    I mean if you look at how say Jason Williams and Chris Webber play together , You think we could easily have that hear in Houston , The PF postion hasn't been the same since Barkley went down , We need Maurice Taylor to come in a grab those Offensive Rebounds , Swing the ball out and hit that 20 foot jumper . Steve Francis' role will not decline with the arrival of Taylor but will increase , Francis could have easily had 8 or 9 assists per game had Hakeem , Shandon , or Kenny Thomas hit more of their shots . If Francis can get the ball to Taylor for the easy layup in crunch time , we should be able to compete in the Fourth Quarter . We all saw the Colapse of the Houston Rockets come in the Fourth Quarter , Francis couldn't handle the whole load , Kelvin Cato wasn't reliable , Shandon Anderson wasn't experienced enough , Cuttino Mobley was cold from sitting on the bench .Walt Williams was the only guy out there who could hit the Three from the corner , Dan Langhi could easily be a steal in the draft if he can hit the open shot night in and night out . Taylor must do one thing to help his team win , grab those rebounds we are all so used to seeing Chuck wrestle with anyone just for the board , If Maurice Taylor can show that kind of intensity we could very well win 50 games

    True. Mo's rebounding will be more of a factor than his scoring. what he needs is Mo-tivation, that's all.

    younger, newer, cooler, fairer, happier, funnier...

    Our very own 1-2 punch. Or to personalize for the Rockets, our Wink-Mo punch.

    Stockton-malone is so...old. [​IMG]

    As long as Taylor keeps a cool head and dont cause any problems he will be a great fit here in H-town.

    I'm keeping my eyes crossed as well, even though it makes driving on 59 south during rush hour a challenge. [​IMG] LOOK OUT FOOL!
