    Cat guarded Vince two games in a row and outscored him twice.

    Well done Cat, and I especially like the end of the 3rd duel tonight. Vince showing the cross-over that gets him nowhere, while Cat keeps it simply and just blows by Him with No Fancynity...just speed!!

    As sure fire Mo' was tonight, Cat gets my game ball for guarding Vince again all night and getting the better of him.

    The best part of it is that off the court Cat and Vince are friends.

    I thought it was funny at halftime when Craig interviewed Mobley, and Mobes told him how he and Vince were collaborating before the game how the humidity give Vince trouble with his legs.

    sigh!

    no one wants to talk about Cat vs Vinsanity


    maybe Clutch should just waive me; I want to go to a contender's BBS.

    if this was a playoff game the duel would be a classic of all time. [​IMG] Seriously though, has anyone ever seen worse defense then what carter was showing tonite. yeah cat was blowing past him and hitting jumpers on him all nite long, but Carter doesnt have the slightest idea on how to play some defense. maybe someone needs to tell him that its okay to move his feet laterally when trying to guard someone. he would just stand there with his arms outstrected. mobley did actually look like he wanted to play defense.

    It sure was fun to see live. Why would a Rocket's fan say something like Vince Carter made it easy for Cat, like anyone could blow past him. And where was Vince blowing by Cat?

    Is it so hard to simply say that Cuttino is too fast for anyone to guard him one on one. Fancy cross-overs are unnecessary when blow by speed makes all defenders just wave goodbye.

    I hope you at least had fun watching it. I did.

    Heypartner when did I say it wasnt fun? It was really fun watching it live. I was yelling my lungs out everytime Cat took Carter to school.

    I admit Cat is too fast for anyone to guard him. But comeon! Carter probably couldnt guard Maloney! [​IMG]

    As far as I know Carter only took Cat to school once. That one handed jam from the right side. Cat on the other hand was constantly taking Carter to school and draining jumpers rite in his face.

    Did u see Cat telling Shan to quit helping him on defense? On one play Shandon came over to help Mobley guard Carter, and Mobley tried to wave Shandon away! [​IMG]

    I thought Mobley looked great againist Vince, but lets not get carried away because Vince is obviously hurt. I`m not taking anything away from Cat, but lets keep it in perspective.

    Heypartner; I've never been a cat apologist....I've always been a cat supporter. ALWAYS.

    I just do it more quietly now. I don't have it in me to always stick up for him anymore. I think Dreamshake (99) just flat wore me down.

    Anyway, thanks for the great job you are doing. Who would have thought we'd get such an awesome player late in the second round.

    heyp,

    It is no surprise that Cat outplays him because he is a better player. Seriously, as far as basketball skills go, Cat is better. Imagine if Cat was 6'8", had the same speed, and could jump as high as Vince. Mobes would be even more unstoppable. Keep in mind that he is short for a 2.

    Mobes has better D, quicker hands, a better outside shot, and can jack 'em up just like Carter.

    Most people do have better D than Vince. That is the one thing that people fail to see in Mr. Amazing, his defense sucks.

    Rockets03,

    cool. it was fun. One thing that sucked for me was 5 guys (newbie's in our area) sat down and one guy b****ed loudly at every single Rocket failure. E.v.e.r.y one (except for anything Francis did). He never cheered, just b****ed like he was auditioning to be a Yankee's fan.

    That is the Darkside. Screaming at big heart guys like Mo', Cat and KT when they don't make a shot, but never cheering for them!

    Sorry Rockets03, I was a little pissed to have a cheer-vs-boos night at the game, and I thought you were bringing it into this thread somewhat. Glad you enjoyed the duel. It was great.

    Pole
    Carrying the Rabid fan flag on this bbs is a piece of cake compared to withstanding the Darkside at games. Paying as much as we pay, then having someone sit down next to you or behind for one game and act like a Yankee fan who must boo the home team to be cool, just sucks and wears me down. Venting against Mobley on the BBS doesn't compare to booing live and screaming obsenities that the players can hear.

    The Darkside Live wears me down. That's one reason I love throwing jabs at the venters on the board. It is my form of venting against the boo-ers at the game.

    Damn that sucks.

    Booing negatives is so easy, and it makes some fans feel like knowledgeable bball minds. But you know what: Cheering positives is so much easier and SOOOO much more fun.

    I guess some fans are too cool to cheer DE-FENSE...DE-FENSE. Man, the players really like that, and it has a way of getting them psyched to run fastbreaks for our pleasure.

    The more cheering we do; the more fastbreaks we will see. I gua.RUN.tee!

    I wonder why we are the only team in the NBA to have a better road record than our home record.

    Pole,

    what's that record vs. the east on the road vs. the west on the road? What's the record at home vs. the west vs. on the road vs. the west?

    How many games have we played at home vs. the west?

    Heypartner were u at the Sac game? You should have seen what some dumb ass fans were doing. One dude kept on yelling at Rudy "Rudy take Mobley out of the game", "Rudy your Substitutions suck". That dude was going on and on. Then Cat missed a few shots and another guy started. After making a big shot, Cat runs to halfcourt really quick and for a split second looks up at the second guy yelling and FLICKS HIM OFF! hehe...

    I can't get into the cheer-vs-boo battles. Then the Darkside hatas will just escalate there b****ing as they do on this board. I can get pleasure taunting them here on the bbs, but not at the game. I just don't want to give them more reason to b**** louder at our boys *LIVE*. And I find that they will when you taunt them. They'll look for more negativism to taunt back at you...the damn "i told you so" bashes as we see on this bbs a lot.

    They act just like an opposing fan...just like one...the Darkside!

    Damn auditioning Yankees fans or something!!

    Yeah I think thats where I was at. Me season tickets are in 225 but I usually move around. Was that u yelling "Defense" at the top of your lungs? I wasnt that loud during the game. A month long sore throat has brought my cheering down a little bit [​IMG]
