What if Steve was 7 footer he would be able to block anything. Remember the block against Marbury and BMiller also Nowitzki. Oh yea and that block on Lebron which was called a fouled. I like how Steve Hustles and doesn't let the other team get an easy lay up.
A-TRAIN, Maybe if you actually read what I had to say you could see that I am not a Francis hater who likes him when we win and cries when we lose. Peace.
Applauded? Maybe......likely. Truly he has/had no choice if he wants to remain a Rocket beyond this season. A-Train Three game winning streak or not, Stevie is still undoubtably and uncontestably cerebral-challenged. This fact is unlikely to change anytime soon. Mind you I do not proclaim this with any joy. He nonetheless cares - but that is besides the main point.
Nothing wrong with getting offensive rebounds, have JJ swing back, Steve is one of the best rebounders on our team, and he gets the "tough" rebounds that our big men doesn't or couldn't get sometimes because of his hustle. There were several times this season when the shot missed near the end of the game in that crucial possession and Steve gets the ball to give us the second chance.
