    It will be sad to see Francis take out his frustrations with JVG when he dunks on Yao tonight.:( I'm sure that he will hug Yao afterwards to show that it is not personal.

    Obviously. And if the Magic make the playoffs, surely you'll give Hill the credit.

    It is obvious that this board is divided between Steve lovers and Steve Haters....put me with the Lovers! I love Steve and always will. He had heart and cared about winning. It showed! I defended him almost after every loss in the years he was here and watch how the blame was all his for not taking this team to heights Hakeem reached in the glory years...that wasn't fair. Steve was blamed while management gave huge contacts to Mo-Taylor, Moochie, Cato and other clowns in the process, stunting the teams growth. I'm sure the Haters will have their reason for such, but I'm a fan of his and wish him nothing but luck.

    By the way...he's gona give Sure 30+ tonight. "count on that"

    Hopefully in a Rockets win of course.

    Kind of funny how TMac is bashing the Magic like Steve is bashing the Rockets. But of course, Steve is being the immature one and TMac is right, right?

    Obviously you still haven't gotten over the Cassell trade.

    LOL, he's like the George Bush of the NBA. He says stupid things and is either really loved or really hated.

    Just their fans, in the companion piece in today's chronicle (which has generated no interest on this bbs and is about to fall off page 1):

    I shudder to think how many pages this thread would be if you-know-who said that in his interview.

    There seems to be some vague assumption that Francis was bashing Houston in some way. The only criticism I see is that he had to play "robotic" under Van Gundy and couldn't fastbreak. He even demurs about being betrayed by the team trading him away.

    the posts would be coming faster than we could read them.



    and by the way, sliced bread is indeed one of the greatest things ever. i discovered this over winter break when all we had at home was a loaf of some bread made by someone else and i had to slice off about 8 pieces while it was still frozen to make sandwiches for everybody. sliced bread rules.
