Transcript of Francis' press conference this morning.

So a 5 year cell... broken up... a new cell has been born.... but so what...

edit:Francis' head sure is shaped funny.

 

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.

 

thanks randerson, i wonder what stevies stats will look like next year.

 

Really weird seeing them in a different uniform...I wish them the best!

 

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

 

Anyone else thing Francis looks a little like Eric Snow in that picture?

 

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.

 

good luck steve, cat, cato. Thanks for the memories

 

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!

 

I wonder what Francis is referring to?

 

Probably trying to tell the fans that they are going to come in and play hard.

 

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.

 

I guess this was the original picture.

 

and just in case anyone has managed to miss this....here ya go.

Magic Press conference introducing SF,Cat, and Cato

 

Yep, that was it. They look so depressed in that one.

 

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?

 

no















maybe close....but I really doubt it.
