    with the way the rockets are destroying the bucks at the half it seems that the rocks cud in fact be better w/o cat. i hate to say this b\c i love cat to death. but seeing that shandon is playing great b\c hes gettin gthe loooks and is much more efficient than mobley than maybe the rocks are in fact better. This might be a little to early to say and i hope it isn't tru but we'll see how this game turns out and the rest that mobley may sit out in the future.
    peace

    Ouch!!! Round 1 to Smeggy

    ------------------
    The next time I have meat and mashed potatoes, I think I'll put a very large blob of potatoes on my plate with just a little piece of meat. And if someone asks me why i didn't get more meat, ill just say, "Oh, you mean this?" and pull out a big piece of meat from inside the blob of potatoes, where ive hidden it. Good magic trick, huh?

    smeggy, I think he is actually blaming Mobley for the Rockets having a good game. That's right, we should be 10 games over .500 right now if we could just get rid a rudy and mobley.

    Smeggy, here's my real post-jinx factor response to Merlin.

    Merlin, maybe we just OWN the freaking BUCKS.

    yeeeeaaa babe, two crushes!

    that was going to be my first post, but you weren't going to make me jinx the boys.

    btw, do you not have any respect for the jinx factor, basically stating we were going to beat the Bucks after a quarter and a half, just to make a "i blame mobley" point before everyone else.

    sheesh.

    Sure thing HeyP

    Cut Mobley right now and we can go on a Never ending Winning Streak, perhaps we can get Falcor from the NeverEnding Story to carry Cat away.

    Come on guys. Merlin is new and you guys aren't making him feel welcome. Merlin, sorry. This can be a rough crowd at times.

    calm down. notice how i said maybe, i'm jsut offering a theory that i said i'm hoping isn't tru. i just find it interesting how others excel in mobleys absence. and i did say i love cat to death and in no way did i say he shud be cut or traded . i'm just proposing a new perspective on things. jesus i'm a diehard rockets fan like all of you and you have to jump on me just b\c i'm new.

    Merlin, Walt and Shandon play well against the Bucks and they are a very bad defensive team. Against a better defensive team, you need a true scorer like Cuttino, because Walt and Shandon won't score so easily. You have to admit that Walt is definitely more effective when he starts though.

    Geez, what's wrong with you guys lately? If you don't agree, you know the drill, calmly present your arguement and move on. No need to be so harsh to a new guy. Sorry, Merlin. they're just cranky.

    The last time we played the Bucks, Walt had 28-10 I believe and Shandon had 25 pts. Cuttino's absence only hampered us tonight. With him, we blow the Bucks out even worse.

    ------------------
    The Rockets will be the NBA champions. Believe.

    I wasn't insulting you, because the same thing was going through my head. I just think the Rockets can do the same thing with Cuttino in the lineup though. The Rockets are at their best when they play defense, and unlike the Bucks they support alot better when an opponent breaks down one of our defenders. I put the rolling eyes thing, because if you dont know, somebody always blames Cuttino for a loss or criticizes Rudy for not benching him every few games, myself included sometimes. Don't take is personally.

    Yes that is a valid argument t-park. but please note that i'm just proposing this theory that the rockets cud be better without mobley but with their current record with mobley it really doesn't matter. but don't get the wrong idea i love mobley hes my second favorite playerr behind franchise

    Merlin -- don't follow you, man. This was Cuttino's best game yet. This is the first Rockets game I've seen where I don't think Cuttino screwed up once.
