    Wow...Murphy really went off on them in that article, but I guess they probably deserved it. It might have helped Mo if Cuttino had passed him the ball any in the last couple of games...and Shandon's mind has not been on the court either the last two games. The whole team seems to be in a daze.

    Wow,old mike murphy really did vent his frustration. He gave the whole team an F. Pretty extreme assesment after only 2 losses, even if they were bad losses. It's not like the rockets are on a 10 game losing streak.

    Michael Murphy is an idiot. The article shows that he does not understand the game or this team.

    The truth is with the talent the Rocks have they are a 500 team in the West. Given that Cato and Dream have missed significant games, their record really is quite surprising.
    Sure we can want more, but we should not expect more.

    I have to say that the article is tough, but not undeserved. The guys should read it and their pride should make them win the next game just to prove Mike Murphy wrong.

    How is this article more of an over-reaction than some posters here??

    After every loss or couple of losses, we have our fair share of folks who spew more venemous stuff without even trying.

    Seems a pretty stupid article...

    He mentions how can a point guard go a game without an assist...maybe I am forgetting something here, but can someone remember what game that was? I can't remember Francis getting zero assists in a game?

    SRJ--according to NBA.com, Steve had 0 assists against the Heat

    BTW..he also had 0 blocks and 0 steals that game, but managed to get 21 pts.
