    Francis' near triple double was awesome, but check these out:

    Anderson: 15 pts, 9 rebs, 7 assists and 5 steals

    Taylor: 12 points and 8 rebounds

    Thomas: 14 points and 13 rebounds

    But, the most amazing of all...

    Francis: 22 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists and, get this, ZERO TURNOVERS

    I was still scared of the refs in the 2nd half.

    Cant say enough about the Franchize. He's played really well and mainly very under control.

    Mo played well... Man that facial on poor Mr. Bradley was unbelievable!!

    Shandon was aggresive and really filled up the stat sheet in all areas. His shot's still a little off though, but it will come.

    Thomas got a great number of rebounds + some big 3 pointers.

    One thing: Mobley should not take the ball up the court. He made some stupid decisions, and though a few of them resulted in baskets, they were still pretty risky.

    Ahhh. A win cures everything.

    You said it. I was jumping up and down when he did that and I don't think I've done that once this season.

    You should have been scared they were calling every touch, scrape or near miss! I thought the officiating was horrible on both sides of the ball!

    Did you guys see when Mo T gave Bradley in Murph's words a facial?

    It's amazing how each nba ref has the ability to consistently make themselves look like idiots in every single nba game i've watched this season. I didn't know whether to laugh or berate my tv when they called a foul on "21" and Kenny Thomas wasn't even in the game.

    Yes Wink, I can see how 21 could not be confused with 12 to the announcers.

    Come on, the Refs did not do anything wrong, the Rockets simply have not learned how to beat the full court press.

    It is simple really, you throw it to the free throw line, and have that guy penetrate to the hoop and dish to one of the 2 wings cutting along the baseline.

    Every college team in the country knows how to beat a press...ATTACK it. I don't know why our guys can't figure it out.

    At least we won and played with the missing intensity.

    It seems to me that Bill Worrell was the one that was confused. The ref pointed Norris's way after Moochie bowled into the middle of the lane. Even if he did signal "21" it shouldn't take a genius to figure out he meant "12".

    Or maybe the ref mistook moochie for MJ and was protecting him by calling the foul on someone nowhere near the play. [​IMG]
