    It is time that we try Moochie at PG and start Mobley off the bench. Steve has about 6-8 assists but a majority of them go to Cuttino. And we dont really need Steve to run after Rebounds.

    Every commentator I have heard wonders why we don't use Yao's height and talent. And if Rudy has balls he needs to clamp down on this selfish play. I would mandate a minimium of 15 shotsa game for Yao- too bad if we upset egos!

    Just watch Phoenix and compare them to our game or for that matter Golden State recently.

    Something has to give, either ship Cuttino or a coaching change- some of the coaching decisions have been questionable- sitting down players, clock management, rotation.

    And whatever happened to Boki? Why the hell did we pick him just to keep him benched- I just dont get it.

    I'd rather see Posey at the two and Rice starting at the 3. Posey is a good enough defender to play the 2. This gives us great height, and it takes away the duplication of game styles between Francis and Mobley.

    I'd start: Francis, Posey, Rice, Taylor, Yao. Good mix of older players with younger ones (as good as can be), shooters with penetrators, defenders with non-defenders, etc.

    This will never happen though.

    I really agree with this. I don't have a problem with Cat getting lots of playing time... if he doesn't get 30-35 minutes on this team, there's something wrong.

    At the same time, I think Moochie should get more playing time... and more importantly, *strategic* playing time. Get him 20 a night. Start him at PG for 10 minutes in the first, 10 minutes in the 3rd. Just enough time to settle the offense into a flow, and get everyone touches. Francis/Moochie in the backcourt will be dangerous offensively, and should still be able to distribute the ball.
