...did you see the act K Garnett put on after he blocked shot tonight? Did he get a "T"?? No. Yes, I'm still pissed about Stevie's tech. Regardless of what we think you gotta love the way Franchise handled himself after the call...here's more from Thursdays Chronicle: Rockets guard Steve Francis said Wednesday he still did not know exactly what he did to merit a technical foul for taunting on Tuesday night, causing his ejection just one minute into the second half. Francis said he did not stick around long enough to ask official Bill Kennedy to explain his interpretation of taunting after Francis' acrobatic dunk in the third quarter. "I just got out of there," he said. "It shows I'm maturing. I just let it go. I just walked away. Last year, I probably would have gone after the ref. Hopefully it won't happen again. It was tough, especially after we worked too hard to come back to cut their lead down to eight after they shot a sizzling 90 percent in the first quarter." Old School ------------------ I voted YES!

That's why Steve Franchise is going to be THE best player in the league in a year or two. He already has the maturity, and the right attitude that these so called superstars like Kobe and Vince lack. Once he develops his already amazing abilities, he will be the best player in the league. I firmly believe that. ------------------ Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon is the greatest player in the history of basketball. If you disagree, you are not a Rocket fan.
Zrb, I actually agree with you. ------------------ Ceo of the Walt Williams and Lisa Malosky fan club. atheistalliance.org
Steve Francis will never dunk again. You can pretty much expect, from now on, for Francis to finish like Kenny Thomas and move like Kelvin Cato. ------------------
I saw that last night. If what Francis did rates a tech then KG sure deserved one also. I hate to see a player punished for excitement after a great play . I think the refs need to be more consistent one way or another ------------------ "Stop your grinnin' and drop your linen" -Hudson
MJ took 5 steps , double dribbled , Screwed the Ref's Wives and never got called for anything . Hopefully Steve will get more credit now that he didnt lose his temper . ------------------ "Eat your kids, play with your dinner and join the chat" - Dr of Dunk gives a public sevice announcement at the request of Mike Tyson .
LOL Moes,I'm rolllin...I love MJ,but that is too much.....ZRB,I think Stevie's headed for the top 3.Either way,he'll get plenty of calls himself,down the road.What a travesty though,he didn't do squat,that ref is an egomaniacal jackass. ------------------ If I had my life to live over,I would have liked to have ended up as a sportswriter - Richard M.

Paul Pierce dunked on somebody for San Antonio and slapped glass with both hands and nothing was called. I don't see a problem with doing it but if you call it on one call it on them all. ------------------ President of the Steve Francis, Jamal Crawford,Larry Hughes, and Charles Woodson fan club.
Part of the problem may be Francis is getting known for his flashy dunks and backboard slapping. Sorta like Dennis Rodman who got techs for just LOOKING at the ref wrong (which was total bs, btw). Old School ------------------ I voted YES!
