Hotstreaks... and Coldstreaks

Who's Hot:

Steve Francis: He does it all. Ask him to score 30ppg and he'll do it easy. Ask him to make 10 assists in a game and he'll do it. Ask him to do both in a regular game, and we're stumped...

Shandon Anderson: Can you say "Biatch!!??"
Shandon has been quietly building his #s, and his defensive prowess alone would seem to secure his place here.

Cuttino Mobley: Our favorite player. The man who misses 60% of his shots but who hits 40% from the arc to count...

Mo Taylor: Seems to be a powerful 1st quarter offensive force... Judges are out.

Moochie: CBA Gold. Praise the Man that he fell into our laps.

Kenny Thomas: almost like a small Barkley... Undersized, but agressive. Fast moves, needs to stop shooting 3's. Winning instinct.

Who's Cold: Hakeem, for 3 years running. Walt, despite the occasional 20+pt game. Cato - this guy either has to play or get out of the NBA.

Cato - we all know he can play, bounce, bang, and he can get a 7-8mil contract. But dammit, does he deserve it? He certainly hasn't earned it.

Hakeem - obviously the hardest part to let go. Still not sure he WILL be let go. I think he'll stay.

Carlos Rogers - "Los" - Let the man play.

We pulled the trigger two years ago. Let's see where the hole goes.


------------------

 

I think times have changed. The team has changed. The league has changed...

The rules now favor fast guards who can finish. I don't know any more direct way to say it, but a winning team has to have at least one (probably two) star guards, who will compliment a large star...

Without a franchise guard, and without a star Center, Houston stagnates. But without a Center AND with a star SG (Cuttino) AND a potential star SF in Shandon Anderson... And a great backup PG in Mooch...

We can still fall back on Stevie to toss in the gamewinner...

And not care.
