Was I correct or was it my imagination that ?.......

For the last Game I was out of town but got to see the second half at D&B. I was wondering if anyone else noticed what I saw?.... Mo Taylor seemed to be the only Rocket with any ZEST, HEART or DETERMINATION to play like he was realy in the Game.The rest seemed to be content to be soft,and playing like the game did not require them to be using all athletic ability or Basketball IQ. The Cavs controled the Game and Steve Francis was giving into himself when his opposite number was showing him up. Team Defence was not a feature of the Rockets Game. Why are we paying these Guys so much money, they hardly ever seem to play like they trust one another?

First of all, I don't pay anybody. Second how do you know who trusts who on the court? Just b/c Mobley won't make the extra pass doesn't mean he has no trust, he is just very confident that all his shots will fall.

You need to watch the Games and see all the selfish play! The Guards are selfish, because they dont trust their Teamates! Anyone can see that, even an analysist like me.

I really don't think lack of trust is an issue here. Both SF and Cat are narcissistic players who enjoy watching themselves more than anything else. If given a chance, they will put up 40 shots a game just like Kobe.

Yetti, trust isnt the problem.

I vividly remember a downcourt pass from Steve to Yao that was intercepted. Why would Steve try to pass the ball to him in the final seconds of a game if he didn't trust him?

I am with gregonomics on this one - some of them guys were playing as if time of possesion counted for 1 point. I bet you Eddie thinks that shoting airballs from 3-point range counted towards his Brake Check deal.

Mo Taylor with heart? That is funny. I have never seen Mo dive for a ball. Heck, he takes two seconds to get a shot off. Don't give him the ball with less than 2 seconds on the clock because he won't release it in time.
