Did we just see yet another reversal? For like the 10th time, please prove to me how the Rox were inconsistent against lesser teams. We've already established beyond a shadow of a doubt that they weren't. You still don't get it, you start out by assuming that the Rockets are "inconsistent"; yet you haven't established anything at all to establish that they are "inconsistent" any more than any other team over the course of an 82 game season. Accordingly, your explanation for this "inconsistency" is meaningless, because the "inconsistency" as you describe it, does not exist. Yawn, Francis is dumb, blah blah blah. News flash Crash, he's not here anymore. More telepathy - Who gives a damn what the Rockets think about walkover teams? They beat the crap out of them with regularity, which probably leads me to believe that they, in fact, are walkover teams OK, so Francis is stupid now for employing elementary logic? Does Yao bring the same intensity and preparation against Shaq that he does against Jason Collins? Does Jim Jackson get more hyped up to play Tracy McGrady than Brian Cardinal? If so then they are guilty of the same unintelligent basketball that you are b****ing about, and your argument is rendered pointless. Arguments that can be applied across the board like that are meaningless, I suggest you take an elementary logic class to find out why. Otherwise, just let your Francis hate flow without manufacturing artificial reasons for it.
Crash, I say this with all sincerity, but you're acting like a complete moron. This might be the worst post ever on this forum, do you realize how easy this post would be to refute by listing all of Jason Kidd's bad games? Or Kobe Bryants? Or Yao Ming's, and their respective opponents? Do you even comprehend the concept of averages? I always thought you were a knowledgable fan but I guess I was mistaken.
Why is this still even being discussed? Doesn't Francis play for Orlando now? You guys need to get over the past and stop your bellyaching.
I was going to leave this thread open, but calling someone a moron over a former Rocket is just stupid.
