"Slow It Down Man!" I dont think I've ever seen Steve play so out of control in my life. I know he had a bad back, w/ a back to back to boot, but there was no reason for him to hurry into the offensive sets the way he was. I know he still had a very productive game, but with all of the single coverage on Ming tonight, it shouldn't have been such a chore for him to run the offense as it seemed it was for most of the night. I know playing in New York must gas you up a bit, but slow it down man, you still have the home crowd to contend with on thursday. Go Steve!! but not so fast
I couldnt believe how courageous Francis was tonight. In my opinion, he was 50% or less and definitely not himself. Yet there he was driving into the lane, diving for ball, bad back and all. We're all frustrated with the loss but he was a warrior tonight. We may question his decision making at times but he has a ton of heart. Steve Francis and Yao are the future of the Rockets.
