    That was the season where they made handchecking illegal. Francis and Mobley were unstoppable because of that rule change. If someone touched them they were sent to the line. When they changed the rule back AND added the zone defense, that really killed the Steve and Cat show. However, Francis has always sucked at running the break.

    I see Steve putting up maybe 23 ppg, 7apg, and 6 rpg. Something in that range probably.

    Exactly what I thought. I mean, "I couldn't run." Don't you mean "I am unable to run."??? They guy doesn't have a fast break bone in his body.

    I love Steve. I'll miss him. But, that was funny as hell.

    It would be interesting to know what Francis meant when he said he found out about the trade "pretty much the day before it all went down". Officially the trade went down yesterday, but obviously Francis knew about it well before then.

    Note to Stevie...a halfcourt game with a big man wins championships..even a masterful fast break team can' t win it all (see Dallas Mavericks)...that said..we'll miss Cat and SF.. Rockets down deep..hope they make the playoffs!

    Good luck Steve, Cat, and Cato

    I'll miss you and root for you just like I root for Sam Cassell and other lost "true" Rockets

    At the same time Welcome to H-Town Tracy!! Time to win some championships!

    The Magic will be a very good team next year. Francis, Cat, Hill, Howard, and Cato will be the 3 seed in the East next year.

    Somebody may have asked already but:

    With Cato gone, will Yao be switching to his more customary #13 now?

    Does anyone think the Magics have a chance to win more games than the Rockets in the coming season?
