What i want to know where is Mike James at? Last night was a good example when we needed another scorer.
I didn't want Steve to come back here during the off season, but now that he's here, it's a shame that he couldn't play like he used to. SF3 + MJ was a failure this off season. At least we got Brooks to replace those 2. I lost hope in MJ. I think he's done. He probably already hates the team for him to be much of a difference. Adelman should've given him some minutes during those games where we were getting blown outta the water so maybe he could at least pad his stats and have some trade value.
What happened to that dude who was Francis's neighbor? Can't we get an update from a source besides the official line from the Toyotadome?
Watch the Suns game and then tell me the Franchise doesn't have anything left, was a bad move etc etc. By the way, can any1 upload the whole game please ?? Thanks
I agree! Adelman is not only stupid but also stubborn. When he think someone is not good, then the guy will not get any minute. If MJ played good, these rooties would never had any chance at all.

This is all happening in this year. His play deteriorated after the fall during the GSW game and he is now injured. So if he can play like what he did against Phoenix after coming back for injury, he defnitely should be on court. He definitely play better than what Rafer had ever played before with Rockets in that Phoenix game. I have never seen Rafer making clutch drive.
Here's the link to his highlights at Phoenix game. What a game and what performance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAZYfB7AkAE
Wow, even then you can see he's not moving very well. He looks like he's in pain especially when he fell down and didn't get up till his teammate helped him up. He doesn't have the lift or elevation so that tendinitis must have been bothering him back then too. Even so, his ball handling and instincts are still sharp and he knows where to put the ball. If we can get him back and in good shape, then he will be very valuable to us.
If I recall correctly, in the last two games that Steve played this season, he actually started in place of an injured Rafer Alston. I remember that those were games that I really believed would promote him into the starting lineup for the rest of the season. At that point, he was coming off some good games including that great performance against Phoenix off the bench. Of course, it didn't work at that way. In fact, he played like trash in his two only starts. They lost both games, including a blowout loss to the Sixers, I believe. I don't think he got another minute of playing after that. I really thought (and still think) that Steve could complete his comeback attempt. But if he is in the doghouse right now, he certainly deserves it for blowing those two huge opportunities to show us the real player he is.
He played poorly when he started in those two games because the tailbone injury from GSW game. Because Rafer was out, we need him and he played even with pain after the fall on his tail bone. It's not fair to say he deserved to be in the doghouse. He deserved another chance if he is fully recovered.
I believe I was him in practice footage on the news yesterday evening. So maybe he is close to coming back, whatever that entails.
amen!! the gs fall set him back...let him retire a rocket,retire #3 !!after teh steve love this yr,how can you not?!
