    I don't know if you guys saw it, but Jones was holding Francis' jacket in the 3rd OT when he was jumping up and down to keep him off of the floor once he had fouled out.

    Francis just kept jumping up and down like a puppy on a leash. [​IMG]

    Dang, did you see Steve jumping after Moochie hit the 3 in regulation? DAAAAMN! He jumped up higher than 48 inches you can be sure of that.

    Note: It was my cowhead. I started the cowhead craze, and my cowhead inspired Mooch to step up and bring us a victory. Thank you for your time. :D

    If you can get me a VHS copy of that, I can turn it into digital video and let everybody see some of the funnier stuff.

    Well, on second thought, better not. The last time I did that was when Vince Carter dunked OVER some guy and, within hours, the Olympic Committee and NBC sent me a cease and desist email! [​IMG]

    I was sitting right behind the Rockets bench and noticed Jones restraining Francis too! I also noticed that every time Cato was taken out, he was curse and throw a fit. He even threw a towel behind him that hit some lady in the face. Moochie as we all know was amazing. Its fun observing the the players on the bench actions. At one point in the fourth quarter, Rudy was yelling at francis "your not playing team ball" up in his face. Francis responded something which ignited Rudy in to saying," Im trying to tell you do it the right way...come on Steve." But all was good as Steve and Rudy hugged at the closing seconds as steve told Rudy,"Good game coach." Carlos and Walt were a having a grand time yelling expletives while O'neal was shooting those FT's. BTW, DID anyone record the game which i can have a copy?? I will pay!!

    I saw that too! I think I'm officially on the Get Rid of Cato badwagon. I was watching him during pregame and was he working on his shot? Yes he was, his 3 point shot!! What a waste of time that is, he was just playing around with Colson, not taking anything seriously. Then I realized he was gonna start this game, what kind of bs is that? I could understand Los heaving 3's but not Cato.

    Man that's good to see, that tells you right there and Cato's head is in the game and he knows the Rockets need him. Man the Rockets were nasty last night, were they foaming at the mouth! [​IMG]

    Man, I kept looking for you. I saw a women with 5 seats: two boys and an eldest daughter get up and leave from the 7th row, so I thought that was you.

    Were you in the middle section? I was the guy who was running around the aisle getting high fives.

    I think Francis was leading the "MOO-CHIE MOO-CHIE" chant.

    No, I was in the last section before the curve sections start. And my daughter didn't go, it was my two boys, a (male) friend of mine, and myself. I was gonna yell "Heypartner" really loud and see if anyone turned, but by the fourth quarter, the crowd was too loud and my voice was going fast!

    "I also noticed that every time Cato was taken out, he was curse and throw a fit"

    And we're complaining about this????????

    Make up your minds... First you say Cato, doesn't care, and when finally shows some fire, you guys complain about it!

    Remember this, Olajuwon himself was somewhat of a head case in the beginning of his career...

    I'm not saying Cato is the next Olajuwon, but what I am saying is don't be hypocritical just to criticize Cato...

    He played pretty well yesterday 8 points, 11 boards and 2 blocks in 38 minutes...

    Who's to say he was mad at Rudy?? I bet he was mad at himself for being in foul trouble... If this is the case, I'm glad to see a new Cato...

    Geez, quit dissing the guy when he actually shows up to play...
