The Perpetual NBA Thread

[pajerokid]

Followed by the Lakers on thursday? hehehe

[kuroy]

palayasin na iyang si Steve Francisssssssssss....ndi niya kayang magdala ng team.

puro error na lang lagi very careless....

I can't believed natalo pa ang houston ..pangitang pangita na. naubos ko tuloy ang isang galong rocky road sa inis ko!!!!


pero si malone ha....gulanit na ang damit banat pa rin. nakakasakit lang siyang maglaro masyadong magulang

[kimpOy]

oo nga napaka careless ni francis parang rookie, parang walang natutunan kay coach rudy, barkley dati.

for houston to win, yao is the way
limit the fouls, play shaq in and out of the paint,

[theveed]

Haba pa contract ni Stevie hehe, I hate him the most sa Houston, eh solid Houston pa naman ako (although I'm rooting for KG and Sam this year)...

I think Francis should be traded for a big man like Ratliff + a couple of backup PF's and a good passing point guard. hehe.

[kimpOy]

masyadong showboat si francis, buti pa si cuttino mobley ang galing ng two lay ups niya.

remember stevie francis was drafted by then vancouver grizzlies pero on drafted day he refuses and asked for a trade.

airhead talaga yan si francis, i hope magbago siya which i doubt at least maski buwakaw si jordan and kobe pasok naman ang bola or atleast may chance pumasok ang bola.

si francis turnover agad before maka attempt sa basket.

i would not be surprise if coach van gundy will bring mark jackson in the 4th quarter
rather than francis in the 5th game.

My biggest complaint? The NBA is turning into a WWE scene, the refs play too big of a role in the games, there are just too much "favored" calls for stars... Those calls on Malone (and no-calls) are just too obvious to ignore... Starting to hate watching big games where the stars are always favored... Same reason why I hate watching Jordan sometimes, breath on him and you'll get called...

[kimpOy]

agree.

kaya nga minsan coaches include those instances sa game plan. they treat it as part of the game.

dapat kung light touch lang ang no turnover occured dapat let go na lang, nakakabagal pa ng pace ng game.

minsan a light touch FOUL agad pero nasiko na lahat lahat wala pa rin foul.

I remember the hype years back that Steve Francis will be the next AI. However closest he could get being an AI clone is on the number of TOs per game ha ha.

The Rockets made bad acquisitions for the past years. They had Cato as starting center and also acquired overrated Forward Mo Taylor. Of course who would forget Stevie Franchise.

They also had a big gamble on Yao. Who would thought a 7'6 player from china will be that good. For me the best player they acquired during the pre season was Jim Jackson who was the most consistent player in their roster.

Anyway, Houston's very lucky for reaching the playoffs with their current roster. They could have reached the 2nd round if they were playing the eastern division.

Personally, I like Cato... I think he's very much like a Kevin Willis in terms of being a backup... Mo is trying too hard to become a SF instead of a PF, although he does make quite a bit of his shake and pop jump shot from 12ft hehe.

I like Cat better than Francis but Cat is really a hog. Sabi nga dun sa write up somewhere, there's only 3 persons that can keep Yao from touching the ball this LA-HOU series... Shaq... Karl... and Cat. hehe

If the next round match-up between the Spurs and lakers push through w/c is very likely Tim the man should be wary of Karl "the thug" Malone. Kitang-kita naman yung pag sahod niya kay Nachbar dapat flagrant foul na kaagad tawag ng ref dun kundi lang siya na star struck kay Malone. Sa mga sumunod na play supalpal naman abot niya kay Nachbar at ayon siya naman ang galit na galit at tila naghahamon pa ng away. What is he trying to prove anyway? That he's a bully? I think and I wish the lakers would not win any championship as long as Karl is in their line-up. GO SPURS
