ClutchFans Game Thread: Spurs @ Rockets 12/11/2003

Now the Midwest standing is RIDICULOUSLY close.

 

I think he thinks he's AI.

 

Maaaaaan, i feel sorry for those that actually went to the game...... Rocks definitely pulled the Jeckle/Mr Hyde routine.

 

just back from OT, after reading the stats and some of you guys post, and sportscentre's recap on TV. I really want to blame YAO.

 

AI is a better passer, let alone scorer.

 

they were actually cheering today!

 

Do you mean game winning or "prize winning"? STeve still won the prize.

 

At least AI has a clue. Stevie just looks lost. I'm just frusturated with the whole team right now.

UUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

BAD Basketball!! Out of Control Basketball!!! We needed this one very badly!

 

ouch...

 

yao is so slow. Is there a way to train his feet to move faster. Otherwise, he will not become a dominant center, people have hoped.

 

Spurs and Mavericks may sweep the season series with the Rockets. They have Houston's number. This would cause the Rockets to fall down the rankings in the Midwest Division.

 

And what prize would that be? In all due respect, and with no mean intentions at all, would you answer just one question? Are you a member of Steve Francis' family? And if you are, I understand. I would defend my son, grandson, nephew, whatever, no matter what. Otherwise, I don't understand. He is now playing at a level that is so abysmal that it defies description. He looks utterly lost. But if you are family stick with him, I respect that.

 

and yet when francis gets 1 or 2 assists a game, folks say it's because no one can make a shot.

interesting.....

 

Realistically, Rockets are not going to beat the good Western teams until they reduce the turnovers. Even when they win they have too many. I'm not really bothered with losing, but please just cut down on dumb mistakes and it will be easier to win. JVG should spank each player with the number of turnovers per game. I guarantee that will solve that problem.

 

times five =D

i still love my rockets though

 

If we just look at the scores, it looks like football game. Too bad.

 

I'm not a member of his family, I criticize Francis as well, not just for things that are over reactions or don't have merit. I wish Francis would keep improving, cutdown on the mistakes make more shots, etc. just like a lot of other people. But not going to claim things that aren't true in order to try and bash him.

Francis was a prize winner in that he won the ROY along with Elton Brand.

Parker was on the winning team tonight. I value wins more than Francis having a ROY prize, but Francis did make a quote about the prize and that quote was accurate. There are valid criticisms we can make of Francis but the prize winning angle isn't one of them.

 

I sure am glad all-star Steve Francis realized Cat was taking way to many shots and decided to freeze him out in the second half. I can't believe people think Steve is different. He is still the same ball hogging moron he has always been. Cat made the first two Rocket FGs in the third quarter, missed 1, and then didn't get another FGA for over 16 minutes of game time. For some reason, the Rockets NEVER feed the hot hand. I don't get it. On second thought, Francis doesn't get it.

 

A rather "technical" point, but OK. Now, have you followed Francis' career? Have you not seen him make the same mistakes over and over? It is like he is a rookie every year. Can you explain this? Can you explain why he looked like the second coming of Michael Jordan the first few games of last year and ended up looking clueless?

Do you think he is properly placed as a POINT GUARD WITH PLAYMAKING RESPONSIBILITIES? I am amazed when people say he is a great point guard. I think he is a horrible point guard, maybe the worst in the league. Maybe we are defining point guard differently. If he were 5 inches taller I think he could be a "true" All Star forward. What is it about him that makes you such a fan? I really want to understand. I wish I could see in this guy what guys like you see in him. I just don't get it. Could you list the qualities about him you like the most?
