    Everyone here was talking about how they thought that Mobley would end up as the Rocket's leading scorer this season, because Franchise was in a 2 game scoring slump. I guess everyone was wrong, because Franchise is currently .39 points per game ahead of Cat. At one point, Franchise's scoring average was only .04 points per game ahead of Cat, but in the last 2 games, Franchise has stepped it up, scoring 28 against Atlanta, and 26 last night against the Jazz. Before those two games, Franchise had scored only 5 in Dallas and 16 in Seattle. But Cat's 6 points last night really messed up his chances for the team lead. I think that by the end of the season, Franchise will average 20.15 ppg and Cat will average 19.6 ppg. What do you all think?

    Sorry Clutch; I had to copy the recap headline "the Mo and Fro Show" into my username cause I loved it!

    Now if only he could hit his free throws. I did a little math, and found that Steve is shooting only 77 percent from the line since the All-Star Break, just 122/158. 77 percent is decent, but certainly not at the level he was shooting earlier. What has happened to him? It seems that in every game, he misses at least two free throws. Earlier on, he'd miss two free throws in an entire month. His free throws have cost the Rockets a few games this year. Any guesses as to why he is shooting so poorly?

    Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon is the greatest player in the history of basketball. If you disagree, you are not a Rocket fan.

    He's worn out, he has basically had to do every thing for the team this year: score, rebound, dish, etc.
