    So Kevin 'What's a Pass?' Willis wants to talk about ball movement and unselfish play. I can only guess who he wants to see get more touches and passes. (Hint: His first name is 'Kevin', and his last name is 'Willis'.)

    Anyone else cringe when:

    1. Mooch dribbles for more than 4 seconds, because that seems to be his 'pass threshold' and at that point, if he still has the ball, he's going to dribble the clock out and look for his own shot,

    2. Kevin Willis gets the ball, because he shoots it EVERY TIME! regardless of the defender or where he's at on the floor,

    OR

    3. Eddie or Kenny takes a 3?


    Just checking.

    crash5179, your right on your topic.

    Moochie is trying to act like Steve Francis and Steve Francis he is not. It's hard to figure out
    how the Rockets should play right now the way things are going. However, if Mooochie has wide open team mates, no matter what their shooting % is, he should pass them the ball and allow them to
    make a mistake if need be. C'mon guys the Rockets have dug themselves a deep hole and the rookies and young guys available should get as much playing time and chances possible. I live and die with the Rockets, but getting better takes time with a young team.

    I hope that Moochie realizes that he benefits this team by being the player he was last year for us and not try and become someone that he is not. Mobley has become a better passer in certain plays and is playing better than before. I just hope that the Rockets use this experience as a lesson and learn something from it. Here's to next year and possibly a high lottery pick. :)

    It's always been funny to watch the Mobley apologists flock to anything that isn't rainbow pleasant about Cat, but crispee, Smeg, verse... are you really this stupid?

    "It takes one to know one"? That's just ... well, dumb. If it <i>takes</i> a Mobley hater to <i>know</i> a Mobley hater, then what the hell are you guys, who make a living labeling me and anyone else who doesn't make a daily purchase of a Cuttino Happy Meal <i>exactly</i> that?

    Somehow I doubt this dawned on you.

    You didn't r.e.a.l.l.y. seriously believe Willis was talking about Mobley.

    That is what I thought was funny.

    Let's see, Griffin hasn't passed the ball yet, everyone is yelling at Moochie, Torres as passed it twice (but he can't understand English), and Willis is the black hole.

    Somehow, I doubt this dawned on you.

    And don't fool yourself, if I am a Mobley Apologist, that makes you a Mobley Hater according to the reflexive property of BBS logic.

    Torres does pass it, Cuttino also passes it but only to CERTAIN teamates. Griffin does NOT pass it. Moochie also only passes to CERTAIN people.

    They need to get everyone involved, or they will just keep on losing.

    YEEEEHAWWW !!!

    ill admit it im a mobley fan but his play vs miami was downright awful and he and his fans know it, i remember numerous times he had a man underneath open but instead jacked up a fadeaway, one in particular was griffin was about 3-5 feet from the bucket uncovered on the left side of lane and mobley shook him off and bricked a fadeaway, dont get me wrong i like mobes and all, but to me he played very poorly vs miami

    Apparently logic doesn't work on you.

    I saw the heat game and griffin shot his shots. He does not touch the ball much so as a rookie he needs to try to take advantage of the obertunity. And for willis, he does what a big man is suppose to do, take it into the other big man. Also, he doesnt get the ball much. I wish Cato was even half as agressive as Willis. All this shows me is that Willis is a loyal player and im glad that with Francise out he's takin the leadership role. And as 4 mooch and mobley, if mobley shots a lot im fine wit that because our main guy (Francise) is out. plus he is a SHOOTING guard. Mooch is a point guard. A really great point guard will probably get double digit assits each game. It doesnt matter if u think they wont make the shot, if u dont give the other players a chance t prove themselves they will never have confidence in themselves.

    Have no problem criticising Mobes when he has a bad game, but no matter how well he plays you always pick out something negative.

    This really shows us that Steve Francis is very good at making this team better, much more so than his stats would imply (although they´re not bad).
    Francis is as I said very good, but he too; like Mooch, Cat , and Walt (though he doesn´t pass that much) likes to pass the ball a lot to certain teammates more than to others (for non basketball reasons).

    Who the hell told Moochie he was a star?

    Only on the Rockets can a CBA player have enough authority to not trust another player.

    Incredible!

    "Apparently logic doesn't work on me." hmmmm.....Are you missing what I meant by BBS Logic. Or do you actually define it....hmmmmmm.

    Mobley Apologists like me really call themselves Mobley Lovers. And Mobley Haters like you really call themselves Mobley Rationalists. We are Lovers and Rationalist in our mind, but not according to BBS Logic. BBS Logic polarizes. Similarly, Francis Apologist really call themselves Francis Lovers, while Francis Critics call themselves Francis Rationalists. (And many of us have been called Francis Hatas.)

    So, if I am a Mobley Apologist rather than a Lover, and you are a Mobley Rationalist rather than a Hata,
    then I am a Francis Rationalist, and you are a Francis Apologist. Do you want to be thought of as a Francis Apologist. No! So, BBS Logic allows me to call you a Mobley Hata and a Francis Apologist.

    blasphemy, you say! There are no Francis Apologists, because he is mistake free.

    hmmmmmm.....if your posts rarely mention Francis mistakes and groan on and on about Mobley, then who is the Apologist versus the Hata. What is BBS Logic? Is it Reflexive?

    Can you be rational, and me not?

    I guess so, or is it that apparently your BBS logic doesn't work on me....hmmmmm.

    Crispee...one thing is absolutely for CERTAIN.


    As objectively as I could possibly ever take you...You are the single greatest Mobley Apologist, Lover, superstar maker in the world. NO dont argue, you are.

    For as much as a superstar you claim Mobley to be, and for as legitimate a "All star" you try to make him sound, I know this.

    You put 4 scrubs and a superstar on a team and your good for at least one win amongst some of the lame competition the Rox have face during this losing streak.


    Logic never has worked on you Crispee. Theres real life logic, then theres crispee logic. Believe what Im saying or your wrong. You claimed to once be a "Rudy hater too". I filed that away with your "Trust me the Mavs will still suck" and your "Iso play works 75 percent of the time" crap you tried to spew long ago.
