    That's about right! And those are the two players that will be looked upon to improve the MOST in the offseason.

    Moochie Norris. Heres why. The Rockets had a dismal record
    in games that were decided by 3 points or less. Now take Moochie
    Norris lack of production in that 15 or so minutes of play and you have your major reason why this team lost so many close games. If the Rockets could of recieved just a tiny bit of positive production out of Moochie, this team would be in the playoffs.

    Eddie Griffin is the most disappointing because we were hoping this was the year where he would live up to his potentials and since we traded Kenny away at the PF spot, we depended on him more to step up and improve his game.

    My vote goes to Francis. He was supposed to be the superstar to win games and the playmaker to get Yao involved. He did neither!

    Moochie "Martyn" Norris. This is a no playing point Guard. Why not keep Damon Jones or let Tito play more. I would almost just as soon have Matt maloney....

    I cannot believe I just said that...

    At least Matt knows how to pass and not dribble out the shot clock.

    As anyone who's been to a gmae chat knows, I hate Eddie Griffin a lot. I can't believe I stuck up for this worthless @$$ after the weed fiasco... stupid politics!

    how can you vote for eddie griffin? the "kid" is only 20 years old!!! how much "expectation" did you have for him anyway (at least on the court)? if you're voting for griffin based on his offcourt immaturity, i have no qualms; however, his on the court performance is

    a) reasonable for a physically undeveloped 20 year old; and
    b) a possible reflection on the coaching he has received with the rockets.

    i voted "other" for rudy t.

    i expected him to live up to his claim of a "passing offense".
    i expected him to at least get his guards to bring the ball up court quicker.
    i expected him to stop eddie from shooting so many 3s.
    i expected him to stop dribble mania
    i expected him to get outcoached.

    only one of those expectations was met...

    I had to vote for Eddie and not for the off-court sitation but b-cuz he actually had a better year his rookie year! Yeah I know his min went down but come on his season high is 23 and his career high is 25 (twice) but come on he should have broken that! and also his blocks have gone way way down! If he doesnt pick it up Im sorry but we gonna have to let his (fine) butt go!:D

    I left this board a while back in November and just came back recently and the amount of Yao hate and "Rockets hate because of Yao love" is just insane. You'd think we were the LA clippers or something. It's really shame that anybody would even vote for hiim in this poll.

    Why would any one vote for Francis if it wasn't for him this team would completely suck. It's not only him who's not getting Yao the ball it's teh rest of t he teamates as well. I could see last year voting for him since he was out for a while with the Ear problem, and completley ruined the season but this year it is ludacris to vote for Francis.

    I voted for Griffin, with Norris a close second. And Eddie's off-court stuff had nothing to do with it. I just hope Eddie isn't 20 for the next 6 years. Isn't that an impossibility??

    Moochie had an amazingly bad year. You almost have to admire the Mooch for excelling so well at being so bad. He really tried his best. And we've got him for... uh, forever.

    Easily the Mooch. There probably isn't a worse player in the league than Norris. What a wasted contract. :(

    You probably missed the point of the question!!
    Disappointment compares result vs. expectation.
    If you expect great thing from Steve and receive good but not great thing, it is still considered a disappoinment!

    I thought about voting for Moochie, but then I realized I never expected anything out of him to start with....so how could he have been disappointing.:D

    Griffin in a landslide. He was supposed to be a superstar.




    I'm surprised that Cato didn't get one single vote! Last year he likely would have won this poll.
