    Steve has 10 pts, 6 bounds, 6 assists, and 5 turnovers at the half. The turnovers are very easily prevented, a couple charges, and two double-dribbles, and one bad pass. Classic Stevie right there.

    Turnovers don't count towards a quadruple double

    The dagger at the end of the game - the patented Franchise to Cato alley-oop. Franchise and Hill combined for 63 points.

    The magic are for real and they will be a top 4 team in the east. This team was built for steve with their young guys. They're definitely more fun to watch than our current rockets.

    damn francis and hill just tore them up.


    i can't remember seeing AK47 get torn up like that before. hill was just abusing him.


    they killed the jazz down the stretch. francis was making plays like crazy. even when he was bricking free throws he would somehow end up with the loose ball and do something good.

    so close to the quad double.

    amazingly they are 4-0 agains the west now. just gotta figure out how to beat washington and philly and charlotte now.

    does any duo hook up more often on the alley-oop? i knew that was gonna be the play once steve was way out on top and the jazz didn't look like they were to into the defense. could see it coming a mile away.

    I always thought hill could come back because most of his game was not based on athletic ability. He just has the ability to take what you give him.

    francis had 7 t.o., but when you let francis play you can overlook the the t.o. he plays with so much energy you have to take the good with the bad and on most nights when you give him freedom to creat the good outshines the bad, plus he have a real backup point guard and grant hill to handle the ball also.

    Exactly. When you put up numbers like that and your team comes back from a 12 point deficit to win by 15 against a DAMN good team, you can overlook the bad parts much easier.

    I'm very happy for Grant Hill. Hopefully he's able to continue playing injury free. He's definitely one of the good guys in the game.

    And that's how he's been able to finish on the fast break and crossover some of the better defenders in the league, with no athletic ability. Please. You don't make Kirilenko, among others, look silly just on mid-range jumpers. If it were just spotting up and shooting, he'd have that shut down in no time.

    It's also why Hill runs the offense, he leads the team on the fast break, both in bringing the ball up the court and in finishing in traffic, and still manages to get in there and rebound at a decent clip -- all because he has no athletic ability.

    :rolleyes:

    Is it just me or does Steve have more sick dunks already this season than he did all last season? There were tons of times last year when he laid it in when he could've thrown down the dunk. I guess he's really trying to show something this year.
