    All the Mobley haters can take a seat. If it wasn't for him, we would still be in the shi--er.

    Oh thank lawdy!!!!!!!!!!! This was truly a great game. In the final minute, my heart was pounding extremely loud. Eddie Griffin is the real deal. Walt needs to stay in Houston for a LONG time....he's been consistent just about all year.

    I'm just waiting for all of those who say that Cuttino is the reason for the Rocket's(past:D ) losing streak to eat their words. I Love Cuttino!!
    Sorry about the rambling...I'm just so damn happy!!!!

    Is the NBA.COM box score incorrect or did we just NOT use our bench tonight?? I was unable to see game but like Willis had 7min? T Mo with 6? What surprised me was Tierre, only getting 5 minutes?? I guess moochie took care of his business?? AHH this can't be true, the bench minutes go 7, 6, 5, 4 - willis, morris, brown, langhi - anybody?? :confused:

    ...And as the Blazers fall to the Suns, the Rockets close in on just 6 games behind the 8th place Blazers with 54 whole games still left to play!

    Those numbers are about right LTF. Cato was hustling very well, and Mooch was dishing the ball well. TMo was off tonight airballing two 3's, and Langhi came in for a few minutes looking confused. The same 5 were out there tearing it up pretty much the whole game! :)

    Yep, that's correct.

    Why? The Rockets have three days off, and don't even have to worry about travel. The guys in the game had it going, and things ground to a halt in the second quarter.

    For some reason I don't feel horrible when Cato is on the floor right now (except when he has the ball). He actually goes for boards and is playing some D and looking like a real live NBA player. Not a 42 million dollar player, but at least a real player. He had that nice play with about a minute left where he tapped the offensive board to himself and then back to Griff (apparently he was trying to knock it off Mason but at least he was thinking out there) and then with about 35 seconds left he didn't go for any of Mason's pump fakes and eventually helped Mason miss a little jump hook. He even made a few crucial free throws after choking away like 3 in a row.

    And damn does this win feel good. I was freakin' when Cassell hit that 3 to tie it but then Fast Eddie stepped up and we actually did it. Thank you Santa.

    Finally they stop forcing shots and start passing the ball and look what happens?

    I would NEVER b**** at Mobley if he played like this all the time, and I don't mean making his shots, I mean under control and letting the game come to him.

    As for Griffin he is always in control, I like him more and more each day.

    Who here thinks Rudy might tell KT, take your time to heal?
