I agree...he needs to play and quit thinking so damn much. We need him to lead the team but he needs take his shots and score, also. This translates into way more field goal attempts. His ability to lead the team can be opened up by him asserting himself offensively. If he can overcome his man one on one offensively, then the double team will come and so will the opportunities and assists. But, he is forcing the issue...it's almost obvious to opposing teams that he is not looking to score but rather find the open man on a dribble move. The problem is he tries so damn hard to create and get the ball to other teammates that he actually creates more turnovers. Anybody notice that any assists he gets are offset by the same amount of turnovers by him on most nights?
Not dissin my man Francis but he needs to assert himself offensively to open up the floor more for his team leadership.

Also, does anybody find our road record a bit disturbing(0-4). This is one jinx I don't want the Rockets to hold on to for long. We don't want road losing streaks signifying a team that only wins home games against good teams. We need a road win BAD.

Verse,

I'm off point here I know, but who does Rockeem think is the best player in a Rocket's uniform? I feel a laugh coming on, but I can't be sure. Help me out here!
