Suns vs. Rockets

Well I just saw Francis will be out for the game tonight.

Francis suspended for missing flight

February 2, 2004
HOUSTON (AP) -- Rockets scoring leader Steve Francis was suspended for Monday night's game for missing a flight to Phoenix.

He missed the Sunday night flight and would not be with the team for its game against the Suns. Rockets spokesman Nelson Luis said the team would have no further comment.

Francis leads Houston in scoring (16.6) and assists (5.9).

It may be worse for the Suns now, the Rockets might actually share the ball.

And maybe our defense could make Mobley drive to his right once in a while.

go suns.

That, and maybe the Suns won't blow a 15 point lead in the last 2 minutes of the game and lose by 3.

 

[King A]

and his 16.6 pts and 5.9 assts are career lows.

and he already had 2 seasons where he averaged more rebounds than assists

and

i can't stand him btw

overrated to the hell

WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

*sigh*

 

[slinslin]

lol, Barbosa blocked Padgett.

 

[sunsfn]

Barbosa is really playing...........all over the court....!!

 

[slinslin]

5pts 4reb 4ast 1stl 1blk for Barbosa in the first quarter.

JJ with 8pts 3ast 1stl

 

[cly2tw]

Is Barbosa gonna have his first triple doube?

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Marion just blocked Ming. LOL

 

[slinslin]

Ming gets blocked a lot, Amare had 4 on him in the first game this season.

Ugly third quarter. Not blocking out bad shot selection. How many out-of-bounds do the Suns have?

 

[slinslin]

14-2 run by the Rockets and like 5 straight turnovers for the Suns....

 

[Joe Mama]

OK. I haven't complained much about the officiating this year, but that second quarter was just flat out awful. Don't get me wrong. The Phoenix Suns played poorly, but Houston had a lot of help. Yao Ming went to the free-throw line three or four times when he should have. Mobley tipped bad ball out of bounds just before the end of the half. Casey Jacobsen get to run over and called for blocking. It was really bad.

Third Quarter? Isn't it just halftime now?

 

[slinslin]

I meant to say 2nd quarter..

Weaterspoon is killing us with offensive rebounds. Twice after missed FTs!

 

[slinslin]

I thought JJ could struggle tonight because he gets a lot points inside and Yao could bother him.

I was wrong!

JJ is awesome.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

We are doing fine

JJ and Marion are both playing well. That should mean a victory.

 

[slinslin]

JJ got blocked twice by Mobley and missed 2 shots. Well I guess he can't shoot 75% for the game.

 

[slinslin]

Marion is finally shooting well. Must have been January.

 

[slinslin]

They are allowing Weatherspoon to keep the Rockets in the game!
And JJ is cold right now.

But he is awfully close to the triple double that D'Antoni wanted 20/7/9 so far.

 

[slinslin]

20/8/10 for JJ 7+ minutes to go

Voshkul with 2 straight blocks and a dunk.

 

[thegrahamcrackr]

I am tuning in late,

quick question:

Is Zarko in street clothes??? If so, what was the explanation??

 

[slinslin]

Banged his wrist and will miss a couple of games.

 

[slinslin]

Joe put Yao on a poster.

 

[carey]

Yup that was sweet.
