rather have Mo. I like the guy and he left a team to sign with US. Mobley might have done the same in his free agent year but that guy obviously has some big ego issues.
    One dude has my back on this one and I appreciatte it. Do you like Sim league basketball. There is a top league on the Net that I'm in and the website www.ubabasketball.com its good ****. It is one of my favorite things, kills fantasy stuff. Look at the site and tell me if you are interested. There is a big waiting list but let me know if you want in.

    Different people would put Steve anywhere from 1 to 10 on a list of top "point" guards in the L. Most "point" guards are not the traditional pure pg's, but I have no problem with that. I have no problem with Steve's play other than turnovers, and "decision-making" This decision-making develops through experience. He is constantly progressing.

    u851662--How does Cuttino kick our backcourt talent-wise to TOP TEN??? Give me nine sg's better than cuttino talent-wise
