    I didn't see your post but I guarantee it wasn't deleted because of that. Judging by you signature, you were probably asking for it.

    hmmmm I didn't know Go Grizz was a bad thing.... all I said was Francis "D" was weak and Bibby light him up once. Oh and so everyone knows I'm one of the few Grizz fans that thinks Francis is a great player... (no I don't hate him)

    Saying the Rockets won't make the playoffs because Francis played one bad defensive game against the Grizz is asking for it.

    You just signed up with the CC BBS to come in with an inflamatory post that you want to debate on a Griz board. Things must be slow on that BBS if you want Rocket fans to come post on it.

    I just didn't want to have to come back here is all, but now I will.... If you want me to point out some other games where Francis sucked it up I will [​IMG] Anyway I can't wait till we play you guy's we usually have close games so that is nice. Oh and to the people who made this site...nice job I make web page's as well and this is solid.

    You fail to understand two things.

    1.) Players improve, especially players like Francis.
    2.) The Rockets defensive system focuses primarily on taking away the post weapons of other teams. Other team's guards have always done well against us, as our system is not set up the way many other's are.

    And Astro, your post still counts on record in a deleted thread. [​IMG]

    In the 3 games they went head-to-head, Bibby outscored Steve by 68 points to 65 points.

    Not sure what your *point* is. The Rockets can't make the playoffs b/c Francis' stats are comparable to Bibby in 3 games?

    Wait I got it it - you wanted to call attention to the game Francis was hurt and Bryce Drew waxed Bibby 17 to 11. Damn, and to think some people want to trade that guy!

    My point is that Francis has to carry the team and is way to young to do that where as the Grizz have Dicky, Reef and Bibby (and no I don't honestly think the Grizz will make the play-offs). Isn't the PG's job to pass? I would like to see how the assist stacked up in those games...

    Assist totals for the 3 games:
    Bibby 23 and Francis 22.


    For the single game:
    Bibby 2 and Drew 5.

    Bibby and Francis are both quality PG's, the difference will be the other 4 players on the floor. You can't get an assist if your teammate misses the shot. I think it will be real fun to watch Swift and Taylor go head-to-head (actually toe-to-toe).

    Um... Vince Carter definitely carries the Raptors on his back, and he is 23 years old. Francis is 22. Does one year mean that much?

    Vince had T-Mac, as well as Vets like Oak and Wallace. Basically all I am saying is you rely on him TOO much right now...but I guess we will have to wait for the season to see forsure. I do like you off-season pick-ups though and like I said can't wait till you guys come to town.

    Lets use YOUR line of reasoning.

    Why didn't Dicky, Reef and Bibby carry the Griz to a better record than Francis did by himself for the Rockets? All young fellows with good seasons and no major injuries.

    I would rather have Taylor, Hakeem, Mobley, and Shandon Anderson as a supporting cast than McGrady, Oakley, Willis, etc.

    Oh and another reason the Raps made the play-offs THERE IN THE EAST! I think we all can agree the East is WEAK

    Hate to keep at this, but Kevin Garnett is 24, and he IS Minnesota's team and they are in the West. Just thought I'd let you know.

    your not trying to say Stevie is better then KG are you? And you better not be trying to say your as good of team as the wolves... cause your not. I'm not trying to shatter your dreams here let's just face the facts I think you guy's are dreaming a litle UNLESS Hakeem has a good year.
