crispee, the way I see it, this season is already a write off. I'm not too concerned if we win or lose since there is no chance in hell of making the playoffs. But if we're behind in a game by some 20-30 points, I would bench our two pseudo-stars and let the rookies get some PT. But, if Francis quit on the team while only a few points behind, then thats a different story. I ,fortunetly missed this game due to some work thing I had to go to. I like Francis and all, although I don't like the 3rd person dialog of a typical athlete. However, noone in Houston is goning feel more embarrassed than Francis. He's the one that got his ass whipped on the floor in front of everyone.
I usually do not post, but seriously reflect on this quote... "All in all, only three players in NBA history (Grant Hill, Magic Johnson and Oscar Robertson) have averaged more than 15 points, five boards and five assists in their first three seasons. Make that four . . . "
Just curious, and not weighing in on this debate one way or another...but I wonder what the other three averaged in turnovers their first three years?
