    That suit Cat's wearing looks a toddler's choo-choo train over-alls. :) Oh, wait. Im not hating, am I?

    I met Sam, and he remembered me the next time I saw him. So Sam is fine in my book. But why gives a rat's a$$ if someone wants to criticize his or any other ex-Rocket' s game?

    Speaking of ex-Rockets, Mo Taylor played pretty well for the Knicks tonight. He seemed to be making a difference on both ends of the floor in his limited minutes. I had to laugh when the commentator described one of his free-throws as a 'line drive!'

    I have no respect for anybody that voted for Eddie Griffin.

    .....and Francis is the obvious answer, if you want to take this poll seriously.

    I'm glad eddie melted down when he did. Or else we would be subjected to a few more years of "yeah but he's a high first rounder and has got so much potential and is still young" while getting 30% shooting and nonexistent defense.

    Agreed. My friend is a New Jersey fan and will never let me hear the end of it. If only we had kept Jefferson and Collins...

    Quit hating on Stevie. He played best as he could. Even though it wasn't good enough.

    Cuttino is not a superstar, but he's quick and can shoot it. Two things we really need right now.

    Never, EVER, hate on E.T. and Horry, they actually accomplished something on this team. The only time I really didn't like one of them was when Horry was on the Lakers, but that's just because he was on the Lakers.

    The other two are irrelivant.

    Steve Francis deserves every bit of hate that I feel the need to share. It's like people forgot how Steve Francis played when he was a Houston Rocket when he was traded. I'm not saying he isn't a great person or a good player but he was easily the most frustrating player to watch when he with the Rockets. I remember the days when we thought he had, "Turned the corner" into becoming less of an isolation player, (who dribbled the ball too muthafudging much) into what we needed him to do for the Rockets to become a successful team. Those were some long years that I am ecstatic to be pass and I never want to watch another "star" player play like he did. I'm sorry, but I remember all the games Steve Francis played (that I watched) and getting traded doesn't make me forget those games. In fact, they are as vivid as ever and he deserves every bit of criticism for how he played in Houston. I wish him well in Orlando and all that but he shall always be good player that made the Rockets game damn near unwatchable when he was here.
