Who thinks Steve will be in the rotation?

I voted HELL NO.. not unless we need him at SG.. which I doubt we will

 

Francis looked washed up last season because he is injured real bad. Even when he is injured, he showed flashes of his ability in the phoenix game.
If he is healthy, I think he should be better than Head and most probably better Brooks too (depending on AB's improvement, if he played like last season, he is not much better than Francis).

 

yeah that comment from T-Mac about Francis losing a step was true. Course losing a step meant not being able to cut, Loss of explosiveness and a bit slow to the ball. All because of that ruptured tendon in his leg.

 

Steve FRANCIS will rise up again!

 

Only someone who's been locked in a time warp for the last 4 years.

 

Steve Novak or Steve Francis?

 

I hope he can crack the rotation. We'll need some scoring with McGrady on another team next season.

 

Steve who? I thought we have more than one Steve.

 

Since the Rockets had so much of their success last season without him, I doubt it very much that he would be in their plans next season.

I would say that if they just can't get something good in return for him via trade, then they may just simply buy out the final year of his contract.

 

of course francis won't be part of the rotation.


t-mac will make sure adelman sits francis in his special chair every game. and if he does enter the game, t-mac will ice him out until his buddy Rafer gets back in.


in all seriousness, i think francis will play even less than he did last season. i don't see him coming back from this injury just like bobby sura didn't come back.

 

Rafer Alston and Mike James played surprisingly well in their contract years...and I don't see why Steve Francis won't.

Hate it when players slack off after getting a meaty contract...

 

because he's:

1) coming off of knee surgery
2) played poorly the last few years
3) never been a good 2 guard
4) not capaable of running adelman's offense

need more reasons?

5) in the twilight of his career where athleticism declines
6) never relied on his bball iq to succeed

 

I think that might have been tongue in cheek.

 

I aplologize for sparky... he forgot the topic of this thread.

 

A 75% recovered Francis is still better than Brooks/Head/BJax and even possibly Alston.

 

You people have all lost your marbles. Steve Francis is done. He will never play meaningful minutes in the NBA ever again.

 

And the sooner people here realize it, the sooner we can finally move on. He is DONE.

Seriously, it's not 2004 anymore...
