    Does the Rockets/Orlando games next thurs (on TNT) and 1/24 game in Houston lose some appeal now that Mobley is gone?

    Francis/Mobley would have been more interesting to watch those games, is going to harder for Francis to get as hyped up without Mobley now.

    Anyway we can trade Mo for Cato? :)

    Even though Francis will still be coming back (along with cato) it wont be the same as it was with both Francis and mobley returning.

    I am actually excited about seeing Yao destroy Cato. That should be fun to watch.

    I think one of the players will crack under pressure and one of these things will happen,

    A. T-mac wants to go for big numbers so bad he cant make easy shots and he shoots himself below 20%

    OR

    B. Steve could try his best to show why we shouldnt have traded him and turns the ball over 10 times and goes ICE COLD from 3

    I think whatever player can get above the drama will make the game fall in favor of his team.... Right now I think T-mac will have the big game, but I hope we get to see a shoot out..


    My dream ending would be to see T-mac go for 50 hit the game winning shot in Steves grill... After the team pours on his back like they did in the Spurs game he would point towards John Wisborough and say "That's for you" as JVG is holds onto his leg...

    And of course he would hold up the top of his jersey and do a little dance for all to see

    Tmac is going to want to make Weisbrod leave the arena early. Tmac will still own Orlando.

    I am going to try my best to be at the game when Orlando comes to H-town. I am going to give Steve-O a standing Ovation. He deserves it. I am also going to wear my Francis jersey. After that point in the game, I will be all Rockets. I hope they beat the Magic BIG.

    I 'll say we sweep both games with tmac averaging over 30 points and 7 assists per while shooting 45%+ from the field.

    Trust me, I wouldn't be suprised if he scored over 50 or 60. Man, that guy is incredible. He gets in a zone, and goes wild. Trust me, he will score more than 30!!!!!!!! After all that mess the Magic were talking about him.

    T-Mac will be so up for these game against the Magic that he will not allow us to lose.

    Francis will get dribble happy and try to force the action to an ungodly degree and have over 10 TO.

    I agree. It bothers me that there's still so much dislike for Francis and really annoys me that many of the post in GARM praising T-Mac also add some dig at Francis. While Francis drove me crazy at time I still loved his fire and joy for the game. It was a classy move on his part to take out the full page ad thanking Houston fans when he got traded.

    Anyway this man loved being a Rocket and that's always good in my book.

    Same here, I hope he has a great game but with a lose.
    SF3 is still one of my favorite players but the Magic are still just my 2nd favorite team...;)

    The Magic are getting the Rockets at the wrong time, the good guys will sweep. Francis wants it so bad he will self-destruct, mega-turnovers and a shower of missed shots from downtown. TMac will "go off" big time! Ming will dominate inside. There will be a scuffle with fines. You heard it here first.

    Forgot about that article...He's good people.

    Even more reason to cheer him during intro's. And that is so true. He may have disliked JVG and saw different things than he did; but he LOVED being a ROCKET. Nobody can take that away from that guy. To Houston fans he will be known as Stevie Franchise...To Orlando - Steve-O.

    Does anyone think Tmac will let us lose? On that note, how comforting is it when you see that look in his face? The announcers see it during the game and comment on it, and I don't think we've lost a game when he gets like that. McGrady has the potential to be the greatest player of all time, better than Jordan -- IF he had that mentality night in and out. Fortunately, he's had it lately
