Steve Francis does the absolute minimum to help the Big Guy.He makes only a token effort just for show, then gets on with his game. In here lies the problem, I still think that Francis has not given into the fact that he only the second big noise on the Team and will do everything to have himself in the limelight. At present at least 50% of Yao Mings missed shots are due to the last minute, difficult bad passes from Mobley and Franchise.I dont think he has hit any wall its just that he isnt the focus of the Game and he isnt taking his time anymore.It almost looks like he is on the Court for the benifit of Francis and Mobley, when it should be the reverse!!
