    My favorite commentary:
    Point guard: Still the strongest part of the team. Francis has been lighting them up, averaging 19.4 points, but his assists are way, way down from last season -- 3.6 per game vs. 6.6 last season. It's understandable considering the Rockets are missing Shandon Anderson (home because of an illness in the family) and Maurice Taylor.

    But if the Rockets are going to win many games, Francis is going to have to get more players involved. Moochie Norris has been solid off the bench, giving the team a different, bigger look at the point -- if you can get the ball out of his hands, that is.

    Since when was Moochie a bigger PG than Francis, and when has he ever been a "ball hog"? From what I've seen, Francis has played probably 1/3 of his minutes at the 2. This team is making more passes, and this team is shooting horrid percentages, at least in the first half. A good majority of what would be Francis assists end up for this reason as Norris' and Mobley's (an impressive 4 per game).

    Follow the rules or be assimilated.
    Shandon is underrated.

    Maybe he was counting Moochies fro,seriously though it sounds like hes going by the numbers,the guy probably hasent watched a game yet!

    About Mooch being a ball hog,I have no idea where he gets that I see mooch pass up on open shots to get the other Rockets involved all the time so if anything I dont think he shoots enough,I think he shoots the three pretty good and should shoot it when he gets open looks.

    Yep, this bum hasn't been watchin the games.

    Mooch is the farthest thing from a ballhog.

    And the only reason Francis doesnt have that many assists is cuz of the extra passes + missed shots... as NIke explained.
