This is really a very simple post. People can blame Cuttino for a loss all they want, but the fact of the matter is, if Cat plays badly, but everyone else plays well, the Rockets will still win. (By the way, Cat is averaging a career high in assists, and should rank in the top 50 in the league.) This isn't to say that Cat doesn't make boneheaded plays sometimes, but if the rest of the team plays well, then that mistake shouldn't have to be a fatal one. Just one player is not enough to kill a whole game. If the Rockets win, everyone shares the victory, and just the same, if they lose, the blame goes all around.
There is already a "Dont Blame Cuttino" thread going on. http://bbs.clutchcity.net/php3/showthread.php?s=&threadid=51259
one player can win or lose a game for the team if he is a major part of the team and makes foolish mistakes down the stretch. mobley is one of the major players for the rockets. if he doesn't play well and continues to jack up bricks, the rockets is going to lose 8 out of 10 games. did you see yesterday game? francis' errant pass caused the the rockets' opportunity to win a game.
