You can call this Francis3's Law: If Houston can do these 3 things tonight, they will win the game. 1.Shoot the ball well. 2.Low Turnovers 3.Sit Catos Bum self on the bench. GO ROCKETS
I think we're gonna lose the rebounding battle bigtime tonight. Dale Davis, Rashed Wallace, Ruben Patterson, and Scottie Pippen? We better make our shots and not count on second chances. Chances are, Steve is gonna play great tonight. In fact, I have no doubt in my mind. If we can get a big game out of either KT or WIllis or Cato or Griffin, I beleive this game is a possibility. Problem: this is a back to back game Good luck Rox. Rockets 99 Blazers 99 Then in overtime, I dont know what will happen
Rockets down by 15 at halftime stevie has 3 points, 9 assists out of the 38 points Rocks have, Cat has 18. stevie is unconscious in the 3rd, setting an NBA record of 39 points in the quarter (the rockets score 45) 83-65 end of 3 Rockets cruise to 110-80 win; Steve ends up with a career high 47 points, 15 rebounds and 15 assists Rockets up record to 7-5... go on 15-game winning streak with Francis averaging 36 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists
I think Port. is using a line-up that's taller at every position...can anyone confirm or detract this?
I don't know RR but last year we had Bullard starting against Sheed and we still won. Bull made Sheed dribble the rock off his foot a couple times...Bill goes, "It looks like Air Bull has spent a few hours in the weight room!" Calvin retorts, "Yah...lifting them lolli-pops!" hehehehe... Didn't Stevie have like, 32 points in that game?
They don't have a C taller than Cato or Willis. Maybe Davis is as tall as Willis. At PG, Pippen is taller (Stoudamire is out). SG is Wells or Anderson. Mobley is shorter than both. but I don't see how they can be taller at SF. Needless to say, Rasheed is tops at the 4.
Ah yes... I attended that game. That win took all my frustration of the Rockets missing the playoffs away. Steve had probably his best game as a Rocket, and the team led throughout the entire thrilling game. That was a 109-103 masterpiece by the Rockets. I wish I could experience that game all over again. If Steve plays like that again, the Rockets will get a W tonight.
Pippen was placed on the IR, Barkley is the starting at PG. Francis ought to light him up, although D is Barkley's strong point...
