I have been a die-hard Francis fan ever since the 1999 trade that brought him to Houston, and although I feel like it was time for both parties to move on, I can't say that I'm not gonna miss seeing him in a Rox uni and I hope the best for him. I was wondering if anyone knew the exact date of the first Orlando trip to Houston, because I plan on buying courtside seats because it will be THE game to watch. We should set something up for that game to get as many CF.net users to go to the game for our former franchise's return to Houston. Hell, even though I hope we stomp the Magic I'm still thinking about wearing my Rockets Francis jersey to the game, just for all the great memories he gave us. If anyone else would like to join the band wagon, post a reply and we can figure out a way to organize something. Just a thought, because most of my friends aren't as into the Rockets like I am, and I think it would be nice to sit and talk basketball person to person with someone as interested in it as me.

You know it's weird, It's not usual for me to dream basketball games. But, last night I actually dreamt the first meeting between the Rockets and the Magic... All I remember is starting the first quarter, the Magic won the tip via Cato, ending up in Cat's hands.. Then Cat runs the ball up to the 3pt line, wastes no time shooting right infront of a defending T-mac, clanks it, then Steve zipping right through Charlie Ward, leaping into the air, getting the put back with a dunk.. And immediately afterwards pounding his fist over his heart, while sprinting back to defense, mouthing off something which I can't make out.. And Cat for some reason, pointing out the Rocket's bench and mouthing off himself.. Giving off the impression they were going to give the Rocket's a hell of a game.. But, it seemed more like premature celebration.. Eh, who knows. I don't know what I was doing dreaming a basketball game anyway.
