    Exactly 2 of Francis's shots came off of offensive rebounds (tips in the first few seconds of the game).

    That means he's 1-6 otherwise, and his 1 made basket came off a sweet hand-off from Yao.

    Sorry, I'm not impressed. IMO, not a coincidence Rockets makin' this little run with Francis out.

    Yao is playing poorly....shooting outside shots when he should be in the paint!

    see how useless taylor is. he does not hustle, does not rebound, inconsistent shooting, cannot even defend. they should ship him out?

    You have to be an idiot if you think the Rockets are better without Francis. I hope you aren't saying that. We were 2-25 without him last year. He was the only reason we beat LA in January. He had 44 pts.

    1. Why is Madsen Scoring?
    2. Why are our starters on the bench, especially Yao?
    3. Has Rudy gone MADDDDDDD :mad: :mad:

    What the hell? I thought we were watching the basketball game tonight, not making a life judgement about Francis's value. This isn't a It's a Wonderful Life. Francis is an incredibly valuable player at times. He's probably a great son. And he was awesome at Maryland. And as a kid, he was probably great at his friends' birthday parties.

    So what? He's not impressive tonight, yet, and he's taken way too many jumpers NOT WITHIN THE FLOW OF THE OFFENSE.

    Awesome block and tip off of the Laker guard by Cato to get Houston possession of the ball. Great energy and more smarts than most of the other Rockets. Can't believe I would be typing that....

    Griffin has looked tentative with the ball his entire career including the first quarter tonight. Could we get a cojones transplant from Cuttino into Griffin?

    well he is force to take outside shot because there is no play for him but to go one-on-one just like what they run for every single player.

    blame rudy t. it is obvious that his system is a free-for-all system. he lets his best players do their own thing. NO OTHER PLAYS AT ALL!!!

    how the hell is madsen scoring? basically got some layups.
    the rockets came back w/ yao, franchise and the other starters on the bench that's why he's on the bench.
    rudy was doing the right thing. the bench was playing better than the starters

    Mo has played about 3 mins. He is 3 for 3 FG. He has 3 Rebounds and 1 Assist. So there.
