    A friend of mine was on a flight earlier today flying from Miami to Houston in First class and guess who was there. Steve Francis and Nick Van Exel was in first class on a Continental flight. Evidently, there was a big Hip-hop showcase in Miami Sunday and Monday night and they were returning back to Houston. Steve was very nice to my friend and even took a picture. She didn't get a chance to really talk basketball so no news. Curious tho to see Nick Van Exel on the same flight with Steve Francis. Makes you wonder. Hmmmmmmmmmm

    So if Stevie was using Osmosis to understand the playoff atmosphere (when he was at the playoff game in Philly that everyone thought was so great) what is he using Osmosis for now? [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Perhaps how to chuck refs over the scorer's table. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Van Exel

    I think Van Exel lives in Houston, in the offseason, so that should take your wonder away. My brother constantly sees him at his work (Royal Oaks CC where Cuttino lives). I'll be working there this summer, and possibly will be seeing a lot of him too.

    Nick Van Exel has a house in the Houston area. People take somethings to seriously, he tends to be a little bit hot tempered on the court, but he is cool off the court. That's why you have never heard of him getting into trouble.

    I guess Francis must have given up on his persuit of Webber so now he is just taking a break!! by the way, van Exel lives here in H-town during the offseason....... like many other NBA players do.

    Nick lives in Royal Oaks as does Cuttino.

    Nick owes the most expensive house in the subdivision at the moment.

    The lot itself cost 1 million bucks, house is pimp, including sub-level movie theatre and many other perks. Total property value 3 million.

    Just hope Mcdyess want the same thing and comes to the Rockets.

    I had an instance once where I met a Rocket on a plane. 3 years ago, I met Charles Barkley in coincidentally, first class on a Continental flight. He was catching up to his team in L.A., because he had missed the beginning of the road trip recovering from a hernia I think. He was really nice, and we talked about the Rockets chances that year. Too bad we lost to the Jazz in the WC finals. [​IMG]

    Cuttino is jealous of the relationship of Van Exel and Steve. [​IMG]

    I think Francis was unhappy at finishing second behind Rasheed Wallace in T's. He is sure he can improve that aspect of his game this offseason and was getting ref-chokeing tips from the master.

    I could be wrong, but I read somewhere that McDyess lives here too.

    I have seen much of the rest of the web. It is brutal and cruel and dark. CC.net is the light.
