BUT, you have to look at the positives of this game... 1) Only 12 turnovers 2) Francis had a good game...Not specacular, but solid...None of his three turnovers came in the closing minutes of the game, which he has been known to do... 3) We shot 34% and STILL came within a shot of winning the game... I don't like this game against Phoenix tomorrow, though... ------------------ If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding!!
Um, we lost to the Clippers. You don't have to be a pessimist to say that this game was not a good sign. I know what my night will be like when I go to bed: "We lost to the Clippers, we lost to the Clippers...the Clippers, for God's sake..." ------------------ Nederland 2002 Rockets crush Bucks.

Clutch put it well when he said every once in a while a team like the Clippers will play above their means. However, when they play like the Clippers normally do and you still take the pipe, you've got problems. Los Angeles turned the ball over 21 times and hit 12-25 or thereabouts at the foul line and the Rockets still concocted a new and exciting way to lose. Not the end of the season for sure but the Rockets have every reason to be embarrassed. Put Mike Hampton at small forward. Sorry. I don't know what got into me there. ------------------
