I don't know what NBA.com is doing, but looks like they're trying to diss Francis

    SF needs help in this highlight poll! Now go there and vote:
    NBA.com poll
    It's at the middle of the left panel.

    sorry man, but if you are honest, it is Bibby. It's no diss to Francis, just the truth.


    let me state that I have seen a marked improvement in Francis' play though, and I am beginning to see his role on this team.

    I'm not only honest, I'm also a YOF. But trust me, man, this team needs SF as much as, if not more than, it needs YM.

    I don't see how they are trying to diss him in that poll. They also have a photo of Steve with the caption, "Steve Francis and the Rockets overpowered the Hornets 97-86". It seems like they are giving him some respect.

    The way the question was asked made me feel that someone is trying to influence SF out of the Rockets. Yikes!:(

    Yes, Bibby is the best fit on the Kings or basically the Rockets too. I was listening to Mike Fratello comment on Bibby. He said that Bibby wasn't a player who could jump the highest or run the fastest, but he could shoot the ball. Steve Kerr then added that shooting is the most important skill.

    Steve Nash is a close second though.

    Damn. Bibby is actually YOUNGER than Francis. This is eerily looking like the 90s when Michael Jordan put a beatdown on Patrick Ewing all the time preventing him from winning a championship.

    It doesn't matter what the "truth" is. This is about defending our guy against the rest of the league.

    If it is my least favorite Rockets gets dissed on by some other team, even if they were my favorite team in the world behind the Rockets, it is ON because NOBODY talks smack about anyone on this team but us!

    Wtf, how is this like michael beatdown on patrick? Just cuz Jordan is younger than Ewing? Jordan was the most dominating player in his time. Bibby is on a good team surround by players to shore up his defeciencies.

    right on Jeff. I'm really not sure if it's the Rox board anymore these days. Ofcourse, if Steve plays better I think it'll go away.

    Uhhhhh its a damn POLL, opinions of the people who visit the website. Nba.com isnt trying to diss anyone because they dont make the results, the people do.

    WIth that said, steve is looking more and more comfortable and is playing pretty well the last couple games. I use to be in favor of trading him, but I have changed my mind after seeing him play.

    I'm right there with you, Monkey.

    I was short on patience with Steve, but his complete game is making impressive strides IMO.

    yes, you compare it with other players like davis tonight. Francis is more complete since he doesnt force shots, and imo is more smarter and a bigger team player. B. Diddy is a real cancer to that team since he scores 1/4 of there offense shooting less than 40% Ouch!

    Jordan always took it up a notch when he faced the Knicks. I don't know if he averaged more points against any other team. Bibby also takes it up a notch when he plays the Rockets. I heard Bobby Jackson and Bibby hate Steve Francis for taking the starting all-star spot all the time. Bibby has the highest shooting percentage against the Rockets. This is against one of the best defenses in the NBA, and he shoots over 60%. I'm a Rockets fan, and I would like to see the Rockets beat the Kings one of these days.
