    With only 14 players on our roster and battier and brooks out for sure, does that leave just enuff chance that francis will be activated and possibly pick up some garbage minutes??????????? :eek:

    WE WANT STEVE!!! to pay back the money he's stealing from the Rockets that could be used on Deke, either that or retire

    He's skipped a bunch of practices, the Rockets have no realistic plans for him to be in the rotation. Maybe if Rafer, Barry, Head, and Wafer all have injuries at the same time then they'll think about it.

    IIRC, he had the flu for a few days, so he wasn't practicing. But he got over that and was ready for the final preseason game, so I don't know what the holdup was. I wanna see what he's got left, though, I wish he played in the preseason.

    I bet those teams offering more money are breathing a collective sigh of relief these days..."We almost gave that dude a contract?! Glad we didn't, Rockets...poor suckas"

    Francis and the Rockets don't look too smart right now on this reunion...

    Yes, he ripped us off less than he would have ripped off someone else. We have to appreciate that.

    Yeah, but he saved a ton by not buying that Lear Jet with that 30M buyout that he got from Portland so he could commute to Miami. Nice work if you can get it, 34M for 2 years for playing a few minutes.

    I do believe Francis will be active tomorrow. It seemed like a toss up whether he was going to play in the final preseason game, and that was only because he hadn't practiced much, not because he was injured. Now with Brooks inactive, I would assume Francis is our emergency PG and will be available.

    It might be active, but he will get NO playing time. He hasn't participated in a full practice in training camp according to Fran.

    He'd be lucky to get activated at any point in the season.

    I seriously doubt he will play. He has yet to practice.

    With Brooks out for up to 3 weeks it's down to Battier or Francis as the 12th man.
