Bahhhh, you are all taking this WAY too seriously. Can't a guy talk any trash anymore without being considered brash, classless, or rude? Chalk this up with Cato telling the media he'd lead the league in rebounding, and call it a day.
Francis dissing the Spurs is like Marcus Fizer dissing the Rockets. Francis really has no room to talk, especially since they have owned us the last 5 years or so. Did any of the Rockets diss the Sonics when we lost 13 in a row to them? The Sonics certainly weren't ever title contenders, like the Spurs now. Francis needs to worry about his own team, rather than the team that owns us.
I love the double standards placed by some Rockets fans. If Kobe said the Lakers will win the title (which they probably will), he is considered to be the cockiest S.O.B. When a Rocket speaks out, it's "confidence" or the "truth".
ZRB if you can call yourself a Rockets fan then that leaves the door pretty far open for everybody. I'm more of a Rockets fan than anyone here could ever know. Do you prefer Rudy constantly praising the competition? I think silence would be the best thing for Steve, but if he wants to insult the competition, that's fine by me.
Why don't you support your superstar when we are half way through a game, 10+ points down then? We need consistancy in the fan's support just as much as we need consistancy in our scoring and shooting percentages.
He may be right, but I would switch records with them any time they like. As for Francis, he needs to grow up, I guess he was just frustrated because he was PUNKED by a 19 year old rookie. DaDakota
