The Rockets were leading by eight at the start of the fourth quarter? What happened? Steve Francis didn't shoot well for three quarters, but Cato, Griffin, Torres, and Mobley contributed. How could Rudy T. let Iverson free? Mobley isn't a good defender then, isn't he?
Excuse me Mobley makes 1 turnover to go with his 25 points and Snow the missed shot on the next possesion anyway. Do Steve's 7 turnovers get a mention!!!!
my vote goes to the "zebras" who listened to Allen "whInerson" complain the entire night, then gave him every crap call down the stretch.
When your PG turns the ball over 7 times you're in serious trouble. This was a team effort. Mobley actually played well save for one turnover. The FT shooting has to improve. The fact that this team had a big lead in the 4th and couldn't score down the stretch is downright scary THAT is what caused us to lose. And who was the drunken crackhead who came up with that play for Moochie? That just sucked the life out of this team. If not for Mobley hitting some clutch shots in overtime to go along with Griffin's clutch defense and steals it could have been MUCH worse in OT. I swear to god this team is sucking the life out of me. They're just finding new, creative, and innovative ways to lose games.
I tell you what Mooch does make me mad when he dribbles the ball to long. I've always hated that about his game.
The Rockets actually played well for three quarters. THe bad thing I think was the substitution decisions of Rudy T. The coach ought to think about how players are doing in the game. He shouldn't just, for example, sit Cato, just because he's CATO. If he's playing well, let him play. Cato actually two alley-oop dunks courtesy of Steve Francis. And not helping on Allen Iverson? He burns the Rockets with 58 points! I think the blame for this loss should be taken by the coach, Rudy T. Sack him.
Lost in this entire mess is once again the crap play of Walt. How the F*** can this guy be starting for this team???????? Even TMo makes Walt look like shhhhh now. At least he rebounds and plays D and passes and does other things generally associated w/ playing team bball. Walt can barely even hit iron on his wide-open looks. How stubborn and loyal to dogsh!t can a man be?? What the hell is Rudy's freakin problem?
Other - missed free throws and Rudy's lack of ability to think outside of the ISO/high pick-n-roll box!!!!
Rudy called the last play, I assume. So I can't blame Moochie for that. Stevie ( most of you Cat "apologists" lol know I'm his biggest fan) was the main culprit tonight. 7 TO's, 25% from the floor. He did nothing to win us the game. If he would have had a decent game (for him) we win going away. I call it like I see it.
i wanna say iverson and all the phantom fouls he gets but thats a sorry excuse so i'll go with free throws which is actually the only reason anyhow.
Are you nuts?? Rudy had to save Cato for the Battle of the Giants: Hakeem vs Cato matchup Wednesday night. OS
