    I'm very excited about the season but I think, at some point, playing time is going to become an issue for someone.


    So let's see who you think will b#tch to the media first.

    BTW, I know some of those guys probably won't be here by opening night but until someone is cut I'm going to include them all. I think it is safe to say guys like Novak, Harris, Landry will keep their mouths shut and are just trying to make the roster so I left them out and only included returning players and some of our new additions who are known for voicing their frustration to the media.

    I don't think people realize how humbling playing at NY was to Francis.

    I wouldn't say that he'll never complain, but he won't be the first.

    The first to complain will be the one who wants to be traded to a team with more minutes.

    It does matter even if we are winning. Team chemistry is essential for success. I hope the team will be able to handle things in-house as much as possible.

    Actually, I should have added a "who cares if we are winning option" because that argument certainly could be made.

    how do you know Francis was humbled so much by the NY experience? is there something your not telling us. IMO he was just frustrated and wanted to get out of there. Yes he may now realize that he is not what he used to be but i dont think he is humble. IMO he will be the first to complain, even though he knows he is not as good as he used to be he must still think he is better than rafer and James. Even in some of the interviews he has done he seems a little frustrated.

    Francis. I don't think he'll ever see any court time unless Head gets injured.

    If history is any guide, the first one to b**** about the minutes will be DaDakota, who will be b****ing about Boki not getting enough minutes in New Jersey.

    Some people are just itching for some controversy.

    i think when the rockets play back to back games the 2 unit might play more minutes.........cause i know the starters are going to get tired which means that we can rely on our bench........thank god we are deep this year!

    Tough question

    I think it could be Francis but I chose Snyder. He probably will not play much. Adelman will pick Steve Francis and Mike James over him so the situation for him is hopeless.
