    Well, he was probably at da club late that night, balling, so I'm sure he'll bounce back...

    What happened to T-Mac? He was hurt all last season...hasn't played in a game since early last season. That's what's wrong with T-Mac. You can't expect someone with that much time off to just be on right off the bat...you have to give him time to get in the groove. Practice is alot different than games.

    Francis just got injured by Bruce Bowen I believe. :( He played only 10 minutes today.

    i'm so sick of this dirty play that bowen consistently does.
    he deserves a beatdown.

    Its really unfortant that the league won't do anything about it, mostly because his "dirty play" is precieved as being for the team as opposed to simply being malicious. I wonder if its going to take someone getting seriously hurt or what. Although in the NBA, even a sprained ankle is a somewhat serious injury.


    As far as being in New York, hopefully New York can work out a trade and either Francis or Marbury will go elsewhere. I think Francis going to Portland and teaming up with Roy would be a good match.

    Steve Francis played well for a Rockets team that was rebuilding. He was not helped by the fact that Rudy T (a players coach), Charles Barkley, and Cuttino Mobley were so instrumental in his initial NBA development.

    Sure everyone knew he didn't want to play in Canada, therefore forcing a trade.

    But that aside, Francis was an amazing highlight reel!!!



    Best of luck to Francis.

    Bruce Bowen will never admit it, but he is a dirty player.

    I hate Bruce Bowen.

    i always loved francis when he was here he may not be the best player ever or the right one for the rockets but atleast he cared about the team and played his heart out every night. personally i would love to have him back on the rockets i mean he really cant do much worse then wut tmac is doin, and im not dissing tmac cuz i like him and wouldnt trade him for anybody but lebron or dwade, francis is having a very efficient yr so far hittin 50% of his shots and 40% of his threes dont hate the man just cuz he didnt take us to a championship, its not like yao has either he was fun to watch and loved the city.

    It was suppose to be the return of Kelvin Cato to Houston, along side Steve Francis.


    KELVIN CATO.

    I still want my money back.
