hey guys, i live in austin and go to UT, so i dont get to watch the rockets as much as you guys do. They show the Spurs, enough said. Anyways, here are my thoughts. Francis : wow !! he really is good, very unselfish, and seems like he will only get better. Also seems like a good guy, i dont know why sabonis didnt want to put him on his shoulder =). Anderson : i can live with him being our SG for the next 8-10 years. Much better then i thought, seems to do the little things well. Thomas : at first he looked like a bust, then i figured he would be a serviceable 4 in the league. But now, i can see him being a 17/10 guy. Hes quicker then i thought, and he hustles to (contrary to reports from UNM). Mobley - He kinda plays out of control. Seems to be a ball-hog, maybe its just this game. Why is rogers palying ? Wasn't he injured ? If not, play him instead of Bullard. Matt has no chance against Wallace. Pippen - what a schmuck, i dont like him. Im glad the new Mavs owner stood him up, lol. Those are my observations after one game, and we're better then i thought. godd day =) ------------------ "Don't they get cable in Canada ?"
