    The lack of "o" -- PARTICULARLY AT HOME -- is unacceptable.

    Kudos to Mobley last night (vs. Seattle). And E-Pie had a good night behind the arc. But Steve's low shooting % and Yao's low number of shots are killing this team.

    How is this team 27th in the NBA in scoring? How is that possible?

    The same Mobley who supposedly plays great defense had a good game last night?:confused:

    Stats:
    Francis - 461 attempts, 39.3% shooting.
    Cat - 394 attempts, 43.7%
    Yao -- 337 attempts, 51%
    JJ - 302 attempts, 39.7%
    MoT - 249 attempts, 47%
    Cato - 176 attempts, 39.8%

    Cato shoots less than 40% and a good # of his shots are point blank???

    Yao shoots 51% and has 130 less attempts than Steve?

    Let's get it to the d@mned post (Yao or MoT) every freaking time we have the ball. Period. If the post player can't get an open shot, he'll pass out of it (the double). Work it around the horn to an open shooter (preferably Cat). And come on. 3 of our starters can't even shoot 40%?!? No wonder defenses can send the cavalry down on Yao.

    Ray Lewis shot about 30% for the game. Cat shot over 40, near 50%. Cat did a good job of cutting to the basket as well as shooting the midranger. For me he was the only bright spot last night (vs. Seattle).

    Er, Allen. And my bad, he had a good shooting % too.

    Cat shot 42%, Ray shot 43%, and grabbed 8 rebounds, and rebounds is what killed the Rockets last night. Cat didn't have a terrible game, but he wasn't a bright spot.

    Ray Lewis probably would shoot for less than 30% in an NBA game. He doesn't seem like a basketball player.;)
