Kobe can't hold Steve either. And what is the "crackers like you" comment supposed to mean? I hope that is wasn't racially motivated. Kobe is overrated for his defense especially in the post. We saw that in both the Western and NBA finals last year. I guarantee you that in the game tomorrow the Lakers will double team either Francis or Cuttino when they are isolated. And I bet they both at least have 20 points each. There is NO ONE in the league that can stop Cutinno but himself. ------------------ Rockets Season Ticket Holder
Ok Cuttino only had 18 and Francis had 23, I was off 2 points for Cat. And like I said AllMighty Hakeem. Kobe can't hold either Steve or Cuttino. Shandon also had him on lockdown tonight as well. 15 points??? Cuttino was the man again down the stretch and at crunch time. ------------------ Rockets Season Ticket Holder
Listen Cat is the bomb....but he is not even close to Kobe...honestly who do u want??? I believe that I personally know Allmightyhakeem...and he is a Rockets hater....but knowing what a fanatic I am...and the type of sh*t I talk he finds it ridiculous that there are people who actually believe alot of the things I say. You have to be a Rockets fan to understand. Anyway....First, Dickerson is nothing like Reggie...are u forgetting how athletic Dickerson is???? I love Cat but time will tell if we kept the right guy because Dickerson is the better atlete, but he may not have "it" Second, Kobe bites MJ so hard it's ridiculous...his mannerisms,moves, etc. Cat is way better than I could have imagined...and he really does have that killer instinct. You can't tell me that almightyhakeem doesn't have a point even if he's a hater..... by the way cracker refers to yellow dope smoking.

Playa...If you are asking me that if there are 10 seconds left in a game and we are behind who would I take then the answer is Cuttino every time. But if you ask me who would I choose to build my team around I would say Kobe because he is a better all-around player. I still say Kobe is overrated though when it comes to playing defense especially in the post. We saw this weakness in the Western conf finals and the NBA finals. And he sure can't defend quick guards like Steve and Cat. Also another luxury that Kobe has is the big fella to help out when he does get beat or misses a shot. And thanks for the definition of crackers. I would have never guessed that lingo. Haven't heard my homeboys use that term. ------------------ Rockets Season Ticket Holder
You are a fuggin idiot. Sorry, I had to get that out of my system. ------------------ Only in America....do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.
Listen Kobe is what..21? I think your point about his post defense, has merit although the only time I have really seen Kobe used is against Steve Smith in the conf. finals last year. Steve Smith is a dream teamer by the way. I seem to remember Robinson, Shaq, and Ewing getting schooled by HAkeem and they are on the top 50 of all time. I simply think the point that the hater was making is that as Rockets fans we sometimes temper our analysis with a bit too much love. I love this team, and Cat is a serious badass...it just sounds funny to haters when we engage in our usual bantor. ------------------
Playah...what would anyone expect? This is a ROCKETS forum. I hear where you are coming from though. Although I try to be objective, my opinions can be rather biased. What can I say I luv DEM ROX. ------------------ Rockets Season Ticket Holder
