    Then Steve is winning the battle. He is shooting 3/16
    Averson is only 3/13.

    Please stop the Francis bashing until we start losing this game.

    He's in a SERIOUS funk right now, when shots he'd normally make are not falling. (He's not forcing them up today... he's getting good looks, but just missing).

    I wish he would penetrate when this happens... but he's trying to shoot his way out.

    Nevertheless, stop the bashing...

    The Rockets are a REBOUNDING MACHINE. Cato, Francis, and Ming have 29 rebounds between them. Since Ming is shooting about 60% and Francis is shooting under 20%, and rebounds are equal, I think they should switch positions. Hey, I'm serious. Francis is a great rebounder, Ming has a nice shooting touch, and besides, who is going to take the ball away from Ming when he is standing still. Mobley can dribble up. Let's do it! ;)

    Steve may not be shooting well, but he's playing good defense, rebounding, and passing. He's just pressing a bit when he's shooting these last few games. You guys are quick to forget he shot 47% through the first six or so games.

    Why is Francis forcing so many shots? Doesn't he know he is in a shooting slump. This is the time where if he isn't laying up shots, he should be passing the ball.

    I'm getting the updates on Yahoo.com; but geez, he's taken 16 shots and mised 13 of them.

    Yao and Mobley combined have only taken 21 shots. And they have better FG%.

    Bill and Calvin have been the only players ON TOP OF THEIR GAME tonight:

    Calvin - "That's how you end a sentence with a period!" (After a Yao Ming dunk)
    Bill - "You mean exclamation point."

    Calvin - "If you move after passing it to Yao, he'll find you in a dark closet."
    Bill - "Why would he be looking for you in a dark closet?"

    Bill - "Francis tries to dribble thru the whole city of Philadelphia...(turnover)... then the mayor got him."

    Each team only scored 13 points in the 3rd quarter!!

    Well, how good are the defenses playing?
