    I saw ol' Mo on a piece about the USA losing at the WC's. He said that that will be a future question on jepordy. Anyways, he actually looked skinier than the Mo Taylor of old. Anytime, the news goes to Westside Mo is always there practicing. Maybe he knows they're coming, or maybe he was serious about what he said at the press conference for his contract. " He wants to take his game to the next level". Dude, must have got a hold the Nutty Professor juice.

    I didn't say anything about him kicking Kenny's lower region, all I said was the guy looks in really good shape. So don't get ahead of yourself. The only reason KT got those minutes was because of Mo's bad luck, I think Mo's game would have been a steady incline and still going as we speak. We'll just have to see how it all plays out. Then again, Eddie (God Willin') will be better than both of them put together.

    My whole message is backwards in that last post. Sorry. But I stick by the Eddie statement.

    Thats great Mo is slimming! I expect him to start around 10 games into the season( wishful thinking, because in reality KT put up better numbers than MO as a healthy Rocket).

    Well, considering Kenny got more shots, more minutes, and only averaged about a half a point more and less than one rebound more per 48 minutes, I'd hardly say KT's numbers send Mo to the bench.

    I could not agree more. MoT will be the starting PF until EG is ready..period.

    Definitely MoT starts game 6.

    Game 6 starting lineup:

    Ming, I hope
    Mo
    Rice
    Cat
    Franchise

    Cato
    KT
    Griff
    Mooch

    Boki at the end of the 2nd & 3rd qtr for 3 min ea. Rotate on that for a while and we will screw a lot of teams out of wins this year
    :D

    Well do you think if this report is true, that Kenny T is out?

    PS not to mean that the Truth doesnt know what he is talking about.

    Ok Mo. I admire his game, think he can improve and maybe Yao might be able to help him defensively. I admire Kenny's hustle on the D end, we still have rough mismatches in the West with Duncan, KG, C-Webb, Dirk et all until Eddie's grown. PF in the West is a huge headache defensively and Mo, though taller than Kenny hasn't shown me enough effort on the defensive end. Then again, considering the guys he's up against he probably plays D better than Franchise, Cat and well, Rice doesn't play defense. I don't think signing Mo was a bad idea at the time, but he's got a lot to live up to, and thus far er.... but if he breaks out this year, we are damned scary. But if E. Griff breaks out (too much to ask) we're just painful.

    Tough desicion. The question is who which one is willing to have their minutes cut down when Eddie emerges. I think Kenny wouldn't mind he just wants to be here , but I think Mo thinks he can be a superstar(not in a bad way) , so it would be harder for him. I don't mean to count the eggs before they hatch ( Eddie) but how can you deny that guy.

    Glad to hear it. I always liked seeing Mo Taylor start a game and go off in the 1st quarter.....hope he can keep it going all game.

    It's encouraging to hear that he is looking fit.It's still going to take him some time to get back in form because he hasn't played for one year.

    Dont be surprised if kenny dont ask for big Money, I just heard that Najera was asking for a large sum of money to keep playing ball in Dallas, I think Kenny is much better than him, So would Kenny be asking for a whole load of money?

    Mo is very good, I wonder if he will be faster since he laid down the weight?

    MY 400th post!!

    we need a exact weight to determine if he is faster.
