    It's finally good to hear something good come out of the pens of ESPN writers. It seems like no one on our team has been getting any due respect for their play. We've been descimated by injuries this year, which seems like every year, and our guys have been playing some of their best ball this year. EG has been developing great! I'm really looking forward to the future!

    Sure Mobley believes he should be an All-Star with Francis this year, but it can only be done if we start winning and Mobes keeps up his recent play. He is one of the most underrated players in this league, especially being a 2nd round pick and it's good to see some people, other than us, noticing. :D

    At least he's appreciated outside of Houston.

    This award is so deserved. Of course, the place he is most underrated is on this board, I'm pretty sure opponent coaches do not underrate him.

    hey, they also left Cato off the all-stealing-money team, not too bad.

    I'm glad that Cato was left off the stealing money list too, since he has been playing so much better lately.

    lol j/k. People who try to "talk" ebonics on their computer are nerds. Sure, I use black lingo in life (cause I grew up around it), but not when I post on the messageboard. I'm not stupid and I know how to type and spell words. :cool: hehe

    I honestly feel dumber after reading that. Not because of how it was written just what was written. That was all crap, except for the part on Cat. ESPN pays these guys. I need a job and. . . oh look I can type too.

    Don't act like Cato hasn't stolen money. He has been productive for a portion of this season. When he is productive for a complete season and multiple seasons then we can say he hasn't stolen $42 million dollars from the Rockets.

    Yes,he is an underrated player,I'm glad to have him instead of Dickerson because he has the fighting ability that we need on this team.

    Let's take a moment and recall how it is that contracts work. They are offered by a person, and they are signed by a person. Cato was payed to play basketball, and despite the fact that he didn't do it well for a long time does not mean he was <b>stealing</b> money. Sure, the Rockets screwed up giving him the contract they did, but you act as if Cato is sneaking into the Rockets offices at night and taking the petty cash.

    And to clarify, my previous post had <b>nothing</b> to do with what Cato had done in the past. I was simply expressing appreciation for ESPN having noticed that Cato was playing better, as he has been a whipping boy of their's in the past.

    Why is Rashard Lewis on the "All UNDERRATED team"?????
    I love 'Shard, but I think he is one of the most overrated players in the game....
