2 Much Love 4 Steve

I agree with you whole heartedly. Don't know what you're missing until its gone.

The last four years were amazing. I remember thinking the year he came in about his pouting in Vancouver and all this hype about him being explosive, I was skeptical to say the least. Somewhere that rookie season though, we all saw the beginning of a superstar just beginning his career.

I hope the Franchise stays true to his name and becomes this franchise's cornerstone for his career. (along with YAO of course!)

 

im not bashing francis, he played excellent last night, but it is only one freakin GAME. And this could have gone in some other thread.

 

You must have one big computer monitor. And I guess if your gf thinks he's hot, well, I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean. I know someone who thinks Padgett is hot and can't find any posters.

 

I've met broads that talk about recent meetings and dates with Matt Maloney.

 

The last four years were amazing

I'd take four years of being in the playoffs over the last four "amazing" years.

 

Since the Rockets have near the worst attendence in the league, I wouldn't be too worried about losing Dee Fans. The people that post here are generally the most knowledgeable and dedicated of the Rox fans (why else would someone post here thousands of times?). For most of us, we are far more concerned with the team's performance than having a "hot" point guard. I don't care if we don't replace his "electrifying dunks", because I don't think we will need to spend 10 million dollars to replace his <2 assist to turnover ratio.

 

The world outside of my computer monitor called me last week. It was a good friend who used to have Rockets' season tickets a few years ago but doesn't keep up with it much anymore. He sort of got into the Astros and keeps up more with baseball.

He knows I still follow the Rockets so when he called the first words out of his mouth were..."What in h*** is up with Francis...missing a game to go to the Super Bowl? What a dumb*ss!"

I'd say his opinion is more reflective of what 90% of the general population of Houston thinks as opposed to you and your small social circle.

 

What has francis done in his career to become the "franchise" of this team when we haven't made the playoffs during his tenure. Yes he did have a really good game but how many times have we seen this happen when he plays a great game one day and the next game he plays below average.

 

Exactly! His name would not be involved in any trades if he had more games like the one vs the Lakers and less 6-17 shooting nights with 5+ TOs. He is just too inconsistent this year.

 

Yea but i wanna see what happens this year.

 

you lie Gater.... you have no world outside your computer

 

Some could be said about Yao's performance....


Anyways, the Rockets have to make it to the playoffs before I start to praise them. For the moment, I am standing behind them and cheering them on. They aren't going to be a religion until the playoffs.....




.....aww never mind, obviously I am in the cult, almost 4000 posts...

 

Thats true, but this yao's 2nd year and he faced the most dominant player in the league yesterday. Its francis' 5th year and he is a max-dollar player, we should have higher expectations for him than for yao...for now.

 

Actually it's been almost every game since the suspension.

 

The competition is not between Steve and Yao. Why do people keep trying to make this season about Steve vs. Yao. IT's the Rockets vs. the rest of the NBA. Not teammate vs. teammate.
