Chuck only played 9 minutes and didn't start the 2nd half. Blaming him for Yao's game long struggles is a stretch at best. The Suns didn't front...
I'm not sure what you mean... The only person who didn't play that was on the active list is Mutumbo, and only Hayes and Head played less than 18...
The defense was poor, but the bottom line is that when both your franchise players have more shot attempts than points, and neither scores more...
Rafer's strength is distributing, not scoring. When both our franchise players have more shot attempts than points then you need scoring.
we play 4 times each year
Bit of an exageration to say the least. We won which is great, but it certainly wasn't domination. It's not like we blew them out. In fact the...
Francis has always had a scorer role even when not starting, Alston's always been the 4th or 5th scoring option. Rafer didn't start last year or...
There are alot more Rafer "haters" than Francis "haters" by far. Most of us who doubted Francis had pretty good reason. He was beaten out by...
This is probably more appropriate in this thread: An interesting stat that JVG referenced last year when asked about Rafer's shooting is...
The article pretty much sums up my thoughts on Francis to this point.
The good things Francis had done in the past has to be counterbalanced with his struggles in NY and Orlando, and the fact that he was beaten out...
I never really understood the "pushing each other" theory in relation to shooting. Sure it might inspire someone to play better defense or give...
The Rockets defensive scheme was to switch on EVERYTHING. Sometimes this meant Scola or Hayes on Nash after a pick and roll, which is one reason...
I am not saying you're wrong. Certainly Steve has played better than I expected so far. I am just saying it is no sure thing. One great game...
Possibly. Francis may be in shape and playing well now, but that doesn't necessarily mean he was in shape or playing well then. There is reason...
Coach Adelman always said that Francis fell out of the rotation because he came in to camp out of shape and was handily out played by the players...
Francis played great. Hopefully it continues.
Cumlative Stats for all 3 guards over the 4 games they all played in: FRANCIS 78 MIN 11-29 FG, 1-9 3PT 6-6 FT 10 REB 14 AST 6 STL 3 BLK 2 TO...
Some people perhaps over exaggerated his value, but I expect James will help us this season. He played fine tonight, Rafer and Francis were just...
All the guards played well, especially Francis and Rafer. Yao had a great overall game, though he still had too many turn overs (6). Good to see...
