Francis must be seriously out of shape if he continues to sit on the bench while when Alston(I guess the when shouldn't apply to Alston since we know he shoots like **** every night) and James has nights like this.
I know Steve Francis can play better than this Luther Foo, and Alson in tonights game even with 30lbs of fat in the off-season.
If you don't like to discuss the problem and rockets, then don't reply. Don't be a troll and go into a thread and drop a stink bomb like this.
Complain about the turnovers to Steve Nash. He averaged 4.6 last year which is way more than Francis ever had.
honestly,maybe Steve now is not that good that you think he is. coach A is the one who konws it best and he'd give Steve chances when the timing is right. what makes you guys so sure that Steve will perform well like you expect???
Those who criticize Francis don't realize that his game has changed. He's not a dribbling/turnover machine anymore. He played good team oriented bball when he was healthy with the Knicks.
francis was the reason i quit watching basketball for 2 years until the mac trade. i was diehard before francis but it became too damned hard to watch him lose game after game. after watching him play exactly the same way in his last preseason game, id rather not see him play until he's got that out of his system.
Is SF3 in shape? Accepting lower salary doesn't mean ready for the game. We know how Wells played last season.
Don't you SOF wonder why he doesn't get any time over Alston, James, or Head? Could it be because he isn't very good any more? Could it be because he isn't fitting the system?
You cant really justify this can you? he averages like 11 assists a game so the asst to TO ration is still one of the best...of course when your in an up and down offense with more possessions there will be more TO's as well as more assists and that is what Nash has
I think you heard it wrong. I think he said that Francis had a talk with Adelman because he was so frustrated that he wasn't apart of the rotation.
I heard that as well. They said he was going to have a sit down with Rick and talk about it. They said Morey still believes Steve is the best PG they have. Maybe he knows something we don't.
Well, this is interesting. I really think this is still about establishing dominence and a pecking order for the team. Adelman is making a point to Steve to play ball or sit.
so many people want steve back out there, but the minute he gets in there and if he starts turning the ball over, then alot of the steve defenders will back-peddle and start wanting his head.
Oh, well I guess I heard wrong. I thought for sure they said that Francis was the one who was frustrated, not Morey.
