After a horrendous game today, Steve fouled out and walked off to the locker room, with several minutes left in the game. Eventually he returned to the bench. Magic lose to the Bobcats, Cat led in scoring with 23.
Doesn't suprise me because Steve is still immature and he proves once again the Rockets made the right trade. He left his teammates like when he went to the SuperBowl and missed the team flight.
Orlando still makes the playoffs. Knicks got bashed in the head by the Celtics. No way any team that loses by 30 to the Celtics at home should go to the playoffs. Knicks fall out. Magic jumps in.
Man hoe quickly things turn! The Rockets lose their first 2 games, suddenly you have Orlando fans and some Rockets fans, pining about Steve Francis, talking about his heart, calling out McGrady's heart and bragging about Orlando winning two games in November. Now the Rockets have two wins in November and Orlando gets beat up by an expansion team and those people disappear. My oh my!
2 assists, 6 TO's, & he's taking as many, or more, shots as anybody on the team. New town, same ol' Francis.
Now which season(s) have I heard this before: ``We definitely overlooked this team,'' Francis said. ``When you overlook teams, these are the results you will get.''
Someone mentioned in another thread that Francis only had 1 turnover in the second half. But he had 6 turnovers in the first half, That's 13 turnovers in the last two games. You're not going to be able to run pretty well when your PG is giving the ball away regularly. Once teams adjust to Orlando and they play better teams, the Orlando fans coming over here are going to have a reality check. It'll still be a solid season for them, Orlando will still make the playoffs. But funny how there were some Orlando fans comparing the Rockets to the Clippers and ripping McGrady and the Rocks. Rocks are starting to come around.
Wow! I hadn't thought of it that way! And those three games were against the Bucks, Hornets, and Bobcats! I know that they've got some chemistry gel'ing to do like we do, but... damn! Their next game is against Dallas on Tuesday. I've got a funny feeling that Dallas is gonna impale them. -- droxford
Is something wrong with me? I don't have any harsh feelings toward SF, Cat, or Cato and when the trade first came about I placed Orlando as my 2nd favorite team this year, but why can't I stop smiling when I see them lose? Why do I feel a sense of joy when SF has a bad game? SF was my favorite player on the rockets.. what is going on with me? I think it's due to the Orlando management on how they treated McGrady after his departure. I am not against "the clique" but I am against their team's management. Orlando is no longer my 2nd favorite team but SF is still one of my favorite players... who I just so happen to cheer when he plays horrible.. I guess it's a win-win situation for me
why do people enjoy it when francis plays bad?? why al the harsh feelings towards him? He played his heart out for us, ok he is not perfect. but he is very good. I think it is said that people keep bashing him even when he is no longer on our team. get over it. P.s. there is a possibility to both Like Francis and Mcgrady. I know it is hard to see but it is possible
