He played great that game in Phoenix, however, the games he started when Alston was out he looked bad. Really bad. I would love to have him as a back up point guard to provide some scoring/playmaking off the bench but only time will tell.
My concern is that Francis had his really crappy games when the team was in full meltdown mode. Yeah, he looked awful but the rest of the Rockets didn't look all that great either.
exactly, didn't hurt the fact after he started those games, he was out for 2+ weeks, then had surgery the next month. next year will be interesting, and I know the fans/city will love him as much as we did in the beginning of the season as for my favs: 1st game vs. SA in Nov Lakers game in Nov for personal reasons, cause well, my attention wasn't much on the game Stevie game vs. Suns comeback game vs. the Sonics in Jan SA game, coming out party for Landry Novak's game winner vs. Kings technically speaking, every game in the streak, although the Bobcats game stood out one of the most for me, with Harris having a breakout game, plus we had to actually comeback from being down Suns game at season end with it being Hakeem's day and whipping the Suns out of the building Game 3 and Game 5 can't leave out the suite game vs. the Nets, that game felt like it was only 10 mins, for having so much fun at that game and being the last ones to leave
hands down the lakers game when the rockets won the 22 straight and i lost my voice............by far the best game i have been to.
Franci great if adelman gives him a chance, he would fit this uptempo offence, remember that we wanted out was because JVG slowed the game down and best of all franchise can create his own shot
Game 6 vs. Utah... The one where T-Mac dominates, get little to no help, and did it all while needing not one, but TWO surgeries. Heart. NEVER say he has none again.
Lol funny how you rather go for an unfit player rather than McGrady. Obviously, Francis had "too much" heart before coming to the Rockets, and obviously he was overconfident about his abilities. However, I do want Francis to come back good and healthy. After watching Dwight Howard himself call Steve Francis one of the best ball handlers, the rockets could do with another dribble penetration player and a third scorer. Still waiting for our 3 Headed Monster. What a Drama it would be if Francis comes back healthy to help the Rockets, and the rockets win it with McGrady, Yao and Francis. O what a drama. I believe it will happen one day though. Afterall, the Rockets are the cinderella team, and I'm proud of being a fan of the cinderella team, the underdog team. Next year, we ain't no underdogs no more. We're gonna start kicking some ass. As far as I'm concern, the inside the NBA guys are actually rooting for the rockets next year. Kenny, Charles both know when Yao returns, we are one effing deadly team. I'm glad we have their support on that.
Of the games i went to i'd have to go with Game in Jan vs. the Spurs where the Rockets showed their defensive ability. That game vs. the Suns at the end of the season was just so special with the Hakeem ceremony before the game. and of course watching my rockets in person win #17 in Dallas! Win #22 was awesome and I enjoyed it thru and thru
We lost that game? So you would rather the team lose to prove a point about heart? Don't you care about the team winning? I mean how can a loss be your favorite game all year.....that is just not right. DD
Anyone here want to burn the Jazz homecourt down sunday? I got gasoline, lighter, mask, and boozer's finger prints.
Sounds like a Hollywood movie, which is why it would be so completely awesome if it actually happens.
Yeah that would be awesome. I think he'll recover with the surgery. If you watch closely in these videos, he does not have the lift going to the hole that he once had. I think he was limping a little bit too and then when he got knocked down, he didn't get up right away and waited for a teammate to pull him up. I don't think old Franchise would have just laid there like that. Then in the next game after that when he got minutes he sucked it up. Course pain will do that to ya. The preseason monster dunk of Francis was not old Franchise because he used one hand to push off his defender to get up there. Definately needed the surgery and much rehab in the offseason.
This would be mine, because I was there! It was game 2 of the winning streak (thought we didn't know that at the time) but it was a fun game to see.
