    I got that news paper this morning. Theres a great picture of Mobley and Francis in the front cover. I like the article about the relationship between them two. And can you believe this! The Rockets ranked #8 in the Western conference. I ranked them atleast #6.

    Great read, Dear Rock! It's always nice to hear about Francis and Cuttino, on and off the court. Hopefully, their friendship is enough to keep them on the same team for years to come!

    heh, the "Rockets at a glance" says that he "Was an honorable-mention All-American as a senior at Seton Hall after averaging 17.8 points, 10.8 rebounds and 4.43 blocks per game. "

    FEIGEN think we will win only 44 games. Anything less than 50 is a disappointing season.

    Actually the prediction article doesn't have a lot of credibility when the author (Jonathan Feigen) gets the numbers incorrect:

    He's fine until March where he gets sloppy.

    Going into March, he predicts us at 32-24. He then states that March has 16 games where he prognosticates a record of 9-6 (for a total of only 15 games). Even then, the record would be 41-28, but he has an overall record of 39-33.

    He then states that in April we'll go 4-6 for a final record of 44-38. However, adding 4-6 to 39-33 yields 43-39. So here's he's actually adding 5-5 instead of his predicted 4-6.

    Therefore, it's impossible to tell what he really believes. Paging Mr. Nostradamus...

    By the way, if you ignore the running total and concentrate on his game by game projections, it comes out to 45-36 (with the one missing game in March).

    He said Griffins last game of the preseason wasn't spectacular. :rolleyes:

    Griffin had 8 boards 6 blocks in 25 minutes!
