    Catch Moochie's half court bomb at the first quarter buzzer? Drained it. Got to love Moochie...

    ... that is unless you're Bryce Drew.

    That was so sweet! Honestly, I think what Moochie's got going for him is that he's a 'true' backup, while Drew's status hasn't really been decided yet (is he a backup, or a starter?). We know Francis is our man (unless he keeps playing like he has the past 3-4 games), I say trade Drew now before his stock drops lower. I like Moochie as a solid backup.

    Poor Bryce. It really seemed like he was starting to find his niche on this team. The problem is, like TheFreak pointed out, Moochie is a real backup. Drew is good enough to be a starter. I hope wherever he ends up, he may have a successful career.

    There is just 'no way' this team heads into next year with 3 quality point guards on the roster.

    by next year though, I'm fearful that Drew's skills will have waned. Rudy wants to end on a good note, and Moochie can do a lot more with less (time) than Drew apparently can.

    On a brighter note, next year's draft is slim for the picking on good pg picks.

    Damn, why this late? I would have loved to have this problem during the Triple-HOF years when one Matt Maloney quarterbacked the club.

    Man, no kidding cabbage. Who could have possibly dreamed that we would be complaining about too many good PG's on the team?

    By the way, how tall/heavy is that guy?

    Yep just think about it, we finally got good PG's and our record stinks.

    Makes you realize that it is truly a BIG MAN'S game.

    Rogers, Cato, Dream, CB4 have probably each missed more games than SA, Francis, Cat and Drew combined. Just not enough of a "healthy" balance between the front court and back court.
