    Just a minute ago on NBA Today on ESPN; Dr. Ramsey said the player that was jiffed the most of all was Steve Francis because he said that Steve is the heart and soul of the team.

    I justed wanted to let everyone know that we Rocket fans aren't the only ones bummed over the Francis situation.

    Does that mean he lets his teammates walk all over him?

    It means he is the only player worth watching that has talent. The rest suck balls.

    why would they pick michael finley over steve francis? he scores more than him, but thats it. and he only scores two more. if you wanted someone to represent the mavs because they are winning choose steve nash . But francis is more worthy than finley. i wish steve would blow off the rookie game because of his snub. i think that is total bs. who picks the reserves anyways?

    Wow...Jack Ramsey actually said that? Maybe he isn't a complete idiot after all. [​IMG] I've hardly ever heard anyone at NBC, or anyone at any other network really say much of anything good about Houston, at least since we won the title. I would've expected Jack to say someone like Nash should be there or something.

    Unfortunately, the coaches of the conference pick the reserves. That means more coaches like Finley than Steve.

    There is no way in hell Jack Ramsay said that about a Houston Rockets basketball player. Its a well known fact that he hates our team and all of our players. So now he feels sorry for Franchise???? Sorry Jack, but that doesnt offset the fact that you have blown us off since day 1!!

    What does "jiffed" mean? Does it involve the ritualistic spreading of peanut butter?

    LOL.....SamCassell

    I think what Jack was really trying to say is that Steve Francis was Peter Panned.

    I hope he said Francis was the soul of the team as opposed to the sole of the team.

    Finley made it over Francis because he is a good player on a good team. Francis is a good player on an average team. Rudy said it best when he said the coaches look at who is in contention when they vote.

    HEll tonite Vescey said he voted for Francis
    maybe this had something to do with
    him not making it.
