    Finally! This is the guy I thought we were drafting. Looks like he's a keeper.

    And why wasn't Jacobsen shooting like this last pre-season?

    Yeah seriously, if Francis hasn't taken up even 33% of your turn over, he's doing a superb job. So all the haters should just shut it! :D

    Yessir, Francis has always been clutch for us. This is why we brought him back. Situations like these is where you need him. Case in point, check out the last play with Head running it. Steve would have created a play.

    making it when it counts? :)

    and im starting to see that rafer is the best option for our starting point guard as long as he doesn't shoot :D

    Seriously, quit being a MJ homer, the guy also has zero assists. MJ is most effective if he shares his minutes with Rafer, to keep each other in check. Given free rein like in today's game, and he'll just chuck it up for 7-17

    That is why Scola should be closing games instead of Chuck.

    It's an even bigger travesty that you somehow think Yao is a better option this evening.

    Generally he sucked in that game when he was shootin' But you see why we need him. He can take to the basket every time he wants. He can be very productive.

    and he will.

    i believe we keep the same starting 5, but scola will finish games along w/ tmac/battier/yao + rafer/james depending who has a good game.
