    He will prove you wrong.

    Stevie is still the Franchise, Yao is the Dynasty...seriously though they can both coexist and lead our team to greatness. It doesn't really matter who is the designated "#1 option" they both have proved their worth in the clutch tremendously. With the game winding down, most good teams will use an inside-outside offense, so it will be going to Yao but Francis is just as capable of getting the winning shot like he's proved numerous times.

    Good point

    He will prove you wrong too!

    Look, rockets #1,

    Francis is a great talent. There is no question about that. He has the POTENTIAL to be great. However, notice that I put "potential" in all caps. He has to get smarter, mentally, for him to take that next step.

    Also, although it is nice that you have that type of enthusiasm about his game, I could care less if Stevie "Franchise" is making play after play that gets him on Sportscenter. As long as he making plays that translate to wins which translates to playoff appearances, then I will be mucho happy. And guess what, rockets #1? It hasn't happened yet and it is going on five years. So, while it is a cute and clever nickname, it is a misnomer because someone who is really a "franchise" player would have had his team in the playoffs at least once in 4 seasons.

    i dont understand why Francis is bogged down so much. Im getting the feeling hes the most hated Rocket . Why are yall so critical of him... "Jezus Crhist!!!! DId he just skip down the court!!!"" "OMG!!! did he just pull a dirty and1 move!!!!! That is so unconservitive!!!!"
    Sorry to all those stevie haters but this team WOULD BE NOTHING, AND I MEAN NOTHIING WITHOUGHT HIM!! THE CAVS WOULD BE BETTER OFF!!!. He puts the most effort on this team. He is a work aholic!!! Hes the only guy before Posey who hussled and only cared about winning!!!! Yao Ming hasnt proven anything yet!!!! STEVE FRANCIS IS STILL THE MAN!!! AND WILL BE THE MAN FOR YEARS TO COME!!!!

    oh yeah, at the start of his fifth year, i was still not throwing in the towel and was going to take a bbs name that supported Francis, but in disguise, like couchpotato, but i ran out potato cushion to support my blind rooting for an individual over the team

    and then i saw the light and said damn i dont got 4 years to be taken on this serpent ride, this is my team. why..because in years past, I bled at night, my heart stopped a few times when the the Rockets of Horrys rookie year chokes to the Supersonics, I skipped elementary class to watch the 86 Rockets duke it out with the Celtics and the Lakers. I stayed up late at night and got numerous tardys in middleschool just to see that sonofabitch Tomchambers stick it to my team in Phoenix.. I hung in there and missed 1st period woodshop because of my dedication to the Rockets.. and you.. the Mr. couchpot8to.. you have the nerve to think this is all about the kookFranChise, man go buy a summit program with my sweat and perspiration on it from 92...and send one to your modern Barneyhero, because when it comes to the Houston Rockets,,,that chump from Maryland better RECOGNIZE!!! : D

    More imporantly than him playing or not playing the one, he needs to not be playing the two. In other words, Francis needs to learn to be a PG for the Rockets, or he needs to take his all-offense, no defense, ball-hogging game to another team.

    look.. ok.. im astonished with all youve done as a rocket fan. its just that, your steve bashing have gone for so long that its getting a little old. and being a rockets fan has nothing to do with what i said. im just saying is that why all the hate from francis? i admit, im a francis fan. but he's not a "Barneyhero" you be spittin on to me. im just a fan of him and i just dont get it that you bash francis everytime you have a chance. all im saying is, why hate francis? all i said was, your a typical steve basher. and that your bashing is getting old. i never mentioned anything about you being a rocket fan. so, wtf was you blabbering about your love for the rocs?! and i NEVER EVER thought its all about francis. matter of fact, im a lil dissapointed about francis' performance this past season! i hate him not dishing the ball more and his turnovers are high. so what are you trying to say?! you assumed the wrong ideas my friend! i was shocked that what your saying is completely OUT OF TOPIC! all im saying is why the steve bashing? and your bashing is getting a lil old. try to understand first before talkin.

    Look, me and you see things so differently. I know that the Houston Rockets will be a better team without Francis, its like addition by subtraction, i really believe that. I've seen certain things in this world and one thing I know is that Steve Francis was the worst thing that ever happen to the Houston Rockets. Agree to whatever man. In a few years you will understand what I am talking about now.

    i see your point and i respect your opinion coz everybody has a right to have their own opinions. and we do have different beliefs. ima just say let's just stick to what we believe in and hopefully, everything works out. if your right about stevie being the worst thing that happened to the rocs, then i admit, i have "eggs in my head". but if stevie proves you wrong, i hope you admit your wrong and take the "eggs in your head" like a man.

    I will admit it. And man, you know what, I hope I am wrong. But man if for some negative bandwagoner vibe reason I end up being right, I will egg your face and throw wet toilet paper at your bedroom window. :cool: ; )

    anyone agree on my opinion?

    that is :
    let him play pg first, and pray......
    if he couldn't do well,make him play sg a wile,and see......
    then let him play pg again,and hope...
    if he wouldn't do well,then, prepare a bench for him,and look for...

    how long will you be waiting for him to prove? do you know how much time rockets could wait for him? in fact, i believe in that he can do it (be a good pg)right now if he would do it, even last season he proved it in several games. but he never could do it well if he wouldn't like to do it. no one else could help him except himself.
    i think he couldn't totally enjoy a win if it is not him basicly to bring. i almost believe that he couldn't breathe if he couldn't be the man. how stupid man he is! how selfish man he is!
    could sf3'grandmother tell him that he is the man if he can be a good pg?
