ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Spurs 12/13/2003

Do you think Francis is very tradeable? I don't think many teams these days want to take on long-term, high dollar contracts unless they're getting a franchise-type player and inspite of his nickname I don't think Francis is truly a franchise-type player who can make a team, any team.

 

I think the Knicks will take him.

 

Knicks drafted Milos Vujanic in 2002 and were hoping to bring him over this year. He's was a highly regarded PG then and has since exploded and most regard him as the best European player period, any position. I would think they have Vujanic in their PG plans and wouldn't be too excited at taking on Francis, his big contract, and his shaky PG skills.

 

I would love to see francis be traded if that's the only way to keep the him from having the ball and running the offense.
I think steve is too egocentric, he needs be known that he is on the court at all times. when steve is having a good game, You Know it, and steve will make sure you know it, when he's on the court.

IN the second quarter, yao was on a roll, he was grabbing rebound and doing some nice works inside. When steve came back in, I think he basically just dribble dribbles and shooots.. pick and roll.. and just dribble right into the defense for a layup, the offensiv flow just completely stopped.

Steve's potential is only his running and jumping ability, but that doesn't mean nothing on the basketball court if steve can play some simple basketball.

I am not trying to bash steve, but is he wants to be a leader, he needs play like one. Play smart and play unselfish, if he really wants to win.
Otherwise, just step aside.
Just don't say you want to win and be a leader but you don't play the right ways.

 

Yes,Rockets lost a lot of opportunities to pass the ball as quickly as possible like Spurs who always shoot in open and comfortably instead of hurry shooting.
