Then play him, have him at least FINISH close games. He needs to be doing at least 25-30 minutes right now. Rudy is pampering him, and our defense is HORRID !!! Steve Francis is an incredible player, but his defense needs a lot..and I mean a LOT of work. DaDakota
Makes you wonder why he only played 9 minutes against the Warriors. That damn "NBA Courtside Live", they have Hakeem playing 9 minutes, but the 'Recap' on the front page has him playing 16. grrrrr. Either way, it was too little. ------------------ I have a dream.........his name's Hakeem. [This message has been edited by DREAMer (edited January 28, 2000).]
