i actually think that steve did not play as bad as some of you guys think i know he was like 1/12 shooting in all 4 quarters so it is not as if he was jacking up shots and he only has 2 tournover so that was not the problem,if u notice , steve brought the ball down and gave it right to yao to start the offence he was not ball hogging at all though his partner in crime the cat was always trying to take kobe one-on-one and that just wont work playing kobe. i just wanted to point this out because i was impressed with francis no throwing up 25 shots when he knew he was having and off-night and giving it to our low post threats.
