    Anyone catch Francis and Brown getting into after the game? Unfortuneatly the bozo who is directing cut away from the shot for a little time and went back to Francis leaving the court.

    Francis just said on the postgame that Brown was pissed the Rockets scored on them in the closing seconds. I'm sure Brown will have a quote or two in the Philly paper tomorrow.

    Larry Brown's an old punk who can't stand the fact that his "so-called" best NBA team got thumped at home! He's got the biggest, whiniest, ball-hoggin' scrub in the league in Iverson. His CD got pulled 'cause he's a sissy. Dream still rules!

    Screw Larry!!

    I understand that he's trying to stick up for his team, but I'm quite sure he's been involved in more than a few blowouts victories in his career.

    Just be a man and admit that the Rockets' were the better team tonight.

    Who's better: Kelvin Cato or Joe Barry Caroll?

    Take your time! :)

    To be exact, Steve Francis said Larry thought Shandon was rubbing it in. Shandon must have had a few words for Larry. Steve went over and told him that Langhi worked so hard in practice, and that they wanted him to get in the scorebook in this big a game for the rockets. You could see Larry Brown say "f*ck that." It'll be interesting to see who Larry says caused him to get mad.

    That was EPIC! Personally, I've never had a problem with teams running up the score, even if it is the Rockets on the losing end...

    It doesn't matter if you get beat by 23 or 25...you still get your BUTT whooped! Take it like a man...

    Boo hoo, Larry Brown is mad. I thought that all scoring was fair in "acknowledged" garbage time. It's fair for the benchies to score in garbage time. I don't think the Rockets would have cried if Mohamed had scored with a second left...

    nothing wrong with squeezing in a little Langhi time. If Brown ididnt like it, he should have not allowed his team to leave the floor early.

    I was a sports intern/reporter at KSAT 12 in San Antonio when Larry Brown coached there.

    He was an ass then, and cheated like crazy on his wife, after every game we would go to a bar and he would have young women draped all over him.

    He has no scruples, and in my book is a loser.

    they were discussing it on nba tonight on tnt, kenny smith was saying dont rub it in, dont rub it in.
    barkley said, no you GOT TO rub it in. you rub it in, let them remember it, take it out next time. or at least thats how we used to do it before they chaged the rules so the girls could play.
    but that was a nice alley oop. screw larry. i take this as a sign of showing some good, healthy emotion, and if it was to get langhi in, its showing good signs of team chemistry. KEEP IT UP!

    Sure if Cat does it it's called "padding your stats".

    But, you play every single second of the game and if you don't, too bad.

    Funny. Brown gets hot after the Rockets run a play in the final seconds but he's all hunky-dory when his star player yells obscenities to the Indiana crowd.

    What's worse: Scoring the ball during the course of a game or screaming "f*ggot" into a crowd on a game televised on NBC?

    None of those situations were bad. Iverson had a b**** ass idiot in the crowd yelling racial comments at him.

    "You've got to show Coach Brown more respect," Tyrone Hill said. "You don't scream and curse him out. I like Steve Francis, but when you're up (23), you throw the ball inbounds and let time run out. I'm shocked."


    So you don't support your teammates?

    Brown wouldn't address the matter other than saying, "They played great until the last five-tenths of a second."

    I thought scoring is good. Oh wait...Brown wouldn't understand scoring, after tonight's game.

    Brown needs to get over it...his team was absolutely destroyed - plain and simple. Complaining about that last dunk is like a passenger on the titanic demanding his money back.
