    Earlier this year I thought Cuttino had to go, but definately one of the two. Now, Steve, through his OWN actions, has convinced me me he's the one to move if this team fails to show up in the first round. ( Raised expectations, I know, some think the playoffs are good enough, I am running out of patient for this group and want a tight first round or even winning the first round! ) Still, if Cuttino should end up moving I have no problem with SF sitting at the 2 with a Marc Jackson clone less ten years dumping in to Yao. I want to add the thought that Mobley has really stepped up in the "growing up" dept IMO, and this is exactly what I wish lil stevie would do. Please!

    Great, they can have him as his skills continue to decline because he does not have the mental capacity to be all that he could be.

    Later Steve...don't let the door hit you in the A$$ on the way out.

    Clearly you ascribe to the more literal school of pseudonyms.

    I think they are directly tied to each other....

    Francis makes dumb decisions off-court and dumb decision on-court. So, sure. Each are separate issues in this case....But they are of the same person, thus they are tied.

    I mean, even you said, "A problem off the court does[sic] (I think you meant to say *does not*) equal problems on the court..." but then you go on to say, "Francis's only problems on the court this year are shooting percentage and turnovers..."

    Rather than blaming it on JVG new system...
    Could it be that Francis's narrowed-minded thinking that causes his off-court problems and is the same narrowed-minded thinking that causes the on-court problems?

    That was a good one. Too often people go for the more direct but less original "It's not just your moniker that's stupid."

    Has anyone ever asked Pgabriel if he is Steve Francis? Who ever he (or she) is, he (or she) sniffs out even the most remote reference to Francis on threads and even posts. Pgabriel is like Francis' personal apologist. He "pops" up wherever and whenever Francis is mentioned. After reading some of his (or her) posts I don't think Francis could do anything, and I mean ANYTHING to lose favor in his (or her) eyes. Wow, I wish had more loyal friends like that. Pgabriel is either Francis, Francis' mother, Francis' girlfriend, or one of Steve Francis' PR people. Whoever you are, you are vigilant and dilligent. ;)

    pgabriel is part of the Francis apologist triumverate (FAT) with farhan007 and francis 4 prez. One of these members gives you the eventual goal of FAT with their username. The constant defense of Francis on the Clutch BBS is only the beginning. Just wait until President Francis is blowing off foreign dignitaries for the "once in a lifetime" opportunity to watch the opening day game of the Orioles. :D

    sueprise surprise steve's manager is in the thick of it. i wouldn't be surprised if steve's misadventure violated a term in his contract and his sleazy manager is just tying up the loose ends.

    I'm glad you take the time to analyze my post. You should refer the post clearing up gender questions.

    You two can take comfort in knowing that many of us hate both the guards, and so will side with one or the other, or both, as you escalate the pissing match :).

    Can you feel the love?

    This thread is becoming almost as good as the one in the hangout where MacBeth officially came out of the closet.
