    And ralph sampson was a point guard in a center's body.

    I'm not so sure that it is a positive that Mo has the skills of a small forward in the body of a power forward. We need Mo to bang down low and to get the important rebounds. I certainly can't imagine Mo trying to cover the small forwards in the league. He just isn't fast enough.

    Speaking of Ralph, he looked pretty awkward when he was being honored as one of the past NBA All-Star MVPs. What a wasted career.

    btw,

    hakeem was often referred to as a sf in a center's body.

    most players like that either revolutionize their position, or forever struggle.

    I think he meant that MO had the outside shot of a 3. MO is definitly a 4, just wish he would play like one more often.

    That was a great interview for Steve. That's the first time that I have listened to Rome since he made fun of Charles when he had his career ending injury. He made the comment that he probably did it on purpose in Philly to end his career there. He's a jerk.

    I love Steve and all, and I thought he handled himself great on the interview.

    The one thing that bothered me a bit was that he really didn't give Hakeem enough props. He said that the Rockets could win and still get Dream involved. But anyone who has watched the Rockets’ last four games compared to the rest of the season knows that Dream must be involved and get touches for the Rockets to truly thrive. Francis didn’t seem to have bought into this completely. He sounded more like he thought Dream should get the ball more as a point of respect than out of a need to do so to have the Rockets perform at their best.

    Am I just being paranoid here, or did anyone else sense this?

    The thing with that was that Francis was responding to Rome, who tried to set up a conflict between getting Dream involved and winning, and Francis said there was no conflict.

    The Rockets will be the NBA champions. Believe.
