    Excuse me that I didn't read the links (sina rarely works on my computer), but are they thinking about playing on the same team?


    that would be incredible.

    Yes. Nothing more incredible than watching them run iso's to death.

    Francis = Biggest Egomaniac nutcase in Rockets History
    Pippen = Biggest Piece of Crap Loser in Rockets History

    In hindsight, they were a breath of fresh air compared to how Tracy stunk up the Toyota Center. One Builds it and they other said it had depth perception problems.

    it was fun watching Steve and Cuttino grow as players with the Rockets, we got them as rookies.

    I'm glad Cuttino went to the Clippers and got a chance to win a playoff series.

    In terms of their entire career, who was the better second-round virgin, Francis or Mac?

    Steve was a very good player, and had a ton of heart and love for Houston.

    Well Tracy had the better career.

    But Steve Francis , he played way more as a Rocket.
    games per season
    77,80,57,81,79

    Compare that to Tracy as a Rocket.
    78,47,71,66,35,6

    Fans will remember how each player left.

    Steve never wanted to leave.

    Tracy, while with the Rockets, said he wish he played with a Tim Duncan, or a Shaq, or put him on the Celtics instead of Paul Pierce, then at the end he wanted to be traded because he felt he didn't get enough minutes

    While Tracy made his return to Orlando as an opposing player, he said he wish he was back with Vince Carter (Which was why he left Toronto cause VC got all the glory)

    Tracey = not a true Rocket
    Francis = always had the heart of a Rocket
    Both gone forever

    ummmm
    I would definitely say although tracy was a drama queen .. as a ball player
    Tracy >>>> Francis. It was still the right Trade.. Just see how fast Francis declined after leaving Houston.. He was just a dumb ball player

    But what really did it in for Francis was his attitude after he came back. His quotes about why he had to practice or fight for a spot against Alston since he is The Franchise and how just because he is Francis he should start.. and crap about he will only play if the money is right. and how he only needs 2 weeks to get in game shape and he will be a top pg again..

    It jsut all came out on how much of a egomanaic nutcase he really was..
    Glad Francis is gone..

    I am just glad he does not represent having a brain of a Rocket

    Well I guess Steve didn't build the Toyota Center to Tracy's specifications. :p

    I don't get the hate for Steve. The guy left it all on the court every night, he had a ton of heart. The same cannot be said for all ex-Rockets

    Doesn't Cat have a heart condition that prevents him from playing? How is he going to play in China?
