    Steve had a great game, but he can't do it all himself. Down the stretch, you could tell Steve got tired and he missed his free throws. But the reason the Rockets were even in this game was because Francis was out there busting his ass and doing it all as usual.I wish he just had more help.

    I can't figure it out, you got your wish. Francis took the shots, and it was less Mobley. Now that Francis took all the shots people want more help? You have to realize the Rockets have to have more go-to guys and Mobley has to be one of them!

    I agree that Francis needs more go-to guys, I never said that Francis needs to take all the shots. My biggest problem with Mobley is that, like again tonight, he holds the ball and holds the ball and then he throws up a fade-away. Everyone's standing around watching, and the offense comes to a stand-still. More positive things started to happen when Francis had the ball. Mobley needs to stop holding the ball so long and pass it, especially when the double team comes. Mobley did next to nothing tonight. Now I'm not going to blame this loss on Mobley, but overall the rest of the Rockets, especially the bench, didn't really step up tonight for the most part.

    Francis had the type of game tonight that I want to see from him everynight. He was definately looking for his shot (23 shot attempts) which I would like to see more often. However, tonight he didn't shoot as good as he usually does (he was 1-5 on 3pts, and 4-7 on FT). If he was shooting a little better this game was ours. His decision making was great and he was getting everyone involved (9 assists to 1 to). He also played really good defense (10 boards, 3 steals, and 4 blocks). I believe that in the future we will be seeing this kind of production, but with a better shooting percentage, every single night he plays. Francis has really been elevating his game this past month, his number will on climb after the All-Star break. It is going to be absolutely frightening to see what this kid is going to do to the league in a few years.

    I think KT and Mo did a decent job on C-Webb. He had 31pts but they were in his face on every shot. And its a shame to see Francis running around on the court playing the 1,2,3,4,5. He is gonna be washed up by his 8th year if he has to do this everynight. [​IMG] Get him help Rudy!!!!
