Steve Francis has the most technical fouls in the NBA and picked up another last night. Normally, when you here a stat like this, you think the guy is a brute like Oakley or someone like that...you do not think of Steve has being an A-hole to other players, which makes his case a paradox...where do these TFs come from? Arguing with the refs! every single one of them....this is an example of his ability to work under pressure....I like Steve as an athlete, but as a sound NBA player his level of skill versus dollar value is way off...I would keep him at say, $6-8 mil...that is his worth at this point..... since this is not happening, time to seperate imho..this team might be at least the same or better off by spending those dollars on an improved 4 with a mid level one who can consisently distribute and run the floor...
Wow!! Love the excuses, guys. Lets keep them coming! We can start blaming God for creating basketball. Keep the creativity going!
I couldn't agree more...JVG just doesn't have the players respecting him and buying into his system...
just curious why do u like dunleavy so much; have u seen the clippers, if u dont know they are on a 11 game losing streak. And have a reord below .500
I called for Rudy's head, well I thought it was time for a change and for this thread's purpose we'll call it the same thing. The players were not performing up to their potential and getting rid of one coach is alot easier to do than it is to replace five, six, or even seven players. Well another year has gone by the wayside and there appears to be no other solution but to make major changes playoffs or not. I would not be at all upset if none of these players were Rocket's when the season tips off next year, I've really had my fill of all of the BS. I watch teams less talented play better ball than us and it's become to bad to even get upset about after all we are stuck with the players until at least the offseason and then all we can hope for now is change.
You know, instead of blaming the stupid tragedies (at the 2nd of which has no effect), you could just blame the TRUE constant in the last two years. That this pathetic team was kept together.
i agree. the real tragedy here is the mix of players. we've had at least 2 full seasons to re-work the "chemistry" and for what? JJ is a wonderful acquisition and GREAT replacement for Rice. IMO Padgett is a nice addition as well, but is underutilized for seemingly no reason. CW? Boki? SF3? i really don't understand this team much anymore. it really hurts... i'm seriously beginning to doubt our ability to make the playoffs .
