    The guy who started this thread is being sarcastic, but his form of sarcasm isn't very good -- or his way of showing it (delivery) isn't very good.

    If he wasn't being sarcastic...well, what can you say? I'm mean, I'm not the biggest Mobley fan @ all, but that quote clearly shows he's doesn't hate Yao.

    I think the case is...

    Mobley had a some what dislike on Yao Ming but he now realizes that the Rockets needs Yao and the only way for the Rockets to become a playoff contender is to get along with Yao and play a better team ball. (I've also noticed Mobley passing to Yao more often now ).

    ;)

    For those who didn't pick up on/understand the sarcasm:
    Mobley has been bashed a lot on this board for various things. One of the most rediculous was that he had some great jealousy of Yao and he hated him for it. There were several quotes where Cat made observations like he wanted Yao to be more aggressive or Yao was not the same style of player as Hakeem and far too many people took it the way rockbox was showing with this post. This thread is not a dig on Mobley, but rather on the Cat hatas they will reach for anything they can to hate on someone who is an integral part of the TEAM that they claim to be fans of.

    looking beyond this quote,

    I think Mobley has a general problem of articulating what he is actually trying to say. It gets lost somewhere.

    Three things that suck.

    1) People who don't "get" sarcasm
    2) "Look at me" posters who feel the need to post in colors.
    3) The Utah Jazz

    :D...wow. I got a nice reply.

    I was just waiting for the thread starter to apply what he means by his post.
    this is not a terrible thread...there are many that are much worse.

    Yall do realize that whoever started the thread hasn't even replied. What's the point in commenting? Let it go away.

    This should be the last post on this garbage thread.

    Dude...

    That's about the closest thing to praise CAT has ever said about Yao publicly...

    I don't get the jealousy part other than...This is the first sign of praise...
