    Could Mobley have made an extra pass to Walt in the final seconds?

    I am not sure... I dont blame Mobes for taking that fadeway. After all, he can make that shot. But exactly how much time was left on the clock? I'm thinkin he could have done a bullet pass to Walt, and then Walt could have put a a really quick layup to tie the game.

    The Rox looked dead in the first half.

    If Francis didnt go out with that ankle sprain, we would have won... he was on a complete tear before that. But then again, so was Van Exel.

    I dont think we were rebounding too well in this game either. Key play: We're down by 1 and one of the guards doesnt block out his man, and the Denver guard gets the rebound and throws it off of Kenny's leg. After that, Lenard drained a 3 pointer puttin the Nugs up 4. That play killed us.

    Random thoughts...

    Francis is an incredible rebounder. MO is playing really well and so is KT. Our young pf tandem is really playing like they're capable of now. Cato had a block. He made his presence felt I suppose, but he didnt look too sharp on offense. No big deal, it's his first game back... I'm looking forward to seeing him more and more; that way we could have some sort of shot blocking when Hakeem goes out.
