    as you can see he is not trying to dominate the ball and use the clock he has been passing and setting up other teamates

    Actually, I do know that. If Steve had played well enough to be in the rotation, he would have been put in the rotation. He wasn't.

    Just to clarify, I always wanted Steve to play, but only because he deserved it. Not because fans like me wanted it.

    Generally, I just think it's annoying when fans think they know better than coaches.

    LOL! And he's accusing Rockets fans of living in the past! And for the record Elvislives, I'm a ROCKETS fan, not a STEVE FRANCIS fan. I know it's hard for you to understand that.

    Francis looked great for a washed-up fattie!

    He will be starting by that All-Star break.

    Aron Brooks career shooting FG%- 100%

    Rafer's career shooting FG% - Does it even matter?


    This is one is a no brainer!

    I know one thing, some of layups SF is hitting tonight, RA can't hit.

    Noticed that Francis did not overdribble tonight and can still drive very well. His defense is quite good. He just need to get his rust off. AB also looked good. I wish both of them can get some playtime but it is difficult to get PT in a 8-9 man rotation.

    Yes, AB handles the ball pretty good and is much faster than RA. At the defense end, I think he cannot do worse than RA.

    Bench or trade RA. MJ is a keeper because he can shoot.

    Clutch,

    I petition thee to add "vs. Brooks" to the title. I still say play a 'three guard rotation' with Stevie, James, and Brooks. Find a way to get rid of Rafer for ANYTHING (and I do mean ANYTHING) that would get his contract off the books. I am much more interested in developing a known talent than keep toying with a natural disaster.

    Well. the game against the SUNs showed everything, MJ is too sticky to the ball and although he hit some tough shots, he is not our guy to start at PG, Sf3 is recovering and he should take some of rafer;s time,IMO
