    "Steve Francis' shoulder is surgically repaired, rehabilitated and cooperating. The pain that invades his head, though, hasn't been chased all the way off. "It's not migraines," Francis said, reminding that doctors have diagnosed him with Meniere's disease, an inner-ear disorder. "With any disease, it's hard to beat it. You've got to work with it and hopefully it'll go away. I've been able to play and practice every day. (The pain in training camp hasn't been) real, real bad." Francis said he presently isn't taking medication for the condition but continues to adhere to a low-salt diet. By all accounts, he was scoring at will all summer in spite of any discomfort anywhere. Clearly, though, this is going to remain a topic in Clutch City." -- Marc Stein


    "The reality, though, is this: Francis admits that the inner-ear thing still lurks in his thoughts and, worse, still causes intermittent discomfort. " -- Marc Stein




    All this excitement made me forget that we still have this problem. Anyone think he'll miss more than 3 games because of this? Is this going to be a huge problem? Is it a good reason to keep 4 PG's on the roster?

    Thoughts?

    Still not a reason to keep 4 PG's and anyone who thinks Tito can play he 2 has not watched too close.

    We really only need 2 point guards. Cat was bringing the ball upcourt last night on occasion. Rudy may be having him do that some in anticipation of keeping Hawkins, Torres and Mickeal instaed of Tierre and Tito. Maybe, Maybe no... ;)

    If Mobley brings the ball up with regularity, other teams will press and trap the s#it out of us.
