    Rockets travel to Phoneix to play the Suns one final time this season. Francis will go head to head against Kevin Johnson, an example of a true point guard, for the first time ever and probably the last time too. what will the outcome of the matchup be? I expect KJ to play the his best game since coming back...You'll see!

    Let's hope it is the LAST TIME!

    KJ had the most poetic comeback ever. He couldn't play the first game after he was signed because of a sore ankle.

    He's on my all time Injured Reserve team along with Brad Daugherty, LaPhonzo Ellis, Danny Manning and Christian Laettner!

    I wish that we had Francis 5 years ago when KJ destroyed us for years. Now its payback time...

    Jeff,

    No Ralph Sampson?

    How dissappointing.

    Jayson Williams is making a strong push to be added to that team as well. I think he might very well accomplish it within the next two or three years.

    I don't think Francis will have too much trouble with KJ. I would have liked to see this match up when KJ was younger. I remember that game against Pheonix that Super-Mario hit the "Kiss of death" shot. KJ was unstoppable in that game. Especially down the stretch. It seemed like he either scored or went to the line everytime down the stretch. Thank goodness for destiny, or the Rockets might have lost that one.

    Aren't you guy's forgetting something......Barkley vs KJ. Old team mates play against each other for the last time. I can just see Barkley and KJ at the end of the game, in the bar! [​IMG]

    Will KJ be playing? I thought he was injured. If he is playing, I hope he lights us up. I mean, I want to win the game but I love KJ and it'd be nice to see one more flash of brilliance before the season is out... and then next year we can sign him.

    Sign KJ!
