    It was bad. Is bad? no... was bad. a bad game.

    I'll agree with you if Rafer's assist/turnover ratio doesn't improve or he ends up shooting 17 percent from the field for the year.

    what was that about a bag of rocks?

    I feel like Francis gonna play. Head didn't show anythin' against the Lakers. For example with Jazz I'd put Francis over head. We need agressivness

    head did nothing special, he played 6 minutes, he came in played his role, he took a 3 pointer which was a good shot, wide open shot, did not make it, and missed a mid range shot. he played his role, nothing special, and that was the point, he is not called to be a espn highlight reel guy. it isn't about who is a better player, it's who is willing to play his role.

    francis is not going to play against the jazz. he isn't going to play unless the games are blowouts. that is the sad fact. francis is good at somethings, at the total expense at this point of all other facets of the game.

    Rafer haters suck as Rockets fans. Please go become Mav fans or something.

    Well the worst thing you're probably right. Francis' havin' a really hard time.

    As for Luther I like him, especially now when he has improved and when he can drive.

    I completely agree thats why they need to trade him and steve or mike james both need to be in the game at the end especially

    The problem with trades is that we can't get anything with Steve's small contract and Mike James still has that trade kicker that we are paying. If you can get another team that wants Mike James bad enough to pay the trade kicker, then by all means, but it most likely won't happen. Luther and Rafer are the only possible realistic trade possibilities in the guard rotation.

    Rafer sucks, but he was not the only reason.
    Lakers played trap defense, Rox panicked, and that included Tmac, Chuck Hayes, Rafer, and Battier (for not coming back to help). I didn't blame Yao much because I can't expect him to run to the backcourt to help.

    not only Rafer,but also others.they all lost in the last 5minutes.i'm afraid of it.Is Rox a strong team?Kobe almost beat us by himself.and i doubt that new system can work well.

    Once again for the slow one.


    JVG didn't have Mike James or Steve Francis last year. How are you going to pretend to know that Either one of those guys wouldn't of played for JVG. Its like a grade school attempt to bolster your arguement.

    This is shocking information. I am very distraught, disillusioned, and depressed. I am going to bed and may be unable to watch the game tonight. I need Oprah, somebody get me Oprah!
