    Moochie is handling the ball and stevie isn't getting touches on some possesions. Moochie has to go because whenever he's in there the offense stagnates.

    I also think KT, Griffin, and MoT are having trouble finding their touch because of a lack of minutes. Its hard to find your rhythm when you don't play the minutes you're accustomed to playing.

    We need to trade either KT or MoT for a combo gaurd. I'm not saying we'd do this or should do this but Portland has Daniels, Mcinnis and Stoudemire. Any way we could get Daniels or Mcinnis from them? Any way we could could get a eisley or ward. I don't care who it is.....they have to be better than Moochie.

    Problem with KT is that he still think he is the "Star" from New Mexico. That is where he went to college and was the #1 option there. KT needs to just rebound, pass and play good defense and he will be fine. But Moochie is hopeless, he needs to go, but it is impossible to trade him.

    The reason that we can't close out games is because Mooch handles it in the clutch, and Steve stands in the corner. Steve should handle the ball!

    freethrows anyone? We would have won most of the close games if we could just hit some freakin freethrows.

    Exactly! Why the he** is Moochie trying to make plays while steve is in the corner!!!???

    The other post is also correct....If we would've made free throws we would've won the Phoenix, LAC, and Portland games regarless of how bad we played.

    Because Rudy is a terrible coach and he thinks that Moochie is like Bobby Jackson.

    Well I do not know about the idiot comment but if Cat were not hurt, Mooch would most likely not be out there.

    Having a player that averages 3 points per game handle the rock in the end of the game, instead of a player that averages 26 a game is stupid.

    Because Stevie may not do better - he may just just dribble out the clock, force an offensive foul or pick up his dribble too early allowing him to be double teamed - then turn the ball over AGAIN!

    The fact is that although Stevie Franchise is light years ahead of Moochie in talent and scoring - he is presently no better than moochie in decision making (and that is the bitter truth). You do not have to be on ESPN or break you markers ankle or make the fans go uuuuh and aaaah to make yourself feel good about yourself. Win! Just win - no matter what it takes.

    I would not be against a deal with Portland if and only if we ended up with McInnis!!! He has the potential to be a great Guard that can play the point or the two. He could at least keep the Rox on an even level when Steve goes out something that Moochie has never been able to do. If this is not possible I want Tito from the Reserve to play thew back up instead of Moochie, he cant be as poor as Moochie Norris.
